Even more than that though, we should NOT have a $100 billion a year trade deficit with China...there are hungry people in India and everywhere else for that matter....

The ChiComs are, as you know, already using that particular song and dance internally, and seem to be having some little success in getting opponents, at home and abroad, as well as some international corporate clients, singing along.

In the old Soviet Union, too, when at last the regime was falling, the leftists in the press and other media almost immediately began to identify the diehard Commies as the "conservatives."

The decisive sign, however, is, in my opinion, again as with the old Soviets, when the Communists start hawking "spiritual values".

How does it go now, "I am a creme-filled jelly doughnut"? No, that's not it. Oh yeah—"Ask not what Communism can do for you, but what you can do for the Communists."
