DKW 86 7,437 Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 Wallaceite: N, can be used as an adverb. Wallace was a leading American Progeressive in the late 40s. He is given credit for coining the Blame America First, Blame America No Matter What, ideology that now permeates much of the Democratic Leadership. It is this trait, Wallaceitism that drives many voters away from the Democratic Party. Yet, it is highly evered trait in upper party echelons. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/...rrative_th.html June 04, 2006 Liberals Need New Narrative That Takes Terrorism Seriously By John Leo Peter Beinart thinks the left needs more anti-totalitarian liberals like Harry Truman and Scoop Jackson , and fewer anti-imperialist liberals (think moveon.org, Michael Moore and George Soros ) who can't seem to take terrorism and the jihadist threat seriously. "The Good Fight," Beinart's new book, is a history of liberalism for his fellow liberals, and an insightful elaboration of arguments he made as editor of The New Republic. Henry Wallace, he believes, is the model for today's blame-America, soft-on-totalitarianism left that has cost the Democrats so dearly at the polls. When communists pushed Czech foreign minister Jan Masaryk out of a window in 1948, Wallace, America's leading progressive, thought it was America's fault. He said: "The Czechoslovakia story will repeat itself so long as our gun and dollar policies ... are continued." The modern Wallaceites feel the same way about jihadists. Moveon.org said: "The U.S. has become adept at creating monsters. Osama bin Laden is only the latest in a long line." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
