I think what really proved the validity of this to ME was when the GOP was singing the praises of Vlad Putin.... They love a blood red COMMIE more than our President.. Made me laugh at the hypocrisy..

I was wondering yesterday, is Communism still banned in the USA?

When was it banned? I've never heard that it was.. People are free to be members of the Communist party if they choose.. We don't recognise it as a political party I don't think..

Well according to a couple of our unenlightened we progressives are commies.

Oh that's right... I forgot... We are also socialists, fascists.... and the old tried and true favorite.... NAZIS

 

[AZ Jim]

The Nazi charge is especially ridiculous in light of Hitler having been a right wing religious nutcase.

Well, I got the impression that it was during the McCarthy era. Was I wrong?

At one stage the Australian Government tried to ban it, then thought better of it. Today it is a spent force. After the tanks rolled into Hungary the ACP was as appalled as everyone else and just lost heart.

Dame, Here Joseph McCarthy ruined many fine people's careers during his witch hunt but we never outlawed the communist party. It is only one of the tiny minority parties now as most know what it was.

 

[Warrigal]

Thanks Jim.

Pleasure, Dame.

Some folks feel that Darrell Issa is McCarthy incarnate.. glad they put the brakes on that one.

Apopros of the OP cartoon and the posture of total opposition the Republicans have adopted towards this administration, what ever happened to the concept, indeed the tradition of "the loyal opposition"?

 

[QuickSilver]

And what happened to the old tradition that Politics stopped at our shores... The GOP has tried to embarass and demean our President overseas.. with foreign leaders and any chance they get.. If it's not traitorous.... it's just skirting the edge

Pleasure, Dame.

Jim, you do know that Dame is an honorific, not a name.
I awarded myself the title because our PM had resurrected knighthoods and dameships and I thought I was a worthy as anyone else. One in all in, I say.

Call me Warri.
