ESSAY 63
THE "NAME CALLING" MYTH
Someone has said that "Labels are Libels." The idea here
is to label someone with a "color word" that brings up bad
connotations. If inaccurate, it is slander or libel.
Today, the radical left is calling historical moderates
"the radical right." If I were to respond in kind, I would
say something like this: "The radical left is so far left
that Stalin is to the right of them." "Let them get out of
government and do something constructive like HOE DAN
QUAYLE'S POTATOES."
The game is really political "cussing." In the past, it
was the Fabian Socialists that were in power in all three
branches of government. Now that Congress is controlled by
conservatives, name calling by the radical left will probably
escalate.
An example of conservative name calling was labeling
liberals "communists."
Let us attempt to be objective. For almost 200 years,
America was Christian in belief--at least intellectually.
The framers of our Constitution began with this presupposi-
tion.
Fabian Socialists rejected the Marxist tactic of in-
stalling socialism by violent revolution. They opted instead
for change via political process. The Fabian Society was
organized in 1884 in England. The name comes from Quintus
Fabius Maximus, a Roman general and statesman who lived in
the third century B.C. He defeated Hannibal in the Second
Punic War by a strategy of delay and avoidance of battle.
American socialists adopted the strategy of English
socialists. They used the tactic of revolution by gradual
indoctrination through our educational system and the mass
media.
Most of the media became radical left socialists.
Then government formally accepted this system.
From an historical standpoint, then, the Executive
Branch and the Supreme Court are controlled by the "radical
left."
The national leadership of the Democratic Party are
Fabian Socialists and have left the Judeo-Christian values of
its constituency. By leaving the values of the majority, it
has denied itself the right to the honest use of the name,
"Democratic Party." If we are going to use labels, let us be
accurate in the use of labels. The leadership of the
"Democratic Party" would better be described as the "National
Socialist Party."
World socialism has failed. One of my senior citizen
friends recently reminded me that Franklin D. Roosevelt said,
"Some of my best friends are Communists." Instead of contin-
uing FDR's romance with failed socialism, it is time for the
majority of the good, solid, moral democrats to rise up and
take control of their party.
