Speechless
Human Dignity? -- Bush wants an Ownership Society where people can stand on their own feet, without depending on hand-outs from the government in their old age.
Human life? -- Abortion, you nitwits!
Isn't that a Red Star on the boy's shirt? Is the implication that Red China could trounce the Nazis on the human rights issue?
Simply put ... they became the beeding ground for every fringe group known and some we probably aren't even aware of.
From the Communist Party right down to vegetarians.
Read "1984". Then you'll know where the liberals are headed. "Big Brother" is closer to reality if the libs get their way.
The last time the Left was on anything resembling a war footing was WWII, as Hitler was a threat to their beloved Soviet Union.
More fitting and honest symbolism for them would be a stoned history professor stomping on Old Glory.
Once I joined, I expected to get a list of names of people who were "Prisoners of Concience," and the addresses of governments I could write. All I ever received were requests for donations. Even after I wrote to AI asking for names and situations, I received a letter telling me that I could help most by simply donating more money.
It sort of soured me on the organization.

They got the picture right at least. The COWBOY (Bush, Reagan) fan (signifying us Republicans, and conservative/right-thinking Democrats) is STOMPING on Nazism, just like we've done throughout history to Communism, despotism, etc.
They became trapped in their own unwillingness to accept reality and give up their failed ideology.
I think Horowitz explains it best, but I will try to synopsise:
Marxism claimed to be scientific, and seemed reasonable when it said capitalist society would concentrate wealth in an ever smaller circle of hands until the workers revolted.
That never happened and had to be explained by a gradual widening of the gap between rich and poor, even if the poor did better in an absolute sense, resulting in a revolution.
That never happened, so a theory was devised where the rich nations got rich by stealing from the poor nations, so eventually the poor nations would revolt.
You can see how this gets further and further from reality as the leftists try to reconcile reality with a failed ideology. It gets us to where we are today, where the left supports fanatical Islamic fascists because they oppose the United States. This has to be the "Revolution" because the United States is rich and the Islamic countries are poor. Therefore the U.S. is evil and the terrorists are freedom fighters, a la Micheal Moore.
BTTT
Yet the biggest fascists are the loono-lefties. Name any policy that they admire today and it's a pretty sure bet that it was on the list of the NSDAP in the 30s. Liberals in the US and Europe made apologies for Hitler in the 30s and the only conclusion I can draw is that the policies are similar: hatred of money and those who earn it; total government control over life and "business"; the ends justifies the means, you name it.
BTTT
Undeniable truth of life:
Any organization that is not specifically Conservative or Libertarian will eventually be taken over by Liberals.
Was Apartheid really that bad? is what they have now better?
They took a thriving nation and destroyed it, before long they will slide into the same problems the Sudan has.
LOL!

Yes, Apartheid really was that bad. That's sort of like saying, "was the Jim Crow south really that bad?"
Of course things are bad today, in a totally different way. It's because for all intents and purposes, the ANC was and is a communist organization. That's the main reason that things have fallen apart there. Not due to the abolition of apartheid.
That would be sort of like asking my late grandfather, "Was the rule of the Royal Family in Russia really so bad before the revolution? Look how bad things got afterwards!" Well, it was pretty damned bad before, as well as after, in some different, and some similar ways.

Dont blame it on Communism place the blame where it belongs on Mandella. Things could have been worked out a lot better than just turning South Africa over to a murderer.
That flyer is communist propaganda. The star on the guy's shirt is all you need to see.
Sad, but true.
