One of the sad facts in our country is not enough attention was paid to the horror and massive death machine that Communism brought onto mankind. We always hear how bad the Nazi's were, which is well deserved, but rarely do we hear about the Communists.
I'm sure LWNJs think Pol Pot was just misunderstood.

The younger crowd have no first hand experience..it's all history to them and pretty vague at that when you talk to young adults these days.
What they cling to is the ideals and think they can make it work.
As they say though..those that don't know their history are bound to repeat it.
Charlie Chong is as close as you will find. I also believe DINO from West Seattle was elected to the state house via help from the few Republicans still within the city limits.
I am more offended that this marxist clown is allowed to teach economics at a public school in this state. Her religion does not allow her to understand economics. Her religion is anti-economics.
Yeah I remember Charlie Chong. I don't believe he was Republican, but conservative in many ways. I lived in Seattle at the time, and donated to his campaign. If 'Dino' refers to Dino Rossi, he was from the East Side, not Seattle. I believe there have been zero R's elected to the state legislature from Seattle since the 1970's.
Which people are "angry?" I just read through the entire thread, and there is just one post that could remotely be described as "angry." Are you are experiencing a hallucination of these "people" who are offended "so much?"
In any case, when a politician wants to bring in a system that has resulted in misery, poverty, and oppression wherever it has been tried, whether Russia, China, Korea, or Cuba, wouldn't a reaction of anger be an understandable?
Why do conservatives always forget to list any actual socialist countries like France, Netherlands or Sweden where this has not only been tried but they have proven that it works?
Pulling out a Cuba or North Korea is like using Somalia as an example of what happens when you try free market capitalism. Intentionally false and misleading, the hallmarks of modern tea party style conservatism.

It doesn't work. France is a mess. Scandinavian countries are beginning to change tact. Freedom will always trump control. Always.

Democrat In Name Only. John Carlson rallied Seattle and Burien Republicans to vote in the Democrat primary to get a DINO elected.
