A Pox on Both Your Houses

Dave at Oklahoma Lefty gets it right:

“Let’s establish a couple of things here…both the Left and the Right have a dirty and bloody past. This is a simple fact of history and it’s not worth either denying or trying to turn into a battle cry. Doing so is simplistic and ignorant. Sadly though, the polemics on both sides generally could care less about pesky little things like historical accuracy or holistic / big picture outlooks.

The simple fact of the matter is, that if either the Right or the Left were left unchecked and to their own devices, the result would be horrendous. Things like authoritarianism and totalitarianism couldn’t give two shits about Left and Right. All they care about is power. And if you think for a second that both the modern Right and the modern Left aren’t filled with people [having] authoritarian and totalitarian tendencies then you are just a blind fool.”
