It is possible to be a socialist, and radical in one’s agendas, and yet moderate in the means one regards as practical to achieve them. To change the world, it is first necessary to acquire cultural and political power. And these transitional goals may often be accomplished by indirection and deception even more effectively than by frontal assault. Political stratagems that appear moderate and compromised to radical factions of the left may present an even greater threat from the perspective of the other side. In 1917, Lenin’s political slogan wasn’t “Socialist Dictatorship! Firing Squads and Gulags!” It was “Bread, Land and Peace.” – Hillary Clinton and “The Third Way”: How America’s First Lady of the Left Has Bamboozled Liberals and Conservatives Alike, Jewish World Review – If you have a favorite Horowitz quote you want to highlight for others then please email it to DavidSwindle {@} Gmail.com.

The left hates Republicans not because of what they are, but because of what the left thinks they are. What the left thinks is this: Republicans are “objectively” racists and reactionaries. The idea of being “objectively” something – especially if it is retrograde – is a time-honored concept of the left. When Lenin ordered the liquidation of the kulaks, he didn’t mean that particular individuals should be punished for particular acts they had committed. In Lenin’s eyes, being a kulak was itself a crime. To own land made one “objectively” an exploiter. Though Democrats obviously don’t intend to put Republicans before firing squads (other than verbal), they view Republicans the same way. They are convinced that Republicans are defenders of exploiters, racists and other oppressors and that – whoever they may actually be – objectively, Republicans stand in the way of a better world. This conclusion flows inexorably from progressives’ belief that if the left can accumulate enough power, they can remake the world. Progressives think they can use the powers of government to end poverty, racism, sexism, pollution, war and even bad habits like smoking cigarettes. The only thing that prevents them from accomplishing these noble ends is the Republican Party, which stands in their way. Republicans, in other words, are people who objectively oppose the happiness of mankind – if only because they won’t spend the tax dollars necessary to buy it. – The Art of Political War If you have a favorite Horowitz quote you want to highlight for others then please email it to DavidSwindle {@} Gmail.com.

The Palestinian terrorists have become the Black Panthers of the contemporary anti-war movement. The leftwing culture celebrates the suicide bombers of women and children as desperate victims of Jewish oppression. Attackers and destroyers of the Oslo peace process are proclaimed as heroes. Terrorists and totalitarian radicals are lionized as fighters for social justice. Israelis and Americans are condemned as Nazis. How many American college students and antiwar activists have been seduced by these poisonous elements at work in our society? It is difficult to know. But one who has already paid for it with her life is Rachel Corrie, a 24 year old undergraduate at Evergreen College in Olympia Washington, who has become known as the “Saint of Rafiah,” the name of the West Bank town where she died. Evergreen is  one of the many leftwing campuses in America, whose values have been turned so upside down by tenured leftists that it recently featured convicted murderer Mumia Abu Jamal as its commencement speaker.

How many poor people have progressives starved since 1917? It’s a good question and somebody should do the research and publish it. Russia was the breadbasket of Europe until progressives seized power in that year and started instituting policies to “share the wealth.” For the next 70 years until socialism collapsed, Russia was a net importer of food always on the brink of famine. In the 1930s, Stalin instigated a calculated famine in the Ukraine to rid himself of approximately 10 million political enemies. His crime was protected by the progressives at the New York Times and on the Pulitzer Prize Committee (they control both institutions to this day). Because soft progressives cover for hard-line progressives like Stalin, Castro and other political monsters — preferring to demonize George Bush and John Ashcroft instead — these atrocities continue. The left’s inability to understand the most basic economic fact — that people need an incentive to produce — has caused the unnecessary deaths of tens of millions of people — mostly poor — in the last 75 years. But thanks to a politically corrupted media and educational system, their pig-headed pursuit of socialist fantasies goes on. – Present from Progressives: Starvation – If you have a favorite Horowitz quote you want to highlight for others then click here to submit .

My reflections after Betty’s murder did not stop with the Panthers. I understood better now who they were, yet was puzzled by the way they seemed to operate with impunity. This was a reality that was a far cry from the image of the persecuted vanguard we had created (and were able to establish widely in the press). Law enforcement seemed unable to stop them, and at times was even paralyzed in its efforts to do so. If one thought about it without ideological blinders, the authorities we accused of harassing them were surprisingly forbearing, and on occasion even showed exceptional consideration. Although Newton had murdered an Oakland policeman, the chief of the Oakland force had warned him when his life was in jeopardy, even though the danger was created by his own criminal acts. And this was not the only instance I knew of. During Bobby Seale’s campaign for mayor, one of his bodyguards, jittery from lack of sleep, in the early morning hours had inadvertently shot and killed a crippled newsboy. This presented the authorities and the press alike an opportunity to destroy the campaign and do the Panthers serious damage. But the bodyguard was arrested and prosecuted quietly, while Seale went on with his mayoral quest – which included regular denunciations of the ‘fascist’ power structure and its brutal repression of Panthers like him. – Radical Son – If you have a favorite Horowitz quote you want to highlight for others then please email it to DavidSwindle {@} Gmail.com.

Without question, the most devious, the most dishonest and — in this hour of his nation’s grave crisis — the most treacherous intellect in America belongs to MIT professor  Noam Chomsky . On the 150 campuses that have mounted “teach-ins” and rallies against America’s right to defend herself; on the streets of Genoa and Seattle where “anti-globalist” anarchists have attacked the symbols of markets and world trade; among the demonstrators at Vieques who wish to deny our military its traininggrounds; and wherever young people manifest an otherwise incomprehensible rage against their country, the inspirer of their loathing and the instructor of their hate is most likely this man. …. For 40 years Noam Chomsky has turned out book after book, pamphlet after pamphlet and speech after speech with one message, and one message alone: America is the Great Satan; it is the fount of evil in the world. In Chomsky’s demented universe, America is responsible not only for its own bad deeds, but for the bad deeds of others, including those of the terrorists who struck the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. In this attitude he is the medium for all those who now search the ruins ofManhattan not for the victims and the American dead, but for the “root causes” of the catastrophe that befell them. –  The Sick Mind of Noam Chomsky , Salon If you have a favorite Horowitz quote you want to highlight for others then please email it to: DavidSwindle {@} Gmail.com.
