Russian News Outlet Pravda Labels Obama a ‘Communist’ in Scathing OpEd

The famed Russian news site “Pravda,” which ironically was formed as the official Communist publication of the former Soviet Union, recently released a scathing opinion column entitled, “Obama’s Soviet Mistake,” in which the author unabashedly labels the U.S. president a “Communist without question promoting the Communist Manifesto without calling it so.”

If 30 years ago you told me that one day Pravda would criticize a US president as being a communist, I’d figure someone was high on something. Perhaps I’m high right now, and this is just a very long and very bad “trip”.

30 years ago, in 1983, I remember when KAL-007 was shot down. At that time, just from craps and giggles, I asked this question. "What if in the future, the USA became the USSR and the USSR became the USA? Also, what if we, the US, became the Evil Empire?" I could hear a pin drop. I was 17 then, a junior in high school.

Russia has some ways to go but in many cases, freer than we are now. Putin, although former KGB, he is more of an authoritarian on things, but that always has been Russia. Even so, here in 2012, I have to borrow Pogo Possum's favorite quote, "I see the enemy, he is us."

Ever feel like you went to sleep on planet Earth and woke up in "Bizzaro World" where everything is backwards? Well, peeps, we are here.

This is irony, writ large and would be amusing were it not true. Unfortunately for America, it is true. And it only took us about 60 years to get to this sorry state where the American voters choose a hardcore Marxist to ‘lead’ their country, even as he systemically destroys it’s economy and it’s power. Our constitutional freedoms are already being contracted and will disappear completely before Obama and the Democrats are done with us. This will not end well and some day far in the future historians will be perplexed to note that we did it to ourselves.

The idiots who voted for Obama will immediately label Pravda as a right wing hate rag and dismiss it.

There is one HUGE difference between Putin and Obama.

Putin loves his country and wants to make it number one in all things.

He will probably succeed............

Obama hates his country and wants to tear it down as fast as possible.

He will probably succeed...........

Obama and his fellow rats are communists to the core. The president is as spineless as Allende, as self-obsessed as Kim Il Sung, and as morally bankrupt as Stalin.

Pope Pius XI: With God and Jesus Christ excluded from political life, with authority derived not from God but from man, … the chief reason of the distinction between ruler and subject has been eliminated. The result is that society is tottering to its ruin because it no longer has a secure and solid foundation [Quas Primas].

While it may be very long and very bad, this time it’s real.

And yet nobody heeds the call for dividing the United States into the “Real USA” and the “SSA”, Soviet States of America.

The borders are already there. Just look at the map of the “red” areas (oh, unfortunate term!) and the “blue” areas from the recent election, divided by counties.

The “red” section is almost contiguous, the “blue” pockets are scattered and isolated from each other. The “red” part is capable of stand-alone economic strength, the “blue” areas are conclusively demonstrated to be unable to prepare or maintain any position of moral authority or business acumen.

Look at Detroit, and ask yourself, why foreign automobile manufacturers do not take over the now empty manufacturing facilities there? They go to Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, South Carolina, Georgia and Texas. And build from the ground up.

The MSM won’t cover events they don’t approve of. I despise them.

Well, I do believe parallel universes do exist. I’m an “alternate history” buff, like to play “what-if.” Still, like you, I feel like we’ve fallen into a parallel universe.

[ You must have missed the news yesterday.]

Since I stopped watching cable and national news after the ‘election’, I might have missed something.

Could you tell me I missed?

Jamie Foxx called obama our lord and savior at the Soul Train Awards and the audience erupted in cheers and applause.

I just now noticed that I misread your post. You said formally. I read it, formerly. Sorry about that.
