Of all the many national and ideological clashes of the 20th century, none was more colossal than Communism. It emerged triumphant in Russia in 1917 and reached for world domination in the 1940s. And as unlikely as it seems today, at that time, many Western intellectuals confidently predicted Communism's ultimate triumph.

Most, if not all of these radical communist terrorists and sympathizers, came to the US before the Russian Revolution. They immigrated to the Eastern US from Russia and Poland. They had missed the Russian Revolution in 1917 and set out to bring one upon the US. The result was the "Red Scare" of the 1920's and the driving of these "Reds" underground into the Democratic Party. Their likes can still be felt today. Michael Newdow, the atheist, is a descendant of one of these Reds. He is the one before the Supreme Court attempting to remove "One nation, under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance. These people left their religion in Russia and Eastern Europe and embraced communism as their new faith. They are still with us to this day.
Considering the leftist rhetoric that passes for "news" from the mainstream media, and the leftist indoctrination that passes for "education" from modern academia, they still do.
Hell, the mainstream media is already spinning Saddam's capture as something negative. Traitors.
I don't like "... Communism slowly withered and, finally, collapsed in 1991."
This sounds like we sat there watching, passively, and did nothing. The fact of the matter is that communism fell (at least the Soviet version) because President Reagan assertatively confronted it and forced it to blink and then, fall. It didn't wither, it was crushed!
The democrats and other America-haters represent the neocommunists, the non-Soviets who are as vigorous in their efforts to destroy America, the American way of life, and capitalism as were Soviets. And, they must be resisted as vigorously as Reagan opposed the Soviets.
But I see on the news all these Iraqies cheering the capture of Saddam. They are all waving big red soviet communist flags.
So how do we get the red out of Iraq? I know it is a slightly different subject but I could not resist.
And they haven't changed -- they are still working against the US with all the heart and soul......
I hadn't heard that yet, very interesting! Do you have a link for that, please? There are a few people I'd like to forward that to :-)
