Thanks for introducing me to new names to look into.

The sentence can be interpreted two ways. Apparently I took it the wrong way. I was simply looking for clarification.

I always thought Naomi Wolf was an intelligent woman.

Verbally, there is no need for interpretation. In textually it can be different.

Let us not forget Red Diaper Baby historian RON RADOSH who is a serious scholar on the Left in America.

Ron tells this story from inside the Left and methodically dissects their lies, deceptions, and MARXIST disinformation history over the past hundred years.

Well worth reading his early books.

They are not part of "The Right" and while I am willing to take support anywhere I can find it I will not accept them as "brothers in arms" maybe cautious allies that I keep a suspicious eye on at all times.

Because the truth is they have not changed.

The Left has just gone Guano Crazy.

These are leftists that just in some areas have a passing acquaintance with reality. Some of them may actually start to think about a few of the other things they have been spewing, something that a few on the Right would benefit from as well, and come to a more realistic view of life in more areas. In that case I would be willing to have them.

But they have not yet changed.

Second only to deception, the most destructive weapon used against us is to divide us into groups.

When we emphasize or accelerate that division, we become our enemy’s ally.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Any time you get more then around 150 people you are going to split into groups. That is the way humans are made.

Take it up with the Designer if you have a problem with it but do not expect Him to change His design.

It was way more than an interesting display of contempt. I could hear the boots hitting the ground from the author's goose stepping amongst the Seig Heil! yells too!

Geeez these people are idealogue fascists! No dissent tolerated whatsoever.

The good news for those who don’t realize they’ve fallen for the cabal’s divide and conquer strategy is that they weren’t as severely fooled as the cabal themselves were.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

The better news is that people who have bought into the delusion that people should be little robots marching in lock step will always fail because we are not made for that.

[reasonisfaith]

“In lock step” with what?

[Dat]

For some reason, left wing writers always go for long, meandering screeds that don’t really address anything. It seems like this is just some sort of ego exercise.

If an excerpt is not required, I will always post the entire article. Always have. But, damn, this one needed an editor.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Your neighbor.

I may have to love my neighbor as my self but that does not mean I have to agree with him.

In fact disagreeing with my neighbor might be the ultimate sign of love.

[reasonisfaith]

I agree with what you’re saying.

Gullible dingbat.

[Chicory]

So ironic! I can’t believe anyone believes them when they say *Trump* would be a dictator...
