one thing I would expect Ted Kennedy and the Boston Globe editorial page to know it would be their communist literatureThat's the whole thing about American leftists. They are busy building a Socialist Paradise without having the slightest idea of the origin, history, or workings of such things.
They have a vision of Leftist Paradise in their mind and they don't take the time to check the facts regarding previous attempts to build such Paradises on earth. All of which have ended in every case in huge piles of dead human bodies.
They don't want to think about that stuff. So they don't read anything at all. Except great thinkers like Maureen Dowd and Helen Thomas.

A most disturbing thought, but true. Of course, liberals say the same thing about conservatives and Ann Coulter, but she has the virtue of being right, her biting sarcasm aside.
