Don't add to the problem! Anything crazy you make up, there's some dumb fucker out there who will believe it. Someone will honestly believe that commies are genetically incapable of religion and therefore don't have souls or something. If they don't have a soul, they aren't really people right?

Hey, isn't Obama a communist?

Bah education means nothing with those sissy liberals in their ivory towers they dont have APPLICABLE knowledge like I do working the hardware store.
All it means is that the marxists in higher education are successfully indoctrinating students into their line of thinking, no wonder they would vote for Obama.

Even Dick Cheney's saying it

"Former Vice President Dick Cheney told POLITICO that Obama was advertising “weakness.”

...

But critics call Obama’s outstretched hand a miscalculation. Cheney said: "There is no reason for an American president to bow to anyone. Our friends and allies don't expect it, and our enemies see it as a sign of weakness.""

Received this, which is completely identical to this blog post:

http://usconstitutionalfreepress.wordpress.com/2010/05/22/the-new-deal-as-revolution/

quote:

Whittaker Chambers had a secret. He had worked in the American Communist underground for most of the 1930s. His break from that underground had been hazardous; he hid his family for quite some time before surfacing. When he did, his unique writing talent earned him a place at Time magazine, where he eventually rose to be one of its senior editors.

In 1939, with the outbreak of WWII, Chambers decided he needed to inform the FDR administration of what he knew about those currently working in the underground. Through an intermediary, he obtained an interview with Adolf Berle, the Assistant Secretary of State in charge of security. During his evening with Berle, Chambers disclosed a long list of individuals who could be threats to the country during a war that he sensed the U.S. would eventually have to enter.

Berle seemed alarmed by the revelations. Chambers was relieved that now the truth would come out. Yet when Berle took this information to FDR, he was rudely dismissed—FDR didn’t care.

When Chambers finally realized the administration was apathetic to the traitors in its midst, he had to reassess what he knew of FDR and his policies. In his classic autobiography, Witness, he describes how this rebuff affected him:

And with astonishment I took my first hard look at the New Deal. . . . All the New Dealers I had known were Communists or near-Communists. None of them took the New Deal seriously as an end in itself. They regarded it as an instrument for gaining their own revolutionary ends. I myself thought of the New Deal as a reform movement that, in social and labor legislation, was belatedly bringing the United States abreast of Britain or Scandinavia.

What shocked Chambers was that he recognized for the first time that the New Deal was far more than a reform movement. It was ”a genuine revolution, whose deepest purpose was not simply reform within existing traditions, but a basic change in the social, and, above all, the power relationships within the nation.”

This “revolution” was not taking the same form as the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia, but its effect was just as sinister:

It was not a revolution by violence. It was a revolution by bookkeeping and lawmaking. In so far as it was successful, the power of politics had replaced the power of business. This is the basic power shift of all the revolutions of our time. This shift was the revolution.

Chambers was quite prescient in this analysis. American historians have long noted that in the last half of the nineteenth century, presidents played second fiddle to business leaders. This never sat well with progressives. Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson made strides in the shift to power politics, but they suffered a setback in the 1920s under Harding and Coolidge, who were ingrained with the principles of self-government and sanctity of private property.

Then came the Depression and all the wonders that government could perform to ease the plight of the American people. Chambers saw that even though the New Deal was not an overt socialist/communist ploy, it worked in tandem with that philosophy. New Dealers, most of whom would have never considered themselves either socialists or communists, were, due to their progressive policies, fellow-travelers. As Chambers explains,

Thus men who sincerely abhorred the word Communism, in the pursuit of common ends found that they were unable to distinguish Communists from themselves, except that it was just the Communists who were likely to be most forthright and most dedicated in the common cause.

Critics of Witness often howled at Chambers’s association of liberals with socialists and communists. He doesn’t know what he’s talking about, they cried. Yet Chambers put his own reputation on the line giving his witness before Congress in 1948, as he testified in the landmark Alger Hiss case. He knew, from personal experience, that the difference between liberalism and communism was in degree only: both put their faith in man and rejected faith in God; therefore, they shared a common worldview.

Chambers summarized the symbiotic relationship quite nicely:

Every move against the Communists was felt by the liberals as a move against themselves. . . . The Communists were fully aware of their superior tactical position, and knew that they had only to shout their innocence and cry: “Witch hunt!” for the liberals to rally in all innocence to their defense.

Some things don’t change: we are still undergoing a revolution by bookkeeping and lawmaking, and we continue to hear the snarls of “witch hunt” whenever this revolution is challenged. What we need now is the same tenacity shown by Chambers. He completed his “witness.” What will we do?

I have a totally unrelated question, but I figure here is as good a place on the forums as any to ask it.

Sometimes when people post pictures, like the one quoted, I see them with a thin red border, and they can't be clicked on for enlargement, even though it's obvious they're not at full size in the thread.

What's up with that, and how can I see the image at its proper size?

It's interesting to note how often torture completely fails in 24. The first guy Jack tortures dies of heart failure without giving up the information he needs, Jack and several other CTU agents resist torture quite effectively (Jack actually dies under torture), he tortures a little blond girl in series 2 and she gives him false information (he figures out she's lying, but not by torturing her).

Sometimes it works, as on Roger Stanton in series 2 (he gives up the information too late for it to be any use and in any case can't act on his confession because he's cut contact with his agents) or when Jack pretends to shoot the family of a terrorist (note here the threat of violence is more effective than violence itself).

The myth that 24 promotes torture is an interesting one, because the overwhelming impression both from watching the show and reading about it (check the first page of google results for "torture in 24" to see the overwhelming consensus) is that it does, and yet even a cursory analysis of the actual plot shows it doesn't.
24 never promoted a single message on torture, and I think you can make a good arguement that the first season ignored torture (except the threat of it) and the second season was largely critical of it. However by season 4 a terrorist literally phones up a sniveling little lawyer for Amnesty Global and sends him to CTU to stop Jack from torturing a guy to give up information on the terrorist, of course this fails and Jack breaks his fingers and gets the info.

Change it to "had more American citizens assassinated" and it should be correct.

Yo I heard there were communists in OWS

The Communist Revolution, Unions, #OWS & ‘The Power of the 99% in 2012′…
November 23rd 2011

Not that this should be surprising since Marxists have been behind and involved with in the #OccupyWallSt movement since Day One http://www.laborunionreport.com/portal/2011/09/occupywallst-just-a-saturday-stroll-through-the-park/ when the September protests began, but the Neo-Coms in the unionized #OWS movement are now getting more formal advice from their philosophical mentors, the Communist Party USA.

In a lengthy post about the importance of the 2012 on the Communist Party USA’s website, Connecticut Communist leader—and friend http://www.trevorloudon.com/2011/09/rep-rosa-delauro-still-hangin-with-the-connecticut-communists/ of Rep. Rosa DeLauro [D-CT]—Joelle Fishman spends the bulk of her time bashing Republicans, the “right wing” and the Tea Party while going into some detail about the CPUSA’s strong ties to the union movement http://cpusa.org/the-power-of-the-99-in-201/ in Connecticut.

Below are excerpts, not in specific order, of the Communist leader’s lengthy post http://cpusa.org/the-power-of-the-99-in-201/ .

The doors are wide open in every community for 2012 with nationally coordinated grass roots work by labor and by the American Dream movement as a whole.

This election will be decided by the number of doors knocked on, the number of conversations held, the number of voters who are inspired to become a part of this movement and make a difference.

Where we have clubs that are focused on a neighborhood, door to door election work is made to order as a way to bring out the vote and build a club base. In the example I mentioned, we coordinated our participation through the labor movement. It all started with door knocking to find out what the concerns of the voters were in that ward, and it went from there. And don’t forget to bring voter registration cards along!

If there is a new club, or even if there is just an individual comrade in that area, the excitement of participating with the unions in an election campaign is really great. You are making a stronger labor movement and you are giving voice to the community, and you are helping to win all at the same time.

While many Americans understand that America’s future will rest on the outcome of the 2012 election, Communist leader Fishman spells it out for her Communist readers:

The 2012 elections are a pivotal moment for the direction of our country. If we veer backward it will be a giant setback for the newly emerging social movements and developing class consciousness in our country. It will make the crisis of every day living even worse, and foreign policy even more aggressive.

On the other hand, if the most heartless, inhumane sections of monopoly capital are delivered a blow, the conditions will be improved to raise the level of political independence and organization

In this way, the 2012 election is the immediate struggle that can move the process forward for fundamental change, for bill of rights socialism. As one of our state committee members in Connecticut likes to say: “The revolution isn’t somewhere down the road. The revolution is now and here in what we are doing.”

Of course, we’re told that the #OWS movement is just a ‘spontaneous’ outpouring of anger by ordinary Americans.

Yeah, right…

Call me fanatical or a conspiracy theorist but Obama’s recent executive orders sound like just what Hitler did to take complete control of Germany!! Read them below:


*EO 13603 allows the President to “nationalize” all private assets, country’s industrial and technological base, and critical resources.

*EO 11002 designates the Postmaster General to operate a national registration of all persons.

*EO 11003 allows the government to take over all airports and aircraft, including commercial aircraft.

*EO 11004 allows the Housing and Finance Authority to relocate and establish new locations for populations.

*EO 11005 allows the government to take over railroads, inland waterways, and public storage facilities.
