Is the Left Playing with Fire Again?

By Patrick J. Buchanan

To those who lived through that era that tore us apart in the ’60s and ’70s, it is starting to look like “deja vu all over again.”

And as Adlai Stevenson, Bobby Kennedy and Hubert Humphrey did then, Democrats today like Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi are pandering to the hell-raisers, hoping to ride their energy to victory.

Democrats would do well to recall what happened the last time they rode the tiger of social revolution.

As the riots began in Harlem in 1964 and Watts in 1965, liberals rushed to render moral sanction and to identify with the rioters.

Perhaps it's time the left got burned, and good.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

I have said for a long time that the aging radicals of the Left were looking for a 60s redux so they could feel relevant again. If they had had their asses kicked and their prominent leaders had been appropriately imprisoned instead of given professorships, we wouldn't be going through this nonsense again. They still have the same lying media, too--only the faces and names have changed.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
