We forget (or ignore) Niemöller’s post-war words at our peril.

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
—Martin Niemöller

(Happy to let Niemoller’s insight gained though experience stand alone.)

Hopefully, we will not need George Orwell to remind us again of the immediate and prolonged dangers of socialism. Stalin thought that being the counter of the votes
was most important. Honest elections should be the U.S.goal. It is a commentary on Russian leadership that the last two major leaders were former directors of the KGB.
As a combat veteran who has actually fought communism in Indo -China, my judgment indicates we are fast eroding the basic rights and freedoms a previous generation fought hard to protect.

We should well be conservative, because there is much to conserve.

Uh oh, mc. You have prodded the captain proletariat, donning the pride pink cape, able to leap constitution kryptonite in a selective bound.

Hey Bill. If anything is incomprehensible, it would be, why it's such a struggle after nap time, trying to choose between red or green jello. Open wide jo, here comes the airplane, gonna land some yummy for your tummy. Who cares if he's a criminal hiding in a children's playground, God save the queen man, he likes Brit doubles?

I read The Gulag Archipelago when it first came out. It should be required reading in high schools and universities.

As frightening as things are now, I know allegedly reasonable people who wish to take AR 15's and other weapons from the law abiding. The Second Amendment, well explained in Federalist 28 and 29, was included because the authors knew that Trippy Biden, Schmuck Tumor, Nazi Pelosi, Adam Schiffhead, Chief Spreading Bull and Bernie Stalin would come along. If the appeasers plan is to be on the last train to the gulag, they will still wind up in the gulag.

Before we get personal. Orwell, (Blair) was a professed Social Democrat, which happens to be the prevailing direction of a large part of Europe today. That doesn't mean in any way that he was statist or in the new understanding "Progressive". Animal Farm is a warning about communism which by definition is complete statism even if it is " for the people". If I am incorrect in this then please attempt to set me right.

And now Keith in for the lock!

Saturday’s WSJ reviewed a book, Red Memory by Tania Branigan. It deals with the survivors of China’s cultural revolution. Survivors include citizens persecuted and tortured for criticizing Mao, as well as the good citizens who turned in their neighbors and relatives to the young communist enforcers who meted out punishment. One incident in particular relates how a son turned in his mother,who is now an old man and relives what he did everyday.

Just remember to use the correct pronoun and you should be ok.

I just ordered Solzhenitsyn's book. Should have read it long ago.

I recently heard a young woman criticize capitalism for giving us a life filled with work that limited our time to enjoy ourselves. I couldn't help but wonder how she had come to such a conclusion, having certainly examined all other economic systems and the history of the world.

Used Bing AI Chatbot to find this.

Life is hard, it's even harder if you're stupid....not Aristotle either. Forgive me but I don't find Bing Chat AI to be all that credible a source.

Animal farm is the Russian revolution,animal farm shows the willingness of people to follow a failed ideology I have read his worries in his life it is a lot different then what most people regurgitate.1984 absolute power corrupts absolutely

are you for real?

Can you say indoctrination,

mc, why would you want to ban books from other peoples' children. Why shouldn't every parents get to decide what reading is available to their own kids. [/quote]

Guess what Bill? That's what parents want, the right to decide, and if decide they don't want their children being sexualized and groomed by reading alphabet society propaganda, they don't want some pervert in the school system supplying it to them on the sly. If YOU want to corrupt your own childrens minds, that's on you, you can spend eternity contemplating the wisdom of that in Hell, just don't do it to someone else's child.

Wrong Bill, look up images from the books "Gender Queer" and "This book is gay". This is what your fellow "education professionals" are putting in school libraries against the wishes of parents. If parents can't prevent this crap from being available to their children in schools, then their rights are being denied. And yes, this is in union represented public schools.

The idea that the alphabet society is grooming children isn't silly, it's just happening slowly. This constant need from leftist perverts to perform sexually in front of children, the weakening of laws regarding pedophilia and talk of lowering the age of consent, the renaming of pedophiles as "minor attracted persons", just one step at a time. Try googling up Joseph Bruno Francis Parker school project veritas, there's video of him bragging about giving school children sex toys, great teacher. Just because your union newsletter won't talk about this doesn't mean it isn't happening.

As for that crack about the Catholic Church, that's on your side of the political aisle. If the church hadn't been infiltrated and infested with leftist homosexuals, most of that wouldn't have happened. That's right, it was mostly all predatory homosexuals, not pedophiles. The vast majority of victims were male, and the vast majority of them were old enough to be pedophiles, these "priests" weren't pedophiles, just predatory homosexuals with an interest in younger partners.
