New Right is now wearing the subversive freedom-loving mantle that the old New Left used to wear. Power to "we the people," right on!
The Hip and Edgy New Right Vs. the Stale and Decadent Old Left
The Left (which includes establishment Republicans) favors bloated bullying bureaucracies rather than lean, responsive (and responsible) governments. They favor hoary Marxist bromides and crooked crony capitalism over entrepreneurial
elan and a
free market economy. They favor
corruption and an
elite ruling-class rather than rule-of-law and "we the people."
And yet many on the left believe that they are cutting edge subversives man. No, they are not. They are homogenized dolts marching in lock-step while being used by their puppet-masters like the dispensable pawns that they are.
A John Hiatt lyric goes: "It's been a
slow turning, from the inside out." A slow turning indeed, but the impassioned movement of freedom, individualism, and righteousness that used to belong to the Left now clearly belongs to the Right.
I know it for the truth--I have been here to see the entire transformation over the decades. Facts are facts--the New Right is now wearing the subversive freedom-loving mantle that the old New Left used to wear. Power to "we the people," right on!
