This is another interesting article from the current issue of Commentary.
Since we lived through it, at least I did, we haven't realized that not only
do the Conservatives of today hark back to the Liberals of 40 & 50 years
ago, but the Liberals of that time have morphed into something resembling
the Conservatives of those days - especially the interest in Conspiracy
Theories. When I first went to work for Douglas in 1959, one of my most
memorable experiences was arguing with a member of the John Birch Society
who regaled me with conspiracy theories and almost turned me in as a
security risk for not accepting them. My contempt for conspiracy theories
arose during that period. But now it is the Left who is enamored of
Conspiracies. James Piereson discusses this interest shift.
