The momentum has been steadily leftwards for the last 100 years or so, and I tend to be pessimistic, but it's true that there are signs that you are right. I hope that you are. I do think that people are really starting to get fed up with having our universities act as centers for socialism and political correctness. Agreed that the Churchill thing is probably opening sleeper's eyes.
I am personally an admirer of Bush, and voted for him. I do think, though, that on a fundamental level, his viewpoint bears some similarity to that of the Dems. In that he seems to believe that it is the job of government to order society. Even if his ideas on how to order it differ from the ideas of the Left.
Yeah, one does not think of Long Island as exactly a haven for conservatism.
"....And Jay Footlik, John Kerry's liaison to the Jewish community..."
Man....imagine being named "Footlik"....
Foxman's got his own power base to protect, just like Je$$e Jacka$$ and the NAALCP poverty pimps. And that means making sure "his people" don't leave the democrat plantation.
If the RJC really wanted to drive their point home, they'd pull out some footage of Howard Dean working the crowds during the Rat primaries, crowds where Palestinian flags were plentiful and American flags were absent.
Well, I hope you guys are right, and maybe you are - after all, the tide does turn every 6 hours.
Reagan, IMO, has been the only president in recent years to understand or even care about the ideals of our founding fathers. But I don't at all think our leftward march was halted in 1980. Slowed down for awhile maybe. Sped up under Clinton. Moving slower with W, but still moving.
Stepson? I thought the kids he had were his own.
Do you remember President Reagans quip about liberals believing in Marxism, and conservatives don't because they actually read Marx.
My mistake, I thought you said Deans stepson, I didn't see the kerry referance.
Oh, yes Kerry and his constituents are running around trying to quiet Dean down. It's quite funny actually. I just think Kerry should worry about his own family first.
The Democratic party is now dominated by the Left, and the Left internationally is openly antisemitic, anti-Israel, anti-American.
In the U.S., the Lefty pols (but not academia) try to hide their antisemitism.
Like changing the way they 'talk' about abortion, they'll try to be careful about how they talk about and to Jews. But their committment to abortion-on-demand and their antisemitism will remain the same.
