Two Ideologies Only; Third Ways Formulated By Communists
Tyranny Unmasked, Vladimir Lenin Since there can be no talk of an independent ideology formulated by the working masses themselves in the process of their movement, the only choice is – either bourgeois or socialist ideology. There is no middle course (for mankind has not created a “third” ideology). (This does not mean, of course, that [...]
Dr. Strangehold: How the Republicans Stopped Worrying and Learned to Love the “Third Way” — Diane Alden
By Diane Alden The NewsMax Years The rallying cry for the journey down the "Third Way" ought to be: "Cry havoc! Slip loose the dogs of the trite bromide!" (Apologies to Shakespeare.) Gypsy Rose Lee might have described the "Third Way" as the intelligentsia and the political class gyrating, bumping and grinding to: "You Gotta Have a Gimmick." By [...]
American Frankenstein: How America’s “Best” Helped Create the New Russia — Diane Alden
By Diane Alden The NewsMax Years, 7 October 1999 For the last ten years, United States policy towards Russia has helped to shape a cumbersome creature which seems to be lumbering towards a return to the old centralized command and control economy, to chaos, or perhaps to a bizarre combination of both. Rather than moving in the direction of a [...]
Robert Welch: Defining the Isms
Liberty Letters Quote of the Day, Robert Welch There are many stages of welfarism, socialism, and collectivism in general, but communism is the ultimate state of them all, and they all lead inevitably in that direction. In this final stage, communism, you have a society in which class distinctions are greater than in any other, but where position [...]
Using Jefferson As A Cloak for Revolution
By Steve Farrell Democrats In Drag, Part 7 Tyranny will never bind a great and free people by preceding its terrible deed with a confession of ill intent. To believe that is to believe nonsense. In free societies slavery is won by consent; and consent is won with a disarming smile, a sympathetic heart, a list of promises to groups, a series of [...]
Contract With America: The Betrayal Begins
By Steve Farrell Democrats In Drag, Part 6 On the steps of the U.S. Capitol on September 27, 1994, more than 300 candidates for the U.S. House of Representatives stood under an unusually warm, sun-filled sky and made history. All of them were there joining hands and rubbing shoulders with one goal in mind: to help launch a new revolution -- the [...]
Eradicating the U.S. Constitution by Design
By Steve Farrell Democrats In Drag, Part 5 A half-century ago, in a classic exchange between two men on opposite ends of the moral and political spectrum, Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev bragged to American patriot and Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson: "Your grandchildren will live under communism!" To which Secretary Benson [...]
Groveling in the Gutter of the Gulags
By Steve Farrell Democrats In Drag, Part 4 If ever there was a person suffering under the delusion that there really was a nickel's difference between the Democratic Party and the Republican Party, Newt Gingrich's surfing in Alvin Toffler's Third Wave and his application of the same as the launching pad of 21st century Republicanism should [...]
Gingrich, Toffler, and Gore: A Peculiar Trio
By Steve Farrell Democrats In Drag, Part 3 The most-heralded achievement and high water mark of Republican leadership since the revival of America's military superiority under Ronald Reagan is, without question, the coming forth of the "Contract With America" during the election of 1994. Its 100-day surge through the House of [...]
Clinton and Blair's Center-Left Democracy
By Steve Farrell Democrats In Drag, Part 2 Democrats In Drag, Part 1, "Technology, Sovereignty, and the Third Wave," raised a justifiable flap about the hush-hush history of that Tsunami for political and sociological change called the Third Wave or the Third Way. It presented the first layer of evidence that the 1990's famously popular Third [...]
Technology, Sovereignty, and The Third Wave
by Steve Farrell Introduction, Democrats In Drag, Part 1 On November 11, 1994, in a post-election victory speech, Republican House member Newt Gingrich revealed to Congress what his Contract With America, his Republican Revolution was all about. (1) He called it "The Third Way," a progressive movement he would interchangeably refer to as the [...]
Democrats In Drag — Steve Farrell
By Steve Farrell Democrats In Drag, Foreword When I began this project a decade ago, I recognized the title I chose, "Democrats in Drag," would be provocative and controversial, offensive and humorous, hated and praised, cursed and hallelujahed. I also knew it was marketable. Yet the bottom line is the title was chosen because it reflected an [...]
