We need the black and white words, the clear headed writing of your article.

…national security adviser to Communist Romania’s President Nicolae Ceausescu,In those days I heard that ode to change a thousand times, and today I am stunned by its similarity with the Democratic Party’s “change.”

Nothing like firsthand experience to get it right.

…the remaining Marxists of the world seem to be clamoring to see their fantasy finally come to pass: the eradication of American capitalism…The WWP website now states: “We’re independent Marxists” whose “goal is solidarity of all the workers and oppressed against this criminal imperialist system.”…Now the WWP represents itself as a “national Marxist-Leninist party promoting socialism, supporting working class struggles and lesbian/gay/bi/trans liberation, organizing protests, and denouncing racism and sexism.”

I don’t think many Americans understand the forces operating just beneath the radar, the organizations enabling & sponsoring the “occupiers”. For people like Frances Fox Piven, Billy Ayers and Van Jones, chaos in the streets marks the beginning (finally !) of the lifelong wet dream.

Marxist President Hugo Chavez of Venezuela, still recovering from surgery, recently addressed the Occupy Wall Street demonstrators via Venezuela state TV. “This movement of popular outrage” is growing because “poverty’s growing, the misery is getting worse”

I think Oogoe is aptly describing the situation in Venezuela. Reportedly, he just seized another radio station while his compadres in Cuba have undertaken a new campaign to seize private property.

I paid with two death sentences — from my native Romania — for the privilege of becoming a citizen of this unique land of opportunity, and I am incredibly proud to be an American.

And I’m incredibly proud you are :)
