The left today is the same as it was then. The members of the S.D.S. and Weather Underground would find welcome homes with MoveOn and DemocraticUnderground.
Our Hard Hats of today are beating the Left without having to resort to using pipes wrapped in flags, crowbars or the like. Instead, they're educated, informed, articulate and bold beyond words. And the Left fears them more than they ever feared taking a beating in '68.
In 1968, the hippies loved having film-clips of their bloodied visages playing on the evening news. Such images turned sympathies to their cause, no matter how wrong they actually were.
And we're not giving them those images to play with, this time. At least, not yet. And not unless it comes to us defending ourselves, our families and homes and our Nation.
But if it comes to that, we're ready.
My God, how we are ready.
And that's what sets me back a bit, you see. For I too, am ready. And I hate, absolutely hate, finding myself in that state. But it's really very simple, you see.
Our future is either with that of the United States of America residing as a true Sovereign Nation, existing among and with other sovereignties of like heart and spirit.
Or as a subject State, of bended knee before the collective of the U.N, otherwise known as Eurpoia. (Via Glenn Reynolds.)
Fortunately, as long as we have the Constitution and the right to bear arms, we cannot be ruled -- by Europia or anyone else. And despite the polarization, I don't think things are as bad as 1968. Americans are not as naive. Every man can now have his own Gutenberg press if he wants. Communism has been demonstrated to be a miserable failure, and apologists for it are, well, a very sorry lot whose noise conceals their lack of popular support.
Which is why they support the enemies of the people who don't support them. And fascist causes in place of Communist ones (which puts them in the v ery embarrassing position of calling enemies of fascists "fascists.")
The biggest difference between now and 1968 is that now there's no draft. When that and the war ended, things got pretty quiet.
At least, until the left went after the guy who ended the draft and the war.
You'd almost think they weren't really anti-war, but that's a whole different topic.
MORE (ON THE LEFT/RIGHT COMMUNIST/FASCIST MERGER): Here:
The people who decided to murder over 3,000 citizens of the world in New York came from the most educated strata of their societies. To seek to comprehend their actions with reference to a medieval religion is to neglect the extent to which they are a product of modernity.
....For Foucault as for Fanon, Hezbollah, and Osama bin Laden, the purpose of violence is not to relieve poverty or adjust borders. Violence is an end in itself. It is exalted by Foucault as "the craving, the taste, the capacity, the possibility of an absolute sacrifice."
Derrida reacted to the collapse of the Soviet Union by calling for a "new international." Whereas the old international was made up of the economically oppressed, a new alliance of “the dispossessed and the marginalized" would unite to combat American led globalization.
....What the terrorists have in common with that strand of European nihilism, whose consequences in Europe in the C20th were millions of deaths, is belief in the primacy of the radical will, unrestrained by any existing moral teachings. This is the reason why Al Qaeda finds it easy to ignore the teachings of mainstream Islam, which prohibits the deliberate killing of non-combatants; they not only hate their [former] selves, they not only hate the [contemporary] world, their religion is based upon hatred of God.
