You are right on. I have been talking about it for months. I also am an historian, but you are far more exoert than I am.
I think the best writing I have seen on the issue is by Jonah Goldberg's well annotated serious academic work ( not polemic as it has been painted by the nationalist sociliast press)
If you haven't read it, get a copy and go through it:
Jonah Goldberg: " Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of AMerica's Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning"
We have our work cut out for us. Next they will try to disarm America and traduce our military.
Thanks ..but I’m not the historian ... the writer is ... ;)
