The paper remains more loyal to Communists than to this nation, hence we do not use it even to line the trash.
Just in, John Fifth-Column Kohnhead's Four Points:
Morning Phil Dragoo.
Too many of the Liberals continue to believe in the failed Communist system even today and want to bring the "Communist Paradise" to our country. IMHO, Socialism is just a stepping stone on the path to Communism.
