That “familiar bogeyman” killed how many people in the 20th Century?

About a hundred million, give or take.

Here's the butcher's bill:

Geez, what a pantload of leftist hooey.

One Van Jones is all it takes to negate the Obama administration's cautious centrism. The radicalism is just under the surface, if you're willing to believe.

"Centrism"?? Nationalizing multiple major industries is centrism?

Radicalism is not under the surface. It's all over the place. The adminstration looks like a Who's Who of mid and late 20th century western radicals (that's a polite word for commies).

This particular wave of outrage actually began back in February, when the stimulus had just been approved and when the health-care debate was still entirely theoretical

No, you nincompoop- the outrage began with the passing of TARP...under the previous president.

Some new version of the Bonus Army never marched on Washington.
No Huey Long materialized to haunt the wealthy

Wow! Here I thought I did my homework but have just been shown to be a knuckle dragging redneck by one of my betters, a pencil necked egghead, just like "commander zero".

Fortunately I had someone read the article to me, slowly, as I is illiterate too.

If Franks were half as smart as he thinks he is, he’d be fifty-times smarter than I know him to be.

They never went away. They are there, they have always been there, and now they have actual power.

There are exceedingly few people to whom I would offer this advice, as reasonable people may differ, and often ought to. But Mr. Franks: get the hell out of my country. You do not deserve to be an American.

Oh, brother. O'Reilly just told Glenn Beck that "Communism is no longer a threat."

Yes, that right....I'm quoting correctly....."Communism is no longer a threat."

Glenn was gobsmacked. However he let O'Reilly slip away from that statement because he's a gentleman and Bill is a co-worker.

BOR is feeling very dwarfed by Beck these days.....and in Beck's presence he is losing it....trying to be clever, smart-alec, walking all over Glenn's points.....and making one big dumb-ass out of himself.

Yeah. It’s just dwindled away to nothing. Why those marxist dictators in china now have worldclass manufacturing and riches and sophisticated spying to go along with their nukes, but no worries. And Hugo Chavez is busy supporting a marxist revolution in central and south America, not to mention supporting terrorists and narco-terrorists; but no worries And commie dictator Kim Jong Il is exporting weapons to every imaginable scumbag on earth; but no worries. And Russia is back to it’s old USSR ways of assassinations, coercions, and threatening its neighbors; but no worries. And the communists in our country have aligned themselves with the islamo-fascists; but no worries.
