| 674850c | I always turn to the sports page first, which records people's accomplishments. The front page has nothing but man's failures. | Max Allan Collins | ||
| 7d12579 | Equally astonishing, the Democrats have never admitted their racist history, never taken responsibility for what they did, never apologized for it, never paid one penny of restitution for their crimes. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 524e871 | What intrigued me most was how one can get away with such a big lie. The answer is you have to dominate all the large megaphones of the culture, from academia to the movies to the major media. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| fb429d4 | Early Near Eastern villages domesticated plants and animals. Uruk urban institutions, in turn, domesticated humans. | James C. Scott | ||
| 8ca8533 | The kind of knowledge required in such endeavors is not deductive knowledge from first principles but rather what Greeks of the classical period called metis, a concept to which we shall return. Usually translated, inadequately, as "cunning," metis is better understood as the kind of knowledge that can be acquired only by long practice at similar but rarely identical tasks, which requires constant adaptation to changing circumstances." | James C. Scott | ||
| bca1c1f | Telling a farmer only that he is leasing twenty acres of land is about as helpful as telling a scholar that he has bought six kilograms of books. | James C. Scott | ||
| cad7f51 | One of the major purposes of state simplifications, collectivization, assembly lines, plantations, and planned communities alike is to strip down reality to the bare bones so that the rules will in fact explain more of the situation and provide a better guide to behavior. To the extent that this simplification can be imposed, those who make the rules can actually supply crucial guidance and instruction. This, at any rate, is what I take to .. | James C. Scott | ||
| b2cfd05 | Granted, the Scott Paper story is one of the more dramatic in our study, but it's not an isolated case. In over two thirds of the comparison cases, we noted the presence of a gargantuan personal ego that contributed to the demise or continued mediocrity of the company.33 | James C. Collins | ||

| 3490d64 | Holston asked a class of nine-year-old children, most of whom lived in superquadra, to draw a picture of "home." Not one drew an apartment building of any kind. All drew, instead, a traditional freestanding house with windows, a central door, and a pitched roof." | James C. Scott | ||
| c736997 | Ethics is knowing the difference between what you have the right to do and what is the right thing to do." Potter Stewart, Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court, 1958-1981. Section 5, Grave 40-2, Arlington National Cemetery." | Max Allan Collins | ||

| 844ee5f | Here is Democrat Robert Byrd, "conscience of the Senate," lionized by Obama, Hillary, and Bill when he died in 2010, speaking during the war about his reluctance to fight in a racially integrated military: "I am loyal to my country and know but reverence to her flag BUT I shall never submit to fight beneath that banner with a negro by my side. Rather I should die a thousand times, and see this old glory trampled in the dirt never to rise ag.. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| b3609d3 | And here are simply the titles of a few books published by progressive Democrats in the early twentieth century: Charles Carroll's The Negro a Beast (1900), Robert Shufeldt's The Negro: A Menace to American Civilization (1907), Charles McCord's The American Negro as a Dependent, Defective and Delinquent (1914), and again Shufeldt's America's Greatest Problem: The Negro (1915). | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 1cdc11e | Consider the proof that progressives typically give to prove Thomas Jefferson's racism. Here is the smoking gun from Jefferson's Notes on the State of Virginia: "I advance it therefore as a suspicion only that the blacks, whether originally a distinct race, or made distinct by time and circumstance, are inferior to the whites in the endowments of body and mind."22" | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| f3145c8 | Hundreds of leading socialists, initially in Italy but subsequently in Germany, France, and other countries, also became fascists. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| d106a41 | In fact, I will go further to say that all the leading figures in the founding of fascism were men of the Left. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 32effca | The first fascists," Anthony James Gregor tells us, "were almost all Marxists." | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| db86b7e | Progressivism simply cannot account for the easy traffic from socialism to fascism. Consequently, progressives typically maintain complete silence about this whole historical relationship which is deeply embarrassing to them. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| e79eb91 | Yet while lying about the Jews and plotting their destruction, Hitler accuses the Jews of lying and of plotting the destruction of Germany. Hitler employs the big lie even as he disavows its use. He portrays himself as a truth-teller and attributes lying to those he is lying about--the Jews. Could there be a more pathological case of transference, and specifically, of blaming the victim? | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 5604529 | The big lie is now back, and this time it is about the role of fascism and Nazism in American politics. The political Left--backed by the mainstream of the Democratic Party--insists that Donald Trump is an American version of Hitler or Mussolini. The GOP, they say, is the new incarnation of the Nazi Party. These charges become the basis and rationalization for seeking to destroy Trump and his allies by any means necessary. The "fascism card.. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 23a8ac0 | In this book, I turn the tables on the Democratic Left and show that they--not Trump--are the real fascists. They are the ones who use Nazi bullying and intimidation tactics and subscribe to a full-blown fascist ideology. The charges that they make against Trump and the GOP are actually applicable to them. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| c3ee450 | With this cultural arsenal at their disposal, big liars can spin out falsehoods with the confidence that no one else has a large enough megaphone to challenge them. They can have their lies taught in classrooms, made into movies and TV shows, and reported in the everyday media as the unvarnished truth. This is how big lies come to be widely believed, sometimes even by the people who are being lied about. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| fb59516 | Hillary's America was met with outrage on the Left, but no one could rebut a single fact in the book or movie. Even my most incriminating allegations proved invulnerable. I noted that, in 1860, the year before the Civil War, no Republican owned a slave; all the four million slaves at the time were owned by Democrats. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| ed8562d | My objective, now as before, is to do to the new Nazi paradigm what my previous book did to the old race narrative, namely, blow it out of the water. Here I refute their bogus narrative, expose their big lie, and pin the Nazi tail precisely where it belongs--on the Democratic donkey. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 142e306 | Later a group called Project Veritas released videotaped evidence that the Hillary campaign and leftist groups had paid protesters to provoke violence at Trump rallies. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| a84cc7e | This is significant because every segregation law in the South was passed by a Democratic legislature, signed into power by a Democratic governor, and enforced by Democratic sheriffs and Democratic city and state officials. Most anti-miscegenation laws were passed in Democratic states. Progressives passed the racist Immigration Law of 1924 and celebrated it as a victory of progressive science and progressive planning. The Ku Klux Klan was a.. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 7c64b34 | In this chapter I will trace the development of fascism by showing precisely how it grew out of a doctrinal division within the community of Marxian socialists. In short, I will prove that fascism is exclusively a product of the Left. This is not a case of leftists who moved right. On the contrary, the fascists were on the left end of the socialist movement. They saw themselves not as jettisoning Marxism but as saving it from obsolescence. .. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 8b39b9f | Who can deny that blacks are still living with the effects of what the Democrats did to them? Today blacks have an illegitimacy rate approaching 80 percent. I am not saying it's all due to slavery, but who can say that it's not partly due to the legacy of slavery? Black crime rates are vastly higher, with high rates of black-on-black homicide. Who can say that this is not at least partly the consequence of the Democratic planters' devaluati.. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 2d3ced2 | Practitioners of the big lie, like Whitman and Nelson, have a second objective. Incredibly, this is the objective of turning the villains of their story into its heroes. By clearing the Democrats and the progressives of blame, they intend to pave the way for these same Democrats to offer themselves as the solution for racism. As the big lie unfolds, somehow the very people who have poisoned the water reappear dressed as the water commission.. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| dfb9efa | The problem began when the central prophecies of Marxism failed to occur. This created a massive crisis within the Left, and essentially Marxism split into two camps: the first became Leninism and Bolshevism, and the other became fascism and Nazism. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| a02be38 | In some ways the progressive Democrats are even closer to the German Nazis than to the Italian fascists. The Italian fascists, for example, were much less racist than the Democratic Party in the United States. There are no parallels for the costumed racial terrorism of the Democratic Party-backed Ku Klux Klan in Italy, although one can find such parallels in Nazi Germany. Democratic policies of white supremacy, racial segregation, and state.. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 3bbae61 | In the German camps and on the Democrat-run plantations, forced labor was employed with "human tools" solely with regard to productivity and with little if any regard for the lives of the workers who were, in both cases, considered inferior and even subhuman. The analogy between two of the worst compulsory confinement and forced labor systems in human history is not merely legitimate; it is overdue." | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 66bc9fd | Hitler, for instance, specifically said he intended to displace and exterminate the Russians, the Poles, and the Slavs in precisely the way Americans in the Jacksonian era had displaced and exterminated the native Indians. The Nazi Nuremberg Laws were directly modeled on the segregation and anti-miscegenation laws that had been implemented decades earlier in the Democratic South. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 7b23597 | In this case, the story that we had accepted, like suckers, was the idea that fascism and Nazism are inherently "right wing." | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 205ec32 | In my previous book and film, Hillary's America, I challenged another powerful leftist paradigm. This is the paradigm that the progressives and the Democrats are the party of emancipation, equality, and civil rights. I showed instead that they are the party of slavery and Indian removal, of segregation and Jim Crow, of racial terrorism and the Ku Klux Klan, and of opposition to the civil rights movement of the 1960s. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 68ca683 | My goal was to strip away the race card from the Democrats--a card they had been successfully playing against Republicans for a generation. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 258b283 | for work these days; nobody had been hired in janitorial | Max Allan Collins | ||
| a7050dd | Incredibly the Democrats had taken full credit for the civil rights movement, even though Republicans are the ones who got it passed, and even though the opposition to it came almost entirely from the Democratic Party. Democrats accused Republicans--the party of emancipation and opposition to segregation, bigotry, and white supremacy--of being the party of bigotry and white supremacy. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||
| 394dcce | Talk about transference. This was my introduction to the Left's political strategy of shifting the blame for racism onto the party that had historically opposed racism in all its forms. | Dinesh D'Souza |
