There are a lot of parroted talking points through which to weed, but I'll take a shot, as "devil's advocate". Oh no...another so-called MODERATE. Hey goodtrips...let me provide you with a bit of political tutelage. First of all...none of my stuff (writing) resembles "parroted talking points", even in the most remote form. It's all original thought, assembled from what I read, what I have read [going all the way back to Ayn Rand (even as far back as Hayek & Mises)]; & what I know in my gut. Secondly...despite what you may think (and eternally hope for)...nothing is accomplished in politics via MODERATION...Nothing !!!

The wings drive the bus...period.

[Actually, there has been some good that came as a result of moderation...one such triumph that comes to mind would be the urging for bi-partisanship (& the hard work behind the scenes) from Republican bigs like Everett Dirksen on the Civil Rights Act of 1964...but they're few & far between.]

[BTW - Did you know that more Democrats voted against the C.R.A. of '64 than Republicans?]

But I digress.

Anyway...someone said in one of these threads (maybe it was you) that there's no difference between Moore & Limbaugh. A larger point might be attempted by our so-called moderate friends that, there's really no difference between the far left & the far right.

NOTHING COULD BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH.

The far left has always been driven by anti-Americanism. This is a truth that cannot be denied...even when they said it wasn't so...

...IT WAS SO.

Take a look at the real truth behind H.U.A.A.C. & then the Hollywood black list & even the red scare in general. They taunted (& even censored) McCarthy...saying that he went far too far. They said their first amendment rights were being violated (the commies', that is.) They said that Communism wasn't a real threat.

We now know (thanks to the Venona papers) that, not only was the threat real...it reached the highest levels of American government; & that McCarthy didn't go far enough. Yes we do have a right to free speech...but we don't have a right to overthrow the f_ _kin' government. There were spies not only in every major administrative, military & intelligence department...there were spies in F.D.R's major cabinet positions !!! There were spies in the O.S.S. & even at the head of the goddamn State Department. [That would be like saying today that Condeleeza Rice is secretly a member of Al-Qaeda !*!*!...think about that.] And they were all taking their marching orders from Stalin...[Stalin even had a state-based hit out on John Wayne...which wasn't rescinded 'till Khrushchev came in.] They had allies & mouth pieces in academia & the press...& ESPECIALLY Hollywood...a true "fifth column". Their aim was to overthrow the government of the U.S. & transform our way of life to theirs...to cure us of our love for individual liberty & move us into collectivism & devotion to the state (which was their religion, incidentally.) These directives showed up in document after document after document, gleaned from KGB archives & Soviet policy strategies...hundreds & hundreds of them...it's an undisputed fact.

Unbiased historians look back on the period & wonder what we were thinking about...it was going on right under our nose. They even moved in a monolithic political mass...first, when Hitler attacked Russia...the American left went around railing about fascism, urging us to attack Germany. Then, when Stalin & Hitler formed their pact...the American left mysteriously became pro-fascist & outspokenly anti-war (sound familiar yet?) After the war, when news of Stalin's gulags came filtering in...the American left became Stalin apologists !!!

Now put this all in contrast with the American right...& you cannot even begin to compare the two.

See...I don't trust these people...it's that simple. Old battles aren't forgotten...they're re-fought. The same people that hate free market capitalism, the Christian right & American foreign policy today are the same people that planted stories in the press about Prescott Bush in the '30's. In the last 10 months of the Viet Nam war...we were winning (did you know that?...another fact.) But these same people had the American political landscape so polluted with propaganda that the politicians caved in & pulled out. These are the same people that fought us tooth & nail during the cold war. And the same people who used the freedom found in our system to try & bring us down...were supporting a system that would have not permitted that very same freedom. Michael Moore is one of these people...he would tear us down with lies; & then what? George Galloway is one of these people. Limbaugh is not.

And the worst thing of all ? The modern day Democrats have thrown in with the Moore/Galloway mentality.

Sorry...I don't trust 'em (& there's no comparison.)

A,BTW...please don't come back with a laundry list of bad things from the American right...I've heard them all...we know them all. But at the end of the day...we stand with America. Who does the left stand with?
