Seraphic Secret: The N.Y. Time's War Against the Jews: "If you substitute 'supporter, supports, supporting' or an actual advocate, or, I don't know, 'member or adherent' of the socialist/travelling wing of the Left, you can understand where the MSMers are coming from. The Jew is easy. They have had so much practice these 2,800 plus/minus years, they have it down to a science. We believe we are in an enlightened age, Robert, we are not. The past forty years have shown us, once again, that those who wish to take over the world never died. They just went under rocks, moved into academia, government at all levels and started coming back out when the Age of Aquarius began. Today, I'm not too sure we are going to win, although Herbert Meyer an old Regeanite thinks in the end, America will. I truly don't know. I fear for the future of my grandchildren.

Sharin:
The left, the Liberals, the Democrats, Progressives, whatever they call themselves this week are easy to read: they hate President Bush more than they hate OBL. They fear so-called global warming more than the Islamists. And in terms of Israel—they play the moral equivalency card.
I'm afraid too, but that's a healthy reaction. Only an idiot wouldn't be frightened by these useful idiots.

Norman Geras, an old Socialist, puts things so well. We would all, left, right and liberal be better off to at last take in some of what he says. Like all writers, philosophers or critics, there will always be disagreements, but it is time the American Left began to do some research on why they think and behave as they do. Why the Ameican Left hates American so much. I give you all just a tiny, tiny morsel from Norman Geras:
…The lessons have evidently still not been learned of earlier, sometimes calamitous, misjudgements – which produced the Third Period of the Comintern, when social democracy, not Nazism, was said to be the main enemy; and which landed the world communist movement, along with much fellow-travelling liberal opinion, in denial and excuse towards the criminality of Stalinism despite a flood of evidence about this; and which have led, time and again, to a complaisant attitude towards terror and murder for alleged purposes of liberation, so putting in question the claim of those with that attitude to represent a movement for democratic, egalitarian and humane objectives. There is no reason intrinsic to the central values and principles of socialism for these misjudgements or their continuation. But there are clearly, as always and everywhere, simplifying tendencies of thought – in the present case, seeing in imperialism, not merely a crucial feature of the world, but the answer to every question. A thing held too close to the eye obstructs the vision.

Geras is not easy for me to read, I’m old and never got to college, but I have tried all my life to learn and have created my own philosophy. However, those of us who care so much, need to do our homework so that we do not waste our time with such a MikeB. The Socialist of old would turn over in their graves if they heard what the American, nay the world Left is spewing forth!
