Reply #66: Ain't that the truth

[nels25]

I am reminded (and I am old enough to remember) the cricket like silence about any of the myriad of crimes that the Soviets and Chinese under Mao committed.

Then like now this country is/was naturally assumed to be the basis of all evil and bad in the world, and the Soviet block nations and china were nations of virtue.

Now it is true that we have a certifiable lunk head for president the last 7 plus years, still that should in no way blind thinking people from recognizing misconduct and outright human rights violations conducted by countries that have a more left or so called socialist type of government.

A dictator is a dictator be he left or right.

One of the reasons we as a party have been mistrusted to defend our nation is because we have a long and rich history of giving obvious bad guys who are from the left the same treatment we would demand from a right leaning dictatorship.

Think about it for awhile, show me I am wrong?

Cite for me examples when major intelligentsia from the left ever slammed the Soviets?

When a major Democrat (not running for president because they had to knock the Soviets to some extent in order to get elected) who bashed left leaning dictators (besides Scoop Jackson)?

I will be waiting and I have a feeling it will be a long one.
