It Turns Out That The Former U.S.S.R. Was Right About The U.S.
They criticized the U.S. hypocrisy of being a power hungry nation bent on "World Domination". Well, now that the U.S.S.R. is not there to counter the U.S. military, it looks as if those "Commies" were correct afterall. Judging by our actions and not words.

On correction: The Republican run U.S.

Dems still listen to their constituents (the voters)

1. The old saying after the fall of the Societ Union
"Everything the Soviets told you about communism was false. Everything they told you about capitalism was true."

Ayup.

2. What're u on? Reagan defeated the Commies!
That proved them wrong about everything! We're America, nothing we do could ever be wrong! Unless there's a liberal in office!

You should just move.

(Non-sarcasm: sadly, the current America does seem to undermine a lot of what we were told, doesn't it?)

7. You Are Kidding Right?
I didn't notice "sarcasm". Nobody tells me to leave my country without a confrontation.

4. pretty sickening stuff
And it is doubtless far worse than anything we are allowed to see, given the secrecy of the ongoing criminal proceedings.

Confessions of an Economic Hitman pretty much says it all. They were trying to build an empire immediately after WWII.

CHINA.

Nevermind how the US, which has often spoke of Chinese COMMUNISM, openly supports it via corporate offshoring.

FYI: Dems also cater to the highest corporate dollar. In an abbreviation: DLC. (update: It's the DNC that's now lax on environmental problems these days (per another DU post I'd read); the DLC has been corporate lickers for a lot longer...)
