Death takes care of all problems. No man - no problem.

Would you interpret that as a threat? That was basically the quote attributed to Delay and the right-wingers the other day after the death of Terri Schiavo. Is that acceptable in American politics? Should that be acceptable in America?

1. apparently the rightwingers were big stalin fans. who knew?

though, admittedly, more fans of the methods than of the ideology which was used to justify them. which might be a bit backward... but that's today's republican party for you.

3. No, it's becoming quite well-known among many.

There is nothing conservative about today's Republican party. They are now essentially Trotskyists -- trying to impose change rapidly and through brute force.

Everything about them -- their economics, their militarism, their meddling in people's personal business -- is all built around quick, radical change. One could even argue that they are operating under Lenin's ideas of "smashing the system".

2. one cannot really argue with the substance..however for a

parliamentarian to be quoting Stalin and because of who said it and as we know what he really means..I say he should be tarred and feathered and run out of town.
