Re: Dancing

It's become a standard technique here to re-engineer the terminology - or even annihilate it - until the discussion becomes impossible. By a combination of continuously inserting the buzzword "conspiracy" when I have never even approached the meaning of the term, and attempting to rejigger the political spectrum until Nancy Pelosi practically becomes a "moderate," you can generate the idea that there is no active political ideology in America at all other than the "crazy right."

Leftism/liberalism dominates the current government, the public and university education system, the entertainment culture, the arts, and most of the visual and print media. It is the foundation of most international organizations, including the United Nations. In all of these areas, there is an active support of leftist ideas and attacks on opposing ideas. I don't know what you are thinking of when you use the term "liberal movement," or what you think a "liberal movement" has to do in order to be defined as one.

As I've mentioned - a number of times - this state of affairs no more requires a "conspiracy" than the racism of the Deep South in the 50s required a "conspiracy." That conservative/libertarian ideas show up as the glaring exception in ALL of the above venues should indicate something to the thinking mind.

I have repeated some version of this post at least half a dozen times. Maybe you should print a copy out and pin it up somewhere, or at least bookmark it. It would save me a lot of time.
