Is the Left Making a Comeback? Don't Bet on It

Noisy leftist parties and factions in Europe hate the American Republican Party and its leader George W. Bush. When John Kerry's supporters say, "anybody but Bush" -- not exactly a compliment to their candidate, by the way -- they cheer up leftist Europeans still grousing over their diminished fortunes.

But if the world's socialists think Spain gave them a cue to revive the Comintern (communist international),

That's a lot like the caliphate.

Here's hoping.

A dose of cold water for the John F. Kerry boosterers here in the States.

I think the 'left' has been consigned to the trashcan of history for at least the next 20 years. Just a matter of months before all the old-time dems and fence-sitters will see them for what they really are -- anti-American, anti-freedom, and hired 'gun-slingers' for global gunnerment.

"Mr. Aznar had strongly resisted the centripetal forces in the north threatening to tear Spain apart. And even though he chose not to stand for reelection,".....

But CNN said......

. . . and terrorists are mental midgets fitted to destruction, coercion and intimidation -- the left hand of the shapers of global tyranny.

I am not among those who fantasize about a collapse of the lef-wing in America in the next month or two. All good things take time, and that which has been built up over decades will not collapse in a few weeks.

I see things realistically, and know that it will take more blows before the clay colossus begins to crumble. But that is not really important. What is important is that fact that liberals no longer have a chance to win, and are in fact already on the road to defeat.

"What is important is that fact that liberals no longer have a chance to win, and are in fact already on the road to defeat."

Music to my ears, and the 'fat lady' is singing loud and clear.

[DJtex]

The Governing Left in all these countries has moved to the Center. The Left really is dead: in the UK, Germany, Russia, even China. Spain will talk Pro-worker, and rule Pro-business--or it will become a net exporter of labor again.

[jojodamofo]

We have, it is true, entirely broken the power of the liberals in America and the Western world, but they have not given up. Don't forget that they have mobilized the whole uncivilized world against us. Since they can no longer conquer America from within, they want to try it with help from outside sources.

Every Saudi, Afghan and Iraqi terrorist is effectively a mercenary of this liberal conspiracy. The liberals know a victory in the war on terror may mean that we will learn the unhealthy role that international liberals have played in encouraging terrorism.

They fear being unmasked. Fortunately, unmasking has become unavoidable and will inevitably come, just as the day follows the night. That explains their raging bursts of hatred against us, which are only the result of their fear and their feelings of inferiority. They are too eager, and that makes them suspicious.

The hour will come in which all the peoples of the earth will awake, and the liberals will be the victims.

The only way Liberals go away is if you call expose them for what they really are.

When you argue with them, call them Socialists. When they say they aren't prove to them that they are. When they cannot debate you through intelligence and logic and instead call you a name, say "See? college really didn't teach you much except how to be a good Socialist."

Always mention 20 million dead russians under communist rule and that if you were in Tienamen square now protesting the government you would have already been shot.

Make sure you throw in for good measure how the grand Socialist experiment of the 50's and 60's in urban areas was an abysmal failure and that those areas are still under Liberal rule and nothing has changed.

Finally, if you haven't been called a Nazi by this point, make sure you sit back and very gently let him know how you feel. Don't tell him, but use the quote about the social democrats. Tell him you understand that it's ok to feel like that because this is a free society. Then tell him that it was Hitler that said it.

When you argue with them, call them Socialists. When they say they aren't prove to them that they are.

Read this excellent article by Naspino for facts to back you up when you do so!

John Kerry and the International Socialist Party

[Republic Rocker]

Great Read!

Yes..the left is in trouble but making alot of noise.....Remember the wicked witch in the Wizard of Oz shreaking (ala Shrillary)..."I'm MELTING, I'm MELTING!

In the global economic race nations will have to adopt the Capatilsm ideology to survive. We all know the right is the party that understands this best and can lead in its success.....

Spain had some of the best economic numbers in Europe and this fact being handed to the new leader is a huge responsibility to keep going...Under his socialist ways they are sure to implode....

Thus big blame goes to socialism and many wont forget it for years to come.....again installing a more fiscal conservative ideology in the future.
