Allied With Marx
Regarding "All The Above" (Editorial, July 1): Are you squeamish about writing the word "communist"? You used every other word - Bolshevik, Marxist, Leninist, Stalin. Does your "respect" for Sen. Hillary Clinton prevent yo from telling it like it is? She's a communist, espousing communist ideology. As you write, her words will be unchallenged, specifically by the cowardly Republicans. Who out there has guts? Ann Coulter?
This helps to prove my theory that many Democrats are communists i disguise. Take, for example, Sen. John Kerry's campaign slogan: "Let America Be America Again." This is the title of a poem by Langston Hughes, a communist. Hughes was not referring to traditional America. In his poetry, he praises Mars, Lenin and Stalin. This "America" slogan is as ambiguous as the candidate who has embraced it.
Perhaps the communist Democrats are relying on the dumbing down of America to prevent people from knowing what Marx, Lenin and Stalin are all about.
