"derecha"="izquierda"

Thomas Woods escribe:

"The Republican Party of 2008 is not the first political organization to adopt the slogan "country first" as its guiding philosophy. One of the intellectual fathers of twentieth-century German fascism was Paul Lensch, who wrote in his book, Three Years of World Revolution, that the philosophy of German fascism (Nazism) was expressed in the slogan "Gemeinnutz geht vor Eigennutz," which means "the common good comes before the private good." "Country first" or "national greatness conservatism" in today's vernacular.

In Mein Kampf (1943 Houghton Mifflin edition, p. 297) Hitler explained that in his "noblest form" the Aryan "willingly subordinates his own ego to the community, and if the hour demands, even sacrifices it." The individual has "not rights but only duties," said the mass-murdering dictator. The Nazis adopted a "25-Point Programme of the Party" in 1925 that was prefaced with the statement that "the activities of the individual must not clash with the interests of the whole . . . but must be for the general good." Fatherland First!"

Que tan diferente es este discurso del de la "izquierda" o incluso el centro?

El mismo colectivismo de siempre con otros colores y otro sabor.

Uribe el caudillo

Luego de estas declaraciones del propio vicepresidente, las intenciones reeleccionistas de este gobierno son claras.

Ahora quien puede negar el talante autoritario del gobierno de Uribe? Que desgracia esta maldita tradición caudillista de America Latina. Porque las masas terminan eligiendo y reeligiendo a este tipo de personajes como Uribe y Chavez? Porque no aprendemos de nuestra historia?
