Probably most of you know of David Horowitz, raised, as he describes it, by card carrying communists. I apologize for not remembering the exact circumstances but I believe the scales began falling from his eyes during his association with the Black Panthers during the 1960s; most recently he’s caused a commotion coast to coast by confronting the left in its lair on college campuses. On his blog he has a multipart entry deftly explaining how and why we’re being herded toward the ‘socialist gulag’ that is fascinating– and chilling– reading.

civil truth (Diary) Tuesday, August 25th at 1:56PM EST (link)What would be useful and make this a genuine diary were if you were to give us a summary ofd David’s articles and provide some commentary.
The greatest evil…is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried, and minuted) in clean, carpeted, warmed, and well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voice. Hence, naturally enough, my symbol for Hell is something like the bureaucracy of a police state or the offices of a thoroughly nasty business concern. -C.S. Lewis

Cheers, derhoosier

The Hell on Earth Series
“A nation which can prefer disgrace to danger is prepared for a master, and deserves one.”
Worth it for the links to Horowitz' writing.
Achance (Diary) Tuesday, August 25th at 2:02PM EST (link)Though the linking is disjointed and I had to keep going back to the first article to link to each succeeding one – might be an IE issue however.
That said, anyone here who hasn’t read Rules for Radicals by now doesn’t understand the situation we’re facing and Horowitz does a very good job of condensing it.
In Vino Veritas
Agreed.
Elizabeth (Diary) Tuesday, August 25th at 2:32PM EST (link)And it’s not an IE issue; I had the same problem. Here are the links for the sake of others’ convenience:

“‘You come of the Lord Adam and the Lady Eve,’ said Aslan. ‘And that is both honour enough to erect the head of the poorest beggar, and shame enough to bow the shoulders of the greatest emperor on earth. Be content.’” — C.S. Lewis’ “Prince Caspian”
Oops.
Elizabeth (Diary) Tuesday, August 25th at 2:33PM EST (link)Forgot “Part 3″ through “Part 6″, but you get the idea.
“‘You come of the Lord Adam and the Lady Eve,’ said Aslan. ‘And that is both honour enough to erect the head of the poorest beggar, and shame enough to bow the shoulders of the greatest emperor on earth. Be content.’” — C.S. Lewis’ “Prince Caspian”
Means and Ends is Part VI...
rbdwiggins (Diary) Tuesday, August 25th at 5:17PM EST (link)But I thought the original title for “Part VI Continued” more aptly described the modern Progressive…
The Nazi Option: Alinsky, Beck, Satan and Me, Part VI (continued 2)
“Well, the trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, but that they know so much that isn’t so.” – Ronald Reagan
Thanks!
Elizabeth (Diary) Tuesday, August 25th at 5:35PM EST (link)I missed that one — thanks for pointing it out!

Hell is other people – Sartre
All you have to do is read Comrade Obama's books
Achance (Diary) Tuesday, August 25th at 2:18PM EST (link)and listen to his speeches. He’s said exactly what he intends to do allbeit in very coded language. But if you’ve read lefty writers and have some understanding of leftist propaganda coding, it is all right out there. He is a skilled communist political operative, today’s evolution of getting “Clean for Gene” all dolled up with lipstick so it isn’t so obvious what a pig he and his minons really are.
In Vino Veritas
Horowitz' matter of fact incapsulation of Alinsky
Achance (Diary) Tuesday, August 25th at 5:23PM EST (link)is much, much scarier than reading Alinsky himself,for even in Rules, Alinsky uses a lot of code.
In Vino Veritas
Alinksi is Just One Tool of a Larger Movement
Swamp_Yankee (Diary) Tuesday, August 25th at 6:22PM EST (link)He’s usefull because he was a mentor to both Hillary and Obama, so that makes him real to people who would otherwise dismiss calls marxism.
Horowitz knows the soul of the movement was born in a prison cell in Ustica.
The communists are just part of the gang. I identified seven.
archer52 Wednesday, August 26th at 12:26AM EST (link)The communists are only one part of the larger “perfect storm” crew that is trying to cripple our country. When I was a detective I always found identifying the motive as a good way to identify the bad guy. I did the same thing with the groups attacking our nation. I came up with seven major motives. See what you think
http://truthandcommonsense.com/2009/08/23/why-socialize-america-lets-play-the-agenda-game/
I think with the election of Obama, they are realizing it may be now or never to make the big move. Look for a “leg sweep” to take our nation to its knees. It has to happen. Look at Chavez and what he has done over the last dozen or so years and learn.
The key will be silencing critics. I fear of the life and health of Beck and his family, only because if I were wanting to make a statement about remaining silent, I would use him as the example. Chavez is harassing and I think arresting his critics. Obama may use a more direct approach. Do not think the DOJ dropping the NBP case was an accident, that was an “atta boy” moment. Now, somebody owes somebody a favor.
I wrote a novel about this time twelve years ago. It can only end one way. It is human nature, those who would rule, and those who would resist.
