. . . that's currently insulting this photo AND my comments. Classic. Anyone who still uses words like "statists" needs to get out of the 1960s. "Statist" is what a boy still living in 1962 says. Their entire construct is already based on an insult, so engaging with them would be pointless. Besides, the Cold War was a PHANTOM, a false trail created by our intelligence that many paranoid Americans hopped on lovingly.

Instead of trying to debate, all they can do is name-call . . . the last refuge of the defeated. A lot of them look like they're younger, which tells me that Luntz/Fox's hypnotic Horatio Alger messaging knows NO age limit.
