The Self-Referential Defense

The most dangerous mass movement in American history?!!? LOL and ROTFL! Putting aside for the moment the argument about what the movement is dangerous to, has this guy EVER read ANY American history? How about slavery? Dred Scott and his peers would doubtless rate that at #1. How about American independence, which the British refer to as the American Rebellion? How about Manifest Destiny? Native Americans would certainly consider that movement more dangerous, at least to them. Can he possibly have never heard of the Confederacy? Right or wrong, it started a war that resulted in 620,000 Americans dead. (Or blame the Abolitionists if you want. Either way, there were millions of casualties.) Or how about "The Mother of All Dangerous Mass Movements in American History," namely the Depression-Era Pacifist/Isolationist movement that delayed U.S. involvement in WWII? It very nearly allowed the Axis powers to win world domination; it cost millions of soldiers' lives (not to mention millions of Soviet civilians); and it sealed the fate of the 10 to 20 million Holocaust victims. Lastly, I won't even mention the "Sexual Revolution" and its attendant horrors: rampant divorce, widespread STDs (including AIDS), and nearly 50 million abortions (in the U.S. alone). Nope, not gonna even mention it.
