At the Freedom Center's recent West Coast Retreat at the Terranea Resort in Rancho Palos Verdes, David Horowitz discussed his discovery, during the Vietnam War, of the hate and malice in the leftist movement - and how this led to the creation of the Freedom Center and its mission.
Horowitz: Peter [Collier] and I came out of the Left 35-40 years ago, and we launched, actually in June 1988, the Center.
Peter and I saw that the Left had set out, after the Chicago Convention of '68, in the course of the McGovern campaign, to infiltrate and take over the Democratic Party, and we saw that they were going to do that one day and were very advanced even in the '80s. So we made our mission to expose the Left.
The second idea we had was to talk to the Left and about it the way it talks about everybody else.
You know, I understand that, you know, politics is a sort of complex art, and particularly for Trump.
I've written a book, which I think is in all your bags, called, Dark Agenda: The War to Destroy Christian America, and, as an agnostic Jew and former radical, I have a kind of unique, I guess, view of it, as an outsider, but what struck me from the beginning of [reading] it, you know, this country was settled by - 98 percent of the settlers were Protestants, Protestant Christians.
I always said, you know, I feel somewhat guilty as a former radical coming to teach conservatives bad manners - - but I thought, you know, 10 percent would do it.
