...That there's a contradiction in the beliefs of people like the Henry Jackson Democrats and neo-con Democrats during the Cold War? Jackson is one of my favorite Democrats, however I still believe there's a contradiction (to be explained below).

In my mind it doesn't make sense that the Cold War Democrats would support battling of communism abroad, but at the same time offer something somewhat close to it domestically. Your thoughts.



What was being offered isn't anything remotely close to Communism.   I know the Beck types try to make you think that anything to the left of the government offering a penny to the less fortunate is Communism, but its not.
