Subject: RE: BS: shooting in DC? - U.S. Holocaust Museum
I've made my views on the "gun rights" situation clear before. I won't belabor that.
But I'd just like to put in a word on behalf of accurate history. Huey Long a "Righty"? Only if you want to also include Lenin, Stalin and Mao in that category also. He gathered power to himself, fine. But in the 30's he was accused of being a Communist. Wrote "Every Man A King". One of the original "Power to the People" types--though he felt the power had to flow through him, partly in response to tough corporate opposition. FDR thought of Long as the threat on the Left.
