Judge a man by his enemies ? The American Communist Party thinks presidential candidate, Patrick Buchanan , is a neo- Nazi. But if anyone deserves the prize for anti-Americanism , it is their very own leader, Gus Hall - who long ago should have registered as an agent of a foreign power.
Today the American Communist Party clearly believes more in the politics of RACE than it does in the old fashioned CLASS politics.
It has nothing to say to the millions of white blue collar workers - who might not approve of affirmative action programs- except that they are hopeless reactionaries condemned to the junkyard of History.
For a whole generation now the stock in trade of the Left has been angry blacks, sullen hispanics, the rabid Third World Crowd.
Indeed the Left has a vested interest in the very social evils which obsess it: RACISM, SEXISM, HOMOPHOBIA.
The decadent Left does not see Bill Gates's billion dollar scholarship largesse - POOR WHITES NEED NOT APPLY - as a mockery of the American ideal of fairness, as downright un-American. I hope feisty Pat Buchanan sees an issue - and an opportunity- here. It could take him all the way to the White House !
And Buchanan is no more of a Nazi than good old Joe Kennedy, the grandfather of Congressman Patrick Kennedy of Rhode Island.
Not the sorry plight of the Jews , but Pearl Harbor, finally made this country hysterically pro-war by late 1941.
I like politicians with an edge , even when the phony Lovers of Everybody denounce them as " hate mongers ".
Like greed, a little hate might be a good thing. It is a driving force in life - makes us all the more human.
Recall the movie " Wall Street " where the villain, Gordon Getko declares : " greed is good !" In the Reagan era those words -to many - sounded downright liberating.
Now I won't even suggest that " hate is good !". But often enough hate is liberating.
Love and hate are the salt and pepper of life. (then again Lenin said of Stalin: " From this cook we will only get peppery dishes !" )
