The French Revolution: Life, Liberty, Fraternity, or Death - Satanic Politics and God's Wrath Upon Nations That Turn Upon Him, by Francis Nigel Lee

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.'"

The following quotes are from Ann Coulter's book, Treason: Liberal Treachery from the Cold War to the War on Terrorism

Here is what Ann Coulter has to say about the Vietnam War:

"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."

And Adrian Havill reveals that Bob Woodwarde may have been a CIA agent working to take down President Richard Nixon! Here is a quote from Deep Truth: The Lives of Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein):

  "Whenever you run a clandestine operation, you run two things at the same time: you prepare the team for the hit, and you keep it so small there's nobody to spread it all around. And across the hall is a big staff working on what we call special plans. They're preparing the cover story. The cover story is what they want people to believe and to talk about, and to argue about." - From a 1992 speech by Col. Fletcher Prouty, former chief of special operations, Joint Chief of Staff (as quoted in Deep Truth: The Lives of Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein)

Note: Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein were the journalists who helped bring about the resignation of President Richard Nixon. Chuck Colson served as Special Counsel to President Nixon from 1969 to 1973 and served 7 months in a federal prison for his part in the Watergate scandal.
