Avedon Carol: Stops on the infobahn

The other day I talked about the times the "greatest generation" lived through and mentioned that FDR's policies took the air out of the fervor for a communist revolution in the US. Taking off from a right-wingers attack on Paul Krugman's latest column addressing the class war being waged by the economic elite against the rest of us, Barbara O'Brien at The Mahablog (with the help of Abe Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt) makes a similar point.

Do the rapturists have the launch codes?
