It is the everlasting disgrace of the Clinton Administration that it has chosen to betray America's heritage as a beacon of freedom, and instead to act as the ally and agent of a police state in retrieving one of its prisoners.
Israel is the canary in the mine. What happens to Israel will eventually happen to America itself.
If blacks are oppressed in America, why isn’t there a black exodus?
My parents, who were Communists, always pretended to be American patriots. You can always convince yourself you are: 'I love America, I just want it to be perfect, which it will be when it becomes a Soviet Communist state'. When the left called for 'liberation' what it really wanted was to erase the human slate and begin again. Like everybody else, I see things that need to be improved. I just am mindful of the fact that they can be made a lot worse.
As a result of America's efforts to realize the ideals of equality and freedom, blacks in America are now the freest and richest black people anywhere on the face of the earth including all of the nations that are ruled by blacks.
My parents called themselves progressives. The agenda was a Soviet America...the slogan of the communist party in those days was peace, jobs, democracy. Sound familar? The communist party is the democratic Party.
A key to the mentality of the left is that it judges itself by its best intentions, and judges its opponents - America chief among them - by their worst deeds.
Cindy Sheehan is a raving communist and America hater, and that tarnished her reputation a long time ago. She appeals to the ' Michael Moore left.' Most other people are embarrassed by her.
Professors are not supposed to be dealing in opinions.
The 1998 missile strike on the Sudan was an unannounced, unprovoked attack that destroyed that Third World nation's only medicine factory. Yet it provoked no opposition outcry on the left. The Clinton air strike violated every principle of the current liberal critique of Bush foreign policy.
I would not be here if I weren't persuaded by 20 years of walking around campuses and seeing this.
My book is fair comment. The criticism I have of professors is that they aren't professional. Some aren't professional in the classroom the ones portrayed in my book...they have an attitude toward the university that it should be their political soap box.
Whole fields have developed. They are ideological fields. They are not academic fields.
The aim of the movement isn't really to achieve legislation. It's supposed to act as a cattle prod, to make legislators and universities aware. The ratio of leftwing professors in Berkeley and Stanford is seven to one and nine to one. You can't get hired if you're a conservative in American universities.
