The American Left Goes Increasingly Stalinist

HEADLINES FROM 1968-2019 INCLUSIVE:

The American Left Goes Increasingly Stalinist.
This clandestine approach to—or should we say sabotage of—the foundations of American life and politics didn’t begin with Trump. It began long ago, even before the Roosevelt years, and has ebbed and flowed since. This recent rise can be dated from 1991 when then Vermont congressman, now presidential candidate, Bernie Sanders helped found the Congressional Progressive Caucus along with Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) and a few others. Sanders, at that point, was just back from spending his honeymoon in the Soviet Union.
Joining shortly thereafter was New York congressman Jerrold Nadler, now leading the impeachment chorus against Trump. Sanders, as almost everyone knows, was an avowed socialist, but so also, although it’s lesser known, was Nadler. The New York congressman was a member of several socialist organizations and was the one who convinced President Bill Clinton to commute—during his last days in office—Susan Rosenberg’s sentence.
In 1981, Rosenberg allegedly drove a getaway car for the left-wing terror groups the “Weather Underground” and “Black Liberation Army” after they had robbed a Brink’s truck, killing two policemen and a security guard in the process. Rosenberg got away, but they caught her three years later, this time unloading 740 pounds of explosives and an arsenal of weapons from a car. But 16 years later she had reformed enough for her to go free, according to Nadler.
Of course, there’s a bit of guilt-by-association here but, considering the endless impeachment accusations toward Trump by Nadler and others for nothing even approaching “high crimes and misdemeanors,” assuming they’re real at all, this use of Stalinist tactics must be exposed and ended.
