"Please listen to Yuri Bezmenov, the former KGB spy. He states the **first** people lined up and shot were the Useful Idiots in the intelligentsia."

Well, I've certainly been called an idiot. But, my wife reminds me with some frequency that "I'm useless", so I should be safe.

Whew!

Surely, it shouldn’t be necessary to define, “Useful Idiot”, ( attributed to Lenin) for someone as well educated and intelligent as you seem to be.
