I was indoctrinated too.

It didn't stick.

I’m skeptical of this photo too, I think there is another shot with more of the surroundings.

Quibble: Van Jones is not, as per the quote, a "purported Communist". He is a Communist. Period. Signed and delivered.

Nice catch on Michelle's books. I see Nathan Glazer's 1961 hardcover, The Social Basis of American Communism.

Description here on Amazon (cold link, sorry):

We are fooling ourselves if we think that most Americans just aren't aware of Obama's PROGRESSIVE/communist agenda. Many are aware and want this 'change'.

I have to challenge that statement, esp. as regards the word "aware". If they were "aware" of Communism's body count and how those warm bodies came to turn cold, they might be of another opinion, rather like the Damascene conversion of the Trotskyites to neo-conservatives in the 1950's and 1960's.

There's something about a pickaxe as an argument for policy that tends to make a Buckleyite out of people .....

...”If they were “aware” of Communism’s body count and how those warm bodies came to turn cold, they might be of another opinion,...”

Yes, but look at the statement I was replying to.... there are those who truly believe that if communism is done “right” way, by the “right” person/administration, it can be a good thing.

I see.

Well, that's like saying, if they are saying that, that there's a "right" way to do pederasty, and sadism, and murder. And that there is such a thing as ethical antinomianism, or ethical anarchism, or ethical atheism.

"Communist in the White House."

"Right" on target. When Obama says "I am not a socialist", he's telling the absolute truth. He is a Communist, with a capital "C".

Nah. There are no communists in this administration.

It’s just that they want to raise taxes, re-distribute wealth, take over industries, increase the national debt to unsustainable levels, make the population dependent on the government, foster hatred of “greedy” and “exploitive” big business, confiscate the profits of energy companies, villify the enemies of their policies, tax the “rich”, prohibit secret votes for or against union membership,
incite class warfare, crimininalize a prior Republican administration......

but there are no communists in this administration.
