Kultursmog...

By Bob Tyrrell

"Now the mayor was manifesting the liberals' time-honored suspicion of his fellow Americans. Those of us who have studied the liberals' bugaboos as they pollute our political culture (we call the phenomenon Kultursmog ) are familiar with this idiocy. We saw it during the Cold War, when suspicion of communist infiltration of government was described by many liberals as a senseless "Red Scare." With the release of the Venona files and of research from the KGB's archives, we now know many of the accused Reds were in fact communist spies. We also saw the liberals' suspicion of ordinary Americans — or at least conservative Americans — when their first suspects after a communist assassinated President John F. Kennedy were Dallas conservatives unnamed. Now the mayor's first suspects upon the discovery of a bomb in Times Square are opponents of the health care monstrosity."
