bripat9643,
Muhammed and
Pete7469 are by no means Conservative anomalies. U.S. Republican (and many Democratic Party Cold Warriors too) connived with and supported Pinochet’s brutal coup and long-running dictatorship. What is new is that now voices are emerging among populist U.S. right-wing authoritarians to bring such dictatorial “anti-communism” to the U.S.
Of course these three are weak-minded and utterly deluded nobodies. Whether similar voices will one day be heard
in the halls of the Pentagon itself is a more troubling question. The U.S. may be acting as a Banana Republic at the moment. It’s people may be almost as deluded as those in an Orwellian state. But in my opinion the army of our Republic is still far from ready to take measures like those our government certainly encouraged Pinochet to take in Chile.
