    If a person is not right then they must be wrong ... err ... I mean left, yes and extreme left at that. Those pinko-commie-leftist-nutjobs will DESTROY THE WORLD! Give me ten days and I'll start a war with those damn Reds and make it look like their fault. Then we can push the ******* back into Moscow where they belong! I can see Russia from my backyard damn it!

    :p

    These ones? They don't exactly have a great track record. Apparently destroying the world (or any change to the left in the US, which apparently is the same) is harder than we thought :) .

    "All that is necessary for the triumph of socialism is that good men do nothing’"

    At least that is how I think the quote goes :)

    No, the original was "Vote for us, or the other guys might get into power! If you don't, <<Insert very bad thing here>> <<Style like some famous quote>>" You just got the final draft from the PR department, actually :) .

    Then again, such quotes remind me of what one famous "communist" here said after 1989 - "We spent 45 years building socialism, and the Swedes reached it first." It all depends on just what you mean by the word. Hellfire, brimstone and people in grey suits and AK47s goose-stepping past the White House is one thing, a 20% more balanced income inequality chart is another.
