sent to another list, from a poster who sees himself as libertarian leaning conservative. he gave it the subject heading.

http://www.jewishworldreview.com/cols/horowitz.html

What he's saying here is basically the same thing that he always says: anyone who is even slightly left, say a vegetarian pacifist democrat, is really a stalinist. What is the proof of this? David Horowitz used to be a stalinist, or maybe it was maoist, and so he would know. qed. Moderate progressivism is just a big front or cover for these raging pathological lunatics. If someone counters this argument, to Horowitz, by pointing out a right wing or capitalist atrocity causing hundreds of thousands of deaths, his retort is that you are trying to censor him, and indeed the calm language you are using is really a front as well because as soon as the binds of society hypothetically were lifted, you would be shooting him in front of a firing squad with your khmer rouge buddies. This is what he said to us at his book talk when we mentioned East Timor. (because if you are in the 10-15% most 'left' side of society, just look at what has happened historically is so many countries that were in great turmoil during various wars of the 20th century. You would be one of them if you had been there). So don't go and even associate with any people who are slightly into progress who use the deceptive terms of 'civil rights', or 'justice' or 'peace', because it's on a steep road of no return. ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
