amazing how if anyone says something that challenges the dogma of right-wing idiots, the idiots will congregate for non-fact-festival.

God Bless the USA.

Amira made his life on the stripes of his people. Shame

There is racism alive and well in the US, but I may add it's poor caucasians that are the brunt of abject discrimination, jokes,unjustified elite media criticism. Let me get to the point, I do agree with MLK's one famous quote "judge or accept one based on the merits of their character and not their race" but this is not whats happening here in the good ole USA, its exactly the opposite of mlk's philosophy, that is, unless, he intended this to happen.

That our Gov't would turn on it's own.

I am not defending the policies of the state of Israel. but all the policies are definitely designed by west in order to promote racism and tension in middle east. western imperialists always promote the idea that Jews control all the policies in Europe and America in order to fulfill their greed in the name of Jews. it's like a guy sleeping with his friend's wife and later defending his action by claiming that his friend's wife made him drunk before they had sex.

@1337wafflezz Do you even know what 'communism' is? Coming from the person who puts zeros in spelling... How old are you, 12?

[1337wafflezz]

@michaelwuzthere If totalitarian c0mmunism is the alternative, I'd rather have "right wing idiots" in charge any day. Don't get me wrong, people like Rush Limbaugh and Hannity are mostly...dumbasses, but being a Marxist l0ser is being intellectually dishonest or intellectually deficient.

Ron Paul 2012!!!!!!!!!

What a monster? Hey Baraka can I buy you a one way ticket to Russia in exchange for your American citizenship?

Communism to these hardcore theoreticians is in a land of pixie fairies and magic elfs. It does NOT exist and never will exist.

Capitalism > Communism/Socialism.

Libertarianism > Communism/Socialism

[sam1344t5y7i98]

The real meaning of communism is that the government has no control and the people have all the control which is right winged extremists while socialism is where the government controls everything
