My father, from the early ’60′s always blamed Walter Lippman for perverting the political spectrum by placing a balanced liberalism at the center opposed on the right with Hitler and on the left with Stalin. My father, so he said, learned from the beginning that on the pure left was complete totalitarianism, whether we call it communist or nazi, not a lot of difference. On the far unadulterated right we find anarchism, no state control, or state whatever. Neither pole works, so the balance in the middle is pretty much a balanced democracy like our Founding Fathers invented. My father always made sense to me. I will have to buy him a copy of the Hitler Smiley Face and tell him he is finally vindicated. Good job.
