Point taken about Obama’s pen & phone, but Stalin & other Soviet bigwigs had lots of telephones; the number of phones on one’s desk indicated one’s power & prestige.
There were secure phones to Soviet missile command, Ve-Che phones, Vertushkas (the USSR’s first dial telephones), direct lines to regional Party chiefs, etc.
An American who saw Khrushchev’s desk said the phones gathered on it reminded him of a herd of elephants.
Anyway, communists are like crabgrass. They’ll infest our society for decades to come.
Exactly.
Very interesting. Thanks for your post.
“The sanctification of the rights of individuals and their liberties today by libertarians and Tea Party conservatives is contrary to our evolved human nature as social animals. . . . The thought that it is both rational and natural for each of us to care only for ourselves, our own preservation, and our own achievements is a treacherous fabrication.”
Hey windbag, I don’t see a reason that is wrong anywhere in this big belch. Are you one of those “It’s wrong because I don’t like it” types?
