"During the roughly forty years preceding the Kennedy assassination on November 22, 1963, progressivism/liberalism was the reigning and nearly only public philosophy;"
He ignores the Mccarthy Era and the great service, extensively documented by Anne Coulter , and others, of how conservativism saved our nation from a liberal based evolution towards socialism and communism. Liberals have become socialists now, where the only parameter by which human happiness can be measured is in ao called equitable redistribution of material wealth according to current Utopian liberal parameters.( Universal Health Care, open up to illegal aliens, the list goes on and on) Joe McCarthy is not mentioned at all. Piereson is therefore wrong in much of what he says. So is PIpes.
Joseph McCarthy was the catalyst that initiated the social evolutionary rage movement of liberal Utopians. And we are here to end it. That is our task.
And the only one up to that task is Duncan Hunter.
Amen!
