….It’s not that our president is dumb: but he is what the good ol’ Soviets used to call “nekulturny”: uncultured in the sense of being willfully ignorant of too many things that make our country what it is. And hostile to those things he doesn’t appreciate . . . 2009 has been a year of [...]

…..Healthcare “reform” is not about uninsured Americans — nor is it mere “socialism.” It is Communism, effectively putting the entire nation’s healthcare system under state control. It must be defeated just as past generations of Americans knew the threat of Communism and devoted the nation’s treasure and even their lives to defeat it….

….Unlike Prof. Hollander, who escaped Hungary following the crushing of the 1956 revolution by Soviet forces, “Western intellectuals who remain attracted to communist ideals never had the disillusioning experience of living in an actual communist or socialist society.” . . .

By this, they do not mean human beings who dump toxic waste into rivers, streams and ground-water supplies. They are not referring to factory owners in China who release pollutants through unfiltered smoke stacks. They are [...]

….(Mao’s) ethical core . . was precisely what the New Left was peddling, in the form of “free love” and the Dionysian frenzies of drug-fueled musical orgies such as Woodstock. But there’s one crucial difference: The New Left (following the gradualist revolutionary tactics of Antonio Gramsci and Saul Alinsky) promoted egoistic hedonism as an acid [...]

Over the weekend, I noted the late-Christmas Eve announcement that the Obama administration had lifted the bailout caps on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, attempting to sneak it past Americans while they focused on family, friends, and religious observance.
