Rep. Allen West Says Up To 81 House Members Are Communists

Disputatious71 said:
Boldly prove where Allen West has called for the rounding up of "communists" and the black listing of actors etc., then we can agree on historically correct comparisons !
If I were you I would take your own advice and try reading a book, possibly one apt to this subject matter before replying again.

so, in your unique world, the comparison is only valid if the events unfold exactly as they did in the past
with some age you will learn that is not a requirement for such comparison to be a legitimate one
in this instance we have a recognized politician calling out American citizens to be communists without any proof of those claims ... as happened before, approximately 60 years ago
if you are unable to grasp that similarity then you are simply unable, or unread, or both, and it would be pointless to hold your hand any further

Well being that the goal of socialism is communism. Here is the list released by the Socialist Party of America...This was in 2010 and I'm sure it's grown since then.

American Socialists Release Names of 70 Congressional Democrats in Their Ranks | The Gateway Pundit

Not really sure why this is so hard to believe since people like Bernie Sanders and Maxine Waters admits to being a socialist...I'm sure there are plenty more.

This is where it originated. It was proven false. It was a copy paste smear job.

What happened is a document claiming that it listed the members of the Democratic Socialists America caucus in congress was made. What it actually listed was the members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus. It was a phony.

If you prefer to phrase it that way then Obama's "suggestion" was rejected rejected 414-0.

Obama Budget Rejected by House in 414-0 Vote


It is LARGER than it has been in the past, so of course the national debt is going to increase more than in the past if you measure in absolute dollar figures.
Click to expand...

Well yes, it is being mentioned in dollar figures. Thats how the debt clock measures it and that's how economists mention it, so i figured I'd follow that tradition.

Obama presided over a larger increase in the deficit than, say, Woodrow Wilson, when the GDP was 1/500th of what it is today? Stop the presses! :lol:
Click to expand...

Those Democrats sure can spend, all right. Wilson, the Democrat, was replaced by Harding, a Republican. It's likely the American people will repeat this wisdom.

Keep going, you're on a roll. Literally every post you make proves that Obama was absolutely correct in that YouTube clip you posted.

I agree. His has his supporters pegged.

Do Communists still call themselves Communists?

It seems they call themselves "Progressives" now. Maybe Marxists. Or Leftists. Or Democrats.

But few admit to being called "Communist" anymore, even if their sympathies do tend in that direction.
 
Rep. Allen West: 78-81 House Democrats Are Communists



via Huffington Post: "Moderator: What percentage of the American legislature do you think are card-carrying Marxists or International Socialist?

West: It's a good question. I believe there's about 78 to 81 members of the Democrat Party who are members of the Communist Party. It's called the Congressional Progressive Caucus."​

Sounds about right.

Only if you change the meaning of "progressive" and "Communist" or "socialist".

It's all true, and there is real reason to be against it. Thanks for proving what I already believed.

Who cares? They change their names as often as they change their underwear.

The usual term is "leftists" and they can then debate the degrees.
 
First off lol that people seriously think communism and socialism are one in the same. Secondly, I heard personally, from a democratic representative that 50 Republican senators are card carrying members of the KKK. True story! My democrat friends, quick, over react and start thinking there is some truth to what I am saying! Oh wait you're not ****ing retarded.
