The Cost of Progress

http://handleshaus.wordpress.com/2013/12/26/bullied-and-badgered-pressured-and-purged/#comment-4454

"Handle" is one of the active neo-reactionaries, well-versed in our political realities, a frequent commenter on some of the main right-thinking blogs. He conceived the excellent idea of documenting the course of the Leftist purges in the Western world. The chronological presentation of so many examples, high and low, may produce a more comprehensive understanding of the pace and scope of this phenomenon. The early years are thinly covered here, starting with Birch Society co-founder Revilo Oliver, with whom the craven Buckley broke ties in the late 50s--and running through, to note my sense of the highlights, Enoch Powell, Arthur Jensen, Richard Herrnstein, Pat Buchanan, Joe Sobran, Peter Brimelow, Larry Summers, Larry Auster, James Watson, Lou Dobbs, John Derbyshire, Ron Unz, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Charles Murray, Donald Sterling, Paul Weston, Condoleeza Rice. But have these sacrifices done more than whet the appetite of this amorphous alliance or merely prompted further predations?
