That’s a pretty good summation of the politically correct mess we are in, IMHO.

Thanks for the ping!
This IS as good as ANY article AND thread I will EVER read. Thanks very much for the post & ping, neverdem. Thanks very much for writing Lance Fairchok, a GRRRRREAT American thinker!
Good article!
They now openly call for the nationalization of private business, the establishment of universal entitlements and increased taxation to pay for them. Why worry about socialist labels? The electorate is complacent, prosperity has numbed our senses and the left has worked diligently for many years to sap our national pride and deface our self-image... After decades of slow yet persistent desensitization to Socialism in our schools, in our media and in government policy, Americans are blind to its ramifications for our prosperity, our individual freedoms and our national identity. Political candidates and legislators espouse openly socialist policies without eliciting the slightest outrage or significant comment, so successfully have the philosophies of Marx and Lenin permeated the national psyche. House Democrats, loudly shifting blame from the consequences of their energy policies, threaten nationalization of American oil companies. Mimicking Marxist Hugo Chavez of Venezuela, their answer to the energy crisis is eliminating free markets... Anticipating the consequences of what they do for political expediency is not a skill the Democrats nurture. Their refusal to support the development of domestic oil reserves, for decades has left us beggars on the world market, susceptible to the whims of theocratic tyrants and Marxist thugs. The record is clear, Republicans voted to develop domestic resources, the Democrats voted against development, by wide margins... Bio fuels have removed important food surpluses from markets, raising food prices worldwide.Bio fuels have done NO SUCH THING, but the rest of the article is worthwhile. Thanks neverdem.
WOW, that’s an awesome graphic — I’ve never seen all the leftist sects laid out so well in relation to each other — it can be difficult to keep track of all the fruitcakes......
Great ping. I call them Bolsheviks.
