SEIU drops mask, goes full commie
A May Day rally in Los Angeles, co-sponsored by the SEIU and various communist groups, as well as other unions, reflected yet another step in the normalization of self-identified communist and socialist ideologies in the Obama era. Not only did the SEIU help to organize the rally in conjunction with communists, they marched side-by-side with communists, while union members carried communist flags, communists carried union signs, and altogether there was no real way to tell the two apart.
Southern California citizen journalist and photographer “Ringo” was on hand to record the day’s events, and posted a full-length photo essay on his site Ringo’s Pictures. To bring this important photo essay to a wider audience, I present here a small selection of Ringo’s May Day pictures; visit his site to see dozens more photos from the rally.
When I tell people that public political rallies are more and more being led by communists and socialists, most folks simply don’t believe me. Aw, come on, you’re just giving decent protesters an extreme label, they say. No, actually, I’m not: The communists freely and proudly declare their affiliation.
And the SEIU has no problem marching arm-in-arm with them.
“Smash Capitalism” is a slogan the SEIU apparently endorses — or at least doesn’t mind marching behind.
In case you think the SEIU is some peripheral out-of-the-mainstream organization:
The SEIU devoted $28 million to Obama’s campaign, making the SEIU “the organization that spent the most to help Barack Obama get elected president.” Furthermore, who is Obama’s favorite White House guest and one of his closest confidants?
The individual who has visited the Obama White House the most: SEIU President Andy Stern, who has visited 53 times.
Obama is closely linked with the SEIU.
The SEIU is closely linked with communists.
You do the math.
Did I say communists? Sorry, I meant Communists (with a capital “C”).
Note how the Communists that day (like the women on the right in this photo) carried solid red flags symbolizing their ideology. Keep that in mind as you view the next photo…
One of the SEIU leaders picked up a Communist flag and led a contingent of rank-and-file SEIU members. Everyone was OK with that.
The way you can identify the SEIU members in all these pictures: They’re the ones in purple t-shirts carrying blue-and-yellow signs.
So, as you can see, the communists and the union members intermingled as the march progressed.
In case you were wondering what the SEIU was saying during all of this, here’s a video of the SEIU chanting “Legalization or REVOLUTION!” Clear enough?
And it wasn’t just the SEIU at the march — other “normal” unions like the AFL-CIO were on hand as well.
There were plenty of teachers’ unions attending too, and they brought along many of their public school students for some good old-fashioned communist indoctrination, as this video shows.
Most of the idiots in the US who walk around with Che buttons or Che shirts do so simply because they foolishly think he’s “cool.” These hardcore communists carry his image not because he’s “cool,” but because he was one of the most radical revolutionaries who ever lived. Right up there with Lenin, apparently.
In order to have a more “civil dialogue” with their political opponents, the marchers made a puppet of a demonic Statue of Liberty aligned with the “Tea Bag Party.”
OK, I guess Hitler comparisons are off the table for now — too many people have called it taboo. So what’s second best? The Devil!
Tell me the honest truth: If the Tea Party had marched in a rally behind a banner held up by fascists or neo-Nazis, don’t you think it would have been national news? But the nation’s biggest Obama-supporting political organization marched behind banners like these, and not a peep about it in the media. Hmmmm….
Until recently, the average American has regarded fascists and communists as equally noxious and equally malignant. As well they should have. But the drive these days by the left side of the spectrum is to make communism and socialism somewhat less remarkable and more palatable. For two years they angrily denied the Tea Party accusation that Obama’s policies and supporters had a socialist bent. But in recent months, as the accusation had started to gain traction, the new leftist tactic has become: “What’s so bad about socialism after all? You’re demonizing a very popular and respectable ideology!”
“Imposin’ crime”??? That’s an interesting spin I’d never seen before: “Hey America, it’s your fault we’re criminals!”
The never-ending quest to become king-of-the-hill in the victimology sweepstakes. The higher your victimhood status, the more politically successful you will be!

UPDATE:
In case you aren’t quite aware of just how close our current president is to the SEIU, here’s Barack Obama speaking at an SEIU rally on January 15, 2008:
Barack Obama: “Everybody: There’s not a presidential candidate, a gubernatorial candidate, a congressional candidate, who won’t tell ya, that they’re pro-union, when they’re looking for their endorsements. They’ll all say, ‘Oh we love SEIU.’ But the question you gotta ask yourself is, do they have it in their gut, do they have a track record of standing alongside you on picket lines? Do they have a track record of going after the companies that aren’t letting you organize? Do they have a track record of voting the right way? But also helping you organize to build more and more power?
And some of you know I come from an organizing background, so — I’ve been working with the SEIU before I was elected to anything. When I was a community organizer, SEIU Local 880 and myself we organized people, to make sure that healthcare workers had basic rights; we organized voter registration drives, that’s how we built political power on the South Side of Chicago….and now the time has come for us to do it all across this country, and then we’ll paint the nation purple, with SEIU!
I would not be a United States Senator had it not been for the support of your brothers and sisters in Illinois. Those folks, they supported me early, they supported me often. I’ve got my purple windbreaker from my campaign in 2004.
And so, we’ve just got, what, four more days? Four more days of knocking on some doors. Four more days of working the precinct. Four more days of making sure all your co-workers are caucusing.
SEIU, I am glad you are with me, let’s together change the country! SEIU! SEIU! SEIU! SEIU! SEIU!”
Everybody wants to be “the new Jews”—except for, you know, the whole thing of having to abide by the tenets of a moral code and being on the receiving end of actual genocide.
Basically, they want to be “the new Jews” as marketed by this season’s Urban Outfitters, or something.
Does their definition of “latinos” not include Cuban Americans? The ones I know despise Communism and its “tools” like only those who lived under it can.
Back in the ’60s I shared an office with an engineer from Cuba. He came to work one morning really shaken. He said that that his father, who had recently gotten out of Cuba, saw two men in uniform coming up the walk. Terrified, he hid under the bed and stayed there until his son came home. It turned out that they were volunteer firemen raising funds for special rescue equipment. Guillermo said, “All I know is that they had him in La Cabaña. (a fortress prison overlooking Havana harbor) Ernie, he won’t tell me what they did to him.”
Here’s a somewhat similar true story — more lighthearted, but also sadder in some ways:
I became friends with a woman who had grown up in China. She had lived through the Cultural Revolution and every repressive phase since.
She eventually managed to get a visa and escaped to the US, vowing never to return.
Once here, she got an apartment, and tried to begin a middle-class life. But she found it almost impossible — she was gripped with terror every day.
Why?
Well, she’d go to the mailbox and get the mail, and it would contain adverising flyers that said things like, “COME ON DOWN and buy a new mattress at 30% off!” She’d look at the flyer and understand it in totalitarian terms: She felt that if she didn’t obey the orders contained in the flyer, she would be detained, imprisoned, even tortured. “COME ON DOWN” was not a suggestion, it was a command — something she was very familiar with. She didn’t need or want a new mattress, but fearing for her life, she obeyed the command and went down and bought one.
Then at home she’d turn on the TV and there would be commercials like “Taste the new Burrito Supreme at Taco Bell!” She didn’t understand that it was optional. She thought it was an order from the government that must be obeyed. So she dutifully trooped out and bought a Burrito Supreme, even though she hated Mexican food.
And on and on it went. Life became a nightmare for her here: She had become so used to government dictates telling her what to do, that she was totally unfamiliar wit the concept of of free will and freedom of choice. When someone told her to something, she always assumed it was compulsory; to resist the command was to break the rules.
Every interaction with the American consumerist culture was a nightmare for her. Competing dictatorial demands telling her what to do, where to go.
I once discovered her sobbing, practically in a fetal position. She said she just couldn’t afford to follow the American rules any more. She had to go back to China.
When I explained to her that it was all optional, she didn’t need to buy these things, she didn’t believe me at first. When I finally convinced her, it was like the sky opened up for her after a lifetime of rain.
With all due respect, that woman had mental problems far beyond mere perception. Nuts is nuts in any country.
Zombie,I sailed costwise off an on several years ago and twice we picked Cubans out of the Gulf stream. The first was two men on a truck inner tube and the second was two men and a woman on a raft of three inner tubes and 1 X 4s. The second group was already past the point of making landfall. This was no pleasure trip and yet your pictures show people that are in bondage and don’t know it
Re the Chinese refugee account by Zombie: this explains some of the Progressive Decay brought to San Francisco. Newly naturalized citizens receive from agents who speak their native Chinese dialect “instruction” about who deserves their vote. How clever!
Yes, and the Cubans I know say that they see the same things happening here as happened in Cuba, just before the Communists took over. They are afraid for America, love America and Capitalism, and hate communism. They all warn that we’d better wake up before it’s too late. I’m a native Floridian; and we’ve heard about the evils of communism from Cubans since the early sixties here. No one who has ever escaped communism wants to be under it again.
why are their eyes covered; and why the hell aren’t at work; are they living on the dole? 60 yrs. ago the gov. was rooting out communists. now the “anointed one” is supporting them
I don’t recall that the Jews snuck into the US by the million, took advantage of our laws and demanded that we turn over massive chunks of our territory to them. In fact, I seem to recall that they mostly entered legally, set up legal businesses, kept their heads down and generally contributed more to society than they took out.
If ONLY the “Latinos” were the Jews of the 21st Century!
Gotta disagree with you slightly on this Jason. American Jews are passionately communist/marxist/socialist or whatever. Some of our worst spies have been Jews. Many of our worst home-grown terrorists were Jews.
Jews have turned our legal system upside down. Jews have held a 50 year crusade against Christians and Catholics here in America. Jews are always in the forefront of something anti-American or at least anti-majority American i.e. Zinn, Chomsky, Alinsky, etc. Take a look at how many anti-American jewish professors there are on today’s campuses.
Jews, progressivism and communism all go hand-in-hand.
Correlation is not causation, anti-semite.
The joke’s on you, anyhow. Jews were also historically in the lead of capitalism for a quite a long time; due to Christianity’s foolish hostility to moneylending/interest, Jews were ahead of the curve in building banks to finance the Industrial Revolution. This is why, pre-Hitler, anti-semitism was prevalent on the Left as much as on the (fascist, in Europe) right, and where the stereotype of the penny-pinching Jew comes from.
After Hitler, of course, the Left was forced to clean up their act; they edited their conspiracy theories to remove the “Jewish” before each use of the word “banker”. That has long been the differentiator between Leftist and non-Leftist conspiracy theories, though over the last decade or so it’s been breaking down as racism slowly returns to the Left.
The underlying truth is simply that Jews have often been in the intellectual vanguard of the West, in both its move towards liberty and its move away from it. About all that tells you is that Jews are well-educated, and as such may serve as a sort of bellweather.
While I agree that blotto needed a slap on the wrist, I would add a clarification:
before ww2, “the Left” was by no means a synonym for socialism.
There is much evidence about this that I have been collecting, but suffice it to say that, in the Dreyfus affair, the Right was **by definition** the anti-Dreyfusards, ie the ruling-class antisemites; and the socialists, being both anti-ruling class and antisemites, kept a strict neutrality in this affair:
http://www.paulbogdanor.com/antisemitism/geltman.pdf
So the socialists were neither Right nor Left: they were a third way, as Mussolini said of fascism later on.
See also The Road to Serfdom: Hayek uses the words “Left” and “Right” only in the Introduction and chapters 3, 12, 13. In all cases, it is pretty clear (to me at least) that he viewed the dichotomy socialism/free market as orthogonal to Left/Right, the latter having to do with democracy, freedom of speech, and internationalism: not with economic policy (not directly, that is).
I would not call a 29% money lending rate capitalism. I call it usury. The guy you replied to gave you very specific examples of Jews having a great negative effect on freedom, but you disregard that. Look at the list of the bank executives involved in the past economic crashes as well as the recent one. You can only deny any connection because you choose to.
Don’t confuse and conflate all Christians with the excesses of the Roman Catholic church. Big differences. Also, Catholics are more likely to be liberal than Protestants. You still have to factor in regional differences too…. since we are into generalizations.
Islamic teaching hates usury, aka interest too. For good reason… as we’ve progressed, we’ve learned it’s not moral to take advantage of people’s poverty and need for ‘loans’. Socialism is based on collective good, while CAPITALism, but no surprise is about individual good and wealth accrual. That’s greedy, not natural, but inherently, understandably immoral, across different cultures and times, providing for the COMMON-WELFARE is clearly the best, most fair and moral mode of distribution.
I’m Jewish, served in the IDF,NRA member and qualified firearms instructor, member of a national conservative motorcyle group, vote conservative, and have a concealed handgun license.
You, on the other hand, are a bigoted, undereducated moron.
And, if you never suffered from polio, you’re welcome.
Ever heard of Milton Friedman? David Horowitz? Michael Medved?
Take your “Jews are Commies” crap and put it where the sun don’t shine.
It’s common knowledge that not every German was Nazi, some – like Willy Brandt ex-chancellor – fought against them valiantly.
The greatest German souls and minds openly denounced the National Socialism without mincing words: remember Marlene Dietrich who never returned to Germany or Erich Maria Remarque (Everything is quiet on the Western front)
Unfortunately they were no like-minded prominent Jewish leaders who had the moral fortitude to criticize the leading role that Jewish intellectuals and money men played in promoting the Communist ideology.
Denial is the rule of the thumb.
They went even as far as to prohibited the English language translation of A. Solzhenitsyn’s historical account on the Bolshevik revolution, titled
“Two Hundred Years Together”.
Only French and German translation exist: Zweihundert Jahre zuzammen and Deux siecle ensemble.
Nobody denies the positive role that Jewish scientists played in supporting America like E. Teller (H-bomb) and the Manhattan Project scientists.
The majority of the political echelon – which is radical leftists – are the subject of our criticism.
I’ve got to reply here, even though I know you wont like it. First let me say I support Israel and the Jewish people. I am a Christian and we are the grafted work of God into the Branch which is Jesus, who was the completion God’s plan of salvation that he entrusted to Abraham, Isaac, and Moses.
Having said that I will undoubtedly excite sensitive people who say “because of what the Jews have gone through in history, you cannot say anything about any of them, not about Marx, Soros, LaSalle, the Rothchilds, not any.” Well I don’t agree. Marx was the reason we have these jerks marching for Communism, Soros is the reason we have Obama as president, and LaSalle was Bismarck’s right hand man, reforming Germany to socialism. The Rothchilds are responsible for creating the system of credit dependency that has crippled the world today.
The problem is, like any etnicity, you have good and bad. By disallowing criticism you protect the bad. There is a differentiation with Jews: First you have the ethnic Jews, they are Jews by birth but don’t practice their religion, some are great people and some are liberal, acceptiong the liberal religion of socialism. Then you have the religious Jews, some are great people but some are so wrapped up in the law that they miss the blessings. And then you have the completed Jews. Ones who have received Messiah Jesus. They are a blessing to everyone because they are the complete deal. The whole story of God’s salvation and forgiveness. The physical Chosen People and the Spiritual regeneration to God’s Kingdom.
God Bless.
Malinse: Bismarck wasn’t a socialist. He adopted the welfare state to give “the worker” something to lose.
You Do know that both Medvid AND Horowitz were RABID Leftists before they became more sane don’t you?
You tell ‘em Biker…I know quite a few jews…ALL hardcore conservatives (but that may be because I am not very friendly with those who aren’t)
Amen, Biker! If this moron, blotto, has any shred of decency, s/he’ll apologize.
Say what you want about the Jews, you gotta admit they got some great lookin’ chicks. :: ))
Some Jews are at the forefront of protecting freedom better than anyone. See JFPO.com (JFPO = Jews For the Preservation of Firearm Ownership). It makes the NRA look liberal. Great group (and you don’t have to be Jewish to join)
Amen, Biker. I couldn’t agree with you more, or have said it better.
An interesting and neglected aspect of the Jewish role in spawning Marxism is that the Jewish capitalists are the chief financiers of the Bolshevik revolution.
We don’t have to go back to the N.Y. banker, Jacob Schiff’s time – he was Lenin’s financier, – we’d better take a look at the Obama supporters of our time:
Soros, Pritzker (Hilton), Marion & Herbert Sanders, (WaMu) Drummond Pike (Tides), Peter Lewis (Progressive ins.) Steve Bing…they represent the ubiquitous Jewish Capital: supplier of the fuel for the unstoppable neo-Communist transformation of America.
Say that to me in person, and I’ll put my conservative Jewish fist so high up the far end of your digestive tract, you’ll need dental work.
While I disagree with their blanket assessment, I can understand where the POV comes from. I know a lot of American Jewish people, and every single one of them is very, very far left. I volunteer for a local Jewish community center when they have pro Israel events, and I can’t tell you some of the conversations I’ve had and overheard. I have yet to encounter one that is even the slightest bit right of center (or even center at all).
You’re SO tough. I’m SO scared. blah, blah, blah
Why are you getting upset over examples? All people are guilty of this crime or that crime throughout history, but we have to look at the over reaching effect on humanity of those crimes.
Nice threat Conservative Jew, you’re an anonymous coward….The jews occupying Israel today are, as are you, the spawn of Satan. 2nd only to the followers of Islam.
Mr. Conservative Jew. What the European says if true. Trotsky himself carried 20 million in cash to Russia from the US. There is plenty written on this. Google
That you would even entertain the idea of sticking your fist into the rectum of another person demonstrates how twisted your mind is. Sodomizing anyone with your arm is despicable, even if it’s an empty threat. I can disagree with liberals (or conservatives, or even fellow libertarians) without resorting to physical harm of any sort, but most especially without such a perverted suggestion as that expressed by you. Try and think of something more civil next time, possibly an intelligent debate on the topic. You just embarrassed yourself with this inanity…
So if the SEIU is “full communist” because they walked in a parade with others who are communists, does that make Pajamas Media full anti-semites because you associate yourselves with blotto?
FAIL.
I was gonna say “nice try,” but it didn’t even rise to that level.
If it swims like a fish, hangs around with fish, acts like a fish, then it is a fish. Yes, SEIU is Communist. Look at their mailers. Across the top of the envelope is “Worker of the World Unite!” Is that not the Communist motto? They are not only marching, they are actively promoting the overthrow of our system. Enemies of our nation they are. Seek them out and destroy them. Communism Never!
To follow up on what TR said. Isn’t it uncanny that the least productive and least deserving, i.e. the marchers in the above pictures, are the ones who will embrace a system like communism, that promises a way to get other peoples money by taking it away through the government, JUST FOR MARCHING AROUND LIKE A BUNCH OF MONKEYS! And I don’t say they are undeserving and non-productive because they are poor perhaps a minority. I say it because they are low-life communist scum. And they will believe the lie of Marx if it means they can get something they never earned by becoming a mob.
“…Christians and Catholics…”
Ha ha. Catholics are Christians. The original ones. The ones who brought y’all the Bible. The others? Splitters, all of ‘em.
Excuse me, but the Catholics were not the original Christians. The Jewish believers, especially the Apostles, were the first believers, from the beginning. The Catholic church didn’t coming into being until the second century when they got control of a number of small churches. They teaching was somewhat different from what Jesus and the Apostles were teaching.
@Micha Elyi. With all due respect, I’m sure you’re a very fine Catholic. But a bit of non-revisionist history might be in order. The Catholics were not the original Christians. After the Romans realized their murdering of Christians was a failure, and the more they murdered, the more became Christians, then plan B went into effect. Compromise with the godpel and “allow” them to practice their religion under the authority of the government, and they will compromise with you. And voila, you have your Catholics. And the marriage of politics and religion. But as expected, the Catholic leaders became corrupt and so did their religion, (not Christian at this point, but a world system). If the “Splitters”, as you call them, Luther, Calvin, and others, hadn’t brought attention to the heresy in the Catholic Church, they might never have reformed and they would be still selling “indulges” and handing out Cardinal Hats to Princes.
I suspect some of you do not know what the word Catholic means. Nonetheless, carry on.
blotto,
You state: “Jews have held a 50 year crusade against Christians and Catholics here in America.” You turn the truth inside out. There has been NO crusade by Jews against Christians and Catholics! The terrible truth is that the apostate church has great guilt when it comes to Jewish innocents – mass murder of Jews, Crusades, Inquisitions, vicious lies, blood libels. Jews were repeatedly driven out of Europe. Finally culminating in the Holocaust. The vicious lies and blood libels against Jews continue unabated.
Thank you, Linda, for stating the truth publicly. I wish your comment had a wider readership.
Yes! We have geately changed our tune tho, no?
The modern day does not tolerate this.
I think Muslims are given too much af a pass. A lot of the snti-semetic actions in Europe now are Muslim immigrants but the press gives them a pass.
SEIU – was in this union mandatory before retirement. They got us 13 paid holidays plus 3 personal days. 16 days off in addition to vacation time.
Only paid 15? toward health insurance. It is a bit excessive.
You are correct on all counts, except the one about Christians and Catholics. However, none of it negates the fact that the majority of Jews came to the US legally, contributed beneficially to society, educated their children without government assistance etc. etc. They did not break into the US such as we are witnessing along the border in CA, AZ, TX, FL.
Well I guess your mask has been ripped away are you one of them hoping they bring back the ovens. Anti-Semite
My grandfather would be rolling in his grave right now. Not all jews are like this, in fact when Obama was campaigning got bunches of e-mails from my jewish side stating he was like the devil, and to say no to communist ideals. You have to realize that part of why some of the jews came here was because of Hitler. It was the liberals that embraced them here, because no one wanted the jews. My older family members are conservative, the younger generations are liberal in my family. Lets not stereotype
I am a German Jew. Grandparent on my fathers side of my gene pool came here as the war was getting started. Hitler was demonizing the German population who did not embrace his ideologies and did not fall for his divide and conquer tactics.
As many know he started in his country stealing the wealth and lives of Germans. Jews as well as Christians of many flavors.
When my grandparents came here they had lost every bit of wealth they had. The SS and the Brown shirts infiltrated every corner of the population. George Soros in his own words stated that he was responsible as a child for the death of his neighbors, friends and family members alike.
We have been divided to long by all of the propaganda being spread through out the world. If we all could see through the misconceptions of the social engineers who have been at least partially responsible for this spread of falsehoods and lies we could better unite ourselves to address the problems caused by those who have used the divide and conquer strategies to over through the freedom loving patriotic community of this nation and address those directly responsible for this devastating turn of events.
I am not a racists nor anti-Semitic, I hate neither black or white or native American or native this or native that. I have learned to see the lies being fed to use with a spoon through our twisted medias and provocateurs no matter which angle they use or are coming from. There are indications in scriptures that in the last days of this great deception being created that nation shall rise against nation and ethnic group against ethnic group. I decided a long time ago that in order to make a positive change in the hate and name calling, the evil direction that the world in general is headed, was not to feed into this ideology. To not allow any of this to effect how I personally deal with or threat another human being in any manner that I would not wish to be treated. Treat others as you wish to be treated. A very simple concept.
One thing is very clear. In order to make positive changes in this world. This divide and conquer strategy which has been so successfully used in the past and is still in use today, was to ignore it and live my life as if every thing had value in learning how NOT to become a tool of those who oppose any nation or person which truly supports and defends personal freedom of choice. To understand that my views are mine and that the views of others are just that. Theirs. I do not take offense until my physical person is attacked. That it is not my job or purpose on this earth to force anyone to embrace my personal beliefs or views. Nor is it my responsibility to embrace anyone else views or personal beliefs. All I can do to make this earth a better place for all, is to live and let live, until my personal freedoms, right to life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness is attacked. At which time, then and only then I have the right to defend these as my God given rights have allowed me. Until humanity embraces the idea the each one of us is given the same rights, and responsibilities to allow others to have their own. until they take action to endanger mine, my life and freedom. Then it is time to stand up, step up to the plate and speak only truth into the mix.
May we all someday learn to live in peace with one another and understand that no matter our background, no matter our understanding of these things, we only make the problems worse for all of us if we do not allow personal freedoms to which we all are entitled, to exist. And when we are attacked without cause, then and only then do we have the right to protect those things, our life, our family, our freedoms and our right to live without fear of someone stealing away our right to live in peace. May all of us live without fear. Fear is used to manipulate people, society, and it (fear) is used as a tool by those who wish to control us, to take away our personal freedoms, our wealth, our right to live without fear and to usurp our God given rights from us.
May we all live to make this world a better place to be free to exercise our individual rights and freedoms, to learn to live without fear, and to allow others to enjoy the same. Until the day comes when someone person or Government intends on taking that from each of us. Then it is time to stand up and stomp a mud hole in the the problem. We can learn much by reading the personal writings of our Founding Fathers and founding Documents. I hope we can regain our Constitutional Republic before what is left is taken away. Liberty once gain if lost is lost forever.
Blotto is a biggot… that is all
Hey Blotto, try asking a Jew about Jews. I’m a lifelong republican, total capitalist US Navy Veteran, concealed weapons permit holder and I despise political correctness and pseudo-intellectual liberalism. I am well educated and I work very hard in order to take care of my family. And NO – I do not work in the financial sector. Most of my family are republican or libertarians with the exception of my late father who was a Roosevelt Democrat.
You espouse some kind of “Knowledge” about Jews but you have no clue what you are talking about. Why is it so hard for antisemitic reprobates like you to grasp the idea that Jews are as diverse politically and financially as any other ethnic group? We have rich Jews and poor jews. Ignorant Jews and well educated Jews. We constantly argue with each other about politics.
How about this – We are AMERICANS…IS THAT GOOD ENOUGH FOR YA?
i think the “Jewish” terrorists you mentioned, like Alinsky, are NOT practicing Jews. they are Jews in name only. Let’s don’t marginalize the guys who are with us in the struggle against the communists in our country. Please.
Jews are God’s chosen people? My Christian friends tell me this and though I too am a Christian I know better. What we are seeing in the news is tied to and has to do with the sickness within Christianity.
I don’t know where on earth you got this false information, blotto, but I dare you to document it. When you find out that every word of your comment is false, would you please have enough honor to apologize for posting such foolishness.
Up against average 120+ IQs, average 67 IQs have a little difficulty competing for janitor jobs, let alone being the new anything creative, innovative, industrious and/or productive.
Bravo Jason! Each of the illegals play the victim when the reality is that the majority of them hate America/Americans, live off welfare, bring in crime, bring our economy down, and bring our schools down. We as Americans are very accommodating to them and all they do is spit in our faces. I for one am sick to death of them and couldn’t care less about them. They have lost any sympathy I may have once had for them.
I couldn’t have said it any better Jason.
I’m still trying to figure out…
What race is Hispanic?
Most Hispanics are about 70-75% Spanish heritage, and 25-30% Native American.
Problem is “Spanish” means European which means “white.” So they have to pretend that their majority ethnicity component doesn’t exist; and the “Aztlan” types in the US act like the Europeans in North America are interlopers against whom they are opposed; problem is, they are the interlopers themselves. They are the descendants of the European conquerors, no less so than the “Anglos” north of the border.
But that fact doesn’t match the narrative, so is swept under the rug.
There are many other problems with their story, such as the fact that California and most of the Southwest were only part of Mexico for a brief 25 years (1821-46), while having been part of Spain for several centuries beforehand, and then an independent nation for a short time, and afterward part of the United States for 162 years.
Prior to the arrival of the Spaniards, Alta California was very sparsely populated, and the natives here had no knowledge of nor any interaction with the Aztecs or any other Mexican native tribes. So why these people who claim partial descent from Aztecs should have ownership rights to a bit of territory their ancestors never controlled or even heard of, and which was part of Mexico for just a tiny handful of years since 1492 — well, nobody knows.
Only Texas was an independent nation. The other states were made part of U.S. territories by the treaty of Guadelupe-Hidalgo between the U.S. and Mexico after the end of the Mexican-American War.
Not quite. California was also an independent nation very briefly in 1846. (“Bear Flag Republic.”)
Zombie is living in a fictitious history wonderland somewhere across that ocean it comes from. Are you a boatshit, Zombie? Is that it? I would think that you are an immigrant off a boat with the illiterate junk you spew out of that probably stolen computer you’re using. You have to make up entire histories of America to protect your homeless ass and justify your lazy uselessness in an America in which you are not welcome or loved.
Stay across that ocean, Zombie, because Americas coming for you, too, with our ZombieGuns. Not only your slaves.
Since every last word Zombie wrote is true, you are clearly either a troll or a fool.
What a nasty, snarky person you are. What Zombie says clearly got to you, and to me that says, he must be mostly correct in his historical analysis. You call yourself AMERICA? LoL.
SEIU TROLL ALERT!!!
Thank you for the education, Zombie, I am going to do a little more research on this. Always nice to have solid information that you can use to debate someone else with. My husband is Mexican, he does not call himself hispanic,chicano, or anything else. He calls himself an American. So many wonderful replies to this. But the one thing that we all need to remember is that greed runs this world, it has nothing to do with the race, religion or sex that a person is.
Glad to read your comment about Mexico’s ties to the SOuthwest US, Zombie. Being a Texan, I’ve always wondered why the millions of Mexicans who’ve invaded our state always make a claim on Texas when they never lived here. Texas, like California, was sparesely populated during Spanish rule with a few missions establised in south Texas to at least have some presence to keep their claim. After Mexico’s independence from Spain, Mexico needed settlers to ward off the French who were constantly crossing the eastern border and the only takers were the Anglos they invited and granted land to. Once here, the Anglo and Mestizo settlers resented the fact that they had no representative voice in government hence, they revolted and won independence from Mexico, who only really ruled Texas for 15 years. Spain controlled Texas for 300 years before that and the rulers were European or Mestizo, not the people we know today as Mexicans.
I think Comanches were the problem in Mexican Texas, not the French. I have no idea where you got that from. Otherwise, great post.
Well, there is this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_colonization_of_Texas#Legacy:
@Zombie. Good post. It’s like blacks also. They use the color of their skin to claim descrimination, but when you ask why they don’t join views with blacks like Walter Williams, Clarence Thomas, Thomas Sowell, or even Bill Cosby, they get all tongue twisted and claim they’re not “real” blacks. That’s because it never was about color, it was always about ideology, and leftist hispanics and blacks are just another tool of the Marxists.
You should read a little more on Bill Cosby: that guy’s a total racist.
Read this – all about a racist told by a racist.
http://www.vnnforum.com/showthread.php?t=91556
@James May. You’re right, a lot of what Cosby says is disturbing. I think he’s getting a little senie. I only mentioned him because he isn’t the typical liberal who wants to be on the nanny teat like the Jesse Jacksons and Al Sharptons. He at one time had very solid conservative views that I agreed with. So I figured most Obama-voting blacks would call him a sell-out for that. He doesn’t talk their language (reparations, entitlements, victemhood).
That comment is worth a blog post in itself.
AMEN to that Eric.What is a Latino? Why not call a spade a spade.If you came from Mexico legally or otherwise you are a Mexican.
Arnie,
You are incredibly ignorant. The majority of Hispanics in America are not illegal aliens or born in Mexico. Many of them like myself have been American citizens for several generations. My family used to grow corn and oranges on their own land in El Campo Texas before Texas was a state. It was stolen by robber barons like Sam Houston when Texas became a state. Fortunately we purchased our land back 30 years ago.
Are you including the kids born to illegal hispanics as Americans?
“Latino” and “Hispanic” are labels invented by the US Government to group population classes and “manage” their identity for political purposes. Notice that Spaniards, Portuguese, French, Italians, Roumanians are not included under “Latinos” nor “Hispanics”. And, now the Government has 17 categories to describe and “manipulate” populations….. under “social engineering”.
@Lanyon. Actually the Spanish used terms like Mestizos to differentiate the Indios mixed with the Spanish. They were very class-concious at the time. Hispanic and Latino came about from the political demographics oriented to help politicians get elected. But lets not be hypocritical, the “latinos” and “hispanics”, I’m sure, don’t mind claiming it on a form if it means more services and financing.
Good one Eric! I have wondered that myself. I speak Spanish and my relatives were from Scandinavia.
Most modern scientists don’t actually consider race as a biological phenomenon; it’s much more of a social construct. Definitions of races can vary greatly across cultures and different time periods. So, someone could be considered white in Haiti or Brazil and Black in the US or the other way around. People self-identify as different ethnic groups that are linked by cultural identity, but there aren’t any true “races” of people with meaningful biological definitions and boundaries.
Wrong, wrong, wrong.
Most modern left-wing academic propagandists don’t actually consider race as a biological phenomenon.
However, almost all modern scientists do consider it to be a biological phenomenon.
Especially in light of recent discoveries that there are clearly distinct and identifiable genetic differences between the races.
Using (as you do) examples from the New World (i.e. the Americas and the Caribbean) is the tired old trick of pointing to mixed-race people and declaring the that existence of green disproves the existence of blue and yellow. Races blended in Brazil and the US and Cuba, but go back to the original lands, and you can find unmixed original ethnicities.
A forensic anthropologist can look at a skeleton, totally devoid of cultural context or even flesh, and tell you with a high degree of certainty what race its owner was. This fact alone blows the “race is just a cultural construct” theory out of the water. And now, they can look at a DNA sample, again double-blind anonymous and stripped of all cultural construct, and tell you what the race is of the DNA donor.
Yes, there are aspects of the racial debate that are “cultural constructs” (i.e. people like Halle Berry and Bob Marley and Barack Obama and Tiger Woods are considered “black,” even though in each case they are 50+% actually a different race). And yes, international travel and tribal migrations and colonialism and the slave trade and all the rest have caused a huge mixing of the races, especially in the Americas. And yes other the years there have evolved ethnic types that straddle the racial boundaries. But none of these details negates the original fact that there were races to begin with. Common sense agrees with me: A Korean does not look like a Norwegian does not look like a Nigerian.
And one final key point: The existence of different races does not imply that there is a hierarchy of races; different simply means different, not better or worse. Which is “better”: a beagle, a husky, or a greyhound? The answer, of course, is “None — they’re all just different, not batter or worse.” Same applies to people.
Its so hip and romantic to love communism….that is until you actually have to live with it. Why is it that so many citizens of communist countries risked death and often actually did die fleeing them. How many people have died fleeing America, England, Canada? Idiots, the whole lot of them.
… Urban Outfitters… Hilarious dude, and right on the mark! They’re the New Jews in their minds, but that’s the extent of it!
Like Michael Savage has often said, the young guys go to the rallies to find chicks to Hook Up with. Maybe the girls are doing the same. Notice the obvious lack of intelligence in the crowd. You’re not seeing Bright Eyed, Clear Thinking Individuals, but drugged up (prescription, and illicit), gov-dependent, easily misled sheepole.
Seen this on another blog…opened my eyes even MORE..
I am now in my 80-th year, a retired engineer with a European degree plus M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from UCLA. At the age of 24 I had escaped from a communist hell and received a political asylum in France, where I worked 5 years while waiting for a US immigrant visa. Having finally obtained a 2-year conditional visa I arrived to this country in 1962 and in 1967 became a citizen. In the years since I have voted both for Democrats and Republicans, although after 1976 mainly for Republicans. Given a series of bloviating gasbags and functional morons with strong leftist tendencies such as McGovern, Carter, Mondale, Dukakis, Gore, Kerry, or that disbarred felon Clinton, it was impossible for me to do otherwise. I enjoyed the presidency of Ronald Reagan which put an end to the deadly communist regimes all across Europe; those Marxist dictatorships produced invariably utter poverty, terror, and mass murder, and are still doing it in places like North Korea and Cuba, with Venezuela, Ecuador, Byelorussia and Bolivia close behind.
However, we have now a completely different and much more dangerous situation here in America. The criminal political Chicago machine gave us a far-left revolutionary Marxist of doubtful origins as our President – Barack Hussein Obama; a son of a Kenyan communist and a flower-child leftist mother, with obscured past lacking any documentation of his university accomplishments before that Chicago criminal political machine sent him to the US Senate. His accomplishments so far have been an arousing speech to the Democrat Convention, and two ghost-written books of his father’s and his own aspirations. I think I am justified by calling that machine criminal – after all two Democrat governors are serving time presently in prison; and in the elections of 1960 the machine elected Kennedy by some 150,000 votes of dead people.
Nurtured by his far-left grandparents, by the Communist Party USA Politburo member Davis, by the raving racist-communist Reverend Wright, and by the criminal communists Alinsky, Dohrn, and Ayers, this former citizen of Indonesia and Kenya Obama is implementing a rapid program of communization of America. All the former refugees from various communist hells can easily recognize the signs:
1) Obama is acting as the Secretary General of the Party;
2) Democrat Party has been taken over by the communists under various guises such as social justice movements and environmentalism;
3) Congressional Democrat leaders are in fact the Central Committee;
4) Obama’s White House advisers are his commissars (so-called czars) in charge of all federal departments – all unelected;
5) His Attorney General, a fervent racist and communist, is in charge of legal enforcement of Obama’s dictates, and in executive role of assuring Obama’s re-election, by fraud if necessary;
6) Obama’s program of massive nationalizations of private companies is under way – automobile companies, mortgage companies, many banks, several insurance companies, and pretty soon hospitals, doctor offices, and health insurance companies under Obamacare; then with the help of the global warming hoax will come the nationalization of oil & gas companies, coal mines, electricity companies, transportation companies;
7) Newly established Consumers Protection Agency will dictate business rules for banks, credit unions, mortgage companies – thus putting those under close government control; the newly appointed members of the National Labor Relations Board will favor unions by force of rules and regulations;
8 ) Obama’s Agit-Prop Office, as that organization in communist regimes was known, charged with communist agitation and propaganda, consists of our Main Stream Media: ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, NPR, CNN, MTV, NY Times, Washington Post, LA Times, Associated Press, Reuters, Marxist university professors, shallow Hollywood actors, TV talking heads, etc.
9) Under the guise of environmental protection, social justice, sustainable development, and several UN-sponsored initiatives, our government is actively promoting a world socialist government under the direction of enlightened leadership of our intellectual classes; in that effort various domestic organizations such as Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth, Sierra Club, Union of Concerned Scientists, Institute of Policy Studies, ACLU, etc. are actively engaged, in collaboration with our EPA and DOE progressives. Our Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta is a former member of the far-left Institute of Policy Studies that used to be directed by the KGB of the defunct USSR.
10) Obama’s system of local soviets, as the community organizations were known in the defunct Soviet Union, consisting of brown shirts and thugs supplied by ACORN, SEIU, AFL-CIO, AFSCME, NEA, AFT, Teamsters, Steel workers, municipal unions, ACLU lawyers, environmentalists, and other local government employees unions, is in charge of assuring the acceptable election results by illegal alien votes, by felon votes, by repeated voting of same people under manufactured names, by transporting illegal voters across voting districts, and by stuffing the voting machines with phony votes – all exactly as in those communist hells well known by us the refugees. These Obama’s striking forces will be financed in 2012 by the still unspent $8.7 billion from his original stimulus bill. AG Holder will make sure that no ID is required for voting. According to the statement by Obama – “We need a domestic military with a budget as large as that of the Pentagon” – these local soviets will soon be equipped with guns and bullets.
11) Fight against individual achievement by the application of new laws such as affirmative action, diversity, multiculturalism, inclusion, hate speech, anti-marriage, etc. – all are aimed at leveling the society at the lowest possible mark. After 40 years of rule by teachers unions we have now 3 generations of unemployable illiterate nincompoops and bottom feeders manning “Occupy Wall Street” protests and voting for our “Democrats” and for “social justice”.
12) Expansion of old and new welfare programs in order to ensnare the majority of population in the net of government dependence, such as food stamps, AFDC, apartment subsidies, WIC, school lunches, handicap payments, unemployment benefits, home mortgage subsidies, health insurance subsidies, etc.
13) Massive amnesty for illegal aliens by executive orders, thus creating a pool of about 15 million new citizens expanding government-dependent classes and voting for a new socialist order.
After Obama’s re-election in 2012 is assured, the progress of communization of America will be rapidly and irrevocably accomplished. Among the Republican presidential candidates there is nobody with the complete understanding of our dire situation, who could properly articulate and define the problem. All of them are unfortunately just run-of-the-mill politicians – all of them more or less normal Americans. On the other hand we have a president who is convinced of his divine origin: he believes himself to be either the second coming of Christ or the appearance of the 12th Imam (as per his friend Ahmadinejad) – just remember Obama’s words when addressing the global warming scam: “Tomorrow the oceans will stop rising, and the planet will start healing”. Shall we ask him to re-arrange the planetary system for a more equitable climatic result?
Another sign of Obama’s inflated self-importance is his declaration in a TV interview that his performance so far is among the best in US history, and should be favorably compared to those of Lyndon Johnson, FDR, and Lincoln. He reminds me of the Pinocchio in the children’s literature, whose nose grew longer every time he lied; or of a wound-up marionette when he saunters up the steps toward his teleprompter stuffed with remarks prepared by his White House advisers. The present economic crisis will inevitably worsen, thus demanding constitutional changes – such as eliminating the constitutional limit of two presidential terms; that will allow Obama to continue as President indefinitely, and in effect become a dictator for life, just as in communist countries – say North Korea, Venezuela, China, Vietnam, and Cuba.
Frightening – isn’t it? I sincerely hope to die before soon one day waking up in the new United Socialist Soviet States of America, to become a refugee again – and go where? Escape to Zimbabwe – or Greece perhaps?
I wonder why they are not living in the island paradise of Cuba. Communism is there already and they can have their fill. I am sure there are some good citizens in Florida who would gladly send them off to Fidel Castro’s island free of charge.
Victims of a full stomach and not enough work to do. That’s what they’re victims of.
Yep. I’m one of them. And I’m not even of Cuban ancestry. Though I strongly suspect that my neighbors (and fellow Americans) who are would agree with me.
Simple. There’s no one left in Cuba to sponge off of. Communism requires spending other people’s money, and there isn’t any money in Cuba or North Korea, etc.
There’s plenty of money in Cuba. Always was. Remember, the rest of the world ‘trades’ with Cuba, it is only the United States in its typical bourgeois, imperialist fashion that refused to do so. Castro, his family, his cronies and their suckups have exclusive possession of it along with total ownership of the island and all of the people on it. Communism works just fine: for the people who practice it. Their victims, however… but who cares anyway. Besides me. And all who read this blog. Maybe a few more…
Please migrate to CUBA. Communism failed everywhere. The Coommies promise UTOPIA. They beleive is wealth redistribution. This is massive failure. Leave Capitalism alone. Move out.
Read his entire comment — he is emphatically NOT a supporter of communism (no more than you or I).
His point: The only people for whom communism ever “worked” were the ones running the system (the “Nomenklatura” as they were known in the [thank G-d] former Soviet Union), on the backs/at the expense of everybody else.
“… And those who push us down that they might climb…
… Is any killer worth more than his crime?…”
(Rush, “The weapon”)
Communism or Socialism… “trickle-up poverty”, that’s what it all is. “Socialism is the equal redistribution of misery”… Winston Churchill
That is an excellent idea. Let’s have a Spring Special offering free cruises to cuba and we can trade them for the “trouble makers”(capitalists) who don’t want communism that are in Cuba. I’ll bet we could get donations from the private sector and the government would have no expense. And I am sure we have the cruise boats that could use the business!
“Here come the grunts!
Here come the grunts!
Order in the streets ’cause
Here come the grunts1″
Pinochet had the right idea.
You are 100% correct.
What, genocide?
A few goofy communists show up for a May Day commemoration (big surprise there), so you associate anyone else who shows up with the goofy communists. In that case, it is a fair argument to say that Pajamas Media has gone full anti-semite, full racist, and full pro-murderous-dictatorship based on a couple of the knuckleheads who have posted their own inane and offensive responses. If we’re going to play guilt-by-association, let’s play it.
Incredible stuff here. Thanks for making my first visit also my last.
Since most or all of the “racist” and “anti-Semite” comments are left by left-wing moby trolls such as yourself, we allow you knuckleheads to post your spew just so we can have someone to kick around.
I certainly hope this is your last visit. Take your troll friends with you.
The SEIU has used our break room bulletin board to promote a laundry list of progressive causes for years. Currently it is one part Obama shrine, one part tribute to “Communist” organizer Rose Schneiderman… and features a cute little flyer equating human rights, civil rights and worker’s rights to the plight of illegal immigrants somehow.
What doesn’t it feature? Well, anything that actually has to do with the union, our jobs or any other legitimate workplace issues.
“SEIU drops mask”? Indeed… years ago!
@Rude. I work for a large school district and the other day someone put up a poster in the shape of a picket sign telling everyone to come to the big union rally on May 14. They put the sign up right at the front entrance of the school so all the parents could see it as they came in.
I can see massive support for Communism.
After all it worked out so well in Russia and and Eastern Europe.
Not to mention Red China, North Korea, Venezuela, or Cuba.
I really liked the story and thanks for bringing it to our attention.
Where is the “Hunky Hoffa”?
I liked the last two signs: the first, about imposing crime, chaos and destruction, is a typical mantra from minorities who have been taught that the people least responsible for the negative reality that is black or Latino culture, are themselves, black folks and Latinos. However, if it is something they view as positive, then they’re all over it and take 100% responsibility for hip hop or brocaded huipiles or whatever other stuff is crucial to Western civilization that no one gives a shit about.
Latinos WISH they were Jews because then they wouldn’t have to live in a civilization that is mired in the Age of Copper but dressed up with Western tech and doo dads they buy by using other Western tech and doo dads to get out of the ground and sell to us. No surprise they want to be commies since their propects of being an American-style Horatio Alger is slim to none. To do that, you’d have to actually be equal instead of pretend politically correct equal where everyone uses enchantments and magical spells and parrots “all men are created equal” they read somewhere, maybe on the wall of a cave.
Wouldn’t it be nice if they went home and changed Mexico, Central, and South America into industrial dynamos with lots of jobs. Let’s all hold our breath until that happens.
Quade, I live in California, and I am amazed at the stupidity of some of these groups like; mecha, la raza, and the new aztlan. I have been into Tiajauana and Ensenada, cities like San Diego and LA that have people living in cardboard boxes on the hillsides. How can cities that sit along the same exact coastline be so entirely different? Corruption and that’s what they want to bring to Californi, Texas, and Arizona. I’m married to a Mexican-American who simply calls himself an American. We would never want Mexico to take over these states and make them become what the rest of that nation has become, so I have no clue, except to feign stupidity for these people, why they would want it to be returned to Mexico.
There’s no why about it, it just is. The reason Greece is like it is, whether you like it or not, is because it’s full of Greeks. Guatemala is like it is because it’s full of Guatemalans. If you put 2 million Guatemalans in a small area of California, it’s going to be like Guatemala. If you put 10 million Americans in Ghana, it’s going to bloom. This is just simple, observable reality and it’s history one can easily see.
When it comes to Latino immigration into America, you will have a tipping point past which America as it was will not survive and will backslide. Why? Who knows? I don’t create countries and cultures, I just see them.
Everyone in the world knows the Third World is a shithole. Some places like Djakarta are so bad that Westerners who work there get culture shock and go a little batty cuz it’s hard to take having giant canals that smell like an outhouse.
Tipping point. Bring enough people from the Third World here and you will have canals that smell like an outhouse. Politically correct liberals are the ones with all the questions and are like religious fanatics who have faith an American lives inside everyone in the Third World and will do well here. If you disagree with them and insist what you see in the Third World actually exists you are a racist.
Multiculturalists who insist on diversity are crazy. They have faith in something they cannot point to as true but insist it is true. This philosophy in America will destroy America as the successful and relatively peaceful place it was. Multiculturalists have somehow come to believe, unwittingly or no, that it is good to build on failure, rather than success. Success are European Americans and failure is the inhabitants of the Third World.
Why? I don’t know, it just is. I can see, document and point to the success. I can see, document and point to failure. In the politically correct world, this is racism. Immigrants from the Third World have had some little success in America – in small doses where their own culture is muted. Take 10 million Indian software engineers and put them in Idaho and wham! You will have India. This is not rocket science or racism but is something forever beyond the understanding of liberals.
Pragmatic rationalists will be shouted down as profiling racists and the destruction of American culture will continue apace because our arts and media are centered around the idea that I’m okay, you’re okay and everyone in Haiti is a potential physicist and will become one if you can only drag them away from themselves and re-create themselves here. This will not result in physicists but in mud cookies and deforestation.
America is no longer America; it is America/Mexico/Nigeria. It is what young people call epic fail. Why? I don’t know. Success cannot be micro-managed, gerrymandered or made to pop into reality by magical wizard liberals. The more successful liberals are at transporting the Third World into America, the more they will succeed in turning America into a Third World. The liberal theme is that people of color are oppressed versions of Shirley Temple and white people still want slavery.
Every movie and song made in the West is instantly available in the Third World for free and this has been true for more than a decade. They are experts in piracy and fraud. This mindset has come to America in huge numbers – they do not believe in paying for anything they don’t have to and are like con artists with shanty towns on their backs. A few can succeed and become good Americans, millions will bring this country down to a cauldron of crime, poverty and no-go zones. There are 750 no-go zones in France the gov’t put on a web site to warn tourists. They had to take it down because of political correctness. America will become a zone of crap.
Some good points: here’s the answer to some of your questions. Those who seek to bring everyone to America think that all the good things will stay the same and the bad things will go away. SEIU thinks there will always be tons of jobs by just striking for more jobs, higher pay, more benefits. There’s a action/result logic that has been “bred” out of those who think all you have to do is demand something and you’ll get it without any repercussions. I’ve heard a lot of American ex-pats are setting up shop in enclaves south of the border; we’ve out-sourced the Presidency; I guess patriotism is next!
At the end of the War, we mistakenly thought the self-evident failure and accompanying suffering, genocide and injustice of communism would relegate it to faculty lounges and historians. Our failure to conduct a de-commification program after the collapse of the Soviet Union and fall of the Berlin Wall — similar to the de-Nazification program in post-WWII Germany — was, in retrospect, a huge mistake.
On the money. Purge, unfortunately, is a concept less familiar to capitalists than to Communists. For our lack of fortitude, we have the KGB back in the saddle in Russia while the useful idiots still march in America.
And if they succeed in smashing capitalism, they expect their paychecks to come from where, exactly?
Paychecks? You are so naive.
Everything will be shared! No private ownership! No monetary system!
(And a devastating famine within 9 months, tops, followed by total economic collapse. Shhhhh.)
No monetary system? You are a fool. Even in the USSR there was still money. And Russian agricultural output is still not up to its pre-1991 levels.
That’s because Russian agricultural output WAS Polish and Ukrainian agriculture.
These days, it seems like half of all “Italian” cheeses you find at the supermarket actually come from Poland.
Most of my Italian cheese comes from Argentina, actually.
And my Italian olive oil, by Italian companies, and imported from Italy, is actually made from Tunisian and Turkish olives, and bottled in Turkey, with an Italian label slapped on it. Scandaloso!
Well, no one said the USSR didn’t have money. As for those “pre-1991 levels”, how long did it take to achieve those after the Stalin Holocaust that murdered 25 million Ukrainian farmers?
Ya know, the South’s cotton production never really recovered after slavery was abolished, either.
Better look again. Cotton production just for the South in 2010 was about 3 times 1860 levels.
Young communists who are college grads are encouraged to become teachers. Others are encouraged to work for government or join a labor union. Their job is looked upon as an opportunity to spread the communist gospel.
That’s right out of Alinsky’s book. Ask Hillary and Obama they both cut their teeth in Chicago socialist organizing.
i applaud these people
at least they are picking a side and doing it openly
now let us engage in the battle of ideals
capitalism versus collectivism
much better than the statists that appear to be on your side but privately side with the others, aka, rinos
“much better than the statists that appear to be on your side but privately side with the others, aka, rinos”
Ideological purity is for Communists and Nazis.
You will not stop the commie, statist agenda with commie, statist apologists aka RINOs. It is not a mater of purity but of intestinal fortitude and knowing which side of the fight your representative is going to come down on. That said it’s time to make RINOs extinct.
Hey idiot! And just where do you work and who pays for your deadbeat hinny? I bet it isn’t one of these marching dopes!
“When I tell people that public political rallies are more and more being led by communists and socialists, most folks simply don’t believe me. Aw, come on, you’re just giving decent protesters an extreme label, they say. No, actually, I’m not: The communists freely and proudly declare their affiliation.”
so it’s basically the rent-a-mob unions (all in the same t-shirt with the same posters)and tea party “protesting” while the humongous levy of apathetic and unengaged are left to decide the most important election in the history of our country— SCARY
If you think that’s scary, try the 12th annual “White Privilege Conference” just held in Minneapolis. The idea was so goofy and racist I thought it was a joke. Turns out it has widespread support from the YWCA and Minnesota colleges. And yes, you guessed it, everything on their agenda is anti-white although a lot of white folks are involved. This identity politics is sick in it’s heart. These people who do this don’t realize that the language they speak works both ways but they want the dialogue to go only one way: they’re nuts and it’s a set up for failure just like the Nazis were – good intentions but the same philosophical space.
To me it’s so simple: success in it’s own reward and lack of it means back to the drawing board – if you organize around skin color don’t be shocked when nothing comes of it since skin color is not a value system and don’t blame others who don’t for your troubles when you try and organize success around race. Just imagine if sports teams did that. You’d have blacks vs. whites and guess what, it’s how we run our country and enforce it with laws.
You can kiss Minneapolis good-bye.
I am from Minnesota & that really does not surprise me. First off, MN is a Union controlled state & a non-union employee can’t even so much as change a light bulb without the Unions breathing down their throat in cries of outrage. MN also has a very mixed variety of races, and none really outnumbers the others (any more at least- 10 years ago would be another story). However, when it comes to colleges its very rare to see a black there that is NOT an athletic scholarship. I only knew one from our community college that was studying something else & sad to say he was on a Green Card from Morocco.
Start the protest in East Palo Alto and march through Stanford University then finish up at Menlo-Atherton High School- where else in the Bay Area is the division between rich white secular liberals and the down-trodden more apparent?
The heartland of liberalism, the bastion of eight foot tall ivy covered brick security walls, good intentions, smiling backstabbers and $200k BMWs.
Wow, so apropos. I see it in my community a little bit south of Stanford. If it were not for my family I’d feel very lonely as a conservative of comfortably modest means, owner of rescue dogs and an old van:-) I watch both my back and my mouth.
The Stanford/East Palo Alto dichotomy is THE largest Ive ever observed personaly. EPA is a nasty dirty violent craphole, I ran a tow truck in both places (they are right across the bayshore freeway from each other, but worlds apart otherwise) every single car I ever towed in EPA had a broken steering lock. Every car I ever towed at Stanford was worth more then my house.
This outfit is a collection of losers and no “de-commification” program would change their minds (speaking loosely). Losers can always find each other and come up with reasons why it isn’t their fault. There are hard working illegal immigrants but I’ll bet $100 they aren’t in those demonstrations. They are working.
Someday, after we have control of the border, there will be another amnesty for those who came here and worked hard and bought homes and obeyed the law. I know there are plenty of them. A friend of mine, a Jewish obstetrician, amazed his friends by closing his practice in an affluent south Orange County suburb and opening an office in Santa Ana. He and two other Jewish obstetricians eventually had a huge totally Spanish speaking OB practice. Two of them had to learn Spanish. He had gone to school in Mexico. None of them was Hispanic.
Their patients, who were not on MediCal, were Spanish speaking and law abiding and would not be caught dead at a communist rally. A convention of losers is what that is.
Open borders, unionization…..
Aren’t these Obama’s policies?
Would be interesting to know what the average ‘Democratic’ voter thinks.
Will they support the fight and mobilize the masses for communism?
Do they still support Obama and his Marxist faction in the ‘Democratic’ Party?
I just wonder if any of these SEIU geniuses understand how the unions and workers actually fared under communism – either the Russian, Eastern Bloc or Chinese variety?
Oh, wait, my bad – all these SEIU tools were probably educated in American schools by AFT union teachers – they never got those lessons, did they?
Good one Martin Hale. All part of the dumbing down by the left. We are losing generations to the education camps, so called government public education schools. They are being turned out to work in cube farms or government jobs. The truth of socialism and communism is not being taught because it would open their eyes to unions and the teachers who are educating them. [In some letters by Marx after attending the Working Men's Association (which would be later known as the Internationale)in London he exposes his true ambition, the workers were trying to construct one of the first trades unions, and this report by two attendees from Paris said: "they talked of peace, of study, of arrangement, of association" later Marx said; (describing proposals by the workers as)"perfectly childish." "I was firmly resolved not to leave a single line if possible of all their balderdash." And a few weeks later he succeeded in establishing his authority and wrote; "My propositions were all accepted by the commision; they only insisted on the introduction in the Preample of the statutes, of two phrases on duties and rights, and on truth, morality, and justice; but I placed them in such a way that it can do no harm" (James Guillaume -Karl Marx, pan-Germaniste p. 9 1915)] (From the book World Revolution -by Nesta H Webster”
I wonder how the SEIU would feel if someone marched with a sign that said:
KKK 5,000 dead, Communism 149,000,000 dead
everyone knows KKK bad (only kind of bad while Sen. Byrd was involved) , so this helps put communism in perspective
After living in California and see these pictures, I can’t think of bunch more deserving to live under the triumph of their own ideals.
I would be more than happy if the new Bear Flag Revolt ended with an independent Communist Republic of California. Apparently the examples of Russia, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Byelorussia, Poland, Germany, Hungary, Rumania, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, Ukraine, Korea, China, Cambodia, Vietnam, Cuba, Bolivia, and Venezuela are not sufficient example of the evils of Leftism. Americans need a closer and more thorough example. Let CA be itself; let it revel in its Communism, homosexuality, and multiculturalism–but not as part of the free republic of the United States. Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch.
I don’t think it would last long enough to be a good example. The movie industry would immediately back out and go to another state, and Colorado would just stop selling them all their water.
It does not work like that: the movie moguls (just like anyone else) would have their passports confiscated, and Colorado would be invaded. That is communism for you – but at least border control would be superior.
A few years ago, SEIU Local 1000 leaders passed out copies of the Communist Manifesto at one of their statewide meetings, so they’ve been in the open about this for some time. It’s too bad that nobody in the press cares enough to tell the truth about these thugs.
Judging from the past, as well as the pictures above, most union/communist protesters have a bad case of the fatanduglies. Shouldn’t that cute young lady at the top be at a tea party somewhere?
Nice to see some libertarians in the parade. i.e. “The Real Violence….” sign.
Wait, it’s only 149 million killed by communism/socialism?
Heck, that’s not so bad, I thought it was over 150 million!
These people are heinous loons…kind of like the ones at the head of our government.
Scary.
Has communism EVER done anything, anywhere, but impoverish the masses, enslave people or outright murder them? Ever? Anywhere?
Ship every single one of these horrible idiots to North Korea.
I’m a tail-end-of-the-baby-boomer born and raised in So. Ca. If you want to understand how a liberal Californian’s mind ticks it is simple: The most dysfuntional wins. Level of cool = level of dysfunction.
So communism and socialism, with their dysfunctional societies and mass genocidal ways are not perfect, cannot be criticized as they excel in the dysfunctional category. To be critical of something that is so completely dysfunctional as communism would be to admit that you no longer are a player in the cool game. And to not be cool is to be old.
Latinos are the Jews of the 21st Century?
Where are all the Nobel Prizes in Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry, and Medicine?
Many excellent doctors and scientists but not “there” yet.
Communism only killed 100,000,000 people. Let’s give it one more chance
( an old protestwarrior sign )
Just wondering how these fat union goons would do in the old soviet union. Or would they have been the party bosses. Yes , I think they might have been. And the rank and file member is squashed under their thumbs. Course, by then it’s too late for the rank and file workers to do much, or else they “disappear”
the union goons?
(they want the overseer of the pleb positions i’d wager)
what about the rest of the left’s “victim groups”
how do any minorities fare in totalitarianism?
how do homosexuals fare?
how do jews fare?
how does anyone with any talent fare?
how is dissent dealt with?
haha— where do all the professors go? (serves them right– bastards)
there isnt enough room on the commie gravy train for all the dolts that want it
Mao and Gang of (however many) killed around 120M Chinese CIVILIANS during the 20th century. No one else comes close, even counting dead soldiers of both sides. ChiComs are unburdened by morality that restricts killing/murder of their relatives.
Yeah, post-1917 SovUnion was bad, but only runner-up to post-1949 Mao & friends.
Hitler hardly killed anyone in comparison to #1 and #2. Of course, the survivors are all in the media biz, so we hear about the 6M over-and-over-and-over in our PC/MC skrewls. “Never again” requires Jews to become proficient with firearms to help fight the Comm’s, but…..
And what about the non-Jew campers of 1933-1945 Europe? I guess that they had a choice to be a dirty Gypsy/Pole/Slav or “defective person”, or non-NDSP political activist, or uncloseted homosexual but instead chose to not be a good German and stay out of Camp?
How about we do our duty to the US Constitution and keep our hands out of our neighbors pocket? Unions are about negotiating a wage and working conditions with private employers. Work for the .gov and lose your right to collectively negotiate. Accept offered wage or work elsewhere. Go set up a school yourself and see how it works out.
Americans who embrace Communism Politics are traitors and will be among the first purged by the Comm’s when they come to power. Bad times are a’coming.
Cheers.
I like your idea about separation of unions and government, and to make government workers non-union. But to do that we have to first dislodge the current occupier of the White House. And even then it will be an up-hill battle because of the socialist culture in Washington D.C. and the major cities in the U.S.
Your comments about the holocaust disturbs me, however. Evil is evil no matter if you’re Stalin, Lenin, Marx, or Hitler. If you murdered, homosexuals, Chinese, Jews, or Germans. Numbers don’t matter. What matters is man is evil and Satan compels him to the act at the utter depths of his depravity. But you might want to examine your soul if you dismiss the Jewish holocaust because of some deep personal bend.
They would have been the Gauleiters of the Germany and Austria during WWII.
Zombie..what mask?
By the way, for years…every major organized protest, march or “anti” rally…all the permits were taken out by Communist front groups. Not years…decades. The organizing element was as red as a cherry.
The lapdog, propaganda media would dutifully turn off their cameras and shut down their audio when the communist speakers would get up and begin speaking.
And all those fact checkers and editors, never once “picked up on” the lack of “crack investigation” that this was going on. Riiiiiiiiight.
By the way…you won’t see this on your alphabet news with any commentary either.
Nor will ANYONE from the lapdog media ask this administration a single question about it.
From Wisconsin to Libya indeed. Badgers? We don’t need no stinkin’ Badgers.
“American dream: No longe about success, now about survuival”– at least their advertising is honest (“free limos for SEIU leadership,” they should add).
OOOOOOH OOOOOH I have a sign too teacher. “From each according to his abilities to each according to his needs. The state in preparation of withering away makes do with just absolute power and hard cash”.
Uh-Oh did I just get an F??
I’m guessing that if I’d shown up in my old BDUs (US Army tape and unit patch removed, of course) with a “Kill a Commie for Mommy” sign, that wouldn’t have been well received?
Everyone [yes, everyone] K-N-O-W-S Obama is a communist. Only conservatives will vocalize it.
There was a time in the 50′s to 80′s that the labor unions denounced communism, and explicitly distanced themselves from it. Now it looks like labor unions have returned to the 20′s and 30′s, when their leadership was riddled with communists.
Since most ordinary blue collar workers I know hate communism, this does not bode well for te labor unions winning back US workers. Their only chance is gov workers, although if you talk about cops, firemen, military, DOD, etc, even most gov workers do not like communists much.
“Since most ordinary blue collar workers I know hate communism, this does not bode well for te labor unions winning back US workers. Their only chance is gov workers, although if you talk about cops, firemen, military, DOD, etc, even most gov workers do not like communists much.
Unions have found a way around that. Overseas they just make union membership compulsory.
Exactly…that’s why the unions fought so hard against the Wisconsin legislation.
The unions know that they need compulsory dues. If members don’t have to pay dues, many/most won’t. No money, no political donations…no political donations, no “seat at the table”.
Voluntary dues are an existential threat to unions. Hence, you get ferociousness of the fight in Wisconsin.
I’m a teamster. Do my co-workers hate communism? Nah. They’re pretty indifferent. Any “I love America” that they have in them is a love for a weird version of America that give lots o’ free stuff to whiners and complainers, of whom they are right there at the forefront.
If you think union workers will take a dislike to their unions if commie ties are revealed(and irrefutable), you’re wrong. “Gimme my stuff” wins over everything.
Think of the black population in America. For the most part they’re religious, but they ALWAYS vote Democrat. “Gimme my stuff” wins out over “babies are getting chopped up” every damned time.
Unfortunately, Richard, they don’t hate communism as much as they love their ill-gotten benefits. They don’t hate it HALF as much as they hate the sight of people who are doing better than they (and horror of horrors, without extortion or the threat of violence!). They don’t hate it a tithe as much as they love their resentments and outlets for thuggery. Sooner than lose all that, they can live with hanging out with the people above.
How pathetic to have all the lessons of history at your disposal and still choose a failed, decrepit, murderous ideology. Pathetic.
Obama and all of his “czars” comprise the politburo and every one of them are communists. Didn’t everyone know that already? This country has already been delivered into the fold. Total control of gasoline distribution is now a high priority on the agenda. Enjoy the gas lines, folks. Of course, you will need to belong to the Party in order to wait in that line. High prices will be systematically replaced by low availability. But, we all get to share in all of the pain equally!
Can’t say I’m surprised, but it’s nice to have the documentation to support it.
When will the Latinos return Mexico and Central and South America to the natives? If not, why not?
Believe it or not some are trying to return territories to the natives. Their doctrine is called “indigenism.” Having grown in South America and being a history buff of sorts I wonder where those “devolutions” are going to stop. For example: should we return the Tahuantinsuyo to the descendants of Inca Pachakuti? If we do so, part of Colombia, most of Ecuador, all of Peru, Bolivia and parts of Chile and Argentina will be again working all day for a ration of maize, become property of the Inca and provide some of their children for human scarifice. Perhaps Mexico should go back to the glorious days of the Triple Alliance of Tlacaelel and make sure to rebuild the pyramids, the human sacrifices and also ritual cannibalism. What do we do with those of African descent? Should we send them back to Africa? West Africa I suppose. Many Brazilian and African American millionaires would find that a little inconvenient. Should Mr. Fidel Castro Ruz be sent to Iran, the land of his ancestors?
I would love to be sent to the little town near the Alps where my grandpa was born. No objection there. I’ll even take that middle seat.
Who told these idiots the world is a complaint department?
I tremble to think that an army of Jewish lawyers may sue the Mayor of Rome for pain and suffering resulting from Titus Vespasianus destruction of Jerusalem. Imagine trying to settle that!
That’s the one claim guaranteed to be dismissed as frivolous, because the world doesn’t like Jews. They also will not sue Iraq on account of the fact that Babylon no longer exists, nor will they sue Egypt because it would be double jeopardy (their ancestors received compensation when they left Egypt, and by that I mean the Egyptians gave them everything they asked for to make sure they would leave so the plagues would stop).
Everybody, please note the update I just added to the post above — jawdropping:
UPDATE:
In case you aren’t quite aware of just how close our current president is to the SEIU, here’s Barack Obama speaking at an SEIU rally on January 15, 2008:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AJ5GnAUDQc
Another great post by Zombie
A picture is worth a thousand words—true
See the definitive proof that SEIU, ACORN and OBAMA are communists.
http://www.commieblaster.com
http://www.commieblaster.com/obama/
http://www.commieblaster.com/acorn/
Obama should be confronted with his little SEIU rant during the campaign. I would be curious to see how he handles it. Not well, I suppose. Or more accurately, by lying and disimulating.
How will obama handle being confronted with his SEIU rant?
Its about time to start thinking about what to do with these communists in our midst who have been working closely like teeth and lips [ an old Mao saying ] with the Union of Record, the SEIU whose head goon has been in the White House 54 times having cookies and milk with the President and has helped raise gadzillions of money for the election and reelection of Bill Ayers friend Barrack Obama. Communists have murdered over 200 million of their own citizens, just Mao murdered over 70 million, don’t you think we should be worried about people who have been in the past more deadly than the “Black Death” or a million crazy Charlie Mansons with butcher knives. Communists make Nazi’s look like pikers, Nazi’s are nothing when compared to Communists, the Nazi’s only murdered a little over 10 million, the Communists are the Champions of Mayhem, Murder, Rape, Starvation and so forth, they are worse than serial child molesters and baby killers. Why are we giving these rotten thugs a pass, we know what they are capable of if given the chance. Just in one genocide in the Ukraine the Communists starved to death 10 million people in the late 1920′s and early 30′ easily surpassing the Nazi’s killing of 6 million Jews. These people have a plan and that plan has you and barbed wire in it, wise up fast.
I save the video links for all the thugs at the town hall meetings and other events that push and shove taxpaying citizens like we are second class. Several have SEIU T’s in the background. Now if the tea party had ever, ever done one of these there would be GITMO’s for taxpayers all over the country with Eric and Janet trying to frame them to divert attention from their favorites like the Black Panthers.
The SEIU were wearing a mask?
A metaphorical mask, of course. They pretend they aren’t communist. That’s the façade they present to the world.
Dear Zombie:
You are either yourself doing or promoting the amazing work of others — such as this — these days. My job takes me to downtown S.F., L.A., Sac and San Diego and I have witnessed some of these marches myself. God Save Fresno! Keep it up!
Zombie-Land: where the Comments Trolls fear to tread (lest Zombie swack ‘em good!)
Labor unions and communism always go hand in hand, I’m not surprised
I went to the LA Times Festival of Books, on Saturday, and was struck by the sheer number of Socialist leaning booksellers, and publishers, there were on hand, including in the childrens book area.
The Nation Magazine had a booth, and I amused myself my asking if any of the numbskulls half my age (I’m 51) could tell me whether The Nation abandoned the Republican Party, or if it was the Republican Party than gave up on The Nation?
It was a question that I tried to get answered in the early 90′s wih a letter to the editor after I spent time exploring bound volumes of the first 50 years of the magazines issues, at my local public library.
These folks, of course, couldn’t answer my quuestion, & seemed more than a bit surprised that such a collection even existed.
The Communist Party had a booth, with stacks of The Revolution Magazine, and a few of the Useful Idiots were to be found walking around giving them to anyone dumb enough to take a copy.
When I told one such guy that my father fought against the idiocy he was pedaling, and came to america to escape its Yugoslav version, all the guy to do was say that Tito wasn’t a Communist. ;-D
honestly, i believe the answer to this problem lies in people like yourself that witnessed and lived through the experience of a totalitarian regime
most “natives” in america are oblivious to freedom and liberty; they definitely take it for granted and this leaves the crack in the doorway for the lures of collectivism to take root
we need more people in this country who fled from the forms of government that are now being touted in america with your horror stories and blasts of reality
to take the stage and make your stories heard
What a pathetic sight. Where do the mutants come from?
I’m sorry but no one is the Jews of the 21st century. And to the whole post….wow…words cannot express… I am just dumbfounded by the audacity of these idiots. And just so you know, I’m an educator who is against this communist b-s and so if interested in a right minded teacher’s view, visit my website at http://3rseduc.blogspot.com
I’m all for free speech so cool…these folks can do their thing but how can they think what they think? I cannot fathom it. It’s as if they want to be controlled, dumbed down, told their place, subserved.
I find it amusing when presented with such things as “Black History” month that people are so dumbed down that they actually believe such a construct of stupidity is a viable course of understanding the nature of any part of human history.
Any historian of repute knows that when it comes to realm of society into which defines the term History there are no definitive elements such as “Black History.” To do so is to claim that Black History happened differently than any other history. This never was, nor never will be a valid argument or construct of knowledge.
My argument is this: God does not discriminate based on the color of our skin. There is no separate Black Heaven, just as there is no White heaven. If this is the case, then it follows that for our short time here on this Earth, that it is an imperative to live a productive life regardless of the tint of our skin when going about our daily life. This is just one “think thru” that the communist attack on America has blurred the reality on.
If we are not constantly at odds with each other, they cannot implement their system of control. You see the solution is a construct of first creating a problem and then taking power.
Enter Communism
In order to institutionalize the evil nature of this form of society it is a necessary task to first destroy a society. Create chaos, mayhem, death, and destruction. For what the founders realized in the words “We hold these truths to be self evident” must be wiped clean off the slate.
No slave went willingly into bondage 5000 years ago, and the same is true today. Instead of the tip of a gun or sword, we are being bombarded by the media with a proven false construct of society that has a 100% failure rate. I sure does sound pretty though.
My thesis is that the construct of values and the supporting belief system to make communism function is nothing more than government sanctioned slavery on a massive scale.
And yet the communist now have a decisive block in Congress, and are in total control of the daily machinations of government. They also hit the jack pot when thru corruption and thug tactics they captured the crown jewel of freedom: the presidency.
What most people are missing is that there are 60 “progressives” in Congress. The commander in chief is the most “progressive” of any pol between the sum of them.
The directive from the communist party leaders in the USSR mandated the change of terminology decades ago. Progressive = Communist.
Now here is a little list of the definitive contributors and mentors that shaped the mindset of Obama:
His birth father was a communist. He spent his entire life as a functionary in various communist governments in Africa. Aside from being a brutal thug, he thought of himself as a revolutionary. He came to America to learn how to subvert it. He was even too radical for the pinkoes at Harvard. To get rid of him, they credentialed him and sent him on his way to create left wing havoc in Africa.
His step-father was a communist. He spent his entire life as a functionary in various communist movements, governments, and organizations. In a war that lasted 50 years against the communists in Indonesia this fool was knee deep in the revolution. The state department document dump on this turd presented to the media without explanation is a testament to his involvement with the radical communist movements of the day.
His mother was a communist. From the anti-American communist “church” she belonged to in Hawaii to her choice of men, this hag was as red as they come. She took after her mother, Obama’s grandmother. Granny was an infamous radical of communist causes her entire life.
I must pause for a moment here to explain the fundamental constructs of communism.
To a communist everything is political. Everything. Since the concept of individualism and private ownership is evil in their twisted construct, it necessarily follows that government is all powerful. It is this construct of EVERYTHING that boggles the imagination of those who let the tenets of such slowly creep into our society.
And the communist did go after EVERYTHING. An attack on America of this scale could only be done by a state sponsored organization with massive resources. That state and organization was the USSR. We have learned after the fall of the wall that subverting the USA was on a scale never before seen in human history. And yet we ignore the consequences of such infiltration.
Their plan was simple. As it was evil. It would not be possible to subvert the USA at the point of a gun like Russia, Sub-Asia, and Eastern Europe. The USA was to be conquered from within. The plan was to take down the USA by using the very freedoms available in the system. It was a diabolical construct. So far out of left field that it could happen undetected.
This is where the EVERYTHING construct comes into play. Thousands of Soviet propagandists infiltrated every single institution in the USA. They were VERY successful. The terms “living wage, multiculturalism, gay rights, feminism, welfare state, equality, fairness, diversity, environmentalism, Black Theology” etc, etc are all terms of the subversion.
To destroy the USA, they had to first destroy our Judeo/Christian culture. These terms are just monikers for the ideas from which if explained in context of what they were to accomplish would not suit the pallet of any normal American. Not even the targeted groups they subverted.
To take down the USA it was first necessary to undermine the values of the culture. A society without moral values quickly descends into chaos. Create the chaos, then it is back to Plan A: The tip of a gun pointed at those who descent. This modus was on parade the first 2 years of the Obama administration. It is this construct of thinking that the term “never let a crisis go to waste” comes from.
The last hurdle was to capture the government. With the largest congressional caucus in place (the progressive caucus), they went after the crown jewel: The Presidency.
I present to you Barack Hussein Obama.
But I digress…
The list goes on and on.
There was one Obama Czar (“safe schools czar”) who named the founder of NAMBA (a gay pedophile organization) his biggest hero. He also contributed to that same organizations magazine with an article on how to eat a large dill pickle out of another man’s ass.
Isn’t that wholesome.
Another Czar is caught on tape recommending that the government add targeted sterilization drugs to the public water supply to eliminate the black population.
These are the thoughts and values of people who believe that the government is the only solution.
If they keep it up much longer, there is going to be a war. A big one.
Curiously, the rafts from Cuba head only in one direction.
My brother who lives in LA says the shift towards socialism has bin so swift and sudden that it can only be because of indoctrination in the school system. His business is being hammered by bureaucracy. Getting a permit to open a store takes 17 months. He says he cannot recognize the society around him. Businesses are being treated like cockroaches.
California residents who aren’t crazy or lefties should all leave. Lots of cheap houses elsewhere. Come on out of there!!
No, we should make the lefties and crazies leave- by plane, bus, train, or, if necessary, a pine box.
Whenever I try to tell people that communism is back in vogue, they look at me like I’m crazy.
Thanks for gathering just a little more evidence.
You know the black humor in this? in the 1920s and 1930s, in Italy and Germany, public-sector workers were supporting the fascists, not the socialists/communists! By Marxist criteria, those idiots are fascists, not socialists, because they represent the same class interests as those of the original fascists.
Their support for communism just goes to show that fascism and communism are pretty much the same, I guess; but here is an amusing question: in the 1920s/1930s, in a street fight between fascists an socialists, which side would they take?
Socialism/communism are economic theories with roots in the early 1800s and espoused by Marx and Engels.
Fascism is merely government coercion. It uses the police powers of the government (yes, the IRS, too) to control the citizenry.
In other words, socialism and communism are ideas and fascism is the methodology used to implement those ideas.
That is a reasonable redefinition of socialism and fascism, but it is a REdefinition: not the original definition.
Socialists had been preaching genocide long before the word “fascist” was introduced, and fascists did write books and essays laying out a distinct political system. Mein Kampf is too long, but in the spirit of Sun Tzu (know your enemy, know yourself, and in a hundred battles you’ll never be defeated) I strongly recommend reading The Doctrine of Fascism, signed by Mussolini but apparently written by G. Gentile.
That they would beat themselves into submission is too much to hope for, I suppose.
Time to thin the herd!!!!!!!!!!!! These Morons don’t really know what Communism is abt, they think it’s all free stuff.
Ivan, such logic can not be tolerated.
But do not fear as in the end, good really will triumph over evil as most people really do want to be good. At least…I hope so.
“I’m not a communist. I just want to take from each according to his means and give to each according to his needs.”
Look in your phonebook, or electronic equivalent, and try to locate “Center for Peace and Justice” that was the local CPUSA office in Nashville.
Great. The teachers at my son’s high school wore red yesterday to support the “union”.
These radicals are at the tail end of their power and influence. Obama and his minions have been exposed in their intentions to “change America” for an ideal that has been discredited over and over throughout history. They are desperate to hold on and they can’t. The American spirit of freedom and honor and morality stands firm in their way. They have become angry and careless in hiding their true selves. Their end is coming and they will be left with no choice but to join the productive Americans and get to work to earn a living. This, to them, is a nightmare ending for them. For the rest of us, it’s just fair.
“18. Chuu Judging from the past, as well as the pictures above, most union/communist protesters have a bad case of the fatanduglies. Shouldn’t that cute young lady at the top be at a tea party somewhere?May 6, 2011 – 3:28 pm”
Chuu: that young lady is from U. Wisconsin; wearing U.Wisconsin/Communist red like every other Wisconsin student. Nasty bright red place, Madison.
I truly can not believe this movement has taken such a hold in this country,but now we are awake and you will fade away,but maybe not without a fight…
No, Latinos are not the Jews of the 21st Century, they’re (one of the newest) foils for the Jews in the 21st century. Hope you enjoy your being used and exploited as as much as mainstream righties do.
Links to “Ringospics” not working for me. Anyone else?
I especially like:
“LA Labor Supports Immigration Reform”
Those morons are so stupid they’ll trade the illegal immigrant vote for their own jobs!
BTW … How many Americans know what “May Day” connotes? The demonstrators sure know.
~(Ä)~
You mean as in “m’aidez! m’aidez!”? (French for “help me! help me!” — pronounced like “mayday” in English. Yes, that’s the origin of the distress signal.)
But back on topic: I am glad to see these svolochy (Russian for, roughly, “pond scum”) showing their true colors. Eventually they will have to go under the Naked Emperor’s Bus, if he isn’t sent home first. (Doesn’t the United Nations need a Special Permanent Undersecretary-General for Golf?)
Y’all are being unfair to these people. It takes BRAVERY to walk around with a sign proudly proclaiming “I am a complete f(&^$%^&* idiot!”!
I know, i misspelled “f(&^$%^&*”. Sue me.
you know what they say about bravery and stupidity.
One story that will never be front paged by the NY Times. They have to concentrate on Republicans.
In case anyone needs a reminder why the persistence of Communism on US soil is so frightening and disturbing, I recommend the following:
-The definitive academic history of Communist crimes: a staggering 100 million deaths in dozens of countries, a greater death toll than Hitler’s.
http://www.amazon.com/Black-Book-Communism-Crimes-Repression/dp/0674076087
-Victims of Communism: the website of the Victims of Communism memorial in Washington, DC (a worthy group for charitable support). (Site blocked in China!)
http://www.victimsofcommunism.org/
-A brilliant website with an online victims’ registry, where people can share their stories of oppression at the hands of Communist governments. (blocked in China!)
http://www.globalmuseumoncommunism.org/
These links are especially useful for teachers and parents, to help counteract the whitewashing of Communism by the public education system and MSM.
Does anyone else here find it odd that the people in these pictures are all somewhat young (under 30-40 year range), indicating a high likelihood that they have lived in the U.S. their entire lives, and never actually had any first hand experience with Communism? I suggest that we send them all to China, with no support system in place and allow them to live under the Communist rule there for for say… five years, then have them come back and tell us about their “wonderful” experience with communism. They do not realize that under a true communist ruled society, they would likely be on the receiving end of another Tienanmen Square Live Fire Exercise from the local government, simply for protesting as they are freely doing in this “evil” capitalist society that they seem to hate so much.
SEIU claims the mantra of “smash capitalism”, so let’s do that, lets wipe out capitalism. But then who are the unionized worked gonna work for? Without Capitalism there is no private business and no private sector jobs. So they are all gonna work for government? That ought to be interesting, since the government only survives off of the cash that it confiscates from the private sector. When capitalism is no more, from whom will the government confiscate wealth? Union workers bank accounts since they will be the only ones with money… at least until the government takes it.
So now we come full circle.
Now anyone who supports labor is a commie.
Marvelous.
And they put people down for being in the middle.
That’s like putting people down for being sane.
:: ))
Why shouldn’t labour and the hoards of non land owning workers organize?
The wealthy certainly aren’t leaving things up to the free market.
OH, except when it comes to health care.
Bravo, Ozzy! It’s a sad day in America when everyone gets lumped together into one big mass, as if anyone of a Christian faith = Right-wing conservative Southern Baptists, and everyone of a Jewish background is automatically a liberal Commie. This article is trying to make Liberal = Union sympathizer = Socialist = Communist = Fascist = Democrat. And the mainstream Republican party wonders why Democrats tend to lump them together with the Tea Partiers as Right-wing conservative nut jobs.
Here’s a site listing certified opticians in your area.
After you’ve gotten a good pair of glasses, you might be able to see those parts of the photographs where it says “communist” on the self-identifying signs.
Hey look at this, a Commie troll with 2 alts talking to himself! God, they’re a pathetic bunch of losers.
This march would have been another great target for SEAL TEAM 6….
One of these days, I’d love to see a counter protest to one of these things with folks walking among them holding up posters of nothing but victims that communism has claimed.
Your wish is my command.
If communism is so great why don’t all of you that love it go to a communist country and try some of this??!! Try to march in the streets there. Try to live where you have to abide by the communist rules!! See how much freedom you have then!! If it’s so great why do people in communist countries try to come to the U.S.?? Try to get into these other countries without a VISA or PASSPORT!! If you don’t like the United States get out! Go to a communist country and see if you live so great!I remember how people were so terribly treated during world war 2 in the communist countries….if that’s what you want, just go there to live!

Truly, there is no real “news” here. Unions have been very anti-capitalist for decades. Once upon a time, they served a valid purpose. These days, it’s all about political power, and keeping in office those who will assure they their sources of funding don’t dry up. IMHO.
If it wasn’t for the fact that I live in this country, I’d wish these idiots to get exactly what they are asking for- another Che, the brothers Castro, another Lenin with Stalin assisting at his side. Let them move the Venezuela, live under Chavez- only, not at the useful idiots he’d turn them into, giving them a life of “communist brotherhood” but instead, as the actual proles…
What’s comical to me as well is that these people look like the fat, indolent masses, not the hard-scrabble, kicked in the teeth and oppressed farmers and laborers who might actually have had a legitimate complaint or three (not so much now, but back in the day)- hell, the illegal immigrants have a greater concern with exploitation than any single one of those people. It’s hard to take someone who shows a body type of lazy, crappy health (they look as bad as the bible belt crusaders who can’t get their own weight and bad habits under control). Then again, maybe a Chez and Castro would be good for them- get them back on the farms doing some physical work. Ration their food. All for their own good of course.
@62- I’d not have an issue of labor organizing if they weren’t trying to force everyone to join them. They represent an unoffical tax on laborers income, and often spend the money on political campaigns- it’s a political system within a system, and often times, you can’t work at the job or craft you choose unless you give up your own self-direction- how many talented laborers can actually advance past their less talented (or driven) peers or seniors? Advance in pay and seniority based on skill and dedication and not time-in-residence? Damn few is my guess. It’s a serf system under the guise of ‘equality’. F-that.
I wish the SEIU would suddenly make a friend out of Rick Santorum, I’d bet the rank and file leftists in the union would start screaming bloody murder about how their dues are spent, and how wrong it is for the union bosses to usurp their own political voices. They are hypocrites, and like any politically minded group, now exist only to foster and further their own political power.
Oh- and if you look again, it’s not that anyone supporting labor is a commie, it’s that labor is openly associating and supporting communists. If labor were comprised of rational capitalists, who wanted to make sure that workers’ rights were protected, watchdog against exploitation, and support legislation keeping the playing field level (you know, a rational middle), they could not march arm-in-arm with communists, as they would be philosophical rivals, if not out-right political enemies. Rational capitalists and communists cannot find a happy middle ground. Their economic/political beliefs are antithetical.
As for the wealthy- can we get past that trope already? Please? It’s getting really tiresome. I especailly can’t stand to hear it from old hippies anymore (there are far too many where I live), who share less of their accumulated wealth than any conservative small business owner I’ve known (the bulk of “the wealthy” as defined by our Dear Leader). A second set of hypocrites.
So where are the news papers, tv cameras, magazines, et al., covering this mess of humanity? Never saw any of this on any tv channel, or in any news papers I get, or even on the cover of time and news week. Where have the reporters gone? To the grave yards where they belong.
These idiots will march, but how well will they do when the tear gas and rubber bullets are flying?Are they also willing to live in little dilapitated appartments and wait 12 years for a new car like people did in the USSR??
If this weren’t so sad, it would be funny. Our parents were willing to lay down their lives on foreign soil to keep this menace from our shores. The children opened the door and invited it in. There is no shame or outrage left and the inmates are running the asylum. They will attempt to raise a populist dictator, and then the fun begins in earnest. Idiots.
A beaming young woman holds a sign ‘Fight for Communism”. She and all of her communist comrades are fighting for the POWER to totally annihilate our freedom and ALL of our rights. And the right to life itself. And the SEIU are more than happy to walk-unite with the communists.
100 million innocents were ruthlessly murdered by communists. Is that number not sufficient for these haters?
ZOMBIE,
Please, do an article on this.
URGENT ALERT – Proposed new rules for passport will make it almost impossible to get one.
Unless you just applied or re-applied for a U.S. passport, APPLY FOR A PASSPORT NOW before this becomes law. Pass this on to everyone you know.
The form instructs to complete this form in its entirety! (Only Section C, Page 2 has a different requirement!).
Most People Don’t Have the Information Requested!
Ruling elites know that most people don’t have this information! This act will destroy the freedom of good, law-abiding citizens.
Loyal Americans will not be able to travel outside the country! Just like COMMUNIST Cuba!
The personal information will also be given out to a whole lot of people! With a lot less people flying, it will also further severely damage the economy. Another huge injustice; destroying the airline industry which is already struggling to survive.
What happened to the Land of the Free? We are losing our freedom! What a terrible tragedy for America and the Free World. Click on the link for the information and to read the entire article.

Roadblocks to the US Passport
…what you are about to read will disturb you.
According to a 60-day notice in the Federal Register, the State Department is seeking approval for a proposed new passport application form, Form DS-5513.
If approved it will be a mandatory form. Failure to provide the information requested “may result in the denial of a United States passport, related documents, or service to the individual seeking such passport, documents or service.”

The worst enabler of this crap are our friends in the media. (An old story but true.) If thirty or forty goofy hookwormy white supremecists or members of the Aryan Nation have a “rally” anywhere in the U.S. then it is covered like it’s going to be the first gun fired at Fort Sumter. Communists, Latino-separatists and just old-fashioned American-haters march in a rally organized by a major American labor union and there is nothing but a shrug.
Nice to see so many teachers at this clambake. I will never vote for a school levey again until I hear the national teacher’s organizations have disowned this sort of thing.
Right. Where is the media coverage on this. They probably didn’t want to break-in on the coverage of the “royal wedding”. If more people saw what these abominations were up to we might have a chance to defeat obama. But the media, government workers, unions, (even police and fire) are sympathetic to these cretins. I’ve known about the organizing between unions and the socialist and communist parties for years. Most union members are good hard working people, they just aren’t involved enough with the nuts and bolts of their union to know what’s going on. The workers have always been a second thought to the true intent of union leadership which is power and control of government, society, and business. Marx and Lenin wouldn’t listen to the rank and file when it looked like they could avoid some of the blood-shed and violence. They wanted all or nothing. No wonder more and more people are souring over unions as in Wisconsin. Let them keep it up, one day their will be a reckoning when the rest of America gets fed up.
chambers – Very true and that’s what gives me the creeps more than anything else. The vast majority of the media work far harder to cover up and manipulate information than they do to report the truth. The LA Times gave NO indication whatsoever in their article on the rally that it featured communists and SEIU nuts marching together. I mean none at all.
People 25 years old or less don’t remember anything about the threat of communism and the incredibly corrupt and depraved media and school systems along with Hollywood have worked hard to make sure they never learn. And yet masses of nitwits think they’re clever and informed because they watch Jon Stewart. In many ways, we are living an Orwellian nightmare.
Its amazing given what we now know about the history of the Communist movement that anyone could still possible believe in it. Naiveté or just plain ignorance?

if this display, does not tell you, that civil war must happen, then you are lost and should be looking for another country. barry soetero’s mission will be complete, if he is illegally allowed to run for office again. he must be cuffed up now!
Zombie – as always, kudos. Further, major kudos to Ringo. When I can get to his site (still slammed on Saturday evening), I will convey my kudos myself, but I’m leaving them here just in case.
I love your responses in the comments. Keep eating heads, please. It’s the proper occupation for the undead.
Hi Dianna,
I just dropped by and caught your comment…My website has been working for me since this morning. Give it another try.
And thanks for the kudos.
Thx!
The thing about “eating heads” is, I barely have enough spare time to even make the few blog posts I do, and yet moderating comments and replying to things that require a reply usually ends up taking 10x as long as writing the post in the first place!
And I feel guilty about making Ringo’s server melt down. This post rose to #4 on Memeorandum (http://www.memeorandum.com/110506/h2015), meaning it was the fourth-most discussed/linked/visited news topic nationwide for May 6. Crazy! Even turbo-charged servers can barely handle that kind of traffic. Ringo’s threw in the towel after about 45 minutes and haven’t recovered since.
My server crashed on May 6th for most of the day, then crashed again that evening…but it’s been up and running since yesterday morning – at least it is for me.
And, zombie, the way I save time moderating and responding to comments is by not allowing comments on my blog. I’ve considered it but I just don’t want to deal with trolls, and answering questions, and rude people, all the rest.
Thanks again for this post.
Dear Ringo: Thank you for your good work. Between you and Zombie, you both have California covered. Zombie and Roger Simon kick ass on the Trolls when they Comment, unlike Dr. Hanson who, once he writes an essay, is content to leave it with “What I have written, I have written”, leaving the winged Trolls to swoop in and dump their Kos distractions. However, your approach is best.
As to the popular accusation against Jews in pre-WW II Europe that they “all” were bankers, money-lenders and businessmen (ie. captialists), it was my understanding that they were not allowed to own land. If one is intelligent, self-disciplined, responsible and industrious, how else would one make a living?
Please take a look at this video.

If the tea party is extreme and these people are mainstream we are in a lot of trouble
The Communists/Socialist/SEIU Union members at this parade were carrying various anti-American signs. One of the signs was a picture of the devil on the ground with a spear being held to his chest. Written on the devil were these words: Arpaio, Republican Party, The Tea Party and This is our worst enemy. I guess these FOOLS are comparing Arpaio,the Republican Party, and The Tea Party to the devil and claim This (devil) is our worst enemy. I should hope so, because Arpaio, Republican Party, and The Tea Party stand against Communists, therefore their claim about them being their worst enemy would be TRUE.
Liberal Predictability: Celebs, Blacks, Teachers
Some things are as predictable as showers in April, heat in August, and liberals any time of the year.
HEAD FOR THE HILLS, OF OHIO: For example, for whatever reason, it took almost ten years to enter the realm of public knowledge and even then it had to be revealed by the UK press that three noted libs embarked on a hastily-arranged 500 mile road trip in the immediate aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
Not that there was anything wrong with that; anyone living in the City of New York would have loved to flee the city although most were unable for various reasons to escape. The late Michael Jackson, Dame Elizabeth Taylor, and Marlon Brando were able to get out, and get out they did, via a rental car when Jackson was unable to secure a private jet since American air space was shut down because of the attacks.
Reports differ as to details of the trio’s flight to safety but Brando and Jackson seemed to have done all the driving, stopping only to gas up and to fuel up Brando’s insatiable hunger for fast food. They finally ended up in Ohio where, satisfied they were finally secure, they took refuge.
Taylor’s hangers-on deny it all of course, saying she instead went to church, tended to the displaced at some armory, and visited the still-smoldering Ground Zero. Oddly, there were no reports of Liz sightings at any of those locales and no reports of collapsing churches in the days after 9/11. Jackson’s retinue say he arranged safe havens for them in New Jersey. Brando had no apologists. (http://bit.ly/m0Ke4G)
RACE TRUMPS PARTY: In a totally unrelated but equally predictable liberal exhibition, black libs in Missouri have re-defined reapportionment as darkening the political landscape by dumping a white Democrat even though the result was a Republican gain.
It all happened because Republicans controlled both houses of the Missouri legislature, Democrats held the governorship, the Reps gerrymandered the state to strengthen black districts knowing they couldn’t win them, and tossed Dem congressman Russ Carnahan into a 49.5% black district.
The Democrat governor, Jay Nixon, loyal to his party, would have none of it and vetoed the scheme whereupon four black legislators joined the Republicans to override Nixon’s veto and screw the sole white Dem, Carnahan. . .

So this is what you get obama, when you put an Israel hating communist in office of the president of the US. I am so tired of hearing about the Latino`s and the problems the blacks are having in the US. If you do not agree with them you are being racist against them. Most of your Latino`s coming to America these days are expecting to live off the free bees from this country. Thanks in part to the lazy communist party like SEIU that really take advantage of the poor and Latino`s, the Latino`s make for easy pickings, and the blacks do not like us because we used them as slaves, sold to us by their black brothers. You can still go today to Africa and still buy slaves off the black brothers . All you wanabe communist, look at the history of all the countries that turned to communist run government. The pile of dead bodies, they have accumulated after their change to communism is far to great to take an accurate count of the bodies.
The situations will worsen after the Rapture occurs. God is going to remove His Spirit of Truth from the Earth. All of these protesters are already deceived and manipulated… So, it will get worse.
I was afraid of that. What do you think? Asteroid strike or something conspicuously supernatural?
Well, well, now that the masks have come off, this will never happen. There will a resistance to communism the likes you’ve never seen before..
This is some scary stuff.Especially in these times. I don’t think these people truely understand what they are fighting for.
I know Liberty is something sacred and throughout history of man, was not meant to be.
Unfortuneately I guess these people will have to live in a Communistic Soceity to experience the horrors and unjustices associated with this type of culture to truely understand how great Liberty really is.
It is a shame, I hope they never get their way.
This article brings to mind the title of a Shakespeare play: “Much Ado About Nothing.” Of course, you’re going to have loony tunes out in force on the far left just as we have all the white supremacist and militia group loony tunes on the fair right. So what?
I think unions have largely outlived their usefulness. But as long as there are the likes of the Koch Brothers, the Club for Growth, fundamentalist Christian groups, on the far right; as well as the best Congress that corporate money can buy; there will be push-back from the other side.
Does the Tea Party merrily organize rallies with and proudly march alongside and carry the banners of white supremacist groups numbering in the thousands?
As for your second paragraph — didn’t you get the memo that the lame “Koch Brothers” conspiracy theory meme has largely outlived its usefulness?
Zombie: the Koch brothers are alive and well. And you don’t seem to be too knowledgeable about the Tea Party, the religious right, the far right, and how they’re interconnected. Do a little research; it isn’t all a left wing plot.
It is too bad that average rank & file members of the SEIU are being sold down the river by their leadership.
I am so glad you have learn a new name to bash, the Koch Brothers. I agree with you that the unions are not working for the members best interest. That is the rank and file fault and problem, they are just letting these union leaders do whatever they want to do. A lot like the people who complain about the shape our country is in, and do nothing to change the problem but take everything they can get from the politicians. The Koch Brothers run a straight up good business, if it is in the contract you get it or if your a good worker you get a little more. I can tell you this because as a union bricklayer I have worked for the Koch Brothers in the gold mines in Nevada. The repair jobs could last from 1-6 weeks, you always got paid the right money on the right time and your benefits were paid on time. Not like the non union companies operating on non prevailing paying jobs. Most of the non union contractors would try not to give you full pay, especially not paying any overtime and work you to death. I was a bricklayer from 1968 and had to retire in 2007 because of bad knees and back. I would go to work tomorrow for the Koch Brothers if I could still work!
Rick, I am afraid that you are correct. Everywhere I turn I see this country divided between “Gimme Free Stuff” and “Leave me alone to take care of myself and my family.”
I just did a paper on FARC’s links to terror groups..the ties to Al Quieda, ETA, Taliban and SEIU are shocking. Please forget about them being Commies..look at the ties to Terrorists!!!
In the days of Reagan- this filth would never walk the streets of Los Angeles, USA.
In reading all these postings by people w/ IQ’s inteh 120′s, I am a bottom feeder. I ‘see’ all the brain arguments… I ‘takre’ it I am learning some answers to myquestion, “why a majority of Jews voted for obama”… I always wondered.
In all your IQ discussions above–NONE of you ever said anything AMERICAN! Teh aspirations, the want for freedom, for liberty, teh back of the American Dream, the “it” factor called America. You all got into “who’s better, most better, best better..” at all things!
So this is how it’s like to be such educated! Pwahh!
I apologize… my littel brain just couldn’t digest the wonder of you all in front of me!!
What littel I know– the Jews of EU came to America to set up the Federal reserve– the biggest system of legal enslavement known to man, and it’s destroying my country, America. for that, I hate all those Jews!! For that, no more, no less.
GO AHEAD, CALL ME ANTI-SEMITE!
If you insist:
You are an anti-Semite.
No, let’s just call it a Kossite troll.
They purposefully misspelled words – joke troll – wake up.
JEWS..?? Is that what you all have cleverly extracted from this array of pics, comments and videos..?? Nothing but the word “Jews”.
Come on folks..these are SEIU Union members marching hand in hand, lockstep with COMMUNISTS..!! You know..that dreaded group of anti-Americans we’ve been trying to eliminate from our society for decades.
Wake up.!! People have drowned, suffered, been captured, been murdered, tortured and destroyed in unimaginable ways trying to flee countries that are under communist rule.
Talk to some of those poor souls who have escaped and fled to America to get away from this Hitler-ism.
Antisemitism be damned..we’re fighting for our lives here.
You should be standing up to be part of the solution…not the problem..!!!
Do these protestors realize that they are part of the sedition against America? Do they realize that communism is a big lie? It’s time to resurrect the McCarthy investigations and disinfect Washington of all commie/socialist influence.
How in the world can these people seriously march in the streets for something that their kin and ancestors have fled from? Why are they trying to bring that horrible State to America?
Ecclesiastes 10:2 (NIV)
“The heart of the wise inclines to the right,
But the heart of the fool to the left.”
This IS the smoking gun that exposes Obama and the Columbia School of Journalism et.al., all so-called journalism organizations and schools, as co-conspirators to this coup of the American Republic. Where were the journalistas when Obama stood before these “workers” promising his undying love and support and attacking American business? I’ll tell you, they (the American mainstream leftist media) WERE doing their job, helping Obama by keeping silent about the real Obama.
Obama is the modern day Adam Weishaupt. I cannot believe I am living in a world where an Adam Weishaupt has made it to lead the American government. I feel like I should wake up any minute from a bad dream. Weishaupt started a secret society in Germany. They became known as Illuminated Masons. His trick was to garner loyalty by convincing his adapts that they were at the top level of the organization when really they were at the level Weishaupt wanted them. Obama has a similar secret society. And like Weishaupt there are many layers; first you have the soldiers on the ground; SEIU. AFL/CIO, Teamsters, ACORN, who cause discord, intimidation, and vote discrepancies. Then come the CZARs and government department secretaries, who impose regulations and control on day to day activity in America. At the next level you have those who help finance everything, Banks and donors, domestic and foreign (SOROS). Weishaupt was able to get the German Banks as backers, especially Rothschilds (some say it was the Rothschilds who started the Illuminatis, very possible, see; http://www.iamthewitness.com/DarylBradfordSmith_Rothschild.htm). The next level is the top; planners, theorists, and dreamers. They are the influential people to Obama; Ayres, Van Jones, and others . I know I’m beginning to sound like Beck, but it’s hard to explain this in just a few sentences. That is why it is so easy for them to get away with it, most people just dismiss it as tin-foil hat craziness.
I remeber a quote in the bible about people claiming to be Jews but are not they are a ( Synogogue of Satan )SOS. I pity thier souls. These self proclaimed Jews go around stiring up problems in a effort to build momentum against the Jews in Israel. Open up them eyes and remove the scales.
8/15/2014. It’s been about two years since the election. Nobody believed the warnings about a year ago when Fed Chairman Geithner said he had no choice but issue another “easing”, now they just call it “sparking”, but no one has seen any results since 2010. Most people in the neighborhood haven’t worked for nearly two years, since the riots. We banded together to keep an eye out for looters, but we can’t be everywhere at once and the roaming gangs have moved into deserted houses in nearby neighborhoods. Everyone here is talking about leaving town but things need to be planned out before that can happen. There was a rumor that a powerful gang has been overtaking weaker ones and is forming into a well armed force and moving northward through Anaheim, stealing and absorbing everyone and everything in it’s path. If that proves to be true we will have to flee. I think they call themselves the Kubla Khans and their leader is called Alaric V. We’re waiting for the government troops to come and try and stop them but they have been busy these days “guarding” assets. Probably protecting the banks and executives. I don’t know why, they said inflation is at 650% now and no one will take dollars. Gold is the only currency you can use, just have a lot of body guards if you show any. Bullets are the next best currency, since people are loosing a lot to thefts. Food is scarce as the markets have long shut down because of robberies. I sure could use a box of matches. You don’t see a lot of pets these days.
I live in Moscow, Russia and the only time that the Communist flags are around are on May 1, May Day, which not that many are around. And also on May 9th which is Victory Day, the surrender of the Nazi. They are carried by troops marching in WWII uniforms in the parade at Red Square. There are not that many communist left in Russia and those who are commusist are in their 60′s and older.
Sounds like America,,only the ones that still believe in Our Constitution and working for what you get are over 60 yrs old too. Now most expect the Gov’t to baby sit them while the party and waist their futures on narcotics and booze.
I am chuckling at all your remarks. Having lived in Miami for over 40 years I escaped realizing that Hispanics (Cubans) have recreated a “soverign city” for themselves where Americans have had to leave because they are unemployable since by nature they speak only English. Santaria animal sacrifices and voodoo are practiced and one feels that they are in third world country in the making.
This scene is happening all over the country and the public is asleep! Americans and their children are being discriminated in the work force!! And they say nothing. The silence is deafining! You shove your children into “spanish classes” when in fact it’s the Hispanics who should be in English classes. Read the want ads…Bilingual a plus…bilingual only….Shame on all of you for not speaking out and demanding that English be the Official Language of the United States. The more illegals we let in and the more amnesty we give, the more ballots will be in foreiegn languages. Shame on all of us. It’s time to put an end to the LA RAZAS OF THE USA WHO THINK THAT THEY ARE IN CONTROL AND have a special path to the White House.
Finally, I’m 70 years old and I have seen first hand how this country has declined in Patriotism. We have got to end this idea of teaching “Muticulturalism” and start teaching about America. To love your country….YOU MUST KNOW ABOUT YOUR COUNTRY. YOU HAVE GOT TO TEACH OUR CHILDREN AND NEWCOMERS THE HISTORY OF OUR NATION…AND THEY MUST SPEAK ENGLISH IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN…As a former teacher of English for Speaker of other languages…this is imperitive. We have dumbed down the nation and I hope Im not around when it’s a third world country and there will be no one who wants to come here.
@miamiescapee. I live in California and I see the same here. You’d better not get caught having an expired business license of some other over-regulated instrument if you’re a citizen. But if you’re illegal they wont impound your car if you are pulled over without insurance, but a citizen they will. They have broken-heart waivers for illegals. They say it would be a hardship if they lost their car. But it’s OK there here illegally. There are illegal carts businesses all over the state and the police, in the towns that have a large illegal population, just look the other way. I saw a video taken by a reporter in cities in the San Joaquin Valley showing communities where almost everyone is illegal, because of the farms, and there is no law enforcement in regards to zoning, businesses, or anything dealing with commerce. They have let them set up their towns anyway they want.
Finally someone else who can see the problem and the root cause of the problems and what to do about it.Enforce our immigration laws now, and deport those who are breaking them.Let the jobs go to the American citizens.
Hey here is a novel idea.Why don’t some of you multigenerational welfare recipients get off of your butt’s and take those jobs,instead of sucking off of the fruits of my labor.Wages confiscated by a government out of control to take care of you worthless excuses for a human being who have no sense of personal responsibility.
So, they aren’t content with destroying their own country and making it into a cesspool of Poverty, Narcotics and Corruption,,they have to come here and Replant everything that made their country SUCK. We must look like such idiots to the rest of the world, no wonder they laugh at us, U.S., and think WE are the Great Satans.
Be careful what you wish for,,,you may just get it. Hellow more poverty, corruption and starvation. It’s what makes Communism,,Communism. these people have never lived in a REAL Communist country,,,and they will Hate what they see when their wishes and wants come true..
Lets start a new immigration policy SEND theis wanttobe commumist to a commumist country so we have room for real americans who respect this country for what it is.SHEAS REBELLION!!!!!!!
The whole thing makes me sick. One doesn’t have to be a genius to see that Communism has brought more misery and death on the world. These people are crazy.
Good Lord. This is America — peeps have a right to march and protest anything. Why aren’t you, Zombie, celebrating the exercise of a Constitutional right?
Oh, wait — I get it. You are scare that “they” will take over and change your life.
Where do I say I’m not celebrating it? Where do I say they don’t have they right?
Of course I’m celebrating it. Nothing makes me happier than seeing my political opponents beclown themselves in public.
I personally wish the SEIU would march with the communists every day! Then the truth would be more widely known.
As a strict constitutionalist, I believe in free speech. I am personnally proud that I live in a country that allows these folks to freely assemble and express their beliefs. I’m a 62 year old real estate developer, a fiscal conservative but also proudly independent. I am not offended in the least by these pictures. Personally, I think wage earners are getting shafted in this country, while we are becoming more plutocracy as our democracy wanes.
I have a hard time figuring out the unions. The first thing that communists do is get rid of anyone who opposes their power. It was a union that broke their hold on power in Poland. Oh wait a minute it was the workers that did it not their masters. So workers of the world if you do not want to be a slave you had better run away from your leaders of to day and do it fast.
There has never been a real communist country. There have been autocratic regimes posing as such but never an industrialized society completely based on communistic principles.
The reality in this country is that the old idea that “you will do better than your parents” used to be true (till the late 1970′s) but since then real wages have been relatively flat. This means that a guy with the same job as someone in the 1970′s can buy about the same amount of stuff as his 70′s counterpart. We should note here that average worker productivity HAS still been increasing (the adoption of things like computers). A working class that had been fed on a 150 year history of rising wages and consumption was faced with a crisis. The working class solved this problem with two main solutions: it solicited women in families to work, with both men and women working longer hours and with the adoption of credit cards to finance consumption that the wages could not supply.
It worked well for awhile. American workers ignored their growing obligations to creditors and participated in the false illusion of the rising standard of living. The recent recessions in our time are a sort of coming to terms with these economic realities. These are deep structural problems that seem to be a logical consequence of capitalism itself easy as it is to blame some players in the system (reckless home buyers, bankers, wall street, corporations, communists, etc.). People who read this article probably fear the people carrying signs in the above photos but they should worry more about conservatives and the so-called “defenders of the free market”. They are doing more to cripple and destroy your cherished system than the left is. Obama is trying save capitalism and people treat him so badly for it. In any case unless private industry makes huge concessions to its workers there will simply not be enough demand to chase the goods and services private industry has the capacity to produce.
As a union member working in the public sector (and yes, I do work), the photos of the Commies is a skewed sampling of the overall picture. They’re extremists, attention-seekers. Choose to believe what you wish.
I’m also a Navy veteran who lives in Texas.
How does this turn into a conversation of the damage Jews have done to this country.Jewish people are often conservative and most are anti marxist,communist,socialist,whatever you want to call this ideology that has been a proven loser.Ask the people in Tianamin square about their views.Or ask your average working Russian how communism worked out for them.
Now we have a bunch of uneducated criminals in the illegal aliens ranks,who have come here illegally and most of whom are content to suck off of the government teat and scream about inequality.But in the same breath they are screaming about revolution and taking the southwest back for Mexico.
If Mexico is so damn great why don’t the fools stay there,because I sure as hell don’t want my country to be like Mexico.But sadly many areas of the southwest United States are just like Mexico.They are a drain on our social services,Our local,state,and federal education dollars,and our medical system with the rest of us paying for it by higher medical costs and with our social service dollars.
I like many taxpaying U.S. citizens.Not like the 51% who either pay no tax or receive more in social services than they pay in taxes.In other words those of who work and struggle to send our kids to college along with our children rob peter to pay the govenment work two jobs and go into debt which we and our children repay.Meanwhile the 51% who don’t are made up by the lazies,the addicts,the drunks,the scum,and the multigenerational recipients of welfare dollars,as well as these criminal illegal aliens.
I am damn tired of seeing the signs in spanish as I drive through my community and having to deal with people who cannot understand or speak english in my own country.I expect to deal with this if I go to Mexico to visit.But if you are going to come here,come legally,learn the language,have a love of our country and it’s culture,assimilate into our culture,or get the hell out of my country and go back from where you came.Especially you worthless S.O.B.’s who march through our streets preaching revolution and taking out country back for some piece of crap third world country.
And why are teachers still employed who coerce students into attending a rally to overthrow our country.Teachers are only to teach the curriculum and the furthest they should take politics is to encourage young Americans to get involved in the greatest democracy in the world.As well why do teachers still hold government paid jobs while screaming about bringing our country down in the streets.Fire them with no eligibility for any kind of benefits, let them go teach in Mexico.
The People need to take back control of their nation. Supreme Court Justices who unConstitutionally mandate “Laws” that violate the Will of the vast Majority should be removed immediately by the People and their Mandates expunged. Members of Congress who don’t represent the People, and a President who WANTS to bankrupt the nation, likewise. The People need to organize nationwide to take charge by Referendum or whatever method our Constitution allows us to develop.
Hey, Zombie! Whatta great piece by you! But, do you think there’s ANY possibility that the obviously lovely Eurasian gal in the first photo holding the “Wisconsin to Libya, Workers Of The World, Unite!” sign can be converted to a Patriot? She’s gorgeous!
zombie, thank you very much for your nice little expose of the Hispanic hypocrisy regarding the American Southwest. I don’t think I could have said it better.
I will add that it is driven first of all by greed for the prosperity of the U.S., up to this point at least, compared to Mexico.
2nd of all, this is fomented by the Roman Catholic order of the Jesuits, who despise the U.S. (and any other non-Roman Catholic country and entity), because it represents mostly, Christianity, who they hate with a vicious passion. Well, if you have been watching the news the last few years, they are heavily involved in kiddy diddling, dorking little boys, and some girls. They want to drive as many Roman Catholic Hispanics/Mexicans/Latinos/South Americans into the U.S., in the hopes of making us their dream home, a Roman Catholic U.S. . Once that happens, well,…, once the rest of the world falls under their influence, it is lights out for liberty. It will be the Spanish Inquisition all over again, but far worse. Remember WWII in Europe? It was a Pope who said, Adolph Hitler was a son of the church. They praised him, they worked tirelessly to get the Nazis out of Europe to escape prosecution. Look up the Nazi Ratlines.
Remember the Serbs and Croats? The Nazi Roman Catholic Croats were more savage than the other Nazis. Look up Ustashi, or Ustashe. They were led by Jesuits.
Well you say, that was WWII; things have changed since then, they don’t do that anymore. Want to bet on that? Look at the Balkans in the mid 90′s. It was the same thing again, a savage Ustashe butchery of the Serbs.
Surely, you reason, that was almost 20 years ago. Yes, they HAVE changed.
Look one more time- Zimbabwe – Robert Mugabe, trained by Jesuits. He came to power under the guise of Communism. Wait… COMMUNISM? WHAT? The Catholic Church hates the Communists, don’t they? Look again… remember, the Jesuits will do ANYTHING, if it will further their agenda, even kill their own people. Yes, their own Roman Catholics. They set people up for the big fall, so they can destroy them. They did this to Czarist Russia as revenge for their hate for the Jesuits. On and on it goes, till they are finally caught in their own web.
Nothing has changed, and they won’t change till they are ripped to pieces, every last one of them. They worship the Black Prince of Darkness, their hearts are black as coal, and they are as rotten and morbid as a dead goat.
The Jesuits are the militant clerical arm of the Roman Catholic Church. They neither believe in God, nor Roman Catholic doctrine, only in hundreds of trillions of dollars in wealth. Not that the Roman Catholic doctrine is desirable either. It is as false as a three dollar bill. But the Jesuits just cut to the chase. See why the devil loves them?
The Jesuits instigate nation against nation, race against race, Christian against Christian, and any other kind of division until there is no more unity. As the saying goes, a house divided cannot stand.
Of course, the Roman Catholic Church is no better than the Jesuits; they have the same hate for true Christianity as the Jesuits. The Jesuits are just more agressive about it. The Jesuits provide as many facets as required, in order to separate people from each other. Extreme right wing – (persecute anybody for the smallest crime, murder abortionists (see the hypocrisy there?), while the church itself has been proven to committed abortion in it’s own nunneries, for centuries. Look up the issues with nunneries in Spain centuries ago). Meanwhile, on the other side, they foment the extremely vitriolic and volatile liberal hatred against Christians, while many themselves are Christians. Well, so you don’t like neither of those; they also offer Communism, Fascism, Illuminism (enlightened Freemasonry), Black Liberation Theology, and other lies far too numerous to number. The Jesuits are worth nothing at all. They are liars, backstabbers, thieves, murderers, and worst of all, extremely intelligent; the smartest of the smart.
Who are these Jesuits? They were founded by a Spaniard, Ignatius Loyola. He was an extremely courageous soldier, but foolhardy and in the end very wicked. He taught his wicked ways to other men, and so they are today still. They are so wicked, they have the audacity to tell the pope he had better do as they tell him, or he’ll be a rotten carcass. Think I am kidding? Google Albino Luciani- aka Pope John Paul I. Not a bad thing, except they both worship the same devil. In case you aren’t a Christian and think you are safe then, well I have some news for you, they hate anybody who isn’t Roman Catholic.
You might say then, “I’ll become a Roman Catholic then.” Well, then you will be smoking in hell with them, and no doubt they’ll take your arsehole at their pleasure. It won’t be fun either. You’ll endure their torment, and there will be no end to it, nor any comfort. No second chance.
So no doubt the Jesuits have a special interest in turning the U.S. into a Spanish territory once again. Once they do that, they will kill the Hispanics, Mexicans, Latinos, along with anybody else they hate, or they will do as they did in South America centuries ago: enslave them as well. After all, they don’t want to share the potential wealth with hundreds of millions of “losers”. They want to rule the world for one reason- to have someone else make life easy for them. That is it.
The Jesuits are guided by the Devil, and to the Devil they shall go – straight to hell. No doubt, in hell the strongest will rule, and they would be among the strongest. Want to be raped by one of these perverts in hell? I didn’t think so.
BTW, google some of the past and current leading Communists, and find out where they were educated. Hint: Jesuit colleges and Universities, or if not there, they were groomed and trained by Jesuits.
Just remember what Ephesians 6:12 says:
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places].”
So to leave on a positive note, arm yourselves with the knowledge of God’s word, so you can know how to overcome the powers of darkness.
God Bless all who heed God’s word and take it’s warning and knowledge to heart
I didn’t know Jack Chick visited Pajamas Media. Hi Jack! I used to be one of your biggest fans, and then I found the true faith!
Oh how I prayed throughout this story to read something along the lines of ‘and they fled as they were pelted with rocks! Take that, communism!’ too bad.
Just go to Cuba, folks!
Look at all these pathetic conservatives panting and whining about people exercising their “GOD GIVEN” right to expression. And No, you don’t earn your rights by killing a Muslim as so many American knuckleheads seem to believe! And no you don’t earn them by mindlessly obeying the stupid little commands of military fascists who insist on dressing up like children.
Man, you conservative Caucasians are terrified of everything!
If you want people to believe you are anything other than a lefty sockpuppet leaving multiple messages under different names, you really gotta expand your vocabulary and stop reusing the same words like “knucklhead” in every comment. Sheesh, what is this, Amateur Troll Night?
Jews are generally smarter than we are simply because over the centuries of pogroms and discrimination the surviving Jews became smarter – you see, the stupid ones were eliminated. When in high school my mother, a very religious Roman Catholic, asked me why I was spending so much time with my fellow Jews from school; she said that the Jews killed Jesus. I said: “Mother – Jesus was a Jew, and so were the saint Joseph and the Virgin Mary!” She stopped totally confused – and that was the last time I heard her comment negatively about the Jews. As for the Jews being good bankers, lawyers, shopowners and musicians – they were not allowed to be land owners, or work in government, or engage in politics…
I’m curious about something, perhaps the regular posters can clear it up. The “rules” for posting say “no ad hominem” when disagreeing. But this whole article is ad hominem. It just calls everyone a communist, whether they’re a communist, or just someone who was walking down the street that had communists walking on it, or whether they’re a candidate for office who made a speech to a bunch of people who held a rally that some communists chose to attend. Heck, it just calls everyone “communists” without even explaining why that’s bad, as in this very real irony about why, in a country that has a first amendment, are we concerned if there are a few hundred communists walking around? Are they armed? Are they shooting at anyone? Isn’t this site a place for people who are dedicated to the Bill of Rights? Didn’t our soldiers throughout history die to protect that?
So what does “no ad hominem” mean in this context? Does anything in this article, or the whole website, mean anything at all? Or is this just some kind of party where the only things that matter about the music is whether it has a good beat and you can dance to it?
Am I the one saying the people in the photos are communists? No. They are self-identifying as communists.
That’s not an ad hominem attack: This is simply re-posting unaltered photos of people expressing themselves publicly.
As for me being “concerned” that communists are walking around: Actually I’m quite PLEASED they are walking around. Please, folks, continue to express your First Amendment Rights!
Like I said to an earlier commenter: They more these people self-identify in public, the more that America will know the truth.
You lefties are really really trying to find some aspect of this report to criticize, and you are coming up empty. Your comment was about the feeblest critique so far.
I’m not a lefty. I don’t belong to a union. My wife doesn’t belong to a union. I am an independent contractor, self-employed my whole adult life. I have no horse in this race. So you have continued your ad hominem attacks by calling me a lefty, even though you don’t know anything about me, because you’re hoping most readers here will dismiss anything called “lefty” without even thinking it over. Get a dictionary, bro. That’s the definition of ad hominem. So you’ve done it on the comment board, so we can expect you to delete yourself, right?
But you’re being disingenuous. I actually know how to read, and how to read critically — something not taught well in school these days, much to the detriment and shame of this country, that now ranks between 15th and 40th in every measurable income and quality of life category, in each case behind countries you’d call “socialist.” You’re not attacking the self-identified communists. Your article is stating that SEIU is communist because there were communists at a rally they sponsored, and then you go a step further to say Obama is a communist and/or facilitating the expansion of communism because he spoke to the SEIU while campaigning. To put a finer point on it, you’re combining ad hominem with guilt by association. What you have not done once, either in your article or in you responses to people’s comments, is present a persuasive argument. Maybe you’re not up on (or up to) debating standards, but even my public school educated first grader knows the rudiments of the persuasive essay. Perhaps you’ll take that to mean she’s a lefty, being taught by lefties. Be careful when retiring tonight — there may be a red under your bed.
And not for nothing, but I can’t tell you how impressed I am with the quality of your readership. Their composition should tell you a great deal about the quality of your writing. But for heaven’s sake, don’t let anyone say Tea Partiers have a tad more than their share of brain-dead bigots.
They weren’t just “communists at a rally they [the SEIU] sponsored.” The SEIU co-sponsored the rally with self-identified communist groups. As my links demonstrated.
They didn’t just stand near each other during a march, ignoring each other’s messages: Communists carried union signs and unionists waved communist flags. The SEIU walked behind communist leaders and yelled chants led by communists.
Your attempts to establish some sort of ideological space between the SEIU and the communists are belied by the visual and video evidence and by the words and Web sites of both the SEIU and the communists. Sorry. The two groups are quickly merging.
And then you go further and try to downpay Obama’s connection to the SEIU by saying he simply “spoke to them while campaigning.” Come on, history doesn’t get erased that easily. Obama himself said he owed his entire political career to the SEIU. He himself said he worked with the SEIU. He himself said his goal was to give the SEIU more power.
It’s not “guilt by association” when you are a member of the group.
You say you’re not a lefty, but you defend socialist nations as compared to the US. That speaks for itself.
Any argument can be construed and twisted by anyone to be seen as “ad hominem.” Any time someone tries to undermine someone else’s position, why that’s an ad hominem attack!
Compared to the vitriol and irrationalism and one-sidedness and illiteracy of just about 99% other blogs and Web sites, this place is a veritable Athenian agora.
Look: Ringo’s pictures speak for themselves. No amount of grappling with the PJM commenters after the fact will diminish the photos’ impact.
I did not defend any socialist country. I actually said the opposite — that it is to our shame that we are so far behind them in so many measures of quality of life, INCLUDING INCOME, which is a raw number not subject to “quality of life” judgments. I’ll repeat that, because I know you won’t invest so much energy as to read my post and correct your ad-hominem error: I said that our low rankings, which get lower every year, compared to socialist countries, is to our detriment and shame. Got it? Or are you going to keep defending failure by hiding it behind your made-in-China plastic flag?
I see. So you said — no, you insisted — twice, that the U.S. is far behind socialist countries in income. And you claim that by pointing out this “fact,” you are not championing socialism.
So, let’s look at the charts, shall we?
You can calculate it either of two ways: either as average per capita income, or median household income (which some say is more accurate, because it doesn’t have skewed averages due to a small number of extremely wealthy people). How about we check out both?
Median household income, worldwide:
Rank / Country
1 Luxembourg 34,407
2 United States 31,111
3 Norway 31,011
4 Iceland 28,166
5 Australia 26,915
6 Switzerland 26,844
7 Canada 25,363
8 United Kingdom 25,168
9 Ireland 24,677
10 Austria 24,114
11 Netherlands 24,024
12 Sweden 22,889
13 Denmark 22,461
14 Belgium 21,532
15 Germany 21,241
16 Finland 20,875
17 New Zealand 20,679
18 France 19,615
19 Japan 19,432
20 South Korea 19,179
21 Slovenia 18,860
22 Spain 18,391
23 Italy 16,866
24 Greece 15,758
25 Israel 14,055
26 Czech Republic 12,596
27 Portugal 12,515
28 Estonia 9,836
29 Poland 9,113
30 Slovak Republic 9,071
31 Hungary 8,531
32 Chile 7,851
33 Turkey 5,940
34 Mexico 4,689
Notice how that not only is the U.S. #2 in the world, behind ultra-capitalist Luxembourg, but that no communist or socialist countries even made the top 34, because their median household income is so low.
Don’t like that way of calculcating it? OK, let’s try averages:
Average income per capita
1 Qatar 88,559
2 Luxembourg 81,383
3 Singapore 56,522
4 Norway 52,013
5 Brunei 48,892
6 United Arab Emirates 48,821
7 United States 47,284
— Hong Kong 45,736
8 Switzerland 41,663
9 Netherlands 40,765
10 Australia 39,699
11 Austria 39,634
12 Canada 39,057
13 Ireland 38,550
14 Sweden 38,031
15 Kuwait 37,849
16 Iceland 36,621
17 Denmark 36,450
18 Belgium 36,100
19 Germany 36,033
20 Taiwan 35,227
21 United Kingdom 34,920
22 Finland 34,585
23 France 34,077
24 Japan 33,805
25 Korea, South 29,836
26 Spain 29,742
27 Israel 29,531
28 Italy 29,392
29 Greece 28,434
…etc.
Ooops, once again, no socialist countries are ahead of the U.S or even in the top 30. (Hong Kong may be controlled by China now, but it still has been allowed to maintain its 100% capitalist economy.) But this time they list every country, so we can scroll down the list to find a few socialist/communist examples:
94 China, People’s Republic of 7,519
130 Vietnam 3,134
Cuba’s so low, it doesn’t even make the list in most cases, except for one list, where it comes in 86th, behind Suriname.
Don’t like that way of calculating it either? Well we could try Mean household income — oops, the U.S. is #2 there too, and no socialist countries even make the list.
In fact, no matter which way you slice it, the US has far far more per capita income than any socialist country.
As to your textbook Alinsky strategy of “making your opponent play strictly by the rules — rules which you get to ignore,” I say this: I can’t make an ad hominem attack on you because it would be more accurately described as ad buffoonem.
Now stop wasting our time with your amateur-level trolling.
First, I have no idea what SEIU stands for. But, I find airing differences of opinion to be a good idea. Read the book “Wild Swans” if you want to know the truth about Communism.
Second, I am a Christian and sorry, Catholicism is a perversion of Christianity. As mentioned, the earliest Christians were Jews, Jesus IS a Jew, and Mary was not some nice little Catholic girl, but a Jew. Catholicism is a political and financial juggernaut, which helped get Nazi War Criminals out of Europe. Anti-Semitism was part of the very fabric of Catholicism from the time it became the State Religion under Rome.
Yes,it is sad that there are some Jewish people who embrace Socialism/Communism, but to brand an entire race of people as Communist sympathizers is narrow-minded bigotry.
Here’s the deal – this event is a predictable response to the extremism on the right. When the rich stop stealing from the poor the poor will stop talking about revolution. To pay for tax cuts for the richest Americans they want to educate your children less, pay you less, and provide less benefits. I think a person should pay a the same percentage of income regardless of where the income comes from, whether it be an hourly wage or capital gains, is that so radical? When the division between the rich and the poor starts trending the other direction you won’t see events like this.
We are all Americans, regardless of political ideology. I love my country no more or less than you. I pay taxes and I deserve a voice too. The right wing doesn’t like to compromise though. They push their values onto others. Don’t like abortion? Don’t get one – duh. Don’t make that decision for someone else. Like the constitution do you, the second amendment stuff, but what about the right to practice your own religion? Reading this board it seems like Jews, Muslims, Immigrant Workers, and generally anyone who is slightly different than you is a crime. Get over it, this is the future. Changes have to be made to govern a nation of 300+ million people that differ from you.
14 wearisome and debunked leftist credos in just two paragraphs! Not bad.
1. “predictable response“:
As I have amply documented at zombietime, these type of public displays of aggressive communism have been going on for years and years, long before there was a Tea Party. They’re not a “response” to anything — calling for revolution is just what communists do, and have done for over a century and a half.
2. “extremism on the right”:
Keep drifting in your dream world. The Tea Party is centrist, not rightist. The putative “center” in this country has been consciously shifted so far leftward in recent decades, with a major acceleration since 2008, that what used to be deemed “normal” or even “liberal” is now decried as extreme right-wing thought. Advocating for a smaller, less intrusive government (as the Tea Party does) not so long ago in history was seen as the OPPOSITE of the kind of extreme rightism that led to fascism.
3. “When the rich stop stealing from the poor“:
Tell me again how that is happening? As far as I (and the majority of Americans) can tell, the rich are SUPPORTING the poor on a daily basis in an overly lavish welfare state.
4. “the richest Americans they want to educate your children less, pay you less, and provide less benefits“:
This fisks itself. Your thesis here is that the richest Americans pay out of their own pockets for the education, salary, health care and welfare benefits of the poor. But didn’t you just state quite sincerely in the previous sentence that the rich are stealing from the poor? How can somebody totally support someone else and yet be accused of “stealing” from them? What the “richest Americans” want is to have the amount of money stolen from them decreased by some tiny percentage. Horrors!
5. “I think a person should pay a the same percentage of income regardless of where the income comes from, whether it be an hourly wage or capital gains, is that so radical?”
I see. So you are in favor of a flat tax, and not the progressive tax rate we currently have, under which the more you earn the higher percentage you pay. Interesting position, for a leftist to favor a flat tax. I agree with you! Let everybody pay the same percentage. Or…did you just unintentionally put your foot in your mouth?
6. “When the division between the rich and the poor starts trending the other direction you won’t see events like this.”
Sadly, as pointed out above, “events like this” happen on a continuous basis, no matter what way the economy is trending.
7. “I love my country no more or less than you.”
You think you do, but you are mistaken. You are gullibly open to and advocating for an ideology (socialism) pushed by people whose openly stated goal is to destroy America. If you really really loved this country as much as me, you’d wise up and realize that contemporary leftist ideology is a nothing less than a strategy to destroy this country, promulgated under euphemistic labels by clever ideologues.
8. “The right wing doesn’t like to compromise“:
Pot, meet kettle. In psychology, this is called “projection.”
9. “They push their values onto others.”
And the left doesn’t? Puh-leeze. That’s what politics is: pushing one’s values through the democratic process. Better get used to it, because no one on either side is ever going to stop pushing.
10. “Don’t like abortion? Don’t get one“:
“Don’t like murder? Then don’t murder anyone.” I personally may be pro-choice, but your particular argument/slogan is hackneyed and utterly valueless. People who don’t like abortion don’t like it because they think it is the equivalent of killing a human being. Can’t you grasp that?
11. “Don’t make that decision for someone else.“:
Again, you’re missing the point. To extend your analogy to its full conclusion, we should have no laws nor prohibitions in our society, because we shouldn’t be foisting our values on anyone else. “Don’t like theft? Then don’t steal anything!” “Don’t like getting raped? Then don’t rape anyone!” Sorry, it’s doesn’t work that way. Vacuous slogans like the ones you parrot have zero effect on undermining the moral conviction of abortion opponents.
12. “…what about the right to practice your own religion? Reading this board it seems like Jews, Muslims, Immigrant Workers, and generally anyone who is slightly different than you is a crime“:
“Right-wingers” and Tea Partiers are the ones who are pro-Jew and pro-Israel; left-wingers are the new anti-Semites. Don’t confuse a handful of comments likely left by progressive mobies serve as a justification for reversing the self-evident political alliances in this country. Conservatives are pro-religion: it is your political allies who want to eliminate the practice of religion in this country.
13. “Get over it, this is the future.”
Actually, no, this is now. The future will be the future. Anyone who says they know what the future will bring is either deluded or lying.
14. ” a nation of 300+ million people that differ from you.”:
Who is this nefarious “you” to which you refer? Are you under the sad and barren impression that the Tea Party and small-government advocates in general are some monochromatic lockstep army of uptight WASPs? A desire for individual freedom knows no skin color.
Let’s do this.
1.Where was the tea party before Obama. Bush ran up huge deficits even after he took the war in Iraq off the budget, by the way, Obama put the wars back in. You’re right though, communists have been around longer than tea baggers, maybe because it is a real ideology, and not some astro-turf movement paid for by the richest people in the world. I seem to remember when Clinton was in office we were running a budget surplus. The argument for you is that Clinton didn’t have 9/11, I’m sure that had something to do with it but you have to agree the “Bush” tax cuts cost the country a lot of money.
2. The tea party is significantly right of center. If you don’t think so I’m wasting my time because you are either crazy or have never taken an entry level political science course.
3.I’ll tone down the rich stealing from the poor commentary. I just think that capital gains being taxed at 15% is ridiculous.
4.If you are rich you are lucky. Lucky to be born in America. Let’s talk about the super rich, how about instead of getting tax lawyers to reduce their contribution they have to make they actually helped invest in the infrastructure of our country. Let’s talk about GE’s $3.6 Billion tax credit because have a tax team that consists of 970 lawyers. If anyone is getting screwed in America, it is not the guy that can afford two homes.
5.Actually, in my opinion, everyone’s taxes should go up, there should be no cap gains, and there should be a progressive tax code. I’m just willing to compromise a little.
6.The division between the rich and the poor is trending towards the richest Americans controlling larger percentages of the entire wealth of the nation. If you don’t know this then you are deliberately choosing to ignore the facts. The fact is, if you gave a person who works a full-time job that paid a living wage they wouldn’t have much to complain about. Yes, I believe that garbage men should be able to live the American dream, is that so horrific?
7.I’m gullible and mistaken. I think you are. What do you do? I attended public schools until I was offered a full scholarship to attend a private college, where I eventually earned my degree in political science. I now own my own business with over 20 employees. Honestly, I can’t believe I’m wasting my time like this. Who are you to call me mistaken?
8.The problem with the left is that they let everyone have a voice. We have the gays, the women, the minorities. The right wingers are usually fat, old, white men that are scared of the minorities that are moving in next to them. The only candidate the Republicans have that is slightly moderate is Mitt, but he won’t be the nominee because he compromised on health care. I’m sure you can say a lot of things positive about the Tea Party, but certainly not “inclusive” or “compromising.”
9.Going to skip this one – just ask yourself, would the tea baggers ever support a candidate that was, say, a gay, black, Muslim, even if he was a champion for lowering taxes.
10.You are a douche for even trying to make this argument. I don’t believe it is murder for terminating an unwanted pregnancy. It is common sense. Oh, by the way, I was adopted in 1974, I could have been aborted, but luckily for the world I wasn’t. Still doesn’t change the fact that, even though I don’t like abortion, it is not my decision to make. I never said we should make crimes where there is a clear victim legal.
11.That is the same argument that people make about gay marriage. “If we let them marry another person of the same sex, they will be marrying their dogs next.” That argument is seriously flawed.
12.I am an atheist, let’s get rid of religion, I’m down. A person has to be pretty gullible to believe that when they die they get to go to a perfect place, where all their loved ones will be, for eternity. I always like it when Christians make fun of the Muslim religion because of the 72 virgins thing. If I was choosing a religion just by the promised afterlife I’d totally go Muslim.
13.I’m just saying that paradigms are shifting. It will take a lot of ingenuity to solve the problems that are ahead of us. There will be no simple answers, but one thing for sure, this country will continue to evolve.
14.”You” is me, “you” is everyone I associate with. “You” is anyone with an open mind not clouded by greed. The tea party is all about lowering taxes. Money. That’s it. Deep argument. “I wantsed me some more money, and the the damn guvment is makin’ roads.” It is always the same person who complains about potholes that complains about taxes. You just can’t seem to put the two together.
So much for “the facts don’t lie!” So what if communism/socialism practiced over the long term has been proven to enslave the citizens of the country in which it is practiced. So what if the income level in those countries is worse than poverty level.
Who cares? What is important, however, is that somewhere within the system, somebody is getting something for free! They’re not having to work but by God, they’re getting something for free. The state is providing them with something.
Now, don’t confuse me with details because I can’t exactly tell you what it is they’re getting for free, or even if they actually had to show up at a gulag and do something in exchange for whatever it was the state is giving them, but by God, let’s all have some of that.
That crazy notion of actually working, inventing, creative enterprise and being rewarded for your efforts is just – how do I say it? – outdated!
That’s it. Why work when someone else will and I’ll get something for free?
Yes indeed, that communism thing is just peachy. Until there ain’t no more peaches.
One can only imagine how much better off the United States would be if California simply broke off, and sank into the ocean.
Words cannot describe how mentally unstable the majority of the inhabitants of California really are. They should be allowed to become their own nation or rejoin Mexico. They deserve one another.
I think we all need to take a breath and get into the problems not the people. The world and laws have changed for centuries if you can talk about it online then we should all stand up “as human beings” and try to figure out how to change the laws to benefit everyone.
I wanna get me some of dat commie hottie
Communism is a failed system. The USSR no longer exists. Communist China has even had to embrace capitalism to survive.
EVERY communist government is and has been a total ruthless dictatorship.
May Day and the Communist SEIU
May Day, the first day of the merry month of May, was once best known as the day of spring festivals, but that was in long ago and far away places. It is also the day which Catholics devote to the Blessed Virgin and offer prayerful festivities in her honor.
Last century, May Day became synonymous with a celebration of communists, anarchists, and socialists orchestrated by the U.S.S.R. to give their worker-drones a rare day off and the illusion that they mattered. Attended by massive parades in which the Soviets exhibited the weaponry with which it swore to bury the United States and the West, May Day is still associated with communists who today swear to subvert, corrupt, and destroy the U.S. and Western democracies as they now exist.
Most American organizations eschew the communist label because of the unsavory history of that group although many organizations profess the same subversive beliefs as communists and employ similar tactics and strategies to collectivize America and undermine our institutions.
Communism in the United States isn’t dead. It has simply retreated into the closet.
With 1.8 million members, the powerful Service Employees International Union, the SEIU, is one of the fastest-growing unions in America although it hasn’t yet flown the communist banner but it doesn’t have to.
Established in 1921 as the BSEIU and representing those employed in health care, (hospital and nursing home workers), public service employees, (local and state government employees), and property service workers, (janitors and security officers), the SEIU has become a formidable force on the American labor–and political– scenes.
An early and committed supporter of the candidacy of Barack Hussein Obama in 2008, the SEIU exercised its political power during that campaign mainly through thuggery and intimidation. Following those strong arm successes, the union repeated the tactics at town hall meetings in 2009 for which numerous SEIU enforcers were arrested. Michelle Malkin has aptly described its shock troop tactics as “the persuasion of power.”
It’s a persuasion and influence they achieve not only by raw violence but by the happenstance that SEIU members calibrate and maintain voting machines in various localities.
The union was richly rewarded for its unstinting support and “persuasion” by being granted virtually unlimited access to the White House in the person of its former president, Andy Stern. Precisely what Stern discussed with Obama and Obamian functionaries and lackeys has not been disclosed. Based on the SEIU and Obama’s history, none of it could have been good for the country.
However, back to May Day . . .

Zombie, “they” are taking over. Ride that wave, dude.
It’s NOT 1980 anymore. Uh, communists, immigrants, liberals, libertarians, hippies, teen moms, Grandmas, Jews — “they” are here….
What the phuck are you thinking? Your idiots! Please move to another county and become someone elses voice, not America’s.
I made it to Malinse’s comment to Micha Ely on 2011.MAY.07 before the blood started to leak from my ears, eyes and nose as I imagined a protest peopled by the commentators on this post.
Guy w/ Bullhorn: “What do we want”?
Crowd: “The Constitution and the Rule of Law”!
Guy w/Bullhorn: “How do we get it”?
Crowd: (Every single freaking comment on this post added to every other political comment by the Pretarded Net Nit Noids that infest the interwebs these days screamed at the top of their lungs) i.e. “Noise”
I wonder how one go’s about finding a heroin dealer, or gets someone to shoot a platinum pin into ones brain. Because, you know, “NOISE” just is not going to work. I think I’ll go bang my head against the wall until something better comes along.

Nice that Zombie shut down my reply mode when he posted a bunch of false statistics. I guess there is a limit to disagreement here.
First of all, all three of the OPEC countries ahead of us on per capita income on your list are socialist, as is Norway, at least by the standards you’d use to identify “socialism,” that is, mixed economies that let the private sector do what it’s good at, and use tax-funded government agencies to do things people need that markets don’t provide. So you’ve brought up a pretty poor example of America and capitalism in general being on top. And according to the CIA World Factbook, we’re 10th now, not 7th. We slipped two notches since Wikipedia’s been updated. Nice work sourcing, Mr. Reporter.
Also, median household income is not a wealth statistic, which you know, of course.
I note you did not examine life expectancy, where we rank 49th (yes, you read that right). Our growth rate is 122nd, just over half the world rate.
I would ask you how you feel about Cuba having a higher literacy rate and a lower infant mortality rate than the United States, but since you believe feeling bad about that is the same as promoting socialism, don’t bother to answer. If there are any honest thinkers out there on the right, I’d appreciate your thoughts on whether you’d rather have our country be better than Cuba on those two things, and if so, how you’d get the free market to accomplish that, since neither are associated with market motivators like “profit” or “return to investment” or “accumulation of capital” yet both are vital to economic growth and national security.
The reason I’m taking Zombie (who uses an apt nickname) to task on this stuff is because I don’t think “America, love it or leave it” or just shuffling along waving a Made In China flag around like a zombie is a patriotic position. A patriotic position would be not being celebratory of such low performance standards, and striving to be the best at enough things that we don’t have to say we average out at being the 20th best place to live, or at least have a higher literacy rate and lower infant mortality rate than freakin’ Cuba.
I know this strategy. It’s called “the time-waster.” Getting more and more common these days. They identify someone they think is scoring points for the other side, and then attempt to drag that person into time-wasting activities like coping with meaningless off-topic nitpicking and misrepresentation, to prevent further points from being scored.
The effective counter-strategy? Change setting to “Ignore,” move on to more productive things.
“…a new endeavor seeking to substantially empower anti-war activism through an aggressive program of community organizing…” etc., according to your Web site.
Everything becomes clear.
Must be why people are rowing rubber rafts top try to get into Cuba.
Steve,
Do you think the Cuban government uses the same standards to report infant mortality rates as the USA does? Do you think that maybe that statistic could possibly be a poor comparison when different countries measure it differently? I detected a strain of honest concern in your post, I’ll let you figure that one out.
As to the literacy levels, I share your concern, however I don’t think we would agree on the causes or cures. I think it pretty self evident that the education establishment is tilted heavily left, and the greater that it tilts that direction, our decline has followed that tilt. It is strange to me that other socialist countries seem to excel quite nicely. I’m thinking of Scandinavian and Northern Europe mainly, but also some Asian ones as well. It appears to me that the USA is the battleground that international socialism and communism has picked to completely screw things up here until they get there way as they have in other countries. No advanced mathematics, non-deconstructed history, or demanding performance standards for US kids. My two kids are getting a very multicultural and sensitive education experience. competition is not encouraged. It seems socialists and communists do just fine with education when the educated subjects are beholden slaves to the state. I don’t think they like the idea of individuals excelling for their own purposes unsanctioned by the state. The highest performing kids in my city that i know are home schooled. Public school is a wasteland. I cant blame “capitalism” for our poor education system, when there is nothing capitalistic about the content, or the goals of those in charge of it. It’s almost like the socialists/leftist can’t stand a competing successful system, so they have expend all their efforts to screw it up from within, and blame the unsuspecting host for the carnage they wreak.
Finally, can you explain your linkage of mortality rates and literacy to economic growth? were those two things the primary drivers of all the additional economic benefits you listed? or could other factors be at play? following your logic, a country like Cuba should excell beyond the USA in all measures of capital and wealth creation. Doesn’t look like it worked out that way for them. how about there national security? last I checked Cuba benefitted from a security guarantee of the old Soviet Union. Since that arrangement ended poorly, they are the beneficiary of being an irrelevant island surrounded by benign states. As for the smarty socialists in Europe, smug in their false triumphalism of the apparent success of the European socialist model, let’s see how their civilization fares when they no longer have Uncle Sam to pay for the security, and they have to deal with a resurgent Russia and wealthy Islamist regimes. The EU socialist experiment is ending quickly and poorly.
Our Founding Fathers, knowingly or otherwise, gave us the key to lockout socialism and marxism: “No income tax”. Socialism cannot exist without an income tax. You can bet your butt that any attempt to abolish the IRS and repeal the 16th Amendment will be wholeheartedely opposed by those who favor a socialist system.
Amen. Good post.
And FDR started us down this socialist road by making a deal with the devil (Federal Reserve Bank), by creating the Social Security System which was a trough for the Fed to have access to our money. FDR also tried to stack the Supreme Court. He tried to increase the number of justices to 12 so he could appoint more of his commies, so they would approve all of his Communist agenda. When Truman tried to continue with New Deal II, Real Americans did him like they did Clinton, kicked his sorry butt in the mid-terms, and he tucked his tail between his legs and finished his term without a wimper of Marxism. But the radical communists never rest, now, with the face of Obama they’re trying it again same. When the American’s tell them no, they go around The People and get judges, CZARS, or little governmental bureaucrats to do their dirty deeds. This is a fight to the death of America. If they get more power, we can kiss our nation goodbye.
Take Care Dusty Rhodes
Wow, what a bunch of ingrates. They should move to Russia or something. But, it IS easy to take pictures of the “fringe elements “, to paint a broad picture, just like they do with the tea party. I decry all extremists as malcontents who love to bitch , UNTIL it affects their pocket books.
That charge of ursury against the jews is hilarious. Keep in mind who they were lending the money to. Basicaly the nobility for their wars and other excesses. Said Nobility had the habit of reneging on their debts and even killing the lenders. Now the Catholic Church at that time charged the same interest or more, but I guess that was OK, since the church could excommunicate you if you didn’t pay up.
It looks to me as if all those pictures are carefully taken to appear the way this story os slanted! It looks like a rally to reform imigration that MANY probably attended. Then someone with there own agenda STAGED the pictures to go along with their story line. I’m sorry but I am a proud Union member and I have NEVER seen any communisim type folks around any of the rallies I have attended. I say this story is a FAKE!
Please.
Go to RIngo’s original full-length photo essay and tell me how he managed to stage and fake over 100 pictures.
Yeah, that’s right, Ringo hired thousands of actors to PRETEND to be Communists and staged the whole rally!
Or, perhaps you can take a closer look at your union and its affiliations, and stop living in denial.
Your idiocy defies reason!! You are blind, seeing only what you want to see!
Does the tea party endorse all the signs that people who carry at their protests put together? Just askin’. I am sure there could be another similar photo album put together from our rallies. I don’t believe in limiting anyone’s freedom of speech, let’s have it out but as a discussion rather than shutting down commies etc. It is not a popularity contest, it is a debate!
Now I know what SEIU stands for:
SLAVE EVERYONE IN UNIONS.
All I can say to all these would be communists is that they should move themselves to a communist country and stay there. Let them see how far speaking out against the government would get them in a communist state – probably dead, tortured or permanently in prison. These people are ignorant, self serving, and stupidly can’t see any further than the end of their noses. One major flaw of a “democracy” – the stupid, ignorant, and self serving have the same vote as the intelligent, knowledgeable and socially benevolent. All they have to do is outnumber us and we’ll all go down together.
The anti-Catholic remarks here are from people who are biased without any understanding of the history of Christianity. I believe it is in the best interest of people to “seek the Truth”.
I’ve got a great idea: Let’s put our money where our mouth is. Form two volunteer civilian armies, one from SEIU (and anyone else who’d like to join–George Soros are you game?). The other from whomever the Tea Party would like to “organize.”
Meet at a desert (as to minimize collateral damage), and fight to the death.
Winner take all.
SEIU, you got the balls? No, you’d bring your women & children as “shields.”
2012 can’t get here soon enough!
the SEIU tried to bully me into joining their organization a few years ago. I refused
The narrative of “the normalization of self-identified communist and socialist ideologies in the Obama era” rings false. The Communists and the Socialists have always supported the union movement in America, and they have gotten support from some the union members. Marches like this happen all the time and were occurring under Clinton and Bush II as well, this is not a new phenomenon, as anyone familiar with union marches and protests can tell you. It is not because Obama is president that Socialists and Communists have started marching; they have always been marching and will continue to march no matter who is in office because its what they do. Please stop with the party politics (Obama=bad and Republicans=good) at the expense of good journalism, it is the number one problem with the media today.
The “normalization” part comes from the fact that, for the first time ever (or at least since the early 1930s), the people marching with the communists are strong supporters of a sitting president. I myself say in the report that communists go on marches habitually. What’s new is that there is a close link between this political philosophy and the executive branch of the federal government. That’s what I meant by “normalization…in the Obama era.”
If you stepped back and observed the goings on with a critical eye, your statement of “Please stop with the party politics (Obama=bad and Republicans=good)” could very well apply to your approach as well, but with the sides reversed: “Please stop with the party politics (Obama=good and Republicans=bad).”
Also, where in my report do I even mention Republicans? Nowhere.
The mainstream media claims, ludicrously, to be unbiased. That‘s where the problem is. Pajamas is a site that self-evidently appeals to “conservatives” of various stripes, and makes no attempt to hide that or to misrepresent itself. If the evidence and arguments here stand up under scrutiny, then there’s no need to pretend to be “centrist.” Good ideas support themselves.
Which would you rather have: Media that honestly identifies where it’s coming from (like blogs/internet sites)? Or media (like the major networks) that falsely claim to be unbiased, but have an obvious political agenda you’re supposed to not notice?
The problem is not in having a point of view, as you claim, but rather in misrepresenting one’s point of view.
Andrew, Part of what you say about Unions and the Communists are always marching regardless of who is our President. However, the false part is where you say it does not matter. Well, you are wrong, sir, it does matter to this American Citizen as well as many other Americans. Our President should not be affiliated with Communism under any circumstances. And in this case, because Oboma has so many other affilations that he should not be associated with, this just afirms that fact that he is one of them also. As one of them, he should not be our President. Sincerely, Linda L Hill
Countries that have tried communism/socialism are the worse off for it like Greece ,Italy, Spain. China and Russia have moved toward capitalism and are living better. What unions have achieved
probably would not have happened under communism but only under our system which now allows special interest groups to be and to fare well.
We must eliminate favoritism from law by buying politians and politicians buying votes with our laws and our taxes.
Just like Acorn
Regret getting in so late on this thread. But alas Zombie your threads go where all others fear to tread. Ugh!
Now the Jews. Wow, where have I seen this happen before and nowadays happening more and more frequently. A few years ago down the old memory hole a thread began on the blog “Gates of Vienna”, and created and incredible intellectual tapestry on the dialectic juxtaposition that leaps out constantly from the “Jewishness” that is not apart of being an American and at the same time is integral to all parts of being an American. Our “Jewishness” befuddles us. Of course it is encrusted onto every Americans moral DNA. If your mother or father knelt and prayed with you then you may have possibly been indoctrinated into the many offshoots of a Jewish cult figure that empties out strip clubs on Christmas and Easter holidays. Possibly you suffered with some dreadful psychological pangs due to stress or maybe worse depression, and the guy in the Jewish cult gave you no relief, well maybe the lingua franca of Freud and Jung came to your rescue. Boy oh boy, those Jews got us coming and going. Pulpit to a psychiatrist couch. Jews and Jewishness are Americas dark star. As we pass through this earthly illusion prancing towards that inevitable exit (remember dust to dust, Jew arcane inside baseball knowledge). Were all going to end up on the base paths of Dodgers Stadium. Hopefully, a better place than a pile of dust under a base runners spikes. Jews came up with that concept and our Jewishness clings to it because we don’t want to end up like the meshuga people in Zombies essays. ironically, I’ve read Zombie is agnostic. Thank a Jew for that option and the deductible that you can apply to that concept. Yeah that dark star is a faulty flashlight in the sewer system of our existence. Oh yes their are many other doctrines principles (ahem) women we can lay our fevered brows upon, but arguably your going to thank or curse God and this measly morass of words and symbols when” el sh*to hits the fano” Now of course if you can apply much moral and intellectual vigor to cultivate an aspiring civil human being so those measly words may possibly spark a ray of hope in the sewer system that is often identified as life. Jews are like low hanging fruit. Easily obtained thus a feast to the famished and then when overwhelmed in our bellies a poison. Our sickness. Tempted we overindulge. How Jewish of us. How American of U.S. We don’t like them, they disgust U.S., they disturb U.S. they frighten U.S. Amazingly I didn’t need a Jew to tell me I do all those things to myself. It’s not easy to fall in love it’s just easier to hate someone and thus your own self even more so. Trust me, or trust “HIM” we all know this sojourn is painful enough. I choose to sojourn with my modest faith, “just like an acorn”.
You people make Communism out to be a “bad” thing.
Then you wonder why the U.S. is in freefall…
Fortunately they do not represent the majority of Americans.
I used to be a liberal anarchist. You can see some in the images at Ringo’s pictures. I leaned the significance of the black banner & red star EZLN flag through Rage Against The Machine. For those whom have not heard all of RATM’s songs, these pictures capture the spirit of those songs as “people of the sun”, and others. Noam Chomsky did an interview with Zach de la Rocha wherein they discussed the NAFTA. They opposed it then. Even back then, a dumb teenage me could begin to see the holes in the logic of my Communist friends. I told ppl that I identified as an “Anarchist” because I won’t let others rule me, I rule myself. I was part of the wichcraft and commie youtube “community”. I could see the failures of liberal ideolgy but I dared not mention them. When I “woke up” to reality after Obama’s ‘election’(Manchurian placement) was hated by my old satanist/athiest friends, and soon after when I found Jesus, I was excommunicated from the Liberal church of diversity.
When I was in college in the 60′s supporting the “revolution” because it was “EXCITING” to march and throw my weight around … that was the only reason for it …I hope that most of these idiots are the same way…I think they are….- Thnak God I Never Voted – The Newest Bumper stickers are on thier way…..”IF YOU VOTED FOR OBAMA IN 2008 TO PROVE YOU’RE NOT A RACIST – YOU HAVE TO VOTE FOR SOMEONE ELSE IN 2012 TO PROVE YOU’RE NOT AN IDIOT”

It’s time for America to wake up..this interview took place 35 years ago, and this man was an insider in one of the most communist organizations in the world. What he is talking about is happening now in America. Our freedom has been payed for dearly, how can we stand by and watch it be taken away? There is no middle ground, as Bezmenov says, “noble and beautiful ideas” of leftists are merely instruments. The very thing that liberals claim they’re fighting for, “civil rights,” is the thing they’re taking away. The founding fathers gave us an incredible document and it is being abused by the big government supporters who are taxing us to death.
communists of the world unite!!!
God has our escape; but we seem intent on being enslaved throughout our lives with the employment lifestyle. The loudest rejection of President Obama comes from those who want jobs, jobs, jobs.
There is only one God. Jehovah-Yahweh’s goal for all mankind, written in all holy books, is a garden paradise lifestyle. It would solve the personal, national and world problems we created with the employment lifestyle including pollution of our air, land, water and food making young and old diseased.
The Middle East rebellions show signs that they are Soviet Style Socialism using unions. What is it they promise? Jobs, and why not, that pays government employees and union bosses and enslaves the whole world…. no matter to them that it leads to early extinction. This is the devil’s work…. and God’s work…. to show us we are only free under the garden paradise lifestyle. The financial aspects have been worked out by God. Once the heart is changed, all turn toward helpfulness, voluntarily.
WHEN we choose God’s garden paradise lifestyle, we will find God’s candidate to bring it in. NONE other is promising anything but more jobs….. part of that is our fault. We must now be vocal for the garden paradise lifestyle. Our alternative is lifelong bondage to employment.

Feh, I’ll be impressed when the kind of people who post on Pajamas wear political uniforms, and the reds wear political uniforms, and they start attacking each other with sub-machine guns Weimar Republic-style. Until then, MURRRARR, I SHOWS RAEG ON TEH INTARNETS HURRRRRRRR!!!111!!!
I am ex Union have worked for 7 different ones trying to live in a right to work state. They are the most corrupt organizations I have ever seen and I had worked 25 years without any Union and did good. Got layed off and went to a Union for the $20.00 or $25.00 an hour I made salary as management in .I.T..
As a Union Steward and mainly worker I have seen bribes , I have watched Crack heads work while good people sat at home, I have seen theft ,major drug use on jobs, badass fist fights,you name it.
I started saying it was just like Communism, seniority and skills didn’t mean anything if you were convicted, afflicted, or addicted they had a place for ya, they love the weakest people that are easily manipulated and corrupted!
NO TRAINING EITHER IF YOU DON’T DEMAND IT, THEY WILL TELL YOU TO JUST GO OUT AND FAKE IT AND PUT YOU IN POSITIONS ANYWAY WITH OR WITHOUT EXPERIENCE. THEY NEED THE BODIES WHEN THEY CANNOT FILL THE ROSTER.
It is unreal to find the UnionFacts.com site and see the actual pics of Union’s in a May Day parade with Communist Party followers.
Unions are also giving up on the White and Black populations and are directly targeting the Latins or any non legal immigrant who don’t have the work experience or education to understand what kind of system they are getting into sometimes not all the time. Some though are very smart and don’t fall for the BS.
Good hard working Latin people mostly (non english speaking) are being used to keep up membership while administrators and leadership get Fat off dues and fines.
I was actually kept from taking classes and also told when I got multiple certifications I was in the wrong industry by a Union District leader.
My self education showed that anyone could keep progressing even without the Unions help and made them look bad.
Also when asked if they could help the addicted and not work them until they were off drugs and safe to work with I was told that Union Management could do nothing, Quote: ” I got to work these people” even Cocaine addicted convicted ex con felons with no driver license who just got out of jail and caused severe and close to fatal accidents to others. I was blown away and now got away for my own safety as well as future hopefully in a drug free safe work place that is not close to a UNION.
Remember I have worked for 7 Unions now 4 Union halls in the same trade and I am 3rd generation Union/Military Family.
I am not misinformed in any way and this is my true experience 1986-1988,2003-2011.
MY UNION LOCAL ALSO MADE US GET ON UNEMPLOYMENT EVEN IF WE WANTED TO GET A JOB SO IT SHOWED WE NEEDED IT, WHEN I GOT A JOB ONE SUMMER AND DID NOT LISTEN I WAS TAKEN OFF THE LIST COMPLETELY!
IT WAS A UNION JOB FULL TIME ALSO BUT WAS NOT MY UNION I HELD A CARD IN AND IT COST ME DEARLY.
NO WORK FROM THEM FOR A YEAR ALMOST BEFORE CALLED FOR WORK AGAIN.
UNION TOLD US HOW TO VOTE IN EVERY ELECTION ALSO IN PERSON AT MEETINGS AND IN MAILERS.
A UNION IS A CULT IN EVERY WAY! THEY FEED ON THE MEMBERS.
Wal Mart was also a target and we were told not to shop there at all or be seen there. One of our workers actually went to work there when he had cancer because he had no insurance coverage left through the Union so Wal Mart can’t be that bad can they if they helped to save his life or make his recovery more comfortable even if he would have made it without a full time job with them.
RIGHT ON WAL MART! They helped a Brother out when the Brotherhood did not!
CHEW ON THAT I.A.T.S.E!!!!!!!
Zombie, you crack me up.You definitely have a way with words! This long page of comments has been quite an interesting read. And now, I will write a little story of my own:
Illegal is the way to go.
So, I’m thinking of becoming an illegal alien….yep. I’m fed up with America. Our politicians take all our money and leave us in poverty. I’m tired of looking at John Edward’s small country that he calls a home. Or Michelle Obama spending $400 bucks on a lobster lunch. This is bull crap….instead of trying to get involved and make my country a better place, I’m goin’ somewhere else. ….CHINA.
China is the perfect place. It’s huge, its exotic, it’s a land of opportunity. And everyone knows that they own the U.S. anyway……I’m going to sneak in and make a new life for myself !!!.
I bet I could even land a job teaching English. Oh don’t act like I’m taking an opportunity away from someone else who needs it. Everyone knows that only white people will do those kinds of jobs. Without people like me, Chinese would be incapable of learning another language, and English is important for them to know. How else are they going to communicate with me? They are going to have to take my rights into consideration. It’s not easy trying to survive in a foreign country., and I don’t want to have to learn freakin’ Chinese. It’s hard!!! Have you seen those symbols? I’m not learning it. Nope. They are all just going to have to make allowances for my ignorance.
Stop being so self righteous. You know you’d do the same thing. Besides, there are thousands of Americans over there. I don‘t care if some of them got pass ports or did the right paperwork to play nice with the government… I have just as much a right to be there as any chinese citizen! Have you seen how much land that country has? They can definitely spare some for me..and my friends I’m going help sneak in..and all my children I plan on having.
I don’t think its right that the Chinese get angry at illegals. I’m not illegal. I’m a PERSON! Why do they have to be so selfish and racist? I heard that they keep arresting white people just because they don’t have documentation of citizenship. First of all that’s completely racist. And second of all. “I LOVE AMERICA” . Did you hear that, Chinese jerks?!!! We’re going to take over your land someday. It’s ours. Just you wait. AMERICA is SO much better than CHINA. Yeah. I love America so much. That’s why I want to live in China.
It amazes me how many people are unable to read. How else can you explain how these morons in the pictures want communism. Clearly they can’t read a history book, or they are incompetent and in the best case misinformed.
Its quite interesting that the mainstream media has altered the way in which it looks at this not too long ago dont you think? Now it would seem that it really is talked about thoroughly and more in depth. Overall while Im hunting for any adjust.
Wow people are SO confused. The labels we have historically understood don’t fit.
Why do we keep trying to understand things based on limited concepts or ideas or labels from the past.
There are far more nuanced ideals and viewpoints than “left” and “right” or capitalist/socialist corporatist/ communist hippie/punk
pinko/nazi what ever… just don’t fit anymore…
which is effectively disarming, and confounding.
LOL. Keep on sticking to whatever polarity you can grasp hold of and point out every thing that supports that perspective, ignoring 3/4ths of reality in order to cling fast to outdated ideas of “us” versus “them”. While the priests remain in place and the military-industrial complex whirrs on…
Why is Ron Paul in such good health at his age?He has a strong Constitution.
Makes me so proud to have been FORCED to be a member of SEIU for years — NOT!
I think there is one thing we can all agree on. There sure are a lot of really fat people in those pictures.
Wow, i had no idea communism was this pronounced in some areas of the country.
