Perhaps we should enlist the french ambassadors help in our surrender to the drug lobby

"Drug lobby"? Who is that? There is no "lobby" for those opposed to Prohibition. There is a political movement.

Who is the "we" who has abandoned the fight against communism. And where do you think the best battelgrounds against communism are? China? I've seen people post here at SOS (the old one) who claim that China is no longer communist. And this was somebody who was shaded, at least, "conservative". And there are people out there who seem to think that the Russian Federation is still communist.

Where are the communists? Cuba? Cuba is a simple dictatorship run by a family just like the old order they overthrew in the fifties. Nobody brags about the march of communism there. Obama? People accuse Obama of being a Marxist, but the truth is he could care less about anything besides the nose on his face. Nobody in the Obamination presidency is bragging about the march of socialism or anything like that.

The Soviet Union is dead, the Cold War is ancient history. The enemy now? Islam. And Islam makes communism look pretty benign by comparison. How many skyscrapers did the communist knock over when they had any kind of political vitality in the US?
