Soviet Photos

English Russia has a 10-page photo album of photos from the Soviet Union.  From 1917 - 1940.  Most are propaganda, but some others seem authentic.

Here is Lenin's wife, Krupskaya, in 1929.  Lenin had been dead for 5 years by then.  She is meeting with the women's workers union to, no doubt, announce the coming "summer of recovery."  Or maybe to explain Stalin's laser-like focus on the economy.

Can't you see the impact of 10 years of hope and change in their faces?

A second massive famine of Bolshevik rule will hit the country in the next year with 6 million dead.  Ah, but as Krupskaya's late husband once said, "you can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs."


A little trivia for those of you who have grown bored with the Anthony Weiner scandal...

Krupskaya was one reason Stalin fell out of favor with Lenin.  When Lenin died, his wishes were to have Trotsky take over.  Trotsky was a guy who 'got things done.'  A doer.  Stalin was too, but there was a conversation between Stalin and Krupskaya when she was trying to keep Stalin from accessing the very ill Lenin.

Let's just say, Trotsky's stock went up because he never called Krupskaya a "syphilitic whore" to her face.

FB Conversation of the Day


Our Comrades at Real Soda, makers of the bourgeois soda Leninade, host the Facebook page, Leninade.

We used to sell Leninade with our Commie Obama hats, but we sold out several months ago.


 So today Leninade posts the following public service announcement to the masses:
There is no "I" in KGB!
Not to be left out in the Siberian summer, loyal Leninade followers posted the following:

But there is an "I" in Leninism!

Actually, two "I"s in Leninism.  And then there's 3 "I"s in Marxism-Leninism!

...the KGB has "I"s everywhere.  Stay cautious, my komrades...

We still include this side placard with every hat.

UPDATED 7.29 7:30pm:

Comrade Doktor, a hat owner, has informed us in the comments that we have a broken link to the Leninade Facebook page.  Here is the correct link.

Quote of the Day


Charles Payne, via Doug Ross, responding to Obama's excessive use of the word "inequality" in his recent speech on the economy:

He talked about [income inequality] being morally wrong. You know, Stuart, if you and I entered this building and there were different rules for each of us, that would be morally wrong. But if I dropped out of high school and smoked weed all day and you worked your way through college and made more money than I did, that's not inequality, that's just.

---

In my mind -- and I hate to say this -- I think President Obama would love to see civil unrest in this country very much like the Arab Spring. I think what he's trying to do is to spark this revolution against the wealthy, against the "One Percent" who are holding us back, who are hoarding this money...

For liberals and establishment GOP'ers, please use our email address at the left to send us your apologies for when you attacked us for calling out Obama's Liberal Progressive Communist inspirations.  And don't miss your chance to buy a Commie Obama hat while we still have some in stock.

Friday Afternoon Cigar

We smoked another Nub Connecticut as we pondered today's news. 


Apparently, our Attorney General has written a letter to the Soviets Russians promising not to execute or torture NSA whistle-blower Snowden if they return him to the US. 

It has been about two to two and a half months since Snowden blew his whistle. 

Should we assume it takes negotiations that long before the US will put such a promise in writing?  And from what position did the US start negotiating? 

One can only imagine Snowden experiencing the same fate as Soviet defector Walter Krivitsky, whose body was found with three suicide letters.

Story: NYT.

Discovering Fred Reed

[orig post 7.18 7pm]

We found Fred Reed's site yesterday through another of our favorite blogs.  A writer with numerous articles at his site and books at Amazon.  Also, he was a Marine in our last war with Communists.

We read his Zimmerman article last night - a taste:

Of course racism was involved in the shooting. The prosecution established this beyond doubt. Trayvon referred to Zimmerman as a “creepy-ass cracker,” “cracker” being a highly pejorative term for low-class whites living in decaying trailers in the pine barrens and Everglades of Florida. So Trayvon, a racist, didn´t like white people. So what? Most blacks don´t.

We then bought his 2002 book, Nekkid In Austin.

It is refreshing to find someone more skilled in sarcasm and unrestrained thought than us who feels the same way about our country.  We've added his site, Fred on Everything, to our blogroll and encourage you to take a gander.

Here is a part of his Foreword in Nekkid In Austin, a collection of essays:

As empires die, the barbarians usually gather at the gates, preparing a final rush.  Unfortunately our savages are already inside.  They are in the public schools, the universities, and downtown in the cities.  They make our movies, set social policy from afar, instill appropriate values in our children.  They do not know that they are savages.  They now rule us, and there is nothing we can do about it.
Except watch.  Vast disasters make splendid theater.  This one is going to be a doozy.

Fred's Site
Fred's Amazon Page - His Kindle books are only $2.99!

UPDATED and BUMPED 7.24 10pm:

We've added Fred's book, Nekkid In Austin, to our Library section to the left.  We've also put a link to our Book Notes there. 

UPDATED 7.25 10am:

We mentioned in the linked Book Notes that Fred reminded us of our late comrade, Crazy Uncle.  This was something we wanted to include here in our post too, as Crazy Uncle family visit often. 

America is lucky to have men like Fred and Crazy Uncle who don't fall into the nuance crap of what is otherwise everyday life.  Let's call out real problems.  Let's find real solutions regardless of the outrage their suggestion causes.  Let's stomp out the failure that is liberalism run amok.

Wednesday Night Cigar


The only thing better than smoking a cigar with your favorite rabbit is smoking a cigar with your favorite rabbit and laughing your ass off.


We burned a Nub Connecticut in a rare Cincinnati July 70-degrees.

U/T: FB Comrade David

Hammer, Sickle, Healthcard

A FB Comrade just posted this photo.


It's going to take the libs a while before they fully appreciate this lady's sign.  In the coming months, many will lose their health insurance.  And being libs, they will wonder why. 

Then, a year or two from now, these same libs will meet their local Commissar of Health Benefits to schedule a checkup with their doctor nurse practitioner.  Again, they will scratch their heads and wonder why it seems a bit harder to get a blood test and prescription refilled. 

Five years further, or maybe twenty for the younger libs, they will require a medical procedure to function or live. They will go through a process to determine the severity of their case and to determine the number of remaining productive tax-paying years they have left if they indeed did get the procedure. This process is for the greater good.

They will then be put on a list, because that is fair, and wait for their procedure.  For example, the average wait in Britain and Canada for a hip replacement is 18 months.  Only then will these libs realize how long 18 months is when they get to feel the grind of bone-on-bone. 

It is at that point we'd say "Welcome to the Republican Party," but alas, the Republican Party will only be a memory at that point.

This image is from our current meme contest:


Danger Is My Last Name


Men unable to control their sexual urges are not necessarily Democrats.  But, at least in this area, the Democrats set the higher standard.


Some are comparing Weiner to Clinton, and their wives to eachother too.  Those are fair comparisons, but a lot has changed in 15 years.  At least in these two areas:
1)  Values.  We'd argue the American electorate had higher standards for behavior in the 90's than they do now, and a lower threshold for the in-your-face media coverage of sex news.

2) Social Media.  Americans with compelling opinions have a national voice via social media, where in the 90's we recall turning to George Will and other pseudo-conservatives on the Sunday shows to voice our disgust.
One factor suggests Weiner will get a pass.  The other offers the possibility that he'll suffer pressure from too many fronts.  Of course we are hoping for the latter.


So the big news isn't that Weiner has issues.  We knew that a year ago.  What is new is the Carlos Danger moniker.  Conservative bloggers and Facebook'ers are running with this one.  Let's see where it goes.

The tragedy of this story isn't Weiner's marriage.  Like the Clintons, they have no family values and find no problem with this story other than the impact it may have on their political ambitions.  Watch for Huma to announce another pregnancy.

The real tragedy is that Carlos Danger is screwed if he isn't elected mayor of New York.  Like all Democrats, he has no skills and could do nothing else that comes with a steady paycheck.  And worse, nobody is hiring. 


First image from our meme contest.  Others from FB comrades.  Check back, we're sure to post more!

The Conversation About Race

Eric Holder says we should have it.  So does our dear leader.

Ok.  Let's begin.  Here is our take, as voiced by O'Reilly:



We wouldn't change one word.
