I've been doing a lot of thinking lately, and it's not good.
In talking with my husband over the weekend, he said one thing that sticks out in my mind.
If Obama wins, he will try to implement all his socalist programs. That's just one little step away from Communism.
If that happens....if that happens, my husband said we would become "good little communists and let them take care of us."
I looked at him aghast, and thought he was joking.
He wasn't.
I said, but we make too much money to be taken care of. We're considered middle class (i.e., around $60,000 a year lately, used to be 80).
He said we'd both quit our jobs, and let the government take care of us.
We'll be good little communists...
I'd rather shoot myself.

Communism is not a
that sneaks up behind you in the middle of the night. There are other ways to achieve the security you refer to 90 miles off our coast. Starting another cold war with communism is not one of them. I will mention but a few undesireable consequences of economic sanctions here.
1. Increases poverty, starvation and disease.
2. Harms US businesses
3. Angers other countries as a result of restrictions inadvertently placed on them
4. Leaders in sanctioned countries blame the US for the country's economic problems and garners support from the population against a "common enemy"
5. Offshore banks, shell companies and money-laundering emerge
6. Frozen assets amount to theft
7. Hyperinflation
8. Increase in criminal activities
9. Unenforceable
Please cite an instance where sanctions have actually worked.
You have already voted for communism

Don't think we have to worry about communism
Russia is in worse shape than we are. From CNBC, as of yesterday, we were down 17%, Russia 42%. I can't remember if that was the currency value or markets. Maybe you can check. I'm trying to work. LOL
He wrote about Jews and communism. sm
He read many of Henry Ford's writings when he (Hitler) was in prison. He included these thoughts/tenents in Mein Kampf.
Scoff at the idea of communism if you want to...
however, there are people on this board defending a law enforcement background check with results released to the public as what someone deserved for daring to ask Obama a question. Now in all honesty...that sounds a lot more like a communist country than the good old USA. And I would be saying the same thing if a background check was ordered and results released to the public on a democrat who asked John McCain a question. And so would all the Obama supporters here. The ACLU would be ALL over it.
Sounds a LOT more like communism that the good old USA...and that does not alarm a lot of folks on this board.

Why would anyone want socialism/communism to succeed
If that means he will fail then by all means I'm for that.
Just hard to believe how many socialists/communists there are out there and a lot here too.
Um, yeah. I think it's called Communism.

Google has 637,000 entries on Jews and communism. sm
But I guess you read the one history book that didn't have that in it. Unbelievable.
Only 16 more days til a new regime of communism/socialsm enters
and what better way to express yourself with slamming two beers together.
According to different websites GW's IQ is 129 and BO's is between 115-120.
I'd stay off the Kool-aid if I were you.
