Huh?!?

Could this be true?  The Russian news source 'Pravada' excoriating Marxism and extolling the value of individuality and personal freedom?

Read the article for yourself.

The interesting thesis of the article is that the American people are accepting the Marxist onslaught because they are lazy, stupid and ignorant--unlike the Russians who fought back and eventually booted out the Communist bastards.  Certainly, an incendary thesis.  But who can dispute the following points (and I quote from the article and follow each up):

"It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American decent into Marxism is happening with breath taking speed, against the back drop of a passive, hapless sheeple, excuse me dear reader, I meant people."

Question dear "Citizen": How much is the U.S. taxpayer on the hook for given all of the recent banker/government measures?

Answer: If you think it is in the billions you are a sheeple (i.e., someone who does not take the duty of citizenship seriously).  Who said, "We gave you a Republic, if you can keep it"?  It's worse than this.  Most people think that politically the United States of America is a 'Democracy'.  It is decidedly not and this is was a major sticking point in the Constitutional Convention.  But who cares?...  A 'Democracy' just means you can vote right?  Wrong.

"[T]he population was dumbed down through a politicized and substandard education system based on pop culture, rather then the classics. Americans know more about their favorite TV dramas then the drama in DC that directly affects their lives. They care more for their "right" to choke down a McDonalds burger or a BurgerKing burger than for their constitutional rights. Then they turn around and lecture us about our rights and about our "democracy". Pride blind the foolish."

Question: If you think this is false can you please enumerate the rights that are supposedly guaranteed by the United States Constitution?  Can you explain the difference between a right and a privilege?  What is the basic substance of Plato's 'Republic'?  What is John Stuart Mill's argument for freedom of speech in 'On Liberty'?  Why weren't you taught this?  Was it better to memorize useless trivia and be judged accordingly?

One's mind is only as good as its ammo.  Put differently, knowledge is indeed power.  The power to understand oneself and one's environment.  Bereft of that others can construct your reality.  Have fun in DisneyLand (TM)!

"[T]heir faith in God was destroyed, until their churches, all tens of thousands of different "branches and denominations" were for the most part little more then Sunday circuses and their televangelists and top protestant mega preachers..."

So you go to Church and make your payments in the open and pray together.  Didn't Christ say something about giving alms in such a way that the "right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing?"  Hmmm... and what did he say about praying???  

None of this hypocrisy would exist if people actually read the "Good Book" and used it to lead their lives--but that would involve serious work.

Anyway, the article is a good one and ought to spur self-aware Americans to think long and hard about these issues if they have not.

Did you hear this in the mass-media?:

"Prime Minister Putin, less then two months ago, warned Obama and UK's Blair, not to follow the path to Marxism, it only leads to disaster. Apparently, even though we suffered 70 years of this Western sponsored horror show, we know nothing, as foolish, drunken Russians, so let our "wise" Anglo-Saxon fools find out the folly of their own pride."

Nuff said.
