It is statements such as these that explain why all of the totalitarians in our midst, i.e., those who wish to control our every behavior through government, have such a wildly celebratory attitude toward the Spielberg Lincoln movie. Left-wing propagandists like Doris Kearns-Goodwin, author of hagiographies of Lyndon Johnson, the Kennedys, and Lincoln, and right-wing propagandists like David Brooks and his fellow neocons, are all part of a phony “team of rivals” who pose as political competitors. In reality, they all are part of an establishment cabal that views those of us who are “besotted” with ideas about liberty and freedom as their true enemies and roadblocks to their own personal wealth and glory disguised by the language of “national greatness” and mythical and false accounts of American history.
