What I gathered so far is that the level of passion and adrenaline with which intellectualls and politicians well over a hundred years ago tried to repudiate the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, is fascinating. For me, personally, is more than just fascination for I was born and lived half of a life time under one of cruelest communist European dictatorships. Correct me if I am wrong, but I don't sense these days any animosity against their "theories". Sarah Palin and the Tea Party are doing a good job in that direction but it is far from enough. No political commentator/TV, radio, showhosts of the conservative persuasion, apart from Glenn Beck (from whom I learned about the above book), dared to compare the new-progressives like the Prez, Hillary & Co to what the founders of progressivism were advocating. It's a pity because what these politicians say to the public today are in many cases literal quotations from their predecessors "oevres".Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14194181472081845638noreply@blogger.com
