I am still dumbfounded that Democrats openly support socialism/communism and hardly any Democrats stand up to disagree.

No need to be *dumbfounded* concerning democrats. They. Are. Dumb. All of them are actually, stupid. This includes the imbeciles who vote for them, including the dead voters. This means around 50% of the voters in the US are stupid. Incurably stupid.

I’ve talked directly to a guy like this. His story is even better. He was interred in a Nazi prison camp in Sweden (I know Sweden was “neutral,” but he was arrested as a kid for underground sympathies), and they would make up songs about how someday the Americans would come and rescue them. On their day of release, they stood around trying to sing their national anthem, but weakness prevented it.

The American idea of personal freedom is a bell ringing throughout the world. The dems cannot defeat this idea.

I’m with you, Casey. Back in the early ’70s I worked for a guy in Chicago, a guitar-maker, who with his wife had escaped Communist Serbia by running across the border, at night, dodging spotlights and guards with guns. When I met him 13 years later he owned his third successively-larger building and was making plans to retire to someplace with more sunshine.

There were hippies around who made the mistake of promoting socialism in his presence. Once.

=========
I think your estimation is off by about 100%.

Welcome to the New American Digest: 2003-2020

Only by Fire is Fascism Finished

Year upon year in Earth’s darker forests,
Heaped at the foot of the trees,
Dry drifts of wood rot and leaf fall increase
Which sunlight shall never seize.

The vampire by sunlight or stake.
The wolfman by silver in bone.
The demon by bell, book, and pentagram.
The fascist by fire alone.

The ash that descends in the September skies
Where the leapers swam down the stones?
Best answered by bombs from mid-heaven at prayer
With that fire which hollows the bones.

The vampire by sunlight or stake.
The wolfman by silver in bone.
The demon by bell, book, and pentagram.
The fascist by fire alone.

If their god decrees war, God’s war shall prevail.
His lessons are seared in His stone.
No dreams shall defer, nor wishes erase,
The answers that burn in the bone.

The vampire by sunlight or stake.
The wolfman by silver in bone.
The demon by bell, book, and pentagram.
The fascist by fire alone.

Only by Fire is Fascism Finished.
This Sin is demanded that Your Line may Live.
Only through Fire is Freedom Reborn.
Each generation pulls the Sword from the Stone.

Van der Leun: The Normblog Bio of Your Host“From a student radical/hippie/leftist of the Free Speech Movement/Vietnam Day Commitee era and a full-on Democratic Liberal in the decades after, I think I’ve evolved a politics that is neither right nor left but is, in its elemental nature, draconian. In the last 20 years, I’ve taken apart my beliefs with a sledgehammer. Now I’ve got to put the surviving parts back together with tweezers and other ‘shabby equipment, always deteriorating’.”
