While the American Left and their mind-numbed robotic followers
may bristle at any comparison to the totalitarian regimes of the past,
including those of Mussolini, Hitler, Stalin and Mao, their mindset is the same insofar as abridging freedom
of speech and, through intimidation and the coercive power of government,
permanently shutting down their opposition. This totalitarian mindset is
in full flower on the college campuses of today and openly visible for all to
see.
The two major candidates for the Democratic presidential
nomination, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, are full throated adherents of
this brown shirt mentality. Hillary has referred to Republicans as the
“enemy” that must be defeated while never saying the same about radical Islam;
she has unabashedly supported the Black Lives Matter movement and promoted the
ongoing chaos on American college campuses as well as lobbied for government
control of talk radio, the internet and all political funding and speech.
Bernie Sanders has called for a “revolution” that would, in essence, crush the
economic and political rights of the opposition in order to relegate them to
subservience.
The United States is indeed a nation of immigrants and for those of
us who came to America from failed totalitarian states or from countries
destroyed through wars fomented by the adherents of socialist/Marxist ideology
we see clearly that the long shadow of political oppression is rapidly
descending upon this land. As the 2016 presidential election approaches
there is no issue of more importance if America is to remain the land of the
free.
