It certainly had no value whatsoever before the free market found uses for it, not the government. If you're through nitpicking, perhaps you have something, anything to add?




Didn't think so.

Didn't think so.
First of all, you said that the free market invented oil. That's what I was responding to.

As for the rest of your post... I mean... I guess you should familiarize yourself with the oil politics of WWI.

Re: How come so few recognize the danger of Communism?

If you look around the world where do find an example of a successful communist state? It is a failed ideology. I have no fear of Obama moving us in that direction. It's too ridiculous to even contemplate.

Re: How come so few recognize the danger of Communism?

And what entity do you suppose is responsible for ensuring you've got ready access to that oil and all the products derived from it?

So you actually believe that the people facing the danger of the ocean as they seek to flee Cuba are doing so due to "delusional fear"?

You actually believe the millions who Stalin murdered died due to "delusional fear"?

You are fortunate that you live in America [as long as it lasts] and can "think" that the pain and suffering of those being persecuted today by Communist zealots around the world is all "delusional " because it is not happening to you.

The Liberal is psychologically naive and possessed by a Scotoma that allows despots to exercise brutality while the Liberal checks the language of those who seek to interfere in the brutality of the despot for spelling errors.

But this is has always been the way of Life.

Peace

This incredulity is precisely what the Communist counts on from many people who are always surprised when they are being marched into some camp.

Few Americans are old enough to remember when Americans did these same type of atrocities to the Native Americans.

No one system of government has the monopoly on abusive, murderous power.

Re: How come so few recognize the danger of Communism?

It seems that the average American sure had his share in anti-communism brainwashing. This is the 30th thread on this topic

1. Communism is dead, already 2 decades now. Give it a rest.
2. Obama is not a communist.

If Obama is a communist, why don't people flee in the other direction?

This reality is the reason then that we should do nothing to interfere in or prevent the use of "abusive, murderous power"? I suppose we differ in recognition of what causes such abuse of power, and that once identified, it can be fought against.

If Obama is a communist, shouldn't people have to flee in the other direction?
Only someone who is in denial of reality could utter such a definitive denial of Obama's Marxist tendencies, associations, and psychological disposition as not suggesting his penchant for Communist ideology. But you are certainly not alone in your denial.

Some people are in denial as yourself, and others are tied to their work, their families, and to a hope that what they are observing is not really happening. If we could ascertain how many with resources to do so have already relocated to some more passive environment, we would I believe be quite surprised.

The only thing that's realistic to label as denial here is your ignorance of what Marxism really means and is, and your refusal to refrain from babbling about it and incorrectly using the term in the first place.

Of course, only a true communist would do that, Comrade, so you've exposed yourself.

I thought it was Nixon and Kissinger who brought us peace with honor. How many members does the American Communist party currently have?
