#COMRADES IN HEAVEN OR HELL

I was in YPSL back in school and rooted Che and Fidel into Havana one January long ago. The only reason Communism has failed with Americans is probably that we are not sharers and carers by nature. We are acquirers, who worship at the altar of competition and a hierarchy of wealth. Won’t we all be surprised when we arrive in either Heaven or Hell to find we are ALL #comrades there?

Jim Langley I liked Obama, but I liked Kennedy better.

  Terry A Travers I liked Obama’s RELATIVES better. If Joseph P. Kennedy had his way and Hitler was less of a moron, we’d have been in bed with the Nazis. Change just a handful of History’s details and we’d have fought alongside the Kaiser in WWI. If German heads had controlled their hearts the entire 20th century would have been unrecognizable to us today. But JFK wasn’t his father and he meant well even though he would have blown us all to bits to preserve his own reputation.

  Terry A Travers Picture Germany that embraced its Jews and Hitler having respect for others’ opinions. Americans were already gravitating toward sympathy for the Germans after Versailles. Germany LOST in its desire to dominate the World because of its own stupid mistakes. …History’s ironies…
