"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
“I will never forget when the professor of my graduate seminar in advanced Communist Studies, Zbigniew Brzezinski, chided me for using the word “totalitarian” to describe the Soviet Union.”
I thought Brzezinski was a staunch anti-communist.
Please tell me that this is a trend.

Ugh, just reading and remembering how badly Democrats have acted makes my stomach feel all sick and woozy again.
How can Democrats be so dumb, how can they be so stupid, when Liberalism means human rights and Liberation it is a false term and definition. The only war that Liberals like was WWII and that was when we got into the war after getting attacked. FDR didn’t care about freeing the Jews, he cared about popular opinion.
I changed into a Republican(first time I registered for party registration) when I realized that all of the arguments for Iraq had no point, the Anti-War protestors were vile, malicious and had no point, in fact nothing had any point but to put on a travelling circus. It was then and all of the evidence for Saddam’s destructive tactics that made me align with Republicans because they saw the world the same way I did. The Democrats cannot as they are completely warped on the Iraq War.
I also learned about the common sense values of Fiscal Conservatism, started to oppose mulitculturalism(which I found to be very stupid already), other Liberal pet issues(which I also found dumb) and I also found out that what I liked culturally was linked to the values of the GOP mostly as it emphasized taste and class in culture. I also loved Libertarianism and I think that the GOP is America’s best kept secret. It is that hidden by the Media and the colleges.
I can never be a Democrat today, they are too pretentious, too hypocritical, too “cool” and hip, and too linear. They are idiots, who really have no idea how people feel and take their time coming with the populist shovel to drive America down a ditch.
I mean arguments against the Iraq War.
I always knew that Democrats were bad even though my mother was a flaming liberal. Although I’m not a Republican and I don’t always vote for them, I have to this day never voted for a Democrat and I’m proud of it.
He was/is also a chief proponent of the theory that totalitarian regimes cannot improve on their own without intervention. Zbig used and uses the term totalitarian frequently. It seems to be one of his favorite words. Something doesn't sound right about this narrative.
I do. There were news clips of him standing in front of Pastuns crowds in Pakistan urging them to go fight for Allah in Afghanistan. The way I remember it Zbig was the most hawkish member of the Carter administration.
Democrats and liberal leftists must be protected from their own stupid ideas. For if we gave them everything they want, even they would hate what they end up with.
They’re emotional, simplistic and short sighted, in other words, they’re foolish.
You’re so absolutely spot-on! Because (seemingly) no liberals/Dems are willing to address this most vital issue or even voice it, they seem (at least to us conservatives) to not care a whit about it, or even worse, not care about our country and its future. Talk about biting the hand that feeds you.
And he’s also an active and vocal anti-semite as is Carter. Not good and never was, for our foreign policy.

Excellent article. BFL.
Remember which president Brzezinski served? 'Nuff said.
In the 1970s, I'd wager hard cash that the term 'totalitarian', or any derivative thereof, only ever crossed his lips accidentally, if at all.
He was, while serving Jimmuh Peanut, the ARCH-accommodationist to Soviet expansion.
That's the line the media fed us during the Carter years. It's pretty laughable. It's kind of like when they call Ruth Bader Ginsberg or the Clintons a “moderate.”
You know the media. They live in Bizarro land.
“The only war that Liberals like was WWII and that was when we got into the war after getting attacked.”
Liberals were isolationists until Hitler attacked the Soviet Union.
