One money quote:
Horowitz justifies police state methods
and the virtual outlawing of the
Communist Party on the grounds that its
members were engaged in "conspiratorial
activities" and that it was therefore
necessary to "surveil them." Like so
many of those who have made the
odyssey from left to right, Horowitz has
merely changed the color of his flag,
while retaining the statist core of his beliefs.
At a time when it is the right that is
under attack from government agencies,
and when the threat of government
surveillance is quite real in an atmosphere
of anti-"extremist" hysteria, how
long before Horowitz is calling for the
same methods to be used against his enemies
on the right?
