There is no difference between Democrats and Republicans – just a matter of degree – and it has been that way for a long, long time. It’s just that, until recently, Republicans did a better job of concealing it. The reason for this is that the majority of those comprising leadership in both parties, and those in the media, are spawned from the same centers of intellectual indoctrination. David Horowitz has done stellar work exposing this.
People fail to realize that the majority of mainstream media and party leadership on both sides of the aisle attended the same schools. George Bush, John Kerry, Ted Kennedy, Obama and a host of other apparatchiks either had the same professors or were students of other, like-minded professors. Do you think those professors changed course outlines based on class attendees?
Which full circles back to my comment, that they’re spawned from the same seed and that the difference between them is a matter of degree, not substance. This is why they go about business as they do. It’s why the media is so enamored with Obama – he is their king; he’s the communist who broke the political glass ceiling.
In his marvelous book about the “American experience known as the Vietnam War” and the lives of several brave Marines who lived it firsthand, Larry Henry quotes the following: “Ladies and gentlemen, our time has come. We must seize the reigns of power. Get involved in politics, join your hometown civic organizations, school boards, newspapers, city planning. Work your way up the political ladder. Patience and hard work, that’s what it takes. And a sincere desire for government expansion. Through government we can control every aspect of the American way of life, our economy, banking, Wall Street. There will be no more opposition from the military industrial complex. Those people will be working for us.” (“Plato’s Cave,” Page 12)
The afore-referenced quote was by a Harvard professor speaking at a 1968 anti-war demonstration. And that, my friends, is exactly where we are today – but it didn’t happen overnight. Their movement didn’t start in just the last few years. It started to take root at the beginning of the 20th century. Those advancing said movement have just become more emboldened in recent years.
Communists have long understood what most of America was blind to, i.e., that as Eugene Debs said in 1900, “Promising indeed, [was] the outlook for Socialism in the United States. The very contemplation of the prospect is a wellspring of inspiration.” Lenin saw it when he opined that blacks were a “revolutionary class of people” and ripe for communism. Their infiltration started with Nazi sympathizers editorializing for the New York Times. It started, as I’ve previously chronicled, with the NAACP (“How Communists co-opted black America”). It started with the protesters during World War I. It started with Bayard Rustin, the homosexual Communist who influenced the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and who insidiously laid the groundwork for Dr. Martin Luther King’s efforts to be corrupted.
The communist takeover entrenched itself in the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), the American Federation of Labor (AFL), the Amalgamated Clothing Workers and other unions – most notably, the teachers’ unions. The nefarious movement seized credibility as Walter Cronkite and other ministers of agitprop fed lies and propaganda, night after night, to an unsuspecting public.
But nowhere was the marriage of agitprop and socialist alchemy more explicit than in the higher education system. This isn’t ipse dixit – it’s verifiable fact. William F. Buckley, Jr. said: It’s on college campuses “that we see how a number of energetic social innovators, plugging their grand designs, succeeded over the years in capturing the liberal intellectual imagination. And since ideas rule the world, the ideologues, having won over the intellectual class, simply walked in and started to run things. Run just about everything. There never was an age of conformity quite like this one, or a camaraderie quite like the Liberals.”
The domestic terrorists of the ’60s – those who were rioting in our streets and taking university buildings hostage – were not bums from the gutter. They were from the most elite Ivy League schools, and they were from those schools when it took personal wealth to attend them.
Nikita Khrushchev famously said that Communists would bury America, and do it without firing a shot. But he said something else that should have stirred more concern. He said: “Do you think when two representatives holding diametrically opposing views get together and shake hands, the contradictions between our systems will simply melt away? What kind of daydream is that?”
Daydream indeed, but that is exactly what many in the conservative movement expect will happen. They expect reason and rationale to overcome socialism, but it will not. Socialists have visceral hatred for conservative opinions, and they especially detest those of us who are unyielding in our condemnation of their lies. We must be aggressively relentless in our presentation of truth, if we are to overcome the darkness of the socialism of Obama, et al., that threatens to devour us.
As Buckley said, “I mean to live my life an obedient man, but obedient to God, subservient to the wisdom of my ancestors – never to the authority or political truths arrived at yesterday at the voting booth.”

Very well put, sir. For years I have been telling people that there are 2 major parties in America that form a duopoly. One is liberal and the other is Marxist and you have explained the problem eloquently. To those who insist that the Republican Party has ANY interest in the salvation of America or our Constitution I point out the traitor John McCain’s Constitution-killing NDAA, his many pushes for amnesty for illegal aliens and many other arrocities. If Osama Barak is a worst president than McCain would have been, it isn’t by much!
I’d love to get all your articles sent to me but not being particularly computer literate, I see no way to arrange that. Can you help?

Michael,
Beautifully done! This needs to be read by every Republican and Conservative (two very different things for the most part) in America! If John Boehner isn’t the poster child for cowardice and compromise, then he is surely the epitome of cluelessness. I actually hope he doesn’t read this (not too concerned that he will) because I truly mean him no harm as a person. I simply believe that at this point, he and his party are genetically indisposed to ANY degree of bold change and a RETURN to the Constitution. It is nowhere to be found on the radar of their consciousness! They can never lead us back to a place which they are entirely incapable of comprehending. Isn’t going to happen. We are in the Second American Revolution, and it will not be won by business as usual. Nor will it be one through the corrupt and decayed institutes of the past. The time is not yet, but will soon be at hand.
Tom Ballantyne – Author of Uncommon Sense…Apparently! and Oh Really, O’Reilly!
Make that “nor will it be WON through the corrupt and decaying INSTITUTIONS of the past.”

Make that Mychal as well. Growing late…and tired, apparently!
tom ballantyne: join the they’ve spelled my name wrong club…
tom ballantyne: you’re having a rough time…hahaha…don’t worry about it…
tom ballantyne: actually the hill reads my work…
Mychal, I really like your rant! We have known for some time that communism has infiltrated the threads of American Colleges. It is agreeable that our elected officials do come from the same type of elite learning institutions and what more can we expect? They differ only in how they want their meals prepared and to what degree they can ‘change’ America. They have sucked on peanuts, Texas steak, Alabama oysters, earthworms and Lies. I can promise you that if you send your kids off to elite liberal colleges, you won’t know them in four years…unless you have been brainwashed the same. Benjamin Franklin: “Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of ‘Masters.’ “
marilyn: well said…
While reading your op-ed, I received a call from the NRC asking for money. Unfortunately, the young man on the other end of the phone was not prepared to answer my questions even stating that he was “in training” and did not have an answer. I stated to him that we don’t need more communists elected into our government, we need true Christian Conservatives and the Romney was not of that breed. Our country was founded on Judeo-Christian principals, not mormonism or communism. I can’t contribute to the Republican Presidential cause if Romeny is their nominee, he is not mine, he is part of the progressive right which bears the same signatures as the progressive left. The young man on the phone was being brain washed by his handlers. Hopefully my comments to him will cause him to think.
roy: your comments may not may him think specifically…but if/when he passes the message on…if enough people share similar thoughts they’ll get the message that they’re in trouble…
You are absolutely correct. The NRC continues to sell us conservatives down the river. Mr Romney seemd to have unlimited resources to spend on his perpetual campaign and vilifying other candidates. I’ll not give the NRC a dime, nor will I have another McCain shoved down my throat. Looking at thr “Republican leadership” there is no doubt that they are for the most part ALL cut from the same cloth. How would we have such spinless whiners such as Boehmer and McConnell? The cancer is far advanced, we must either cut it out or die!
darlene: I don’t care what they say or what scare tactics they use…I’m not voting for romney should he get nomination…I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…replacing obama w/ him would be like replacing hitler w/ mussolini…why would I trade bad for almost just as bad…he is singing a different song now…but he supported the same things obama does when he was governor…now he pretends to be something he isn’t…if he was a conservative wouldn’t have had to reinvent himself…
There appear to be a few common ‘beliefs’ that all go hand-in-hand with the segment of our society that gets further and further away from a God Consciousness, and a God-Mandated quality of living. One of the most prevalent of those ‘beliefs’ is that everyone is entitled to have all they need or want, and not to have to produce it from their own sweat equity. That, alone, is the most exploitable facet of the ever-growing ‘give it to me’ crowd, and that is the primary target of the Socialist/Communist proponents that know the best way to get a deadbeat to give up all of his liberty is by offering him a free lunch. Almost all of the ills of our society can be brought under the focal heading of “wanting something for nothing”. The most erroneous concept of Communism is that it is a “political agenda”. It absolutely is not! Communism is a religion that dopes the ‘gimme, gimme’ mentality into gradually accepting free handouts from the ‘Controllers’(guv’mint) in exchange for the ‘Controllers’ having all control, and final say-so. Communism was not brought to this country by manipulators from abroad. The criminal banking elite of London, New York and Paris, etc., exported communism to more exploitable arenas, and when the value of the agenda had been proven, they are now turning it upon those of us who think we are immune from its effects.
The most effective use of the ‘communism religion’ is upon those who have the most to provide to the ‘Controllers’; and that is our very corrupt band of ‘elected’ representatives. Everyone of them has, to a degree of certainty, been purchased by the ‘Controllers’ (criminal banking cabal). There is no other answer for the decline of our Republic. All of the Framers of this Democratic Republic warned us that the only real threat to this form of Liberty Government was the financial corruption of the wealthy bribing and stealing all control. That is happening this very minute, while we all watch and wring our hands, and pine about what to do about the decline of our culture. This, also, God warned us about in the Scripture. Over, and over, and over again.
Democrats can be had for a price. But not for less price than a Republican. Because they are the same, they cost the same. In another world, and another time, they would have been charged with treason, and executed. And rightly so. Oh, for a return to better times.
Shalom, Y’all. And I really do mean Shalom! For Shalom means much more than just ‘peace’.
caveman: as an addendum to what you said…I reported two yrs ago last november that boehner and cantor et al were not going to repeal obamacare…I was criticized even though I had solid information that I based that column on…a year later last spring it comes out that the repubs weren’t going to fight to repeal obamacare…today it is the attorney generals from the states who are carrying the water to repeal the bill…my point being…we’re not just fighting liberals we’re fighting rinos as well…
I have never identified myself with either party, Dem or GOP preferring to vote the candidate not a party. Now we find ourselves facing another presidential election & we have Obama, Romney & Santorum, all 3 pups from the same litter. All want power & control over “we the people”! I want no part of any of their type of Government. I want the Gov restored to the place where it serves us not the other way around. There is one person who, while not perfect, seems to be offering that, Ron Paul. The things he says make sense, he has actually put out details of how he will cut spending without using Washingtons “fuzzy math”. I hear people say they’re afraid of his foreign policy..why? We did just fine with that same policy of minding our own business for a long, long time. I hear some say he’s weak on defense, that it’s a dangerous world but he’s strong on actual defense & down on unnecessary spending (the Military Complex ‘ol Ike warned us about!)But the thing that really made me a believer is that he’s HONEST! He won’t even meet with professional Lobbist unlike the others in Gov who have a waiting room full of them. The MSM has gone out of their way to discredit/ignor him & that alone tells you he’s different & we need “different” now more then ever. He’s the only one who will repeal the Patriot Act, NDAA & the Executive orders that have taken away our Rights & Liberty. Not one of the other candidates have even condemed them & have even said they approved of the NDAA, a law that lets the President kill an American Citizen he deems to be “Belligerent or a Threat”!
I just recently became aware of Mychal Massie & his “Daily Rant” & really enjoy reading the common sense he writes. Keep it up Mr Massie!
n holiway: I will never vote for a democrat…and I’m support Santorum…
The nightmare has become reality.
bill sr: are you sure its not the other way around…i.e. the reality has become a nightmare…lol…
