JoeB’s thoughts (@ 15) made me take another look at a blog posted yesterday by Shannon Love (http://chicagoboyz.net/archives/9801.html), in which she ponders the mindset of someone who is predisposed to believe the racist quotes falsely attributed to Rush Limbaugh.

Love wrote that, “At the far end of the spectrum, the leftists become delusional to the point they believe they are trapped in a gotterdammerung struggle of good versus evil that justifies any action they might take in fighting that struggle. When dangerous fantasies, once the providence of the 5% most radical left, become accepted as true in the 40% just to the left of center, the rest of us are in great danger.”

It recalls the reportage by an FBI informant of the inner workings of the Weathermen, in which the well-educated comrades (including Billy Ayres and his murderous wife) blithely spoke of forcing millions of their fellow citizens into concentration camps. This is the kind of mindset that now occupies all too many seats of power in the current administration. Pray for the Republic…
