[spinbadz own] Healthy cynicism: As to the third: Anyone who has open-mindedly read the analysis of so-called "McCarthyism" in Ann Coulter's "Treason" must wonder about the Hollywood and medialand assumption that the Senator Joe was the devil's spawn, that the Rosenberg's did not pass on core nuclear secrets to the Soviet Union, and that communist infiltration was not a serious issue.
[Libertarian / Conservative / "Promethean" Politics] A Tenured Radical And The "Single Agent Fallacy": After considering his statements that the victims of 9/11 were little "Eichmans" (a reference to an infamous bureaucrat in the Hitler regime during the holocaust), "working for the engine of capitalism," I wondered if it might be appropriate to consider Churchill himself a little BERIA (Stalin's head of the Soviet secret police) working for the engine of socialism.
[AND THEN...] Surprise!: As this suggests, the word "truth" itself had by then been redefined, the empirical method abandoned: "the truth" was now whatever we needed it to be, the confirmation of those propositions or policies in which we "believed in our hearts," or had "faith."

[Gopinsight.com] GOPInsight.com: Horowitz has lectured and written on the subject for several years with what he describes as "little impact." He says, "The only result of my reviewing these facts has been to inspire an attack on my integrity by the American Association of University Professors." The opposition doesn't seem to care that the very principles espoused are the ones first published in 1915 in the famous report, "The Principles of Tenure and Academic Freedom" which were immediately embraced by institutions of higher education all over the US.
