I have heard the thermobaric mermaids singing each to each.
Soon they will sing, "Saddam, payback's a beach."

Thanks. It's amazingly obvious where the good stuff comes from. Likewise the dreck. There is a real devil - and he is relentless.

Thanks a lot for the ping.
Yearly? Long time.

The book is actually still in print. You can order a copy ($14.95 paperback with probably some shipping cost) from:
http://www.skousen2000.com/Political%20Writings/communist.htm
I'd be astonished if your library had it despite all the First Amendment concerns by professional librarians about keeping internet access to pornography available to young minds.
Meanwhile, there's another book you and contributors to this thread might find interesting. I've read only a review so far (H.A. Scott Trask writing in the January 2003 "Chronicles.")
"Multiculturalism and the Politics of Guilt: Toward a Secular Theocracy" by Paul E. Gottfried is published by the University of Missouri Press (astonishingly!) It details how America is now ruled by cultural Marxism.
Agree with him or not, Gottfried makes some points I think may be very much worth considering. As Trask points out:
"Gottfried is one of the few scholars to notice that the social democratic left won the Cold War. Neoconservatives have been strutting around for a decade, pronouncing the 'death of socialism,' the triumph of democratic capitalism, the ascendancy of conservatism, and the dawn of universal freedom.
"Gottfried makes it clear, in painstaking detail, that all this is fantasy. While Soviet-style communism has failed and has been repudiated by everyone except Castro and Kim Jong Il, the Western form of democratic socialism -- the mixed economy, the welfare state, redistributive taxation, government regulation of business -- stands unchallenged."
Most interestingly to me, Gottfried sees Third World immigration as a tool used by anti-American elites to force social and demographic change and cultural revolution; and Political Correctness as a manifestation of a "deformed Protestant culture" that has been adopted as a substitute for Christianity: "...a misplaced quest for religious redemption that takes the form of worshiping at the multicultural shrine."
I'm not prepared to debate the book until I've read it myself, but the author appears to have some very interesting thoughts that impact the subject we're discussing here.

I love these! You have successfully added three new ones to our list which has been growing at a rate of about 1 per year. Excellent work!

Exactly. I'm pretty sure the real general secretary of COMINTERN is Old Scratch.

It's true but that's the way it must be for now, considering the gigantic pile of other work we have to do. We do have an inkling of increasing the frequency at some point. We'll see how the first issue does and judge from there.

Well, it seems we discovered in the intervening years that the 1st amendment only applies to pornographers, left-wing journalists, and atheists. The ALA (American Library Association) is run by cultural marxists. Read any of their periodicals and you'll soon see...
To: Antoninus
Glad you like them! And let's not forget Benito Muesli, Vidkun Quisp, and Drakes' Jodls.

Remember the "hanging ceramic trophy penis display" flap a year or so ago? If your library is like ours, many "lady" librarians also seem to eschew lipstick and other makeup. They style their hair in a distinctive kind of severe buzz-cut and scowl challengingly at male patrons.

Yeah, the best thing to do to such types is go up to them and say, "I'd like to renew this Pat Buchanan book, and I'd like to put in a request that the purchase the new one by Thomas Sowell."

Drakes' Jodls
Now that is a classic.
