[Order Daniel Greenfield’s new book, Domestic Enemies: HERE.]
Editor’s note: Shillman Journalism Fellow Daniel Greenfield recently spoke to a gathering of David Horowitz Freedom Center members and supporters at the Four Seasons hotel about his new book ‘Domestic Enemies: The Founding Fathers’ Fight Against The Left‘.
Laying out what he calls the Left’s 200-year war on America, Greenfield described how the Left’s war on America’s constitutional freedoms began at the same time as the Constitution did.
“Is America doomed? So many people come up to me and ask, can we get past this?” the Shillman Fellow told audience members. “That is part of the reason why I wrote, ‘Domestic Enemies: The Founding Fathers’ Fight Against The Left’. This is not a historical trivia book, though there is plenty of history to be found there if you’re so inclined, this is a book about how we fought the Left from the very beginning.”
Greenfield described his goal of telling the story of the American Left from the very beginning. “Why does the Left want to be invisible? Because if they’re invisible, they can’t be identified. You can’t actually charge them with being the authors of our misfortunes. It’s why they keep changing their names. They’re progressives, socialists, liberals, leftists or more recently wokes. But who are they really?”
Today’s conservatives, he argued, could learn from the Father of our Country.
“George Washington, sick, ill, toward the end of his life, becomes the only president to command troops in the field when he rides out against a Democrat insurrection organized by allies of the French Revolution,” Greenfield described. “The Founding Fathers were not afraid to confront the Left. They were not afraid to fight for our country.”
Greenfield then went on to describe how the Democratic Societies created by radical agents of the French Revolution, and which Washington described as an enemy of the Constitution who sought to destroy it, then went on to give their name to what would become the Democratic Party.
“We have been fighting this for over 200 years and we are still here.”

The left don’t want a tiny slice of the World Pie they want the whole thing for themselves
Plato v2.0 says
No that is not the problem. The problem is that people who live their lives in the classroom and faculty lounges, have never done anything, built anything how can they be expected to make the pie bigger.
Republicans make a bigger pie so everyone gets more.
Democrats cut everything so everyone gets less EXCEPT THEM!!!
Allen Peterson says
Great video talk.
M. Stanton Evans put it best when he said that people should be conservative when they are young, then as they get older… they should become MORE conservative.
Scott Norris says
Indoctrination is a powerful tool and our Leftists have used it very well. They first gained control of the school system as this is where it all begins. Dewey. Read about him.
Plato v2.0 says
Jimmy Carter, Democrat, 1979 Education Department. NO CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY FOR THIS AT ALL!!!!
John says
The left hates the middle class, a staple of America. They much prefer to be the ruling class and us be the peons. Everything on their platform furthers that goal.
Michael Day says
Mr Green Field as a well read wordsmith

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN

PROBLEM
The ROOT of all EVILS IS THE
LIE of repeating a NONSENSE over and over

Kit_Jefferson says
According to Scripture Evil has been fighting Good even before the dawn of Humanity. and it will do so far into the future. The best we can hope for is for Good to attain a stalemate with Evil and hold it in equilibrium.
Daniel Lee says
“It’s why they keep changing their names. They’re progressives, socialists, liberals, leftists or more recently wokes. But who are they really?”
All names for followers of satan and include nazis and democrat party members.
Before the last presidential election an article was published with proofs the devil was biden’s power behind the throne Wisdomgoodlife.com
Amazing how so few on the good team still don’t know our enemy, and is why we lose over and over even when nominally in power.
Domenic Pepe says
I am absolutely positive that Daniel Greenfield knows what he is writing and talking about.
Thanks.

Leftists would rather rule over chaos and poverty than to serve in peace and prosperity.
