THEY'RE ALL COMMUNISTS (BINGO!)

J Edgar Hoover published “Masters of Deceipt” in 1957. This was a book explaining the communist party here in our country. I have watched the dimrat party follow that book for the last 10 years or so. It’s their playbook. It’s really spooky how closely they are following it.

We did see a new political animal emerge from behind the curtain this season:
Volvo Maoists.

Open season?

If you get a chance read “The Black Book of Communism”, and suggest it to all the doubters of the failure of communism. It is long (800 pages) but worth your time.

The difference between fascism and communism is inconsequential to the individual.

These AUTHORITARIAN COLLECTIVISTS want to make all decisions for you, substitute your goals with their goals, and punish you for disobeying or making any decision that is not “approved”.

We can debate the labels to use amongst ourselves all day but when it comes to communicating this idea to other people, and it is critical to start communicating this idea to others, we need a single label with some variation that illustrate the danger of this man, his associates and his beliefs.

Socialism is not the label to use. There is a reason Newsweek used the term. It doesn't cause much concern among people. What does the average person think of when the term socialism is thrown around? Europe? The French? The French are harmless and by extension so is socialism. It doesn't really work, but then again neither does our system in its current state. The fact that socialism has been creeping into our system since the early 1900s has a lot to do with this, but that is irrelevant to most people.

Fascism. The left spent seven or eight years labeling Bush a fascist. Hitler was a fascist. The fascist label is ineffective when applied to Obama regardless of how close his actions reflect those of a fascist.

Collectivism. Try explaining collectivism / collectivists to people. Their eyes will roll into the back of their heads thirty seconds into the explanation.

Communism. In my opinion the only label to use is communism. Nothing says misery, despair, failure and loss of freedom like communism.

Just my thoughts. Would appreciate any feedback.

I still like “fascist” when describing 0bama and the current crop of elitist leftists.

It’s accurate, and I love the “shock value” of having their pejorative shoved back in their faces.

Younger people tend to look at me with a “so what” expression

communists make all the stuff they buy at Walmart, etc. why would they think communists are bad? American businesses don't seem to have a problem with them either

“communists make all the stuff they buy at Walmart, etc. why would they think communists are bad? American businesses don’t seem to have a problem with them either”

BINGO!

.....Perhaps Obama & Co. are allowed to get away with this because our Pravda press views Obamunism as a “kinder, gentler” sort of communism than that responsible for the deaths of 100 million people in the past 90 years or so.....

But the obamunists BELIEVE in causing the deaths of at least tens of millions of people. It’s called “age-based rationing” of health care and other resources, as promulgated by Cass Sunstein and Ezekiel Emanuel, among others. Younger people with disabilities or other “defects” will find themselves “rationed” out of life, too, by commissars Sunstein and Emanuel! And the “kind, gentle” (NOT!) obama believes in this type of rationing, too, and that he and his minions are “partners with God in life and death”.

All these goons should be impeached, and then tried and convicted for conspiracy to commit mass murder!!!!

[DouglasKC]

Absolutely. Communists have been successful at ridiculing the notion that communists WANT to take over the US. They've been so successful that it's even hard for conservatives to wrap their minds around the fact that Obama IS and ESPOUSES communist idea, theories and governance.

This morning I'm driving along and I hear the reporter on the radio saying "the pay Czar is going to cut in half the salaries of certain positions at AIG, etc. etc.". I started crying. The PAY CZAR????? Cutting SALARIES? WHO gave them the authority? WHO is fighting this?? Did we just GIVE up and let a usurper march into the White House?

It seems that NOBODY is opposing him in government and this makes me think that government has gone so far left, so far into communism that this is the logical last step.

Rest in peace USA....

And lets not forget that they are pro-abortion and Hussein is pro-infanticide too!

Since American public schools are no longer teaching about the evils of communism most Americans are now clueless about the issue. It is up to each and everyone of us to remind the clueless that communism is an evil system, no matter who is running it.

[MrB]

Don’t forget the states.
The states are the last bastion for saving the republic.

It’s accurate, [...]

While the current occupant of the Oval Office hold some parts of fascism dear, he is most definitely not a full fascist--he is divisive and very anti-American! Remember where we get the term "fascism"....the fasces..."Strength Through Unity" and all.

He's blended Hitler, Marx, Mussolini, and Mao.
