Sandy and Christie Screwed Romney; May Be Time to Write-Off America

[Simfan34]

Clever inversion, there.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Unfortunately, Politico is completely right. I do think a Communist threat is alive and well. It is pervasive, not only in academia, but the business world, in politics, in the military. I would not be surprised if the whole scandal with Gen. Petraeus is the official coverup of a communist power play.

Believe it or not, this country has been overrun by Communists, Socialists, and Anarchists, but this time they've truly inflitrated the highest levels of academia and government. One should only look here from my view point in the Kremlin on the Hudson, and see the Communism is truly rampant amongst the student body and the faculty, that I would say some two thirds of my peers adhere to either Communism, Socialism, or Anarchism. The economics department is perhaps the only bulwark of common sense. I would not be surprised, ludicrous as it sounds, that the large amount of Ivy Leaguers in the business world today are in fact a mass infiltration, a third column designed to collectivize and overthrow it once the signal for Revolution is given. It is a long time coming, let us not forget that the red flag itself flew over Morningside Heights in 1967. Where did these radicals go? Let us also not forget that our very Attorney General, Eric Holder, was one of the hostage takers in 1967!!

Let us not underestimate the detrimental value of the defeatists and the cosmopolitans, those who wish to see the acendance of Socialistic states like China and Russia, people, again who seem perfectly normal and esteemed, like Fareed Zakaria the plagiarist and Thomas Friedman, who preach that we should just live with the rise of China. These people have infltrated our society and esteemed institutions like the Council on Foreign Relations. I have been there! I have seen those defeatist Communists! So sadly the threat is very real, and omnipresent in all sectors in our society. We need a national reaction to flush them out. We should be greatful to Poltico for speaking out.

Yes, we need a national enema. Eventually the next Ronald Reagan will appear to rid us of those who seek to destroy America. There will be hell to pay.

Politico, I don't appreciate how you obviously believe this tripe with all your heart. I don't like that about you.

I am not interested in coddling communists. There is no shortage of communists in America, regardless of whether many communists self-identify. Simfan knows it, I know it, you know it, and everybody else knows it. It is time to start discussing what is really happening in America, particularly in the hallowed halls of educational establishments across the country. Tens of millions of minds have been destroyed by the work of these communists, and the nation will not survive if we do not change course...

Really? My mind's actually a lot stronger after exposure to Marx than it was before, although I was also exposed to large doses of Christian and Buddhist theology starting at more or less the same time. It's a good mix, and certainly a more robust and instinctually compassionate set of thoughts than the offerings of such mediocre souls (if talented minds) as Mises or Hayek.

And, well, there are communists and then there are communists, but you wouldn't know anything about that.

Clever inversion, there.

Thank you.

The days of differentiating are over.

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

Good to know, Senator McCarthy.

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

Communist? Jesus, people have a hard enough time understanding socialism... you have NO IDEA what you're talking about.

I assume you've come back for attention, and while I'm giving it to you... this is where it ends.

I can't think of any reason why that should be the case.

Accommodationist seventies Eurocommunists or Marxist historians whose perception of the world currently around them is mostly theoretical should obviously not be as objectionable as brutal Stalinist dictators, even to people who consider the whole lot objectionable on general principle.

Marxist history is not the same as actually being a communist (and most such historians would not consider themselves communists, only interested in the history and historical significance of class dynamics). Indeed, you could be the most laissez-faire 1920s liberal and still a Marxist historian.

But certainly many communists are not the unpleasant Stalinist sort, and most present-day communists in democracies have decent, if sometimes misguided, views about society and politics.

The over-dramatic title of this thread is still terrific.

The OP made me lol so many times.

You labor under the illusion that anyone who does not want to live under the Marxist stereotype of capitalism on behalf of rapacious, selfish elites is a Communist.

The best way in which to stop Communism is to ensure that the common man has a stake in the system through fair wages, competitive prices, and consumer choice. For a full understanding of the Cold War, university students need to understand the appeal that Marxism has and under what circumstances.
