Let the bastards go even further left. See how well that works out for them in 2012.

To demented socialists the only cure to the problems socialism causes is more socialism. They consider themselves to be Compassionate Communists.

Exactly, and like the author said, Pelosi is a gift that keeps on giving

This particular crowd are candidates for the mental ward. I say antagonize them to the maximum extent possible and maybe they'll line up down at the Washington monument for a quick trip up the elevator and out the window ~ showing us what a real Leftwingtard hissy-fit is like.

(Historical note ~ although the Lefties claim "it didn't happen", Salvadore Allende, the Communist dictator of Chile committed suicide with a machine gun rather than be taken captive by the people. I have always been of the impression these "party of death people" are usually always just one step away from a similar end ~ if they can just be induced to believe "it's the end".).

Their insanity is astonishing! I mean all of them! The WH keeps doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result and Congress follows like the intellectual midgets that they are!

They are either insane or profoundly evil.

This is all very worrisome to those who understand Marxism-Leninism.

Marx believed that democracy would lead to communist revolution. Lenin understood that it would not.

Lenin craved minority status. Only as a hard, pure, revolutionary minority could communists come to power.

And, in the Leninist modification of Marxist theory, it is only minority status that confers the right to rule. By definition, the majority (the workers) are hypnotized by "false consciousness". (Read Thomas Franks' "What's the Matter With Kansas" for a 21st Century restatement of basic Leninism).

Only when the Bolsheviks are shorn of compromisers, of non-revolutionaries seeking power for the benefits it brings, can the real revolutionary vanguard emerge and wield state power to finally smash the class enemy and bring true communism.

If the 193 Democrats in the House elect Nancy Pelosi as minority leader, it's another step closer to war. It means that they don't give a damn about 2012. It means that they reject the fundamental premise that elections confer legitimacy.

It means that they have completed their transformation into the enemy.
