IIRC, Putin addressed Obama and his communist ways....and said “It doesn’t work”.

Shortly after Walter Cronkite sold out the American armed forces in Viet Nam.

I am fond of posting Abe's answer to questions like that.

Abe, wake up over there.. explain to us again please.

You initiated a policy to tolerate the Marxist-Alinsky radicals and let them rant; not only has it not ceased but was constantly augmented by decades of infiltration and indoctrination. You now have two Americas. In my opinion, it will not cease until a crisis shall have been reached and passed. "A house divided against itself cannot stand." I believe this government cannot endure, permanently, half statist and half free; I do not expect the house to fall; but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing, or all the other.

Communism was already an American dream during the Spanish Civil war when Americans volunteered to fight on the commie side in Spain.

When half the country does not contribute and waits for the other half to pay up, communism looks good to them. Cement the good times in place they think.

It happened earlier than that, we just called it something different when Wilson and FDR did it.

Don't forget, the press didn't show FDR in a wheelchair because they didn't want to "influence" the election. And FDR sold us out to the commies. Funny how the media tries to keep from influencing things, but only when it assists some leftist #ssh#l#.

J.B. Williams lays out the dire situation and puts the onus on the American people to vote - while they still can - against Obama and get him out of the White House or see their freedom taken along with their comfortable lifestyle as the U.S. economy tanks for good in a second Obama term. I couldn’t agree more with this column. Well done.

Communism was already an American dream during the Spanish Civil war when Americans volunteered to fight on the commie side in Spain.

Before that, many had the dream to emigrate to the new Workers' Paradise in Russia. The book The Forsaken tells of the horrors of that experience.

Wilson’s administration started the Creel Commission or “Committee on Public Information” which was headed by George Creel, a newspaper man and propagandist.

” The 2012 election is not a referendum on Mitt Romney or Barack Obama. It is a referendum on American society. It is a contest between two opposite American Dreams and the outcome will tell us nothing about Romney and Obama, but everything about the American people. “

Mostly true, but there are mitigating factors.

CLUE: When a givernment gives free stuff it MUST first that that stuff from the people they are giving it to.. The givernment owns nothing except what it takes from the people by armed guards..

When a givernment gives free stuff.. it first deducts a portion of the stuff to distribute to the givernments “friends”.. and that percentage ALWAYS grows in percentage.. Always.. over time.. The rest goes to the people which can include other givernment “friends”..

When studied well many notice the givernment does not give anything.. It always “TAKES”... Never gives.. It takes and redistributes what it takes.. MAny fail to notive the givernment “IS PEOPLE”.. The givernment is not an amorphous mass of concepts.. its “people”..

People stealing from other people to redistribute the peoples stuff to other people.. it is conflated theft.. Controlling this theft is WHY? we have a United States Constitution.. The Constitution is written DOWN to control federal givernment.. To control it.. No other reason for a COnstitution.. It is to control givernment.. Each State also has Charters -OR- Constitutions.. same thing..

***NOTE: The only question that needs to be asked by the “people” “IS”... Is the federal givernment a slave to sovereign States -OR- are the State slaves to federal givermnent.. This is the question ALL AMERICANS need to ask themselves THIS ELECTION..

Confusion on these issues can and WILL make you a moron..
A drooling, eye rolling moron.. whether you hang your tongue out or not..

After the 2008 election, I concluded my fellow Americans had embraced communism. I was truly depressed for weeks afterwards.

Now, I realize a sizable segment of the American electorate: votes personalities, not policies; is apolitical but insists on voting; hated Bush so much that the perceived "anti-Bush" was the only way to go; really, really, really doesn't pay attention.

These people decide elections.
