What should we do about Communism in the US?

[Luddly Neddite]

Not just for the idiots who stupidly accuse our president of being Communist (... and Muslim, Marxist, Taoist, Pastafarian, and every other ism known to humankind) ... Nope, not just idiots should answer this one. It would be nice if intelligent people weighed in as well. (That leaves out Romney who has said Russia is our biggest enemy. Insert rolling eyes emoticon here)

So, anyone think Communism is a threat to us now? How about the other isms and belief systems? What are the threats we face now? And what should we do about the people who believe in them?

Thanks.

We need a new Joe McCarthy.

Communism is just another variant of Progressive.

You are all the same to me.

I remember McCarthy. Specifically a conversation my Grandpa had with his best friend Louie. Louie was afraid of being hauled in and questioned. He was just an old guy. My Grandpa's best and oldest friend. Gramps told Louie that he had nothing to worry about the hearings wouldn't bother with one old guy. Then Louie said "You don't understand. I am a communist and joined the Communist party years ago. That's why I am afraid."

To which my Gramps said "Then you deserve to be arrested, tried and put into prison."

Biggest threats? That would be the left wing idiots such as yourself. And terrorists who are trying to kill us as many as possible.

The Occupy movement, which I am sure OP supports as much as Obama does, is rich is commie ideology.

Communism and socialism are mere bugaboos of the weird far right. It is a non-issue.

Certainly a good start. Ole Joe certainly wasn't all that wrong after all...perhaps just his tactics but not his intent..

 

[beretta304]

Send them to Cuba!

Sen all the Libs to Iran! Just before Israel bombs them.

Shifting wealth from one class to the next.
Well, I'll stop there.

It's easy! the biggest threat?

STUPIDISM!(sub-categories of which are 'liberalism' and 'conservatism')

It is rampant, almost pandemic in America. It is worse than any other -ism as it rots the brain and makes rational thinking and any debate impossible.

Yea, McCarthy died of alcoholsm at 48 years old.

Exactly like we need another hole in our ass.

I consider the bigger threat to be the mass ignorance that leads to Communism constantly being invoked by people who barely know the first thing about it.

The thing to do about communism is the same thing to "do" about anything. It's simple: Educate objectively, discuss openly, analyze critically, and act individually in accordance with that which most makes sense to you, and is most representative of your values. As Jefferson said, the first and only real line of defense against tyranny and abuse of any kind is a well educated public exercising their right to vote.

You couldn't possibly mean the Messiah, could you? He can't help it if his intentions were good but he and his advisers are clueless.

A man without a plan. Should be his campaign slogan.

Because it was illegal to be 'communist'? It wasn't. Are you any smarter than Cramps? (no, that is not a typo)
