This is right out of Lenin's playbook and has been the standard rationalization for communist duplicity and murder since the October Revolution and, indeed, since the French Revolution.
We on FreeRepublic have known since before his inauguration that Barack Obama is a communist. We are not surprised that he lies but we are frustrated that we cannot make the world see that he lies nor can we make the world recognize that he is in fact a communist.
We have explored possibilities: it is the media they refused to inform the people and they distort the news to cover for Obama's lies; it is the president's race, no one wants to accuse the historic first black president of the United States of any peccadillo much less lying or subscribing to communism; it is the demographics which are so radically and rapidly changing in America which produces low information voters who robotically vote their race; it is a radical expansion of the welfare state which has caused virtually half of America devote itself the property of the other half.
Whatever the cause, we conservatives better find the cure and damn fast because it is not just Barack Obama in the Democrat party who looks fondly upon the October Revolution.
