She details the leftists' ... reflexive opposition to democratic leaders and movements, from Chiang Kai-shek to the Nicaraguan Contras.

First time I've ever seen Chiang called a democrat. He actually worked closely with the commies till he decided they were a liability.

He may have been less bad than the commies, but he was no democrat.

I love this woman. She’s so brave. And so snotty. Wish I could be more like her in defense of our nation!

In the DC area today, she was on Rush and Gallagher AT THE SAME TIME!! Ann with NO commercials (I could switch back and forth).

Awesome.

I haven't reads her book, but it's worth pointing out that our founders abhorred the idea of mob-rule; for the very reasons mentioned in the article. The term “democrat” was considered a high INSULT to those esteemed men!

I’m about halfway through the book and Limbaugh’s right. The chapters on the French Revolution are riveting and eye-opening. Marie Antoinette comes off as quite a sympathetic figure, contrary to the “let them eat cake” image a lot of us have been taught.

Am waiting for the book.

“A Tale of Two Cities” reveals all one really needs to know about the morality of the French Revolution. The French mob, Rousseau’s human animals, the guillotine, the Reign of Terror and its triumverate. And Dickens never even got around to including its full circle back to despotism. One big problem was that Dickens was in the minority in England at the time. Most of the literati fell in love with the French propaganda without bothering to study what was actually happening. The French made the Russians look humane.
