My pleasure. No one should ever forget what a monster Satlin was and Communism is.
Those who have not learned the lessons of history are doomed to repeat them.
Forgot to thank YOU for this good thread.
Thank you, Calpernia.
Some of that is the reason why this family goes to enormous lengths to purchase direct from those who raise the foods or to fund/foster the raising of it.
We know, by sad experience, that it is worthwhile.
Monsanto is a peeve, FDA more and USDA not much less.

Thanks for putting me on your list. I'm going to check out your links.
Putin I don't trust at all. Former KGB, sly and cunning.
The marines used to have a bunch of guys called RECON. Pretty elite in their own right. Wonder what happened to them?
Status: presently we have six full platoons.
A guy I used to work with was a RECON in Nam. He told me they would set up ambushes and kill 20 or so of the enemy in a matter of a few seconds.
He also told me of operations in Cambodia. On one trip, one of the guys in his outfit was attacked by a tiger during the night when most of them were sleeping. They killed the tiger.
His brother was also in Nam and had half of the cheek of his ass blown off by a captured .50 that went through a palm tree before it got him.
Great points, but I'm a numbers guy.
Rummel has the numbers.

Stalin was worse.
No less significant is the intellectual outlook of the rank and file in the communist and fascist movements in Germany before 1933. The relative ease with which a young communist could be converted into a Nazi or vice versa was well known, best of all to the propagandists of the two parties. The communists and Nazis clashed more frequently with each other than with other parties simply because they competed for the same type of mind and reserved for each other the hatred of the heretic. Their practice showed how closely they are related. To both, the real enemy, the man with whom they had nothing in common, was the liberal of the old type. While to the Nazi the communist and to the communist the Nazi, and to both the socialist, are potential recruits made of the right timber, they both know that there can be no compromise between them and those who really believe in individual freedom.
Thanks for the pic and links.
Thanks for the ping.
It's too bad that Putin is not selling them anymore. He wants to keep the remaining Lenin and Stalin statues as "Historical Landmarks".

"(Numbers wise Stalin and Hitler about tie, and Mao beats them both)"
Wrong again... Stalin killed 20-30 million people.
I didn't think Jesus was dead.
