Can We Coexist With The Left?
On Mon, 17 May 2010 08:13:21 -0700 (PDT), in uk.politics.misc, Ron
Peterson , wrote Most wars were begun by Democrats. WW1&2, Korea, Vietnam, Serbia. Wars have multiple causes and Woodrow Wilson wouldn't be a Democrat today. The bit about Wilson. Ridiculous. The modern Democrat party is *exactly* where he would alight. FACE |

... Can We Coexist With The Left? Sun, 2010-05-09 08:59 "The American writer Lawrence Auster had a debate with his readers regarding the possibility of splitting the USA along ideological lines. According to reader Tim W, modern Left liberalism is a universal totalitarian ideology, not a “live and let live” concept. The goal of its adherents is a world government from which no one can escape. Leftists “need conservatives but conservatives don’t need leftists. To be blunt, they can’t let us go. We’d be happy to be rid of them, because to us they’re nothing but parasites and/or oppressors. But they can’t get rid of us because we do most of the work, pay most of the taxes, provide the stability and morality that allow their depravity to thrive with less damaging results. Furthermore, the white conservative population is the buffer protecting white liberals from the minorities....” Continue reading: http://preview.tinyurl.com/z137c10 # If the Death of Ideology occurred with Fall of the Berlin Wall (and arrival of Utopian Capitalism?) then the crudities of Western pragmatism are most evident in USA, where sound-bites, slogans, and symbolism, pass for rational political debate. "The Left" is reduced to anybody who disagrees with Me, as I am Right, and am a hard-working, freedom-loving, individual - as compared to all you parasitic layabouts with totalitarian tendencies. So, folks, if you want sensible debate, don't look to USA, to whom "change" is anathema. After all, if you already live in Utopia, hint of Change is Heresy. When a US Spokesman starts of actually DEFINE what is "Left", then we may get somewhere. Until then, Liberals, Pinkos, Commies, and Beatniks, are all tarred with the same brush. Ducks quacking. |

Bertonneau on Tue, 2010-05-11 08:28. "Yes, the search for scapegoats never ends – “ad infinitum” is scapegoat logic, as exemplified in the fratricidal history of Chinese Communism or the Lenin-Stalin variety of the same. Karl Marx, for his part, spent the last twenty years of his life in “purifying” his Communist International – bequeathing, in the process, a hair- splitting vocabulary of “deviationism” that is still in use on the Left. All histories of the Soviet Union comment on the identical “scholastic” ferocity. Intimations of the same process are already on view in American politics in the “disappointment” of the hard-Left over Obama’s failure to bring the troops home from Iraq and Afghanistan and to close the POW camp at Guantanamo Bay....." |
