I said I stand corrected, but you do have to take one show and compare. Say take O'Reilly and compare it to the other networks 8pm slots and see those totals.

No, really. It's over.

The only commies left are where, China (quickly being converted to capitalism), North Korea (failed state), and Viet Nam?

You are paranoid.

I celebrate the type of capitalism that provided the longest sustained economic expansion and growth of the largest middle class in the history of the world. You're just sore cause Reaganomics and Grover Norquist's strategy of shrinking government have completely failed us. But thanks to government spending they were at least able to save us from communism along the way. :thumb:

Riiiiiggght! Your hero and Chris Matthews' hero Saul Alinsky was a subversive prick and :puke: "community organizer," dedicated to the destruction of the U.S. Constitution.

Reagan and Norquist were key contributors to economic expansion. Anything Slick Willie accomplished economically was done standing on Reagan's shoulders, with the support of a Republican Congress.

China is not quickly being converted to capitalism. That is a myth. Just like the internet setting them free.

China's ruling elite have an iron grip on those people. They are going nowhere they don't want to go.

Well, I was feelin' sad and feelin' blue,
I didn't know what in the world I was gonna do,
Them Communists they wus comin' around,
They wus in the air,
They wus on the ground.
They wouldn't gimme no peace. . .

So I run down most hurriedly
And joined up with the John Birch Society,
I got me a secret membership card
And started off a-walkin' down the road.
Yee-hoo, I'm a real John Bircher now!
Look out you Commies!

Now we all agree with Hitlers' views,
Although he killed six million Jews.
It don't matter too much that he was a Fascist,
At least you can't say he was a Communist!
That's to say like if you got a cold you take a shot of malaria.

Well, I wus lookin' everywhere for them gol-darned Reds.
I got up in the mornin' 'n' looked under my bed,
Looked in the sink, behind the door,
Looked in the glove compartment of my car.
Couldn't find 'em . . .

I wus lookin' high an' low for them Reds everywhere,
I wus lookin' in the sink an' underneath the chair.
I looked way up my chimney hole,
I even looked deep inside my toilet bowl.
They got away . . .

Well, I wus sittin' home alone an' started to sweat,
Figured they wus in my T.V. set.
Peeked behind the picture frame,
Got a shock from my feet, hittin' right up in the brain.
Them Reds caused it!
I know they did . . . them hard-core ones.

Well, I quit my job so I could work alone,
Then I changed my name to Sherlock Holmes.
Followed some clues from my detective bag
And discovered they wus red stripes on the American flag!
That ol' Betty Ross . . .

Well, I investigated all the books in the library,
Ninety percent of 'em gotta be burned away.
I investigated all the people that I knowed,
Ninety-eight percent of them gotta go.
The other two percent are fellow Birchers . . . just like me.

Now Eisenhower, he's a Russian spy,
Lincoln, Jefferson and that Roosevelt guy.
To my knowledge there's just one man
That's really a true American: George Lincoln Rockwell.
I know for a fact he hates Commies cus he picketed the movie Exodus.

Well, I fin'ly started thinkin' straight
When I run outa things to investigate.
Couldn't imagine doin' anything else,
So now I'm sittin' home investigatin' myself!
Hope I don't find out anything . . . hmm, great God!

Nope. Young Terrier's time line is just a little more optimistic than it should be. It is not taking 50 years.

The confusion is only among liberals and moderates who do not understand the true nature and subversive objectives of "progressives."

Both of you need to go back to school.

The Over-riding fascism of the current Republican Party is far more likely to lead to a totalitarian state than the disorganized anarchy of the Democratic Party.

And we are far more likely to evolve into a Corporate State than a Communist State.

If anything, the Progressivism of the Democratic Party in the 30's killed the Communist movement in the United States. Communism is only an attractive ideal when there is a wide gap between the ruling elite and the poor of the country. The New Deal, which kept starvation and revolution out of the country, showed that you can have a Democratic Society that does not revolve around the elite.

Unfortunately, we are heading in the wrong direction - back towards concentration of wealth in a few, which WOULD lead to a revolution.

So in reality, liberalism is the only thing between the US and communism.

Not really, the agenda of liberals has widened over the years and once the goals you seek are accomplished another generation will be upon us and they'll see another problem in the economy and decide government is the best answer until the scope of government expands and expands until finally communism

Gimme a break........corporations, organized religion, and Republicans rule this country and they all watch each other's back :nod:. The only reason that Democrats have any political clout at all if because they are America's melting pot......inclusive, but utterly powerless due to divergent agendas within their own party. Blacks, Hispanics, women, gays, and others do not share the same ideals and goals in general.........while the Republican Party in general is united even though they may only constitute 35-40% of the country's population.

For the record, I want to make it clear that I don't think those who are liberal are communists, but rather the results of their goals lead to communism
