The Anti-Bush Campaign
Political scientists will teach us that fanaticism, dogmatism, propaganda, persecution of freedom of ideas, is typical political behavior of totalitarian regimes, advocates of the far right, fanatics, fascists or Bolsheviks. Even propaganda considered to be the weapon of the Right or the advocates totalitarian anti-democratic regimes. But the recent war for the freedom of Iraq has exposed that the American liberalism is capable to produce the same negative-preventive elements or pattern of behavior like we find in the Right or even in totalitarian regimes. When I read William Bennett’s illuminating Why We Fight, his response to the 9/11 first American genocide, I thought that he exaggerated the depth of the American self-hate behavior. Bennett argued that the liberals have a strong base of power. They are the intellectual elite, they are the educators and they view patriotism as a negative value! They expressed hate to what they defined as militarism. They view a citizen with an American flag in his hand as a threat to democracy. And they expressed hate and rule intolerance to those who have dared to encounter them. They force their values on the public. They propagated their totalitarian truth.

3. this is farkin hillarious..
I love the part where the media was so anti-war. This would be the same media that relied almost exclusively on government propagandists embedded reporters for it's information and competed with each other to see how many tacky flags they could superimpose on the screen?

4. Yep, what a loon.

"When I read William Bennett's illuminating Why

He should get along with Coulter well.

6. what kind of garbage is this?
Pure propaganda.
This is the time for any true patriot to
spring into action.
If we have come, in the short term, to wince at the sight
of the flag, it is only the natural response to what this country is becoming. I hope we can proudly salute the flag someday.
Demonizing the progressive movement will not help win back America.
