"They will accuse us of their own conspiracy." This has been our mantra here at for years, going back to the days of Ronald Reagan. It's an observation that is right so often, it qualifies as an axiom. So try it. Make a list.
      What are seeing, and we should be grateful to Nancy Pelosi for highlighting, is a complete reversal of positions the Left held when they were on the outside looking in.
      Speaker Pelosi can be found on the internet saying that citizens disenchanted with their government should get in their government's face. Pres Obama as much as said the same thing before the election. Hilary Clinton yelled, during the campaign (and my ears are still ringing from that shrill banshee cry) that it is patriotic, yes, patriotic, to speak out, and speak out loudly, about things you find wrong with your government.
      Now Speaker Pelosi says it is "un-American".
      Yes, I know this bothers you...the duplicity, the hypocrisy, the unfairness.
      Get over it. Understand the "game" as they understand it.
      We'll be on this theme in one way or another for the rest of the summer, for it's going to get hot.
      For years, back to the Clinton era, Clinton officials and spokesmen defended their side against much of the anti-Clinton rhetoric from the right as "Nazi", while I'm still scratching my head as to what, if anything, was ever a "Nazi-tactic" coming from people out of power. Once GW Bush became president it was easier to slide the Nazi Rag with the Leftie trombone, for it had a power theme then, only, and here's the secret, they always accused Bush, et al of so-called Nazi tactics which weren't factually true...but which would have been true had they been in power. The source of their lie is that they always accuse us doing what they know they'd do if waering our shoes.
     As for the Nazi tag, it's a device, that's all. Take Senator Durbin's famous Nazi-link to GITMO detainees (did he really mean Abu Ghraib?). It was based on a factual lie, as no prisoners in the US, state of federal, are treated as well as they are at Guantanamo, and a damned sight better than the Japanese internees during WWII...that is, if you're actually looking for any concentration camp comparison ever managed by the US Government. Durbin later apologized (under duress) for the abuse of rhetoric, but never had to stand any scrutiny over the underling lie. Besides, and this is a common theme that underlies the use and mis-use of "Nazi", Durbin wouldn't know a Nazi tactic if it bit him on the arse. He only knows rhetoric that will work....which is a Nazi thing, by the way.
     He, (actually all of them) know that by using the Nazi tag to describe ordinary folks in Tennessee going to church on Sunday it can never be used back against them. The fact is, the modern Left approves of concentrations camps, as we very well may see within the next few years, only they will be called "re-education centers", or somesuch, as Stalin's Gulag was, or the infamous camps in East Germany (the beat surely did go on there), where, I'm told you could listen to really amazing music, as almost all the finest symphonists were housed there at one time or another. The DDR was like the Lexington Drug correctional facility in the 60's, where, on a good Sunday afternoon, you could fine some of America's finest jazz performers jam.
     "Nazi" is an important word to the Left, for it is meaningless to average Americans except to signify sending Jews off to ovens, and, when I was kid, burning books. That generation is about to die, so the terms has to have new meanings, especially since 1) the Jews are nack on the table as to hate-worthy and 2) so is sending people, retards, old folks, etc "to the needle" since the ovens are so messy...and obvious.
     We are in the process of seeing the Left and Right re-melded after 70 years of name calling simply because the communists/socialists in power in Moscow (the internationalist Left) didn't like how the NSDAP/Nazis (the xenophobic nationalist Left) were kicking the snot out their guys in Germany. In truth, if you've followed Soviet film from the Stalin era, you know he'd have given worlds to have a sense of national identity in the USSR Hitler had in Germany. He'd also liked to have had a seventy year track record in industry, trade guilds, and a white collar class, while trying to build a new Russia.
    What we see now is the new-unified Left in America trying what Hitler tried (and succeeded in one sense) and that was manipulate a sophisticated social structure to bend to his political will. No such sophistication existed in Russia under Stalin, just a few royals and bourgeosie (who needed to be shot or dispossessed, cherchez la Russe!) and 90% of illiterates who, according to Stalin, were little more than statistics. The Communists' only option was to strip away what little veneer of civilization they had and begin all over again, tabulae rosa. (More on this later in a different context, for it is a major difference between the Russian experience and the European experience, which America is trying to copy.)
    So Moscow declared Germany to be "Rightist" and told all their minions around the world, London, Paris, Rome, Hollywood, to let 'em have it with both barrels...except during that period of the non-aggression pact, when even Barbara Streisand thought Nazis were OK. Thus "the Right", which has been used to tar and feather George Washington, Ronald Reagan, Lou Gehrig, Rush Limbaugh and poor old Officer Crowley, really means little more than "the enemy" to the Left. Any enemy.
    The point is, the communists and nazis, they never were that different, except to academicians who had already chosen sides, and who had a vested interest in how the game played out. The Nazis and Communist were like two crime gangs, one working the suburbs, the other the rail yards. That's about all. It was always a turf war.

   Today there is no longer any sense is drawing a distinction. Just as 90% of all professing Leftists (or progressives) could tell you one interesting thing about Marxism that would indicate they'd read anything outside Googel and Wikipedia, that same 90% couldn't write a single declarative sentence about fascism or nazism, either history or ideology, without the same device.

Why this is important
    What we must know is that when Hilary says a thing six months ago that Nancy Pelosi contradicts today, and denies was ever spoken six months ago (if asked) is that the lie is of no consequence to either. Neither is getting caught in the lie. All that matters is kicking ther ball donew the field to a specific, desired end.
    So get over the unfairness of it all.
    This fight or game we are engaged in with them is not about a final gavel, or a game of publicity with the public, or a nanny-nanny-boo-boo moment. The have declared this fight to be for all the marbles.
    So set you jaw and make sure you walk home after the fight with your pockets full, and they are left in the dirt, their pockets empty.
    Then, pause and reflect, and never let the victory go to your head.
    That was their first mistake.
