Communism
A friend of mine emailed me this Monday, August 11, 2008, I thought it was worth posting. It is short please read, and reflect, comment if you want to.
"On this date in 1945, the Soviet Union established a Communist government in North Korea. The results of that action have, of course, included the tyrannical domination of the North Korean people; the horrific costs in lives from the stalemated Korean War; the seeds of further warfare in Vietnam; and the ongoing threat to the rest of the world that the nuclear warheads of the North Korean Communists pose. "
"Amid this week's news of Alexander Solzhenitsyn's death, Russia's escalating war against Georgia and, of course, the "celebrations" of the Olympic Games in an unrepentantly dictatorial China, I couldn't help but remember this important anniversary and bemoan how the obituary of Communism that many wrote following the collapse of the Berlin Wall proved to be sadly...premature."

I saw a car today with an Obama sticker in the window. It had a picture of him with his chin up "bravely looking to the future". Across the bottom was the word "Hope". The color faded blue, white, red from left to right in dreary, neutral tones.
It was strangely reminiscent of Soviet era posters of Lenin and Marx.
Change is coming?
Scary.

Scary if you are a Republican/Protestant fanatic who thinks stupdily enough that George Bush is an answer to prayer, but for the rest of us who are sick of the religious right and right wing fanaticism in America, the change is long overdue. We have put up with 7 years of your garbage and now the sane people have grown tired of it. Change should have come long ago, starting with the impeachment of George Bush and Richard Cheney in 2006 or so. We needed an Obama long ago.
Change is coming as the rest of us are sick of Christian right wing nut jobs, Karl Rove politics, Republicans and the attempt to turn the USA into a theocratic police state. Your time is up. You fanatics. Good riddance to you as in November the tables turn.
