Right...I think your post dovetails in with both my assessment and the article. And I agree there are conservatives in there as well.
I sometimes feel that conservatives hiding under a rock, by their silence, contribute to the boldness of Leftists in advancing their agenda. But I do recognize many of us have done that at one point or another in our lives, for various reasons.
That is exactly the same reaction that I have when I visit my sisters and their husbands. I get disgusted and walk out of the living room when I see them watching and believing the lying newsmedia.
My wife is someone who watches. It is painful for me.
“People forget, or willfully obfuscate, the reality that both Fascism, as practiced in Spain and Italy in the 1930’s, and the National Socialism of Adolf Hitler, commonly known by its German acronym, Nazism, were both LEFTIST regimes, that took the logical development of their socialist ideology to its extremes.”
Okay, although I agree with your overall point about how the leftists of various stripes have been joined at the hip, as well as their constant infighting, I just want to take the time to point out that Spain was NOT socialist/fascist, at least, it wasn’t under Francisco Franco. Actually, it was closer to Monarchist with a slight hint of fascism in there. If ANYONE in Spain was fascist or socialist or what have you (or anything close to that), it was actually the Spanish Republicans/Anarchists in the Spanish Civil War, NOT the Nationalists. Actually, if anything, Franco’s group actually MATCHED Nationalism far more than the National Socialists ever did. Just wanted to make that clear since I really don’t appreciate Franco being falsely labeled as a leftist, when he really wasn’t.
Ouch. What a drag! My wife is solid, it’s our children who seem to be utterly obtuse.
Not really a drag...she is no lefty or even a liberal, but...she just doesn’t see the media the same way I do. I have a good amount of disdain, she just doesn’t feel that.
