History Doesn't Repeat Itself, But It Rhymes

The diner scene in this clip from Confessions of a Nazi Spy (1939) perfectly parallels the descent of Europe into moonbattery, and the willingness of some here to pull the USA down after it.

Let's hope we still have the character to defend the American exceptionalism established by our forefathers — despite the disgrace of the Moonbat Messiah's election.

On a tip from Wiggins.

Those days are long gone.

The end of a true patriotic America ended with the communist infiltration of the Democratic Party, Hollywood, the press and the US State Department immediately after the end of WWII.

McCarthy was RIGHT!

Obama is the final result of the smart use of our own US Constution against our uninformed masses.

The meek in the US will not win because they. of both political parties, are too lazy to think.

History repeats its self. And it it is going to get a bit more ugly before it gets better.

It's going to get a LOT uglier before it gets better. All the radical leftist organizations already feel empowered now that Obama won, they believe they can do whatever they want. They're already attacking the ELDERLY (liberal wimps). Wait until he actually is in "Power". Until he "RULES" as they like to say. But the Jews made it through Germany and the German people came to their senses and rejected the mistake they made (with a passion) - so will this country! Much quicker, this is a greater country.


McCarthy was always right - the only thing he did wrong was NOT doing enough!

Absolutely and totally. As Van has noted in the past it is utterly incredible that "McCarthyism" is the defining concept from his era and is a perjorative - when what was at stake was information being passed to the USSR which had expanded across half the world and killed millions of people.

I liken the treatment of Sarah Palin this electoral cycle very much to the treatment of McCarthy in the day and both are signs of how much the left views them as threats.

Hot Air with its recent "ODS" (Obama Derangement Syndrome) meme is starting to get me down.

Granted, it's not fitting to compare Obama to history's greatest monsters just yet. I'll be damned, though, if the mere suspicion of a whiff of a "derangement syndrome" prevents me from voicing displeasure and apprehension at the way this is all turning out.

I go with Coulter in saying that "we owe it to the Democrats to show their president the exact same kind of respect and loyalty that they have shown our recent Republican president." Moderation cost us the election. Partisanship carried the election for the Dems.

Time to chuck all the RINOs out of the Grand Old Party, and to give Obama and the Dems what they deserve for being socialists, Reds, commies and traitors to the American Way. Yes, I too agree: McCarthy was right.

McCarthyism was ugly and wrong, but for the right reason. I always say the worst thing that came out of it was the communists got a "get out of any debate free" card. From then on, any time you would call one of them on their tendency, however right you were, they just say the M word and shut the whole discussion down. Sort of like some of those other words people use. That's why we haven't been able to stand up to them since.

We 'can't stand up to them' because we don't.


And someone needs to tell the actor in the propaganda piece that it's not a democracy, it's a REPUBLIC.


And the commies had already infiltrated the govt. by that time. They were against the Nazzzzzies(love the way they pronounce it) because the National German SOCIALIST workers party opposed the communism that had been festering in Germany for a hundred years.


This piece is hard for me to watch because it is such blatant propaganda. As I was told by an older friend quoting a WWII vet, "We fought the wrong side."


Our boys should have stayed home from Europe, N Korea and Vietnam and killed off the commies here first. Until we figure that out we're in for the old definition of 'insanity' - doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

FDR's entire administration was filled with Soviet spies. Anyone remember Alger Hiss? FDR screamed up and down that Hiss was never involved in communism. Guess what? When the USSR disolved in 1990, a database was released and it was called The Verona Papers. Guess who was marked down by the KGB as a Washington informant? Yep, Alger Hiss. Ronaldus Magnus was always decrying that the Soviets were invading Washington and Hollywood. Notice how the left always denied vehimently and then attacked its accusors. Which, by the way, is their same tactic, ala Kenneth Starr and Joe the Plumber. It just shows you that "progressives" only want to see socialism and communism progress. They couldn't give a fig about capitalism.
