Democrat? Communist? Same same!
Communists are Democrats in a Wicked Big Hurry. On the other hand, the more liberal Democrats insinuate their left Wing agenda into society over time. They prefer a more "Fabian" Socialist approach to your wallet, property and Liberties..
Check out Marx's (and Engle's) Communist Manifesto of 1848. Look at the 10 main points, looks like what the liberal Dems would generally agree with, if pressed hard, no? Look at all the crazy stuff the Dems have stood for, generally. How about Liberation Theology? How about tax increases? How about opposition to roll-bacls in taxes and spending? How about anti-family legislation and other "PC" laws? Spice it up with a little Central and South American Marxism and we are all set! Also, there's nothing like a heavy, graduated "progressive" income tax to finally financially exterminate the people! (sarc. ad extremis).
"We're not Communists. We're Democrats!" Go Kerry in '08! Actually, a Hillary-Dellums ticket would make more 'sense'?... Maybe, ... for Beijing or the likes of Pol Pot. (sarc.) / END
... Good God, please help us all.
