Communicating CommunismFollow

If you want links look them up yourself, like I did.


So once again we have an Obama buddy openly supporting communist regimes.

I think he's saying that Mother Teresa was a communist.

What's funny is that I did a Google for the string "he played Anita Dunn’s video making a speech before an assembly of children" just as Varus said I should do and this was the complete article:

I'm more curious about why you selectively quoted the article and then refused to link to it.

You don't know what methodology is, do you?

Communism is bad?

This is old news that the New York times covered over the weekend. It's a lot more of taking a few statements out of contents and making it sound like an attack of Apple Pie, Motherhood and the Good Old USA.

The Children were graduating high school seniors and it's time people grow up and stop being afraid of the bogyman.

Even though Mao was an commie, he was able to say things worth quoting to young adults, with out fear that they will suddenly become pinko's.

Makes one long for the days after Nixon went to China and quoting the Little Red Book was thought to make one "Cool". Then for some Joe McCarthy will always be a Hero.

How quoting Mother Theresa can be subversive to anyone but the Far Right Conservative Christian, to who papist is link to devil worship, one can just ask them to join the modern world.


A place that is spherical and science has taught us far better understanding of life and how it evolve on earth then any myth they may cling to.

But two out of those three things actually suck, and let it not be thought that I would disparage pie.



Then you ask yourself if those policies are worthy of being supported, and judge them on their own merits, because you are an intelligent being capable of separating confluences of political theory into base parts, to be used in a synthesis of your own. Hopefully, people won't let themselves be so easily manipulated by some spectre of the past that they would refuse to even ask the question.

Unfortunately, as you evidence so nicely, that is not the case. Instead of asking the question to yourself of: "what could this woman mean by this assertion, and what positive political ideas might we learn through an examination of Mao," you are so damn terrified of your own shadow that you won't even ask.

I think it's time for another Varus bannination party.


I guess some of you find enjoyment in reading his pointless drivel day in and day out and even perhaps responding to it as if some sense will come of the otherwise pigheaded discussion, but really, I can't see the point. This is why we should all have guns.

Do what I do. Approach every other OOT thread with extreme consternation and an foolishly unlikeable disposition.

I prefer to go with a cheeky, yet enjoyable sarcasm that fails to be noticed 9/10 times :D

I think it was odd to see an official who has favorite philosophers, while Sarah Palin can't Supreme Court cases, newspapers, or magazines that she likes.

Gosh, I'm so glad she didn't become the VP.

I figured I had a 1 in 6 chance of being right. Given your mood today I liked my chances.

ETA: **** Pensive.
