We are no longer dealing with liberals. Genuine liberals in my youth would oftentimes say that while they might disagree vehemently with what I had to say, that they would defend to the death my right to say it. However, the last genuine liberal is somewhere in a nursing home drooling and crapping in his or her pants. We are now dealing with Leftists. Leftist care only about winning, and they don’t care how they do it. They might prefer to do it politely, but they all understand that that will not be possible. Therefore, they moved to Plan B, which is to first shut us up. They cannot win if they don’t do that. The fact that the First Amendment was specifically drafted and placed into the Bill of Rights to protect the right of any person to criticize the prevailing wisdom of the day means nothing to them. When it doesn’t work for them, they throw it in the trash.
Democrats = Leftists = Communists/Fascists. Please get that straight in your mind, then you will really understand what is going on.
I would agree, except I think that the statement “we are no longer dealing with liberals” should say “we are no longer dealing with liberals as they were 40 years ago”.
The truth of it is, when Zell Miller gave that speech at the Republican National Convention back in 2004, he was the last of his kind. He turned out the lights when he left the building. (People always held him up as a “Scoop Jackson” Democrat, but I think it is a slander to compare Zell Miller to Henry Jackson, who was fully and knowingly complicit in helping the Truman Administration suppress the knowledge of the levels of communist infiltration in the US government back in the early Fifties.)
The Democrats (liberals) have shifted so far to the left that there isn’t a single one holding office (and haven’t been since Zell Miller) who has the best interests of this country at heart. They are all the offspring of Sixties leftist radicals who find far more common ground with Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn than they do with any Republican who ever lived.
Well put.
Great article on the. Title is The Left Hates You.
Google it. I’m in the road or I’d post the link.
In case I wasn’t clear, though, I am in full agreement with your equation: Democrats = Leftists = Communists/Fascists.
It is why I find it so striking that they constantly invoke hatred of fascism, yet they are ideologically closer to that than any American political entity in recent history.
OTOH, I view this hatred of fascism on their part as having less to do with a dislike of totalitarianism, and more of a nearly knee jerk vestigial tail from their communist roots.
