Mao worshipped in White House

I saw that. What is happening to the Democrats? I know there are Democrats that fought and died for this country. I know Democrats that are as patriotic as any other political party in the USA. Is this what they are becoming? I can't believe, despite differences with other parties, that this is what the majority of Democrats want.

I have to agree Nitro, lots of rank and file Democrats must be drinking lots of Pepto Bismal at this point. They might not be willing to admit it just yet, but their getting queasy. Theres definitely been an exodus of nauseous Independents.

No, no, no - he is only one of her favorite philosophers.  One of two that she relies on most.

Let's get that straight, because that changes the meaning and significance completely.

It seems like being, admiring, or associating with communists seems to be this administrations "criteria" for a position. To name a resent few Van Jones, key members of the Black Caucus (praises of Castro), and now Dunn. In fact, wasn't a communist (his name escapes me at the moment) the mentor of young Barack? How many more are still in the closet? This should be worrisome for all Americans and anyone that depends on the US to be a stabilizing force in the world. With each new revelation, this is beginning to appear like less of a coincidence and more like design. I never would have admitted in the past, but I'd rather Hillary would have won. I might not have agreed with her policies and more than now, but at least I wouldn't worry about something slimy and subversive integrating itself into the system.

Well, at least not communism.

Right, never thought a good old fashioned sex scandal would be a welcome relief!

God forbid every person's idol isn't reagan or sarah palin. \sacasm off

That being said: so what? Is she in power? Is she the president? Is she a cabinet position, senator, representative? No? Okay then, good, games over then.

Personally, I don't care that one of the people she looks up to is Mao. One of the people I look up to is Che Guevara. The only catch is that I look up to him as the caring and compassionate man he was early on in his life, when he took the trip around south america and wanted to help people; not when he became violent, and cruel.

Does that disqualify me like it does her?

Just, everyone has their own likes/dislikes,etc. That's why America is so diverse, heh.

I guess some lefties will show up thinking this article is about one of their hero's. The little piss-ants show a lot of love for dictators that didn't kill their families.

Is that stupid remark directed at  me, or is it merely a generalized, ingorant remark?

~AJ

If the shoe fits wear it.

I'm not going to sit and listen to any idiot defend Mao, when my wife grew up there during the Cultural Revolution with first hand knowledge of his wisdom in addition to half my military service during the cold war. So yes my "stupid" remark is for dumb shits that don't have the slightest clue what they love to represent because they never experienced anything (here's that "ignorance" you mention) other that "privileges" someone else paid for, often in blood. You can take your quasi-socialist drivel somewhere else, where it can be ignored. Self serving bastards.

Now there's a moronic statement.

This is exactly what your comment sounds like to me:

"One of the people I look up to is Adolf Hitler. The only catch is that I look up to him as the caring and compassionate man he was early on in his life, when he took painting to feed his poor mother; not when he became violent, and cruel".

Even a rabid dog was once a puppy. Here's a term you might get to hear, or even experience once you become a productive member of society: "One "oh shit" clears away one hundred "atta boys". Of course this is the generation in which nobody keeps score at soccer games, both teams win, and first grade graduation ceremonies, mediocrity is the norm. Not enough role models in this country (or even positive ones from abroad) for you that you have to look for communist killers to satisfy daddy issues growing up?

 >_> Ooh, weee...lets all call names now and imply all sorts of things; lets be a "big" boy, an "adult." Don't forget, insults - implied or direct - are only bad when those crazy liberals use them. When we use them, they're fine.

*rolls eyes*

/sarcasm

Seriously now, that's your opinion, and far be it from me to tell you that you cannot have one. Still...your point? You apparently don't realize that I know that he is going to be known for his atrocities, which mind you, I think are horrid. (Just wanted to make sure you didn't assume that I go around re-enacting them...) I get that, but that doesn't necessarily mean that his good actions - are negated. Or, that one action has to totally consume their life and good deeds. Think about it: George washington, Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Paine, etc. Those founding fathers that you have shown you love - all made mistakes, and all did things that were horrible. (Ex: Own slaves, etc.) Does that circumvent their notability? According to what you're implying, yes.

A person can use his life as an example of where even the best intentioned, best acting, etc. people in our world can be corrupted.

Like I said:

"One ofthe people..."

I'm the type of person that takes the good out of the bad, no matter what. Even if the person is horrible, there is usually, 99% of the time, some good aspect. I try to look at that, while acknowledging the horrible things, and use it to learn, etc.

Anyways...try going and working on your reading comprehension, seriously, because it is a joke, especially when you type something silly like: "Not enough role models in this country (or even positive ones from abroad) for you that you have to look for communist killers to satisfy daddy issues growing up?"

And to think you're trying to tell me to grow up...good gawd.

~AJ

Oh, for your education, here are a few people I look up to for various reasons:

My mother, grandmother, and sister are first and foremost, primary. Then, there follows (in no particular order): John Lennon, Robert Kennedy, Ansel Adams, John F Kennedy, Nelson Mandela, Buddha, Jesus, Anderson Cooper, Martin Luther King Jr, Mahatma Ghandi, Pope John Paul II, The Dalai Lama, Steve Irwin, Leo Tolstoy, Thomas Paine, Samuel Adams, Voltaire, Victor Hugo, Thoreau, John Adams, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Christopher Reeves, Susan B Anthony, Guru Nanak, Helen Keller, Malcolm X, Cesar Chavez, W.E.B. Du Bois, Rosa Parks, etc

Read it, and learn a thing or two about who I am, all right? Maybe then, you won't make such foolish comments.

~AJ

PS - I apologize for my temper. I don't take kindly to what come off as, bluntly, childish attitudes. What you said was utter bullshit and I just have no tolerance for people who are assholes. That being said though, there's no excuse for letting my temper run rampant.

~AJ

Good, does that mean we won't have to listen to it again?

Typical liberal, want to "educate" me on his role models. So I was right... no daddy (or mother, aunt or uncle) in that list. Sorry.

I don't give a damn who you think you are. You used to be Lucas -and he sucked, now your AJ and it's the same thing. Everything I need to know about you, you've made abundantly clear in though your posts. Now I don't want to be rude or childish, don't want to upset delicate sensitivities, so ask me nicely if you want me to tell you what you are, and trust me I've seen plenty of "you", some came around some didn't, you're really not that special outside your small world.

Now if you'd please, I'd like to get back to the topic (which seams to always change and revolve around you). So if you have any other words in defense of of the left wing, communist sympathizer Mrs. Dunn (Whom I could personally care less about who her hero's are, except when she preaches it to high school students) spill it out. Otherwise go read your little red book.

Depends, are you going to intentionally being asshole? Sorry bud, but I don't have the time for the shit you're pulling. The world is full of too much bullshit, hate, ignorance, etc. If you're going to continue to be an ass to me, or act stupid (a la liberal comment), thick skin be damned; I'm going to call you out on it.

Don't like it? Then stop, or go away - your choice Nitro. 

Typical ignorant and assinine remark. You just had to apply it to being a liberal thing didn't you? Geesh, grow some critical thinking skills. 

Yes actually, no father figure. My biological father was a douche and left two weeks after I was born; my first step father was one of the most horrible men (that's not just me saying that btw), and my second and last stepfather had issues and bailed. Honestly, though I am not a religious person by any means, I thank God for this.

My mother, God love her (who mind you is on the list of role models, along with my sister and grandmother - #1), is an amazing woman and was more of a man than any of my step fathers could ever be.

#1

Read it again Nitro....jebus.

Obviously, because you've assumed your ass off and made no attempts at any sort of thing. Your bias and intentions are pretty clear to me now; like you said, you don't care. You're going to assume, twist, etc. things as you want just to serve your agenda.I will agree, however,  that people can partly discern others through what they type, but the readers bias, ignorance, educational level, and so on and so forth, come into play.

You're the one that started it by being an utter douche, an asshole. It's not my fault you seem to have a fetish with trashing me. Now if you're willing to act like a big boy, and fucking respect me, then yes, I am willing to continue with the discussion. If not, then frankly, go beat around another bush. I'll just black list you from my blog and you can do the same for me on yours, since we'll have no reason to discuss anything.

Har har, you are so funny. I guess I forgot to laugh; I just happened to remember that: 1) I'm not a communist. 2) You're being a complete asshole. 3) Of the list of damn of near all of my role models (including Guevara), two or three are "communist." That would be Chavez and Geuvara. Malcolm X was under the suspicion of the FBI as being one, but I don't remember if anything was confirmed. My guess is that he may have been. You would think that a communist sympathizer would have more communist role models than that, right?

~AJ

Like I said, you're entitled to your opinion, but if you're not going to be civil and respectful - then go to hell. The reason I called your comment is that you are, yet again, bunching together things that really shouldn't be bunched together. You're generalizing, which is illogical/fallacious.

You don't think I know what has happened under communism? Good gawd....o_O You know, whatever...you're just too clouded, and I'm just not able to explain what I mean to you.

Have a nice day and be well, thank you for your service. (I genuinely mean it btw)

Love, ~ Your JU ""left-wing, socialist/communist sympathizer."" AJ

Again, take care.

Maybe it's because I've only had liberals attempt to educate me about themselves. I have learned things from conservatives and moderates (and indirectly from liberals), I guess they thought other things were more important than info on themselves to pass on.

You are correct, except I admit I didn't read your list in the first place. Why would I read something a person that doesn't deserve my respect tells (not asks) me to? What is important is that I got the gist of it right, Daddy issues. You're a classic example of a man that didn't have a father around to guide you, seen it many times. Nothing wrong with mothers unless they baby one too much.

Typical elitist, superior thing to say. Why do leftists think they have the "intellectual" high ground? But if you must judge me that way my college GPA was 4.0 (that's right no B's no C's, no F's) that includes critical thinking BTW. I didn't however apply myself as hard in high school. Might have something to do with paying for college myself. Anyway, so you know what you can do with your "I'm a smart guy attitude", it doesn't impress me, and I'm always skeptical of people that imply superior intelligence. Your not the only one to pull that around here. I've known folks that never finished high school that have more sense than people with doctorates.

No, see reason below. And you can save you're line above for one of your playmates.

Not at all, it brings me no joy whatsoever. I oppose anyone that pisses on the memory of my colleagues that fought communism. Call it a selfish quirk if it suits you.

Thanks! As they say "All work and no play..."

You'd think. Even Mao's role model (according to him) was Geo. Washington, guess you do have something in common. One communist murderer is one too many for a role model IMO. While it's normal to admire (skillful)enemies/adversaries it never right to elevate them to shinning examples for our children to model. 

You have to earn my respect (which isn't difficult), and you're not. As I know my personal accomplishments and am quite comfortable with it,  I'm not looking for your respect. It's meaningless to me. You seem to crave respect as if that is some sort of vindication or something. Do something for your country besides whine about it, or champion its enemies then we'll talk. 

You don't seem the religious type (me either) so your hell might just be a place without a cell phone, or were someone breaks a nail everyday. I'll take my chance.

There now, was it too hard to come out and admit what most everyone already knows here???

In closing, black list me if you like, I won't lose a seconds sleep. I won't be black listing you however, never liked censorship. Another quirk.

I think Nitro Cruiser has gotten too personal and should be banned.

Sorry Tony for the distractions.

I'm seeing a clip now about Dunn explaining how they manipulated the media during the campaign (Obama's team). This must be sending a warm fuzzy through Obama's news outlets.

Infidel do you need a tissue? Here's a penny for what you think.

Its ok Nitro, but I would hate to see anyone get banned because of a flamewar in a thread I started, so I wish everyone would just try to get along here somehow.

I disagree; personally, I don't think anyone should be banned for their opinions, even if tempers flare or whatever else; however, it is not up to me.

~AJ

Despite appearances it's not in my interest to flame anyone, including AJ. He may not appreciate my frankness, but at least he getting it put to him straight and upfront. I'm sure he feels he is doing the same. I'm hardly angry or upset, quite the opposite. So I'll let it lay at that. The topic is of interest and I really would hate to see it devolve into a sideshow. So back to the topic, it seems to be gaining steam in the media.
