How the “Straussians” Confuse the U.S. Constitution with the Soviet Constitution

May 8, 2023

The high priest of the Straussian cult, the late Harry Jaffa, invented out of thin air the false notion that America was founded on the principle of “equality.” That’s true of the Soviet constitution but not the American constitution.  His fellow cultists have endlessly repeated this Big Lie while personally attacking anyone who disputes the words of the High Priest with facts and common sense.  That of course is what cults do — attack instead of reason and debate — because to them, all truth comes from the cult leader, whether it be Jaffa, Jim Jones, Lyndon LaRouche, or whomever.   The late Professor Mel Bradford exposed the Jaffa cult in his day but they persist in supporting American military aggression all over the globe in the name of pursuing “universal equality of human rights.”
