Oh, my. Waaay over my head. LOL
Upon reflection, you're probably right. Since they could never permit themselves to be called liberal, they had something to hide and I think what that was they were hiding was their deep distrust of the government (when run by Republicans) and absolute hatred of the country.
Yes, Peach, they have always had, and WILL always have, their deep hatred of freedom....people being FREE....to hide. ALWAYS!
Peach the "left" has been here since the 1920a. They were a small, quiet group. They came out of Mother Russia, known as the Red Russians. The were the inellegensia, they were the entertainers. Because of WWII, they stayed quiet, but active. They recruited government workers into their circle, they recruited union workers into their entertainers unions. In the 1960s, their children, who have been indoictrinated from birth, became univertisy students, their elders leftists having worked their way into colleges and universities, simply enforced these children into further liberal (leftist) ways of thinking abd recuited "manipulater" minds into their folds.. These 1960s students are now professors in our colleges and universities, even out military acandemies, spewing their leftist thoughts into innocent, impressional minds.
