I know a couple of Russian girls the same age as me (24) and they HATE Communism and everything associated with it.
But then you have my own German Jewish Grandmother, who escaped the Nazi's in the 40's and has acquired a considerable amount of wealth over the years.
She Would do ANYTHING for the Social Democratic Party of Germany.
If I were a German Jew who could remember the 1930's under Hitler, I would stay far away from any party that had "Socialist" in it.
But she would stay on board the Titanic if the S.D.P told her to do so.
I truly don't understand it.
They moved to NY area in the mid-eighties. Both parents are vehemently anti-left. The daughter is a screaming marxist.
I also know a very bright (but idiotic) woman of 55 whose family lost everything to Castro. Give her a glass of wine and watch the tears and anger flow. She lives in a $1.5 million home on LI's Gold Coast and makes a living day-trading.
One would expect her to be to the right of JR but she actually thinks that obamski let her down because he moved too much to the middle after getting elected.
Obamski won primarily because he appealed to the various segments in America that were ripe for an "eff-you daddy" rebellion vote.
McCain, old, white haired, hetero, grouchy white guy represented the Euro-patriarch to college students, white women, blacks, queers, latinos and any American who ever felt any degree of powerless resentment.
They voted against "daddy" in favor of "The Leader of the Pack".
Well, the Leader of the Pack got them drunk, stripped them down, took what he wanted and left them without so much as a good-night kiss. Then he went next door and f***ed their sister.
Hopefully they now want "daddy" to pick them up, heal their broken heart and make everything good again.
The Stupid! It BURNS!
So truly mislead people like that young Russian/Ecuadoran woman, your Cuban friend and even the author of this article makes me both stark raving angry and at the same time very sad.
They would be the first to the wall and They don't even know it.
