But Obama is a socialist afterall, and bar the Hitler posters, I would say there are similarities in not only the posters, but the ideologies as well.
Does anybody hate Che as much as me while we're on the topic? How somebody who was a murderer and basically a deadbeat loser could attain such cult status from people who really don't know about the man but fall in love with his "rebel" like status? I mean Captain Jack Sparrow, now he was a rebel. Han Solo, he was a rebel. Ronald Reagan, he was a rebel. And rebels that fought for good and brought about a reduction in poverty only Che and his economically impotent socialist counterparts could only dream on.
Perhaps it shows the intellect of Obama supporters as there's a persistent occurrence of Che images in his campaign; they don't know what he stands for, just that he's "hot" and a glamorous "rebel." Young foolish puppy-love with no maturity, wisdom or adulthood going into their decision to choose who will be the leader of the free world...or at least the free world for now.
My favorite rebel: Ludwig von Mises.
ReplyDeleteYou know what I hate the most about people who wear Che t-shirts and worship him as some kind of "rebel," as you call it? Their ignorance.
ReplyDeleteUsually, these are the same people who want to unilaterally get rid of all of our nuclear weapons, and yet they ignore the fact that Che viciously attacked Khrushchev not only for coming to an agreement with Kennedy, but also for his refusal to actually *use* nuclear weapons against the U.S.
This adulation is a great argument for requiring some sort of test on politics before being given the right to vote. I'm beyond tired of seeing douche bags voted into office based solely on their ability to dupe the sheeple. Perhaps then we might see worthy candidates step up and run for office instead the of constant stream of a-holes we are always stuck with. Are Obama and McCain really the best we have to offer?? What a pathetic, F-ing joke!!!
ReplyDeleteIf you ask my 3 and 5 year old what we like to shoot they'll shout in unison 'Commies!'

Mises was Jewish, and yet he still stood up practically in Hitler's backyard and denounced socialism, fascism, and authoritarianism in general. That guy had brass balls.
ReplyDeleteHere's are two montages which illustrate your point very well:

The visual images created by the contemporary left are virtually identical in style to those of the Soviets, Cubans, and Chicoms.
