The only thing McCarthy did wrong was underestimate the power of the communists he was attempting to prosecute.

I believe @LordsFire has a point here. I know a lot of very radical, avowedly far-right Christians, and I've only seen one of them tell me that homosexuals deserve to be executed by the state. And he was pretty much talking about homosexuals who want to sexualize children. Pedorasts and child...

Perhaps this has to do with the fact that democratic liberalism and Soviet-style socialism have a lot more in common with each other than either has in common with Nazism. For more information on this, I'd check out The Demon in Democracy. It's a damn good read.

Actually, Stalin, Che Guevara, and Fidel Castro were anti-LGBT. As one Paul Gottfried put it, they were to the right of even the most extreme right Republicans on the gay question.

The idea that the Right was only Evangelicals implausible. It would be like saying the Left is only Marxists. While Marxist are a part of the Left, they aren’t the whole story. Party politics is necessarily a matter of coalition-building. Coalitions are necessarily made up of different...
