Great posts, thanks!
However, that is not the issue here. The issue is that this thread was started in an attempt to deflect attention away from the islamic roots of terror and toward a fringe dweller's conspiracy theory that it is the left in all its forms that is the real source of the terrorism we face and that they have cleverly duped us into blaming islam.
The sound you are hearing is air blowing through the holes in your head.
"Blowing holes in your arguments is becoming to easy. By your reckoning, Spain is still a fascist state, after all, how could Franco or his party (granted he died) just leave power?"
If you want to talk about fascism, we'll talk about fascism; if you want to talk about communism, we can talk about communism...make up your mind.
Let's see, I talk about communism, you come back and "counter" with fascism...you need to seek remedial political system classes.
The former Soviet States are far from being completely free of communism.
Your problem is your assumption that communism died a quiet death.
My, but how wrong you are.
Well, we've yet to see if our system will survive. We're 250 years into it and it's not looking to stable. Half the population is leaning heavily toward socialism or out right communism. Also remember, Lincoln was a very strong leader, so was FDR who could have been a dictator, except he died and WW2 got started. It is human nature in any system to yearn for a strong government that will make things alright. Remember, after the Constitution, the Federalists attempted to pass laws outlawing criticism of the government and a limitation on the Freedom of Speech in general. Washington also used military might to crush the Whisky Rebellion, which was a revolt against taxation.
Yes, lets avoid all those inconvinient facts in your argument and anything but the narrowly defined group of facts you "allow". Sure, whatever spanky.
This character just started another thread that "proves" that we actually lost the cold war....delusional or a propagandist.
Guess what, the US is far from free of communism. There's a new statue of Lenin in Seattle. Oh and then there are the really defunct idjit nations that can't get rid of communists even one bit: N.Korea, Vietnam, Cuba. They have no excuse, definitly no examples or communism international supporting them...guess they just like their ideology.
I started a new thread on how the CIA/USA/West were duped into believing we won the Cold War by the Soviets. Specifically focuses on Golitsyn revelations, and the nasty treatment he received at the CIA.

Christian Europe survived the 1400's only because Vlad the Impaler met Mehmet the Conqueror with the 'forest of the impaled'--hundreds spikes each bearing a dead or dying Muslim soldier--and the hitherto unvanquished leader of that century's jihad turned back and went home.
To blame Muslim hill-tribes' brutality and banditry (yeah, I know it was an old communist propaganda word, but what other English word fits a culture in which kidnapping is a major industry?) on the Russian reaction to the same ignores what Muslim tribal societies are like the world over.
Tales of abuses by soldiers can be told about every army ever fielded. (we've got soldiers from Ft. Riley being charged with murder in Iraq, the Russian have the brutes reported in the article, and John the Baptist counseled Roman soldiers seeking the way of repentance not to engage in extortion. . .)
Geez!
It is indeed!
Thanks for pings, but I've just came home from work with terrible headache, and I think I'm going to be off today.
My brain is to exploited today to think how to respond and even more how to transalte it to English.

Fellas, I disagree with Luis a lot more than I agree with him (this issue being a notable exception). In fact, the sumbitch drives me nuts sometimes. However, your comments are some of the most ridiculous that I've ever read.
Luis has done more for this forum than you two ever will, and can run circles around y'all in debates. The implication that the ownership of this forum accepts bribes is offensive.
I also noticed that neither of you cheapskates appear on the FR donor list.
There is nothing hyperbole about it at all. Read up on Brzezinsky, who has written several books outlining just such a strategy for the west.

Bwwwhhhaaaaahhhaa
Perhaps "hyperbole" was an innacurate word. How about "accusatory rhetoric"?
You would look great in a burqa, you mind is already dressed up in one. Be sure to bow deep to your Moloch god named Allah
Joel, I’m curious what was/is role of Pope in your polish plot?
I'd rather not get into that subject at the moment. But I will post on that (if you'd like) after I get home from work.
