It's the ease at which it can be defended that makes it not worth the time. Why apply real thought and reason to a mindless and paranoid rant?

I'd also note that most if not all of these topics were addressed in detail when they were of more timely interest.

Obama is our next President, get over it. We have a nation to rebuild.

It has been noted over time that some people really struggle with the fear of change.. Many people have lived their entire lives without dealing with their problems only to live a live of misery when it would have only taken a few months of therapy to address. I suggest Scott should seek a therapist and work on the concept of change and the fear of the unknown.

New York Honors Che Guevara with Statue
By Humberto Fontova
Indeed! There was no mistaking it: a statue of "El Che" by German artist, Christian Jankowski. Upon investigating the matter, Abe Greenwald learned that, "the sculpture is not intended to depict Che Guevara," but rather a street performer from Barcelona's Las Ramblas who idolizes Che Guevara and makes a living mimimg him. "Which I'm sure makes all the difference in the world to the families of Che's victims," Mr Greenwald wisely adds. " There's no mistaking who that statue depicts."

Most New Yorkers seem unaware that but for the grace of God thousands of them would have been Che's victims too.

"If the missiles had remained (in Cuba),We would have used them against the very heart of the U.S., including New York City. The victory of Socialism is well worth millions of atomic victims."
- Ernesto 'Che" Guevara, November 1962

The art display was made possible by the Public Art Fund, the City of New York, the NEA, and the New York Council for the Arts.

NYCLU: Why was Stalin banner removed from school?

ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER
NEW YORK (AP) - The New York Civil Liberties Union has demanded that city officials explain why they ordered a private art school to remove a banner displaying an image of Josef Stalin.
In a letter Thursday to the Department of Buildings, NYCLU executive director Donna Lieberman expressed concern that the banner was taken down from The Cooper Union after some residents of the local Ukrainian community complained that it "seemed to promote" the Soviet dictator on the 75th anniversary of a famine he imposed. The famine, called the Holodomor, killed millions of Ukrainians.
The 52-foot-by-36-foot banner features a reproduction of a 1953 Pablo Picasso portrait of Stalin. At the time, the image was viewed as a critique of the Soviet leader.
"It's like hanging a portrait of Hitler in a synagogue or in a Jewish community," she said.
And:
Lenin Statue
Seattle, Washington
Fremont, self-proclaimed "Center of the Universe," is the venue for America's largest statue honoring Lenin. The 16-ft. tall bronze originated in Poprad, Czechoslovakia, where it was first erected in 1988. It tumbled along with other heroic (and out of fashion) statues when the Soviets went down in 1989.
Fremont put the statue up in the center of town, near a Cold War era rocket also displayed as public art.
The statue was controversial and remains so -- especially to Russian immigrants. Sure, Lenin the Man endorsed the use of mass terror against his enemies, created the Soviet Union's secret police, and implemented policies that caused millions of peasant farmers to starve to death.

There's a statue in Chicago commemorating the police officers who were slain by evolved progressives in the infamous Haymarket labor riots in May 1886....that originated the annual May Day Parades worldwide. Apparently the bloody riot was inspired by a visit to Chicago by Eleanor Marx....stinky Karl's daughter and her Brit Social Darwinist paramour who were invited to give scholarly lectures on revolution city wide.
The cop statue was regularly blown to bits by unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers (small 'c' Communist) and his Weather Underground anarchists with IEDs on May 1 for a number of years.

Freedom of Speech....If we are going to send our soldiers into harms way to protect our right to it, then we have to expect people to exercise it.....whether we believe its right or not. Why do you think the KKK and Nazi party can have public demonstrations and exhibitions, and people can burn the flag....because they have the right too. I know it sucks sometimes but that is what America was founded on.

If we start taking stuiff down that piss us off then where is the Freedom.

Obama is Pol Pot, Mao, Guevara, a domestic terrorist?
In reality...He's a pragmatic democrat in the mold of Clinton and his actions thus far with respect to his appointments are proving that he's more centrist than people thought.
