The only area, as presented in this article, in which I question him is his statement that the era of big government as the solution to all ills started in the sixties with the Kennedys. I see it as starting in the thirties with FDR. He was responsible for the graduated income tax, social security, and all the New Deal government make-work programs. LBJ was more of the big government guy than Kennedy.

Then, of course, the income tax started under Wilson, another high-IQ moron.

It was Kennedy who authorized collective bargaining by federal employees. It has led to disaster, as Daniel Henninger wrote:

In 1962, President John F. Kennedy planted the seeds that grew the modern Democratic Party. That year, JFK signed executive order 10988 allowing the unionization of the federal work force. This changed everything in the American political system. Kennedy's order swung open the door for the inexorable rise of a unionized public work force in many states and cities.

This in turn led to the fantastic growth in membership of the public employee unions—The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and the teachers' National Education Association.

They broke the public's bank. More than that, they entrenched a system of taking money from members' dues and spending it on political campaigns. Over time, this transformed the Democratic Party into a public-sector dependency.

Thanks for the excellent summary.

Marxism started its march in the USA in the late 1800’s, almost twenty years before the Russian Revolution. Every Democrat president since has furthered its cause. The present one seems intent on ending the slow march and executing the final takeover and installing a One World Government.
