Twenty years ago, I was struck by the way various sorts of political “progressives” — Communists, socialists, liberals, “civil libertarians,” “moderates,” “pragmatists” — all spontaneously cooperated with each other. It wasn’t a conspiracy; there was obviously no central direction. But the pattern was too clear to be denied.

This is very true. There's no such thing as the left-wing conspiracy. Instead they are united with similiar goals, which is to overthrow America as we know it, and to change our culture permanently. I hate to say but they're on progress right there.

That's because conservatives are always losing ground to the other side. The problem with us is that we think we can help the "misguided" left to change their minds.

They see us as their enemies. It's way past time to see Cultural Marxists as our greatest enemy on our country today.

The Constitution says to protect America from enemies, foreign and domestic.

We must not forget.

The typical bee isn’t a fanatical Marxist-Leninist; it’s Dan Rather or Katie Couric.

What a GREAT ARTICLE! Thanks for posting it.

Not a problem. There are more articles about the hive if you click on the source. I might post some more if there's enough interest on this subject.

I found the Hive very interesting, and so true.

Every time a leftist speaks, we should immediately call that person a "marxist", a "communist", or a "red".

Why not? They are calling us "fascist", "neo-nazis", "far-right wing extremist", and of course, "racists".

It's time to play dirty. It's real late in the game.

Haha, that's a good one. That is what the hive is all about, basically. The hive seems unstoppable at this moment.

Thanks for the ping, MR. Great article, thanks for posting it.

This is a very interesting analogy. I'm looking forward to reading the links where Sobran develops this analogy.

This if a very appropiate first post for you on FR. Thanks again.

Not a problem at all. It's quite interesting that there is no central figure for the left. It is indeed, a hive.

Anyway, I wanted to learn how to post an article. It's real easy.

I think one of the central issues here is the liberal news media is pushing the left's agenda for them. This makes it difficult for the masses to see it as a message from the liberal left.

On the other hand anything coming from the right is labled right wing agenda by the liberal media and the masses immediately back away from those ideas.

In order to have success from the right, they need to address this problem and come up with a practical solution.

I think having FOX news on the air is a great first step.

Don't forget internet sources such as Free Republic. Also other good news is that the ratings for the news programs on the big networks are declining rapidly. There will be a time in the near future that it will be pointless for networks such as CBS to have evening news with Dan Rather. Unless they will be satisifed with much smaller audience.

The only reason that they got away with that act for so long is that there were no other alternatives. Today, it's a whole new world. Heck, I would not be the way that I am if it was not for the internet. Perhaps I would just be more interested in sports.

By saying FOX news is a great first step doesn't lessen the importance of the internet.

FR is a great example of the internets ability to reach people who have minds of their own and can think for themselves. Unfortunately most americans are programed to process the 10 second liberal news media sound bite as reality.

The big three major networks still have a rather large audience, but fortunately it is declining.

Shafarevich argues that socialism is not just a modern phenomenon, but a perennial problem of decadent societies. In the name of equality, it tries to destroy the family, private property, and religion — institutions that prevent the state from monopolizing loyalty, wealth, and authority.

A continuing problem. The stupidity of "moderates" and "centrists" who are apathetic about such destructive tendencies in our decadent society is also part of this syndrome.
