Lee noted:
<<My other theory is that the left has inherited a tradition,
or aspects of a tradition, that goes all the way back to Lenin.
In revolutionary Russia, Lenin and his followers labeled
themselves the Bolsheviks, or "Majority". It was a conscious
political move to (evidently) subtly affect the semantics of
the discourse, so that they'd retain a psychological advantage.>>
Lenin also said: "Probe with a bayonet. When you strike steel, withdraw! When
you hit mush, dig in!" This explains the success of Rightist media, which
identifies itself, without aprobrium; and a Leftist media which hides behind
centrist, or middle of the road, identification. Let us look at the liberal
record on foreign policy, and see what has been accomplished? In fact, the
Bush the 1st record on foreign policy, even considering the idiotic handling
of Saddam, after his disengagement from Kuwait is worth criticizing. Not only
is the old media leftist, but the State Dept is also thus. It, being a
subsidiary of George Washington University. I am not sure who the State
Department represents, but it doesn't appear to be most Americans, either
liberal or conservative. Ah! a point of unity mayhaps?
