About This Quote
The greatest threat to peace is the barrage of rightist propaganda portraying war as decent, honorable, and patriotic. "Right-wingers" (which includes conservatives and libertarians) often portray war and violence as a positive thing and then follow that up with a chorus of "patriotic" cheers. This is perhaps their most effective method of getting people's support, since it appeals to the emotions of many who live in fear of being labeled unpatriotic.
