It wouldn’t be communism if it didn’t have gulags.
Ex-president *Batteries Not Included has spent the last six years wallowing in riches, and I doubt he’s gotten any wiser since he dropped this clanger. But this quote might stand forever as the dumbest thing he ever said.
Yesireebob–just use “what works” in communism. The fact that nothing works in communism has eluded him.
Oh–but he’s a Democrat: he likes communism! And wishes that we had it here.
Well, they’re tryin’, sunshine–they’re tryin’.
Really, who is “the worst Democrat”?
New York Times columnist and Red China fan Thomas Friedman inadvertently raised a fascinating question: Who is “the worst Democrat”?
Talk about an embarrassment of riches! My vote goes to Obama, hands down; but there must be thousands of equally qualified contestants for the title. Who is The Worst Democrat? Friedman himself is in the running for it.
I ought to open an essay contest, shouldn’t I?
How many times, during those evil days of the Obama regime, did we wonder if we were going to wake up in North Korea? And now they’re back! Once again, everything sounds like Red China. Which is to say, every cotton-pickin’ thing is politicized to death.
Even bedtime stories. Here’s what Democrat do to bedtime stories:
God help us! The example above came with a Participation Trophy! The horror, the horror…
Meanwhile, boys ‘n’ girls, I’ve got a new content for you! See if you can answer this riddle of the sphinx: Why is Kamala Harris our country’s vice president? Why should she be vice president of anything?
Maybe she’s there to write bedtime stories.
Nikita Khrushchev banging his shoe at the U.N. How quickly we forget.
I remember when Khrushchev threatened America, “Your grandchildren will live under communism.” He must’ve had a subscription to the New York Times.
Two years ago, this alleged newspaper rekindled its long love affair with communism by celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Russian Revolution, one of the chief calamities of the 20th century.
And last week an audience of Democrats booed Michael Bloomberg for timidly suggesting, “Communism doesn’t work.”
Have we forgotten how deliriously happy people were when their countries’ communist regimes collapsed, all over the world? There’s still China, North Korea, Cuba, and a few other places. But people rejoiced at the destruction of the Berlin Wall and the sudden death of the Soviet Union.
It wasn’t that long ago. Surely someone on the Times must remember it.
Unless maybe they all get their brains wiped from time to time.
They booed God at their national convention.
And last night they booed one of their candidates for saying communism “doesn’t work” (ya think?).
Here’s what former NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg actually said: “We’re not going to throw out capitalism. We tried that, other countries tried that. It was called communism, and it just doesn’t work.”
Moans and boos! Boo, capitalism! That was the audience.
What do they actually want? “Democratic socialism”? But what is that? A Soviet Union with Democrats in charge, probably. They want free stuff. It isn’t really free, someone has to pay for it, but they don’t know and they don’t care. It’s really an immoral mind-set. And it doesn’t create wealth, but destroys it. The Soviet Union collapsed, and Red China, while keeping the communist label, turned to fascism. Even fascism works better than communism.
As someone who grew up in the 1950s and 60s, it’s just about inconceivable to me that any political party, except the Communist Party itself, would ever consent to serve as a haven for communists.
Chalk that change up to public education.
That’s who’s responsible for Americans defending communism.
