To File Under, "If It Walks Like A Duck, , , "

This is something that always puzzled me. If I can see it. If countless others of other bloggers and members of the Tea Party can see it, why can't pundits like Charles Krauthammer and Rick Moran see what's should be as plain as day?

I guess it's an elitist thing:

Unless and until those who people the contemporary socialist movement revert to donning berets and going full-on khaki, or carrying little red books in their tiny utilitarian shirt pockets, or referring to themselves as numbers like a cadre of high-ranking SPECTRE villains, the nuanced pragmatic conservatives of the stripe who backed McCain and mocked the TEA Party at its birth wouldn’t recognize a Marxist if several of them clenched themselves into a giant worker’s fist and went totally Caligula on our dear intellectual betters.

A Series Of Clown Cars Communist Bus Tour Is Hitting The Streets

Coming this summer, a group of youths advocating violence may be traveling to your town in a bus colored to inflame emotions.

Be sure to find out where they are and ask them questions. Not about philosophy of their system but ask for money.

Something like, "Brother, I identify with your views and agree with you to some point but the man has been keeping me down and I need some money. Can you help me out? One true believer to another?"

Anyway, this is from the Young Communist's website, the group sponsoring the tour:

Youth Unite and Fight! - Young Communist League, USA - Who We Are!

What do you call a system that promotes community, economic justice and equality, peace among nations, and outlaws racism, sexism, and homophobia? [My emphasis on the ironic parts for the liberals who might see this]

I would imagine they are immune to their own irony.

Okay, it's not so much as irony but it's that they want fights and 'revolution' until the right people are in charge. Then there will be 'peace'. And their version of 'peace' is smashing the fingers, toes, feet, hands, nose, kneecaps or nuts of anyone who speaks against their way of running things. How else do you keep order in a "perfect society"?
