100 years of history and the tens of millions of dead are evidence of what happens when leftists accumulate power.
Van, baby, we have no intention of restricting the damage to just one-tenth of the left. We intend to squash you like a bug. Defeat you utterly. Leave you in a smoking ruin.
Then, we'll salt the earth around it.
lurk: “100 years of history and the tens of millions of dead are evidence of what happens when leftists accumulate power.”
You’re right, and Americans have no one to blame but themselves if they do nothing to resist the anti-American left.
You know, I don’t really have anything against progressives, per se. You could probably even call me a traditional liberal, one who believes in freedom and justice and opposes bigotry and rules for rule’s sake.
However, I don’t see anything liberal about today’s progressives. These folk aren’t content to let their fellow man live free. These are big government totalitarians. They won’t agree to disagree. They want to squash us and anyone else who doesn’t believe government should be our god.
That’s the fundamental issue here. Like most modern conservatives, my ideology does not require me to destroy dissent. At worst, a conservative government would be indifferent to the sufferings of individual citizens, but it certainly wouldn’t stand in the way of private citizens forming voluntary unions to aid citizens in need (something even leftists have the power to do right now!).
Leftists, on the hand, won’t let us live free. They have an idealized, utopian way that they think the world should work, and Heaven help anyone who dares disagree. They would seriously create a Brave New World or 1984 if they could, and we would be their targets. As Mark Levin often says, the left won’t be happy until everyone is equal...working in the rice paddies. He’s right!
