With Cries of 'Racist' and 'Nazi,' Democrats Betray Our History: Earle I Mack on the Hill

With Cries of ‘Racist’ and ‘Nazi,’ Democrats Betray Our History: Earle I Mack on the Hill

By Earle I. Mack The repeated accusations of racism from members of the Democratic Party have taken away from the impact and meaning of what it truly means to be racist. As a Jewish American and a proud moderate Republican, it is abhorrent for me to watch terms like “Gestapo” and “Nazi” thrown around as easily as “you’re wrong” or “I disagree.” It is illogical, unnecessary, and in its most…

Rise of the Moderate Democrat, Fall of the Moderate Republican: Earle I Mack on the Hill

By Earle I. Mack Right now, the far right and far left are badgering their political parties, tugging at the anchors of our two-party system and, sadly, the heart of our country. This is natural, it’s our political pendulum.
