OT: The Cult of Communism Lives On

[Australian Communist] Eric Aarons said as much in his memoirs, What's Left? On page 118 he related how, in 1956, the party's leadership discussed what response it should take to Nikita Khrushchev's confirmation that Stalin was a mass murderer: "I made the point at the central committee meeting which decided the matter that our outlook was such that, had we been in power, we too could have executed people we considered to be objectively, even if not subjectively (that is, by intention), helping our enemies."

More honest than most of the American Left, anyway.

We have to pick our battles, VH. While all you say is true, the stars and bars isn't a symbol we need to be defending right now.

Updated contact info.

But probably burkhas, and red crescents on purses are o.k.

I'd love to get my hands on a granola-headed, city-slickin', UN-worshipper and make him "squeal like a pig."

Yeeeehhaaaaa!

The Moonbats Who Don't Want Terrorists to Be Spied On Blame Bush for NYT Reporter's Murder

And on topic, I think if you're an African-American, and your biggest worry is that someone, somewhere, is displaying the Confederate flag ... this must be a damned good time to be an African-American.

Whats next? Are they going to ban re-runs of "The Dukes of Hazzard" because the General Lee had a confederate flag painted in the roof?

Hush, you don't want to give them ideas...

So this is where you twinky boys hide out...

I'd love to get my hands on a granola-headed, city-slickin', UN-worshipper and make him "squeal like a pig."

1. Yeah... that figures, and
2. I doubt you'd do anything worth more than a laugh and a shrug...

And let me say that it surprises me not-at-all to find you defending the flag of a declared enemy of the United States, as well as the emblem adopted by certain domestic terror groups...

Why do you hate America?

I'd never looked close enough at the UN emblem before. North America is barely perceptable in that global projection. Europe, though still pretty small, is pretty near smack dab in the middle. Somebody tell me that was an accident, and I'll make 'em squeel like a pig.

It was absolutely not an accident. It was the result of a deliberative process when the U.N. was founded in 1945. Can anybody here guess where the founding of the U.N. actually happened? Hint: it's not New York City, the current site of the U.N. headquarters.

So, I'll tell you folks what... I'm your granola-headed, city-slickin', U.N.-supporter. You want to try to make me squeal like a pig? You're invited to try. Come down to United Nations Plaza tomorrow evening 7:00pm local time, and we'll talk about it. Post a follow up to this, so I know to expect you and how to identify you from about 300 meters away.

s9, you just squealed.

s9, you just squealed.

That's your crack back? No, really, that's it? What are you, in the fifth grade or something?

Outstanding take, Beavis...

Sorry, I just expected the level of game to be a little better in here. I mean, you invited us...

"Why do you hate America?"

No, after you, please.

Why do YOU hate America?

"Why do you hate America?"

No, after you, please.

Why do YOU hate America?

Sorry PeeWee, the "I know you are but what am I?" defense is not buying you anything.

You guys are openly pimping for the flag of a declared enemy of the United States and of at least one group designated by federal law enforcement as a Domestic Terror group.

For all that, I can only believe that you have a serious problem with the United States. I myself actually love my country, and served the U.S. in uniform. I can almost guarantee that makes me unique among the posters to this comments forum.

What a bunch pansy, candy-ass, slack-jawed, twinky-boy, chicken-hawks we have here. You write a post like this one, then you and your people can't even come correct and defend it.

Very disappointing...

Sorry, I done furgetted, I akshully liv in Kanada. We aint got noh millitaree and ur flag is commie red lik feedels

plez ignur evereething i just sed.

So you not only hate America, you despise American veterans. What a bunch of nancy boys. And instead of answering anything that was asked, you got so punked by the mere question that you run this kind of weakass pushback...

Pussies! It's actually a good thing none of you ever served in uniform... the Soviets would have won...

Get used to us, we're going to be here a while...

Tell me again, mojo...why doesn't anyone listen to the left in this country? Why can't you guys win an election here?

And if you "love" America (which you don't), then why would your allegiance be towards an ideology (liberalism) that despises the military? They spit on you guys when you come back from war, they openly cheer for military failure...but hey: They support the troops!

Then, people like you break out the discredited "chicken hawk" fallacy (shot to hell at this site numerous times). Why do you think that dope-smoking leftist unemployable miscreants WHO NEVER SERVED and speak out AGAINST the military are somehow more noble and more admirable than people who support the military but never served? Doesn't strike you as just a tad bit ludicrous?

A self-loathing soldier...if you really ARE or WERE a soldier...is just damned pathetic. I'm flushing you at this point, you sorry ass moonbat.

Let's see, 59 million people voted for John Kerry in 2004. Assuming most of those were democrats, that's a lot of people that, according to Jonathon, aren't listened to by anyone. Since we are all pot smokers and unemployable miscreants according to him, it's amazing that there isn't a national drug crisis, that over 90% of the population is employed, and that us libs aren't all locked up for our criminal behavior.

Also, contrary to Jonathon's imagination, I haven't seen anyone on the left spitting on veterans lately or cheering for failure. If that were the case, recent war veterans wouldn't be flocking to run for congress in 2006 as democrats. At least one reason is probably because the democrats protested soldiers being sent to fight without proper armor. That hardly seems to be consistent with a party that "despises the military" as you say.

I have an idea, Jonathon. Instead of spewing hate-filled unsubstantiated rhetoric, next time you should actually try to support your accusations with real evidence.

Maybe while you are at it, you can provide evidence that your fearless leader actually completed his military service. Because his commanding officer wrote that he hadn't seen him in a year, no pictures were ever provided of Bush on duty or with soldiers with whom he served in the Alabama guard, and none of those soldiers came forward and said they saw him on duty during the time in question. Based on that evidence, chickenhawk seems like a fair description of President Bush. And enablers is a fair description of people who defend him, his miscasting of Iraq as a threat to our existence, his attempts to bleed programs of money for the poor and aged, his attempts to justify torture, his attempts to circumvent the courts and congressional law, and his attempts to carry out electronic spying on Americans.

"And if you "love" America (which you don't), then why would your allegiance be towards an ideology (liberalism) that despises the military? They spit on you guys when you come back from war, they openly cheer for military failure...but hey: They support the troops!"

You really have drunk the kool-aid® haven't you? Are you really so dimwitted to believe that only people who think and look like you "love America?" You tell me who's "spitting" on the troops now? (Seen the latest VA budget proposal from the White House?)

And while we're on the subject, why isn't your ass in the grass instead of being in the rear with the gear and ice cold beer? If you are supportive of the war, suit up or shut up!

"Then, people like you break out the discredited "chicken hawk" fallacy (shot to hell at this site numerous times)."

Talk about wishful thinking... But while we're on the topic, let's take a look at some of the more notables. Now, we all know about Bush's dodge of Vietnam, Cheney's skiing through his elegibility years, Wolfowitz hiding out in academia, but let's get with the Barking Head Brigade and see what they were up to when the call came...

Name: William "Bill" Bennett
Born: 1943
Employer: Empower America
Conflict Avoided: Vietnam
Notes: Bill's occupation used to be "public scold," but since his gambling habit was exposed, he's a little less noisy on that front. Bill's a triple-crown winner as a former bureaucrat, a propagandist, and a barking head. (All barking heads are propagandists, but not all propagandists are barking heads.)

Name: Ann Coulter
Conflict Avoided: Desert Storm
Notes: Critics will howl that a woman can’t be a chickenhawk. In Ann Coulter’s case, that doesn’t matter; anyone with her level of bellicosity deserves to be held to a higher standard.

Name: Frank Gaffney
Born: 1953
Employer: Indeterminate
Conflict Avoided: Vietnam
Notes: Frank here is a very clever boy. Built a thing called the Center for Security Policy, which apparently keeps him in nice suits so he will look good in front of the TV cameras, which can't seem to get enough of him. As far as we can tell, Frank is a freelance salesman for the defense industry who is paid by an elaborately circuitous process. For all his obsession with the military, it's funny he never served.

Name: Rep. Newton Leroy "Newt" Gingrich (R-GA)
Born: June 17, 1943
Employer: Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy
Conflict Avoided: Vietnam
Notes: A virtuoso in the art of hypocrisy, the former Speaker of the House now claims the Vietnam War was a splendid idea, but at the time he opposed going himself. Newtie also speaks highly of morality, but as a serial adulterer he doesn’t want to get too close to it himself.

Name: Sean Hannity
Born: December, 1961
Employer: Rupert Murdoch
Conflict Avoided: Desert Storm
Notes: Plenty of guys his age were in Desert Storm - what's his excuse?

Name: David Limbaugh
Born: December 11, 1952
Employer: newspapers with low standards
Conflict Avoided: Vietnam
Notes: David's no fool - he stayed in school! Straight from high school to college in '71, where he stayed 'till '75, when the war was safely over. Poly sci major, wouldn't you know? The least annoying of the Limbaugh brothers, but only because he's more obscure.

Name: Rush Limbaugh
Born: 1951
Employer: Yack Radio
Conflict Avoided: Vietnam
Notes: Where to begin ... a joke about the Hindenburg? No, let's go right to the reason he had to stay home from the war - the world's most famous anal cyst. He's denied it, but www.snopes.com, the Urban Legends Reference Pages, has got the goods on him.

Name: William "Bill" O'Reilly
Born: 1949
Employer: Rupert Murdoch
Conflict Avoided: Vietnam
Notes: Bill O’Reilly loves to come off as a straight-talking, blue-collar kind of guy. Funny, a lot of guys who fit that description and graduated high school the same year he did - 1967 - went straight to Vietnam. Not our Bill - he went to college. And he didn’t just go to college, he spent his junior year, 1969-1970, in London. He graduated in 1971, briefly exposing him to the draft again, but Bill was miraculously spared.

Name: Michael Reagan
Born: March 18, 1946
Employer: Yack Radio
Conflict Avoided: Vietnam
Notes: What are the odds anyone would know who he is if everybody didn't know who his daddy was? What are the odds he would have escaped the draft if his name had been Manual Rodriguez?

Name: Michael Savage
Born: Unk.
Employer: UNK.
Conflict Avoided: Vietnam
Notes: We're not sure if this frothing lunatic is still on the air. Didn't he get canned for saying all gays should contract AIDS and die? If only he could have channeled all that animosity against Ho Chi Minh - we'd be selling Big Macs in Vietnam today!

Name: Rep. Joseph "Joe" Scarborough (R-FL)
Born: April 9, 1963
Employer: MSNBC
Conflict Avoided: Desert Storm
Notes: A former Republican congresman (1995-2002) turned MSNBC motormouth, Joe qualifies as a politician and a barking head. Where were you during Desert Storm, pal?

Why do you think that dope-smoking leftist unemployable miscreants WHO NEVER SERVED and speak out AGAINST the military..."

I am going to cut you right off there on that one... aside from your weird cultural fetish and problem with capitals letters, the problem you seem to have is distinguishing military from civilian political leadership. So I am going to say this in very small words so you and the rest of the wingnuts here will get it...

criticizing the President is not criticizing the military

Got that sparky? As much as you might like it to be otherwise, we do not live in a state ruled by a military leader or cadre.

A self-loathing soldier...if you really ARE or WERE a soldier..."

US Coast Guard, 1982-1986. And again with the wishful thinking, but unfortunately for you, I am not self-loathing. Sorry, but your idiot sterotyping doesn't hold up well under the light day.

"I'm flushing you at this point, you sorry ass moonbat."

Because you have no game or can't come correct to answer any of the questions I originally posed? No, just another hate consumed wingnut who can't think of anything more original to say than whatever Michael Weiner...ERRRR SAVAGE had to say that day... sux to be you I guess...
