The Left Hates America

Hillary Clinton and the Radical Left***It would be difficult to recall, for example, the number of times I have been introduced on conservative platforms as "a former civil rights worker and peace activist in the 1960s." I have been described this way despite having written a detailed autobiography that exposes these self-glorifying images of the left as so many political lies. Like many New Left leaders whom the young Mrs. Clinton once followed (and who are her comrades today), I regarded myself in the 1960s as a socialist and a revolutionary. No matter what slogans we chanted, or ideals we proclaimed our agendas always extended beyond (and well beyond) the immediate issues of "civil rights" and "peace."

New Left progressives-including Hillary Clinton and her comrade, Acting Deputy Attorney General Bill Lann Lee-were involved in supporting, or protecting or making excuses for violent anti-American radicals abroad like the Vietcong and anti-American criminals at home like the Black Panthers.* We did this then-just as progressives still do now-in the name of "social justice" and a dialectical world-view that made this deception appear ethical and the fantasy seem possible.

As a student of the left, Jamie Glazov, has observed in an article about the middle-class defenders of recently captured Seventies terrorist Kathy Soliah: "if you can successfully camouflage your own pathology and hatred with a concern for the 'poor' and the 'downtrodden,' then there will always be a 'progressive' milieu to support and defend you."* Huey Newton, George Jackson, Bernadine Dohrn, Sylvia Baraldini, Rubin Carter, Mumia Abu-Jamal, Rigoberta Menchu and innumerable others have all discovered this principle in the course of their criminal careers.*** Daivid Horowitz

I don't know. But I love living in the Bible belt. Wonderful weather, low taxes, etc. Our area has alot of executives in it, so the school districts are fairly good too. And I don't feel the local and state governments are prying down our necks at all....at least, not yet.

These freedoms may not always exist in America, They don't exist on college campuses. You cannot criticize the PC. That is the whole problem. So many hypoctites there

I see your point.I only did six months of college -should've stayed.

My wife's employer will not allow anyone to wear rebel flags on their clothes even while producing such things(more hypocrisy in the modern world).That doesn't bother my wife too much,because the rebel flag would mess up her color scheme anyway :-)

I worked at a plant until it closed in 1999 that would crack down on any expression that it thought was white racist,yet allowed African-Americans great slack in expressing anti-white sentiment. One particular t-shirt proclaimed "the blacker the college-the better the knowledge."
