Saddam to Swing

The only people who think the US is not imperial are US citizens, and not even all of them think that.

I find that very interesting.

What's so wrong with being imperial? The British did it for some time. Don't you want to be like the British?

The most recent empires, those of the very undemocratic Soviets and the very undemocratic Communist Chinese, were more successful than I'd want any Communist to be at calling the U.S. names and making the world's naifs, fumblers, and fifth columnists (some in newspapers) believe it.

Consider the source, Aliantha -- I do. Then consider their converts, their shills. Perhaps they were too influenced by the despairing note struck by ex-commie Whittaker Chambers? Perhaps they were too taken in by the habit of thinking like a religion in thinking of communism? Garbage in, garbage out, isn't it?

Communism's got nothing to sell to humanity, and it should be humanity's business to reject it, even with Bombs. As in "The."

Sure, if communism is broken and cast upon the fire to be burned away from human political thought forever by peaceful means, I'm happy. If some part of it is torched by radioactive flame, the Rose of Sauron, I'm less happy -- nukes pollute -- but it's still acceptable to one who understands communism's horror. But no matter what, delenda est...

I find it interesting that you feel qualified to speak for 6,225,170,264 people, especially when giving an off-the-wall and unsupported opinion. :p
