View From The Porch: It means "Someone I Think Is Icky."

It means "Someone I Think Is Icky."

“Right Wing” is rapidly replacing “Neocon” (which replaced “Reactionary” which replaced “Fascist”) as the favorite vague pejorative of hippies. Make the appropriate notations in your Berlitz.

Of course, finding that out would actually require one to read Mussolini's 'Manifesto of the Fascist Struggle', and that would cut into tv time...not to mention expose the left for what they are.

**And how exactly did the left convince people they'd never do any physical harm to anyone, when one can find things easily enough like pictures of Hillary Clinton hero and noted eugenicist Margaret Sanger hanging out with the KKK? Oh, right, the press...; 9:00 AM, June 17, 2009

Conservatives are now apparently those folks who would resist being forcibly inducted into the Army of the Greater Good for All.

Did I miss anything there?

Thinking Bakunin didn't get the half of it. He should be alive today. In fact: "Bakunin Lives!"
