I Have a Name for it Today
It was an atmosphere of ugliness, of intimidation, of hostility, of vague constant threat, of irrationality, of the trashing of culture and intellectual ideals by vulgar violent activism. I hated it with a passion but I didn't have a name for it until much much later.
​
In present tense, I consider this a perfect description of the religious right in the US.

Libertarianism vs Militarism
As a registered Libertarian, all this left-right, left-right, left-right talk gives this veteran bad memories.
​
PC indeed. Is anyone in the US allowed to speak about politics outside of the democrat/republican or liberal/conservative box?

Re: Intellectual freedom meets resistance from lefties
Did you know that "progressive" was originally a euphemism dreamed up by American Communists to make their agendas palatable to Americans?
​
WOW, I didn't know Theodore Roosevelt was a communist. He ran on the Progressive Party ticket in 1912. Do you know the face of a known communist is on Mt. Rushmore?
