Sunday Evening Cigar

We received some Torano cigars in a free sampler pack recently, and lit one tonight. A Carlos Torano Exodus 1959. Tasty, very smooth with an even burn. Different than what we're used to, so the jury is still out, but definately not a reject.

Two American Thinker articles deserve mention tonight. It appears more are making the outrageous comparison between Obama and previous Communists. Pretty soon the political discourse will be completely derailed as all conservatives will see Ushanka-wearing commies around every corner! It reminds us of the time an Obama supporter tried to buy one of our Commie Obama hats because she thought it was "cute". But we digress...

James Lewis' 9-page article, Obama as Leninoid, starts with a bang, but does lack momentum. The point is: those with knowledge of history of evil are making comparisons that seem to stick.

As to "scapegoating the rich and all enemies of the regime":

Leninoids always find victim groups, or create them, or import them, and then claim to speak on their behalf. That is happening today in the United States with illegal immigrants. These are not just accidents but deliberate policy.

and to the tactic "Demonizing the Opposition":

It's weird for an American president to consider most of the American population "the enemy."

Andie Brownlow's article is From Russia With No Love, discusses the 'ol KGB theory that the US can be destroyed from within in four steps: Demoralization, Destabilization, Crisis, and then forced Normalization. A good refresher about the tactics of that For-The-Greater-Good crowd.

Can America return to conservative values and save itself from the jaws of Marxism, or will it spiral down a path of self destruction guided by none other than the former Soviet Union?

It can be argued that the destabilization of our culture and economy, magnified by policies of the Obama Administration, conform to KGB plans for the collapse of the United States. The only question remains: Is Obama masterminding the current events for economic collapse, or is he just the hapless puppet holding the hot potato?
