Sandy and Christie Screwed Romney; May Be Time to Write-Off America

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

The GOP will never have another statewide candidate who openly voices such stupidity.

Can we hold you to that?

Nice to know that immigrants are welcome or unwelcome on the basis of their politics.

I can assure you that no statewide candidate will ever produce such catastrophic gaffes with respect to answering questions about abortion.

I'll hold you to that.

The views of Chavez, et al. arr diametrically opposed to the Constitution and all it stands for. Immigrants who seek freedom and opportunity are welcome; those who seek to bring communist into America are enemies to the Constitution.

Make no mistake about it: We are still at war with the parasitic ideas of communism, which are perhaps tr gravest threats to America other than terrorism.

The views of Chavez, et al. are protected by the Constitution, or at least Chavez, et al.'s rights to hold those views (or any others) are. The idea that we are still 'at war' with communism, or that communism as an abstract concept (as opposed to a no-longer-existent bevy of countries whose governments believed in it) is something that the United States can be 'at war' with, is of course ludicrous. The Constitution also isn't a sacred text; it's an eighteenth-century political document with a couple dozen later fixes and all the baggage that that history entails.

Hispanics who seek freedom and opportunity are embraced by the GOP. Those who bow to Chavez, Guevara and Castro are enemies of freedom and opportunity, the basis of America.

So, the Republican Party likes Hispanics who are Republican. Good to know!

Are you seriously trying to gin up a third Red Scare? That would be funny if it weren't so sad.

EDIT: While we're at it, how dare somebody who suggests 'writing off America' in the thread title and OP impugn anybody else's patriotism? I'm serious. How dare you, you sniveling fifth-column mammonist?

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Truly a sobering sign of the times for us all.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

my story is much like Sheldon Adelson's

See, that does not inspire confidence.

We'll personally destroy the communists for what they have done to America. They may yet get their wish of the destruction of America, but they will go down first.

Aye-aye, Cap'n Ahab.

Let me just ask you this, pursuant to the Red-baiting and talk of personally destroying people. Politico, do you, in fact, believe in freedom of speech?

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

for me it's the destruction of morality that used to be observed in this country. I look forward to many long years of being surrounded by a hippie free-love sex culture where all politicians make ads telling people voting for them is like having sex That's how I read the "forward" slogan.

LOL! People who like you are dying out, thank God

Your signature helps TJ's case as much as it does yours.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

TJ is a good guy, and I have a lot of respect for him as a person, but obviously not the views he expresses.

As far as I'm concerned, a more inclusive society is a stronger and more cohesive one. I understand where he comes from with these views, it's a religious fear of sex and sexuality  Which usually gets mangled in some kind of hyperbolic analysis not entirely based on reality. As far as I'm concerned, sex, whether practiced or not, is one of the few genuinely common experiences of people. Controlling it has been a long-used way of controlling the populous... I think it's wrong and gives people a bad idea about sex and its role.

I can't necessarily speak for TJ here, but my concern isn't with sex itself, which is more or less fine and can be an equalizer of sorts if we want to look at it that way (which is a lot healthier than most other ways I'm aware of), so much as the social complexes built up around it, which have given me an appreciation for the idea of discretion (equally-applied discretion, though!) and tact about the whole thing.

I have a religious fear of a lot of things, but fear isn't the word I'd use regarding sex.

I believe in freedom of speech. Like I said, these professors will be free to speak their mind from the unemployment line. Unlike in communist nations, they will also be free to emigrate.

That said, the days of taxpayers footing the bill for Marxist ideology/brainwashing are coming to an end. Everybody carries a smart phone in their pocket that is capable of recording this rubbish. Everybody is capable of anonymously uploading this garbage, too. There will be coordinated covert efforts to bring to light what is happening. Taxpayers are going to be repulsed to learn what some people in academia have been doing to America's youth the last couple of decades. Heads will roll in the figurative sense. If something cannot go on forever, it will stop. This organic, yet uncoordinated, brainwashing cannot go on forever therefore it will stop.

America is the land of freedom and opportunity, not the land of communist slavery and stagnation.

As somebody who's currently in academia, your apparent mental image of it has little basis in reality. The sorts of people who go into majors inundated with notably and vocally leftist professors weren't going to vote for Republican mammonism and bad-faith patriotism anyway.

Thank you, politicus. I should also point out that it's a blatantly obvious absolute monarchy to anyone paying attention, which is about as un-communist on the theoretical level as it's possible to get.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Simfan, I appreciate how you're obviously serious and obviously kidding at the same time. I like that about you.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Unfortunately, Politico is completely right. I do think a Communist threat is alive and well. It is pervasive, not only in academia, but the business world, in politics, in the military. I would not be surprised if the whole scandal with Gen. Petraeus is the official coverup of a communist power play.

Believe it or not, this country has been overrun by Communists, Socialists, and Anarchists, but this time they've truly inflitrated the highest levels of academia and government. One should only look here from my view point in the Kremlin on the Hudson, and see the Communism is truly rampant amongst the student body and the faculty, that I would say some two thirds of my peers adhere to either Communism, Socialism, or Anarchism. The economics department is perhaps the only bulwark of common sense. I would not be surprised, ludicrous as it sounds, that the large amount of Ivy Leaguers in the business world today are in fact a mass infiltration, a third column designed to collectivize and overthrow it once the signal for Revolution is given. It is a long time coming, let us not forget that the red flag itself flew over Morningside Heights in 1967. Where did these radicals go? Let us also not forget that our very Attorney General, Eric Holder, was one of the hostage takers in 1967!!

Let us not underestimate the detrimental value of the defeatists and the cosmopolitans, those who wish to see the acendance of Socialistic states like China and Russia, people, again who seem perfectly normal and esteemed, like Fareed Zakaria the plagiarist and Thomas Friedman, who preach that we should just live with the rise of China. These people have infltrated our society and esteemed institutions like the Council on Foreign Relations. I have been there! I have seen those defeatist Communists! So sadly the threat is very real, and omnipresent in all sectors in our society. We need a national reaction to flush them out. We should be greatful to Poltico for speaking out.

Yes, we need a national enema. Eventually the next Ronald Reagan will appear to rid us of those who seek to destroy America. There will be hell to pay.

Politico, I don't appreciate how you obviously believe this tripe with all your heart. I don't like that about you.

I am not interested in coddling communists. There is no shortage of communists in America, regardless of whether many communists self-identify. Simfan knows it, I know it, you know it, and everybody else knows it. It is time to start discussing what is really happening in America, particularly in the hallowed halls of educational establishments across the country. Tens of millions of minds have been destroyed by the work of these communists, and the nation will not survive if we do not change course...

Really? My mind's actually a lot stronger after exposure to Marx than it was before, although I was also exposed to large doses of Christian and Buddhist theology starting at more or less the same time. It's a good mix, and certainly a more robust and instinctually compassionate set of thoughts than the offerings of such mediocre souls (if talented minds) as Mises or Hayek.

And, well, there are communists and then there are communists, but you wouldn't know anything about that.

Clever inversion, there.

Thank you.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

The days of differentiating are over.

I can't think of any reason why that should be the case.

Accommodationist seventies Eurocommunists or Marxist historians whose perception of the world currently around them is mostly theoretical should obviously not be as objectionable as brutal Stalinist dictators, even to people who consider the whole lot objectionable on general principle.
