"The Neo-Conservative Menace"

We say, let's take 'em down, all the way, whatever it takes!

The Progressive Daily Beacon: "The Neo-Conservative Menace": "Leo Strauss is the father of Neo-Conservative ideology and chief among his many stygian theories, was the idea that only through constant and everlasting struggle and conflict can common people be controlled. As a Jew who lived through Hitler's time, Strauss' philosophy was largely influenced by the holocaust.

In a nutshell, Strauss viewed Hitler's rise as not having resulted from Germany's post-WWI socio-economic predicament -- the view held by most experts and historians -- but rather as the result of Europe's evolution towards liberalized labor laws, social programs, and the ignorant masses being allowed to elect leaders of their choosing. Strauss believed liberal government policies were providing the masses with rights, power, and leisure that their simple minds neither deserved, nor were capable of responsibly wielding. Invariably, according to Strauss and Neo-Cons, the devolved masses give rise to Hitler-like evil.
