You could easily substitute "Republican" for all the traits he applies to "Communists" Godless, especially, for the way the Republicans manipulate believers to subordinate them to their own end of amassing wealth and power.

Which party is "lying," "dirty," "shrewd," "godless," and "determined," and the Republican party comes to mind immediately.

Watching this short movie is amazing because it shows that the Republican Party has adopted Communist tactics and strategies outright. Glenn Beck himself, too.

Obama and we Democrats need to realize that negotiating with the Republican Party is like negotiating with the Russians.

The map of the weapons held in Cuba brings back the map of the WMD Colin Powell used to rationalize the invasion of Iraq. Amazing parallel.

No, we've actually come to agreements with Russia. Obama could come out tomorrow and try to ban abortion and conservatives would say he's taking away women's rights.

"Dirty, mean, despicable, ruthless, slander, blackmail, corruption of character, is their stock and trade." What an exacting portrayal of how contemporary Republicans deport themselves in the political scene. Republican = Communists in character.

You're right, but the other lesson to that film is how thoroughly the Republicans have adopted communist tactics and strategies. Republicans are totalitarian and authoritarian by nature. How easy it is to see that.

If I tell you the crew on the international space station float around because they are beyond the pull of earth's gravity you'd believe me....right. Well stupid people might and accept it as fact. Smart people might explore believing there's a better and more logical explanation.

There really isn't a gulf between smart and stupid. The smart person obeys Newton's law that Force = Mass X Acceleration and the stupid person thinks just get a bigger hammer. Just two different ways looking at the problem of driving a nail or a golf ball. However, Stupid is limited on nail driving prowess in the absence of a larger hammer and Smart knows the truth and can choose to accelerate the hammer swing in the absence of larger hammer.
