General Jack D. Ripper: Mandrake, do you realize that in addition to fluoridating water, why, there are studies underway to fluoridate salt, flour, fruit juices, soup, sugar, milk... ice cream. Ice cream, Mandrake, children's ice cream.

Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: Lord, Jack.

General Jack D. Ripper: You know when fluoridation first began?

Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: I... no, no. I don't, Jack.

General Jack D. Ripper: Nineteen hundred and forty-six. Nineteen forty-six, Mandrake. How does that coincide with your post-war Commie conspiracy, huh? It's incredibly obvious, isn't it? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual. Certainly without any choice. That's the way your hard-core Commie works.

Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: Uh, Jack, Jack, listen, tell me, tell me, Jack. When did you first... become... well, develop this theory?

General Jack D. Ripper: Well, I, uh... I... I... first became aware of it, Mandrake, during the physical act of love.

Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: Hmm.

Actually, the left loves fascism too. Somehow, they have (again) twisted the truth to associate what they call fascism with anything conservative. In fact, the left are all in favor of totalitarians regardless of stripe, it's those that prize individual liberty over control by the state that they want to eliminate.

This could be a picture from Germany, it could be from Russia, it could even be from Cambodia (except for the snow). It could be from either side in our civil war. These might be people from Maine, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Indiana who died fighting to free slaves.

It is interesting that so many seem to think this looks like it was fun and are going to vote to do it again.

A little while ago I was a little saddened that I haven't produced any children (you know, responsibility and all. I used alcohol and drugs alot and knew I wasn't ready for the commitment ). It would have been nice to see them grow up and be able to teach my children right from wrong, watch them become responsible adults. Teach them the evils and good of this world.

Now, I am very glad I didn't. this may sound cynical and gloomy, but I do believe this world is heading for another Genocide with America leading the way.

I am disgusted...

I likewise have not had children because I have seen this world shift farther and farther toward evil. I can't imagine being a child growing up in this environment where right is wrong and wrong is right.

Great quote from the article:

Of all the lectures that I do around the country, none seem to rivet the audience as much as my discourse on the horrors of communism.
...
As I do these presentations, the young people, especially on college campuses, are locked in, amazed at what they are hearing.
...
As the young people in my audience are fully engaged, hands in the air with question after question -- obviously hearing all of these things for the first time in their lives, from K-12 to college, as they are eager to inform me after my talk -- the professors often stare at me with contempt. In one case, a British professor, who could not stop sighing, squirming, and rolling her eyes as I quoted the most heinous assessments of religion by Marx and Lenin, got up and stormed out of the room.

And again, I can't stress enough how important it is that we all understand what Paul Kengor is saying here. We are actually facing a future run by an entire generation of people who don't know the bad things Stalin and Lenin did, and don't understand why communism is bad, or even that it is! Instead, they have been taught that capitalism is bad. These kids will be running our country soon, and in fact are in many cases.

If you DO have kids, like me, make sure you teach them all you can to counterbalance the pro-communist teachings they get in public schools.

Teach them the truth, all of it. The only way these educators succeed (ironically) is by hiding the truth.

I played little league with Paul Kengor's little bro and my older bro played with Paul (pretty sure it's the right Paul Kengor - he's from the right area). He was our big slugger on 3rd and I was SS/P. It's a small world, I suppose.

The word you must keep repeating is "nuance".

"It's not that we're PRO communist, we're just anti-anti-communist. Oh sure, there are lots of Marxist professors, but more are actually LEFTIST than MARXIST..."

OK, how's this. If you are leftist, Marxist, anti-anti-communist, "progressive" or any permutation of the above...and are a school teacher or college professor...we fire your ass and make sure you never have access to the education system again.

Not very nuanced, but it might just improve this country by 100 percent.

Look at that picture again, JIM; those people were shot down like dogs. They may have sung songs of freedom in life, but they didn't die "fighting" for anything.

The millions killed/starved/tortured to death is to the advantage of madmen. It worked to the advantage of the nazis and commies in the thirties and forties, the American people would hear that "tens of thousands" of people in Germany (and Russia in the early days of the war) and they were incredulous; "how could a government be so destructive to their own country? NO ONE could be that insane!" they said. that's why people accuse the American government of WW2 of a "cover-up", people could barely wrap their heads around the enemy killing "thousands" of their own people, MILLIONS would be impossible to imagine. Many people STILL can't imagine it.

A Khmer Rouge saying made the point clearly: "To preserve you is no gain, to destroy you is no loss.

The Killing Fields is a tale of the left gone mad. Pray(if you can) it never happens again but I have my doubts.

What empirical evidence do you have that Frank Marshall Davis was Stalinist?

Oh Lord. This nut again. Where's Artfldgr for another round of trounce-ass? This should be fun. Again.

Artfldgr will bring out very useful and well-documented information, and Kaleokualoha will produce info from kook conspiracy sites. Then Kaleokualoha will wait a day til the thread is off the front page and insert his last word, thus "winning" the argument. Again.

Fun times, gents. Fun times.

The fact is that STALIN was a bigger mass murderer then HITLER and communsim is by far worse then nazism and even the fact is that HANOI JANE once told a bunch of collage students that IF YOU UNDERSTOOD COMMUNSIM YOU WOULD HOPE YOU WOULD PRAY ON YOUR KNEES THAT WE WILL SOMEDAY BECOME COMMUNISTS phooie DOWN WITH COMMUNSIM BOYCOTT JANE FONDA

KHarn. Dead is dead. Once you are defeated, captured, rounded up, and down away with you can be shot, starved, or simply die of diarrhea. You can have fought like a demon or surrendered like a sheep. Some official far from the stench can order your death. There is no way when you are a body in a rotting pile of meat to know whether you fought or not or how you voted. They say "Be careful what you wish or pray for." I say, "Be careful what you vote for."

I know, JIM. I guess I was a little angered by the photo when I posted and it seemed like I was taking it out on you. Sorry about that..

THULSA DOOM WROTE: Artfldgr will bring out very useful and well-documented information, and Kaleokualoha will produce info from kook conspiracy sites. Then Kaleokualoha will wait a day til the thread is off the front page and insert his last word, thus "winning" the argument. Again."

RESPONSE: Neither Artfldgr nor anyone else has provided a shred of evidence that Davis was a Stalinist. I challenge you, THULSA DOOM, to retrieve Artfldgr's "evidence."

Cliff Kincaid's expert on the life of Frank Marshall Davis, Edgar Tidwell, says Davis was NOT a Stalinist. Can you produce a more reputable expert? I think not!

Davis criticized Stalin in writing. Can you produce empirical evidence to the contrary, such as written praise of Stalin? I think not!

Too true, Van. What left the biggest impression from the Cold War on leftists was "McCarthyism," not show trials, purges, gulags, famine, etc.

Hopefully your “Stalinist” evidence extends beyond Party membership, because Cliff Kincaid’s cited source, “The New Red Negro,” makes it clear that only some CPUSA members were Stalinists. There were many different kinds of communists, and factions within the CPUSA and other communist parties. Even within the Soviet Union, the vigor with which Stalin was denounced proves that not all Soviet Communist Party members were Stalinists.

It is rather simplistic to presume that every group member supports the policies of their group leader. That’s why purges occur.

Even Cliff Kincaid claims Davis was a Stalinist because “He stayed with the Communist Party even after the Hitler-Stalin pact. That's why I refer to him as `a Stalinist agent’.” [http://www.aim.org/aim-column/media-excuse-obamas-false-advertising/] Kincaid, however, ignored his own expert’s evidence that Davis wasn’t even a member until years after the pact, thereby invalidating his own reasoning.

Once again, what’s your evidence that Frank Marshall Davis was a Stalinist?

Oops! Sorry. The correct link for the Kincaid quote is http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/opinion/s_571431.html (June 2008). This is where Kincaid explains that he calls Davis a "Stalinist" because he stayed with the CPUSA after the Hitler-Stalin pact.

In Kincaid's original (February 2008) attack against Davis (http://www.aim.org/aim-column/obamas-communist-mentor/), he does NOT call Davis a "Stalinist." Kincaid wrote:

"In addition to Tidwell's book, Black Moods: Collected Poems of Frank Marshall Davis, confirming Davis's Communist Party membership, another book, The New Red Negro: The Literary Left and African American Poetry, 1930-1946, names Davis as one of several black poets who continued to publish in CPUSA-supported publications after the 1939 Hitler-Stalin non-aggression pact. The author, James Edward Smethurst, associate professor of Afro-American studies at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, says that Davis, however, would later claim that he was "deeply troubled" by the pact."

Obviously, something changed between February and June 2008. Inexplicably, without any evidence, Kincaid's reconsideration of Davis now justifies calling Davis a "Stalinist." Davis suddenly became a "Stalinist" because Cliff Kincaid said so??

I doubt you will find any references to Davis being a "Stalinist" before Kincaid's new label. Did the FBI or Congressional investigators consider him a "Stalinist"? I don't think so!

This is Kincaid's style of journalistic integrity. Hopefully, you can produce more compelling evidence.
