Hmmmm, I never knew it had stopped. Kind of like the 2nd recession. I never got the word we were out of the first recession.
The Conservatives have been slandered since McCarthy and Goldwater. This is nothing new, but the Leftists are getting more shrill.
The first time I noticed it was in 1960. That was when I was first old enough to remotely care.
It probably began long before then.
This article should have been written in 1980.
Good one. Here's what God's word has to say about it:
But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now. Galatians 4:29.
By questioning God, God says, the DNC has lost it's right to rule.
“Right to rule”? Where does Krugman think he’s living, Tsarist Russia?
It started about 100 years ago.
Liberal progressives have taken over the democrat party. They have replaced the God of our constitution with government. They worship government, not God, and they actively attack every public representation of God. This is not the democratic party of our grandparents.
It is discouraging that so many people who profess Christianity vote for a party that stands against God. Allow a pastor to point this out from the pulpit and he will be attacked by government. However, a union boss never suffers from taking money from an employee and giving it to a cause or candidate that employee does not support.
Ironic.
The Slandering Of The American Conservative Movement Has Begun 50 years ago!
There! Fixed it!
These people not only deny that there is any legitimacy to viewpoints other than their own, but that such opposing ideas are informed not by misunderstanding or ignorance, but by wicked - evil - intentions. As Conservatism is denied legitimacy and demonized, one begins to hear increasing calls for restrictions on political expression, beginning, but not ending with those of the Tea Party.
The Left is finally coming out of the closet, as I believe we will see in full force next year.
I don’t think the slander of modern american conservative movement is much older than that since it is a response to modern american liberalism. It cant be older than marxism, which dates to the 1880s. It cant be older than leninism, which dates to the early 1900s. It can’t be older than the communists revolutions in eastern europe of circa 1920. I would guess the modern american conservative moviement was born during the great depression when communism movements started sprouting up all over the world. That would put it in the 1930s. The open slander of the american conservative movement in the media would start some time after that since it would take time for the socialists/communists to infiltrate the media. Seems like some time AFTER WWII would be a good guess since during the war the media would be censored.
Tru dat
"...Rick Perry's theology -- whatever it is -- is not my theology, but I am confident that it is within the American mainstream. On the other hand, Reverent Wright is not mainstream, but preaches a classic millennial/apocalyptic/paranoid/neo-Marxist brew masquerading as Christianity. And Obama sat there for twenty years, just drinking it all in. ..."
Bit late to the party ol' chap but welcome anyway.
Let me complete that headline:
The Slandering Of The American Conservative Movement Has Begun To Be Ineffectual
Begun?
They slander conservatives like Palin, Bachmann, and Cain but leave RINOs like Perry and Romney alone. Makes you wonder why. Because liberals want dufus’ Perry and Romney to win the nomination so that we lose the Presidency.
All we have to use is fear itself.
