Not A "Poison Pill?"

The very word “communism” used to be a “poison pill” if mentioned in connection with a presidential (or any other) political candidate, because schools were teaching the TRUTH about communism then, and when their students became adults and voted, they rightly knew that if a candidate was associated, in any way, with communism, they didn't want him (her) in any office. But, even after the FAILURE of communism in Russia, and other places, being a socialist OR a communist is no longer a BAR to being elected. In fact, a large part of the electorate today thinks communism is the best thing since sliced bread. The reason for that is that communists and their sympathizers have had a lot of years, and a lot of communist/socialist sympathizers in schools teaching that communism/socialism wants to RAISE everybody to a HIGHER LEVEL of wealth, making everybody rich. Of course, such an idea is ABSURD, but young people don't understand that. What communism/socialism does, in reality, is to LOWER everybody to the same economical level, making more and more people POOR. And you can't argue them out of it. They're too well conditioned to believe the lies they've been fed for years. So nobody criticizes Obama for praising the Castro brothers in Cuba and the job they've done in enslaving an entire people. (Town Hall)
