All of the "progressive" movements, when you think about them, contained similar elements....rapid social change, disregard for long held principles and norms, a twisted reliance on a "new fairness." For the working class, which eventually turned to forms of slavery and torture to any opposition. etc.
For example, NAZI was short for the National Socialist German Workers Party.
Imagine history a hundred years from now when this natural trend of states away from freedom becomes more clear and predictable. Wouldn't it be great if historians note the natural resiliancy of the Americans that refuted the trend once and for all in the first few elections of the 21st century? A guy can dream....
What is it about the liberal media that is baffling? They are always on the wrong (evil) side of anything and everything.
It's all about money, folks.
One of these days we will be able track the blood money that has gone from the Opecker Princes and the Islamofascists like Uncle Soddomite to buy the left wing mediots and politicians the past 2 decades.
When it comes to what might appear to be strange behavior coming from the lunatic left, we just have to identify the money they are getting and from whom the money is coming. Then, the mystery behaviors are no longer mysteries.
No.
The public has been deceived into believing fascism comes from the right, where generally it comes from the left, as it did in Germany, Russia and Iraq.
Another modern myth is that the modern political divisions in America were born in the civil rights struggle of the sixties, as we heard ad nauseum during Trentlottgate. But that's not true, hardly anyone, Lott included, wants to turn back the clock on race relations. The division was precipitated by Vietnam, which spawned rioting in the streets during the 1968 Democratic Convention. By 1972 the antiwar liberals had seized control of the Democratic Party, which triggered the realignment of conservative Democrats and Jackson New Deal, pro-defense Democrats, to the Republican Party.
Since then, the Democrats and their media allies have advocated withdrawal from Vietnam, appeasement of the Soviet Union and Cuba, no defense against nuclear missles, support of communist insurgencies in Latin America, etc. Supporting Iraq isn't surprising for that bunch.
