U.S. Justice System more just?

JLM, here is an article about Ann Coulter's book, "TREASON", that among other things deals with Senator McCarthy. You might dismiss a book by Ann Coulter, but I would hope that you have not fallen under the mesmerizing fog of liberal falsification of history.

You might also note the reviews by various liberals, to help you to make up your mind.

Does Ann Coulter Know What She's Talking About?

 

[ironsides]

Don't think Christians, as bad as they have been have caused as many deaths over their time on this world as the communists have in the past 100 years or so..

McCarthy only "harrassed" those would be traitors, who would not have hesitated to bring that benevolent political idea to America.

In other words, people who have different political beliefs.

Much the same as some label current-day Democrats as traitors, it seems that there is little actual political freedom in the US.

No, TenPenny, not quite. Different political beliefs is between Republicans and DEmocrats. Between liberals and conservatives.

Communism is not a political belief that has any legitimacy or validity in a society that treasures freedom, individuality and dignity.

Communisn a poison that may be endorsed by unions, but not by any thinking, decent people. To paraphrase Communism's "greatest" icons, Marx and Lenin, it is an opiate of the useful idiots.

Ah, that explains much.

That is why I posted it. No more justification is required.

The only good communist is a dead communist!

YouTube - Exploding Tea Party Protester Threatens Interviewer

 

[YukonJack]

mentalfloss, for someone as lrft-leaning as you, you presented no views whatsoever about the main character in the video.

Do yo agree with him? Or the half-hearted disclaimer in the last part of the video fully satisfy your desire to be a politically correct liberal?

I posted it because that man is bat**** insane. And he sounds a lot like you. I guess the intent is good enough, but he's clearly nuts.

 

[YukonJack]

mentalfloss, you obviously never experienced the Communist opression that the angry main character in the video claims he had. You probably never had in your entire pathetic life worse than your momma take away your favourite toy.

And you have the bloody nerve to call an honestly angry, decent person "clearly nuts"?

I know the welfare program has not sank low enough to provide you with a mirror, but you desparately need one.

You put yourself in a hole that you can not hope to dig yourself out of with the presentation of this video. Keep up the good work! In time you will have earned one of the many beds reserved for liberals in the mental(floss) institution.

Who is calling Democrats traitors, they are poor misguided people maybe, but definatly not traitors. They will be shown the light, most all change with age.

 

[JLM]

JLM, Communism is Mao Tse Tung, (sixty million victims) Stalin, (six million Ukranians starved to death plus many other millions perishing in the Gulag), Pol Pot (a real gentle Communist, only two million victims), Ho Chi Minh, Che, the Castro Brothers (Several thousands in concentration Camps), not to mention the various Communist thugs in Africa.

And you are hesitant to label them evil?

McCarthy only "harrassed" those would be traitors, who would not have hesitated to bring that benevolent political idea to America.

I've been mulling this over some more Y.J. Should we be tarring all Commies with the same brush? Is it the philosophy that is evil or is it the leaders? I'm wondering if they weren't evil due more to being dictators than Communists. What you say to that Y.J.? Is Communism not more or less comparable to the old English feudal system?

 

[YukonJack]

JLM, you are wasting your time mulling over something that has been proven time and time again to be evil to the core, from Marx and Engels to any and all present day Communists.

I know we are Canadians and supposed to be fair, but that is no reason to try to deny the examples of history.

I will concede that I was wrong as soon as you show me by name any good communist and I mean one who is not your misguided union-brain-washed neighbour.

Paul Robeson?

Pete Seeger?

 

[YukonJack]

Pete Seeger was NEVER a communist.

Paul Robeson WAS, and was roundly condemned for ir by his fellow blacks in the NAACP.

I often wonder if you have even the slightest clue what you are talking about. Usually, the answer is 'no'.

In 1936, at the age of 17, Pete Seeger joined the Young Communist League (YCL), then at the height of its popularity and influence. In 1942 he became a member of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA) itself. He eventually "drifted away" (his words) from the Party in the late 1940s and 1950s.[27]

I recognize your astonishing ability to quote Wikipedia, rightfully known as the Idiots' Bible.

Where does it refer to Pete Seeger? And even if he was a Communist in his foolish youth (pardon the redundancy, but to be Communist, one has to be young or foolish or both) his success came long after he disclaimed his mistake (i.e. drifted away) and became a normal and patriotic person.

Actually Wikipedia is fairly accurate and reliable. :smile:

 

[Bar Sinister]

Quite so. In a comparison of articles between the Encyclopedia Britannica and Wikipedia both scored about the same in terms of accuracy.

You claimed he wasn't a communist.
He was, and admits it.
You never claimed that he was only a communist before he became famous. You claimed he wasn't a communist. Your claim was utterly false.
