re: #109 neocon hippie

Jonah Goldberg makes a pretty good case that Father Charles Coughlin was a man of the left. Apparently he advocated for the typical social programs, and his complaint against FDR was that the New Deal was not going far enough. He was no libertarian free marketeer.

If you read up on Father Coughlin, it’s just not true that he was a socialist — he was a Bircher-style anti-communist. Again — this is just revisionism to try to put Father Coughlin on the “left.” It’s absurd.
