Maybe I was wrong

when I said "terrorism is the new communism." It appears to be a supplement, not a replacement. Yelladog and I had an exchange this morning about this list--Horowitz's enemies of the state yearbook site (via Michael Bérubé). The whole site is fairly horrifying to me. Here is Horowitz's explanation:
The database provides a complete guide to all the principal groups responsible for organizing the national protests against the war, their leaders, their core agendas and beliefs. . . . While the database cannot account for the motivations and beliefs of all the individuals who participated in these protests or who came in an unorganized fashion to oppose the war, it . . . shows that without exception the agendas of these groups and the individuals who ran them were anti-corporate and socialist (often Marxist-Leninist), rather than pacifists and non-violent or merely liberal, as described in the general media.
Anyway, if you're feeling too complacent today, have a look around. Guaranteed to get the blood flowing.

When Yella began formulating his own list, I realized I'd probably need to make a trip to Georgia so that my virtual comrades can give me target practice lessons. Y's response: "Any Jew who doesn't own a gun is living in denial of history." (Did I get that right?). Never forget . . .

and keep your powder dry.
