Great Book...MUST READ!
 

“The Enemies Within: Communists, Socialists and Progressives in the U.S. Congress,”

title may seem a little hyperbolic, but this is no mere opinion piece, but a very objective look at the current state of US political leadership. The research is amazingly in depth and will lay out things in a manner that can not be denied.Scary and maddening how the American people let their guard down and have fallen for this over the years.No wonder Dems are urging Republicans to "rebrand", they did it.

"Objective"

But... he's from New Zealand, surely he can't know so much about America to write a book about it's congress without actually being an American!?

Madness I tells you! MADNESS! :dead:

Absolutely. Honestly, how could anyone deny this? Besides being so obvious anyways, this work lays it all out in a well researched manner, evidence is undeniable, read it and see. Like I said, it's been obvious for a long time but those who deny or are on the fence, works like this could convince.Unfortunately, you know the ignorant masses refuse to read now days and not like the media(full of the "progressives") would never give it air time.

Nice try. My comment about you would not understand was in response to someone from another country who could not understand what he described as the "paranoia" on this side of the pond.I was simply saying that I can see why he does not get the legitimate fear of government we have as it's too entirely different cultures. Still engrained in many european nations is the notion of being subservient.I love the UK and mean no disrespect but my god, they still have a Royal Family they just go nuts over and the UK has been ruined by the same cancer that is eating at America now.Not insulting anyone but this side of the pond is different, it is why there is such a fight to accept a powerful government, a welfare state etc when it's been accepted there for many years.Our nation is still fairly young and fought a bloody war in the 1700's to never live under tyranny again.After all that, we are close to being right back there under the "progressive" cancer that has spread in the last 100 years or so, but this is far worst than anything the King could have done back then.This is not paranoia, just look at the evidence.

The author understands the pure evil that is communism etc and can see the obvious, it is still a threat, it is a cancer, simply under another name(progressive) that is eating away at the US.Honestly, we are just about at the tipping point where we may cease to exist as supposed to be.

Fair point. After all there are no European countries as young as the US. And certainly none that have fought against a colonial power for their own freedom.


Christ :dead:

AGAIN, you are taking things the wrong way.I did not say that, but there are strong cultural differences overall, which was the basis for my response in another thread.I did not say ALL, I said many, one can not deny that part of the culuture is there in MANY European nations.Not all, but many.

Great book ..... MUST READ!

A must read:

Hofstadter, Richard; The Paranoid Style in American Politics; ISBN 978-0307388445

http://www.amazon.com/Paranoid-Style.../dp/0307388441

I won't attempt review such a classic here. This is a book that people worth their salt should know something about. Needless to say, it gives a great deal of insight into much of the prevailing slant you'll read on SubSim.

One should really move here. (Former) communists telling the nation there's a communist plot to bring Slovenia back into communism, while the other former communists telling the nation the other communists want to make the country fascist :88)

Still waiting for Everyone to the Left of Me Is A Communist: Why People Who Don't Think Like Me Really Piss Me Off.

Political books need to have more honest titles.

Nonsense, Seuss knows nothing about cats or hats and his ignorance is clearly displayed in his work.

This book is much a much superior read:

You are ALL COMMUNISTS I tell ya, I seen the secret memo about your nefarious plot to take control of the treehouse.

I have read that before and this was nothing more than a hit piece, author was wrong, going after Goldwater and the Conservative movement or the "pseudo conservative" movement as called it. I am sorry, but conservatives have been proven right.

Those who opposed the new deal saw the danger of that much government intervention and power, they knew the government would never cede the power again.They knew in the short term it would not help(it did not, WW II saved the economy) then when they argued against the great society they were said to be heartless, when they opposed the civil rights act of 64 they were called racist.They opposed it because the act was garbage and the saw the ramifications of such things as affirmative action.Did the oppose this because they are racist? Sure, some did. Just like now, many of the things passed by non whites is because they are racist.The push for "immigration reform" is racist. Were all racist? No.They saw the big picture, giving the federal government one inch is dangerous, because they will then take a mile.

Now fast forward all these years later.We have a country in debt due to the welfare state, we have a government with power it was never supposed to have.Spying on people, torturing people, prosecuting journalists under the espionage act, simply because they are mad about their crimes being exposed, attempting to control our healthcare, socially engineering the military and society(attempting to) and all the other evil that comes from a large, bureaucracy that is not constrained.

McCarthy went overboard and lost support but he was absolutely right about subversion by communists and other far left types.Goldwater was right about many things and if american people would not have been so easily duped(like they were in 2008 and 12) we would have a better country now, not the cesspool we currently have.
