I've started to gently question the beliefs of the liberals I know, without getting into any loud argument. Much to my surprise, some of the gentle-sounding people I know actually talk murderously at times. I wouldn't have believed it, because these are people I like a lot. They have a warm side. In their own minds they all believe they are driven by love and compassion. And yet, some of them -- certainly not most -- seem ready to hang the current media scapegoat from the nearest gallows. ...
I suspect that real Stalinists are different, though. If you look at the record of totalitarian murder in the 20th century, about 100 million murdered by Communist regimes, and another 40 million or so by the Nazis and other fascist parties, including war victims, there are those who kill for strategic purposes, and those who kill from rage. Stalinists killed strategically, because they thought mass murder was necessary to achieve Paradise on Earth. They were often intellectuals who simply came to the "rational" conclusion that a whole category of their fellow human beings must die, always for some "higher purpose."
But now, when Conservatives started step-by-step rightly using a very appropriate characteristics – not label! – of what that outrageously Socialistic Obama-in-Chief with his cronies imbued to the last bone of their bodies with Marxism-Leninism are doing to the country, the immediately raised a screechy howl.
And you know why? Simple: They recognize themselves in that mirrror, that’s why.
