WASHINGTON Two conservative activists deeply involved in the anti-communism movement of the past are planning a broad strategy of re-creating those efforts in a new mass movement to fight radical Islam. Jack Wheeler, a strategist credited with formulating "the Reagan Doctrine" that helped bring down the Soviet Empire, and Steve Baldwin, a former California legislator and the executive director of the Council for National Policy, have teamed up for what they describe as the creation of an "Anti-Islamofascism Movement."
"One cannot write the history of the Cold War without acknowledging the key role played by the American Anti-Communist Movement," they write in a memo to conservative leaders. "It was a broad movement involving many different organizations that, for decades, kept its focus on the defeat of the Soviet Empire. And it succeeded."

[...This entire battle is going to be steeply uphill because of our own
prevailing fatal Liberal orthodoxies which have taken massive root...]
This is my fear as well. Back then, Communism was "over there".
Islamofascim is "here" ... in our courts, our school's, government
and communities. I have said this before, but the 90's TV series "V"
metaphorically outlines the strategy of Islam to take over the world.
The worst would be to become Islam Fodder ... one bite at a time.
I fear the worst.
Forgive me, but what or who is MFVOV?
Jack? Is that you???
It's me. Do I know you?
I don't know. There's nothing on your home page.
Where are you from?
Omaha.
I'm afraid that initiatives that are essentially "charm campaigns" have
low level of success.
They didn't work with the Nazis or the Communists.
As Churchill said about the Nazis/Facists: "These people are either
at your throat or at your feet".
In other words, either they are on the offensive trying to kill you.
Or on their knees begging to be the few thugs whose lives are spared
after peace is brought about after enough of the thugs have been killed
in battle.
Half-measures or odes of friendship are most likely the fast-track
to dhimmitude.
For those of us that survive whatever the President of Iran has in
store for us.
And that which the leaders of the West are too cowardly to stop.
Good to meet you Omaha Jack.
Actually, I was having some
fun with you because this post
is about 'Jack' Wheeler.
However, I'm from Socal and I
know a few people named Jack
from this area. You never know
with whom you are blogging.

I'll answer for her. It is Military Families Voice of Victory.

Sorry. Went right past me.
Thank you. That is an awesome site.
God bless you for raising great defenders
of liberty. My thanks to them as well.

My little squawk on this issue, and I've subscribed through World Nut Daily, is that silencing clerics who oppose us is what history tells us to do, thanks to Attaturk and now practiced by all Muslim leaders, whether it be in one direction or another. Religion is the key factor fueling these fascists, and it was missing in communism and nazism, which is why they are implacable foes.
We recently had a potential "Charlemaigne in Iraq", an Ayatollah taken out despite violent demonstrations to protect him. He advocated separation of church and state, and grew too popular.
It's not the truth. Cancer is not a single disease but a wide range of different diseases of which there well over a hundred types. There are over two hundred types of cells in the human body. There are four different kinds of lung cancer, three different kinds of skin cancer, etc.
All true, but none of that has anything to do with, nor alters the truth of Jo's statement. I think you missed her point in the initial comment.
While you correctly state that there are hundreds of cancers, my hypothesis is still valid and worth further investigation.
Cancer is still the leading cause of death in the United States, despite decades, and over one trillion dollars, spent trying to eradicate it. The ongoing "war against cancer" is America's war without end. It is now a thirty-plus year long war, having been officially declared in 1971 by President Richard Nixon. Seven presidents later, it continues to grind on, its bureaucracies fed by billions in annual tax dollars and its questionable goals and strategies institutionalized throughout the medical-industrial complex, including government, academia, and the private sector.

"Yeah well, throwing government money at the "war on cancer" pretty much insured it would never be wiped out. A cure for cancer would be fatal to those thriving on a cancer research based economy."
The initial statement could leave the impression that cancer is a single disease when there are well over 100. Getting to the moon was easier than the "war on cancer."
