The French Revolution, by Dr. Peter Hammond


The following is a quote taken from Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left:

"...both the Wilson and the FDR administrations were descendants - albeit distant ones - of the first fascist movement: the French Revolution...It produced the first modern dictators, Robespierre and Napoleon, and worked on the premise that the nation had to be ruled by an enlightened avant-garde who would serve as the organic, authentic voice of the 'general will.'...Robespierre summed up the totalitarian logic of the Revolution: 'There are only two parties in France: the people and its enemies. We must exterminate those miserable villains who are eternally conspiring against the right of man...[W]e must exterminate our enemies.'"

Here is what Ann Coulter has to say about the Vietnam War (From her book, 
Treason: Liberal Treachery from the Cold War to the War on Terrorism):

"Vietnam is the Left's favorite war because America lost."

"Historical accounts of the Vietnam War are incomprehensible because liberals refuse to admit the failure of their national security strategy. The only important lesson from the Vietnam War is this: Democrats lose wars."

"In the great Democratic tradition of taking the nation to war without a plan to win, only the Democrats could have produced Vietnam."

"President Lyndon Johnson, who inherited the war when Kenedy was assassinated, viewed the Vietnam War as a method of proving the Democrats could be trusted with foreign policy, which they cannot."

"Nixon had been elected in part based on his promise to end the war honorably. He would have done so, too, but for Democrats in Congress,"

"A Republican President either wouldn't have started that war, or would have won it pretty fast."
