During the 1930s communism

During the 1930s communism and socialism were very popular. It was pressure from the Communist party, unions and socialists that persuaded FDR to to pass the New Deal legislation. Paid for my high taxes on the the rich, corporations and elites. 90% tax on the highest incomes.

The cold war propaganda killed the communist parties and socialist and was trying to kill the unions as well. The tax rate and new deal legislation remained intact because the elites were still scared shitless of a communist uprising/take over.

The launch of sputnik intensified this since if the soviets could put a silly little ball up in space, they could put a bomb over NYC.

Once this became not the case with the fall of the Soviet Union, the changed the tactics and went for the jugular.

But their capitalistic empire is collapsing around them and they do not realize or accept that this is what unbridled capitalism does.

So the paranoia arises anew.

Good one, Richard. You

Good one, Richard. You almost had me with the Santorum/Hunger Games bit. That's how crazy these politicians are getting! (I'm reading "The Hunger Games" right now. It's really very good!)

Would love to see the pics of your granddaughter. I think you can use free image hosting like PhotoBucket or TinyPic.

Oh Smith.

I had these beautiful pix of my granddaughter hiding behind a couch and then looking under this huge rug and then pointing up like she had found something of value!

And I spent two nights attempting to get them on this blog!

Damn!

Under the carpet of the House! Aha! (Why does this remind me of a Robert Benchley or a James Thurber story? LOL)

When I first moved to NYC, I lived on the third floor of a 3 story walkup in Long Island City. It was one subway stop from Manhattan and I was about 2 blocks and the East River from the U.N. It was an odd neighborhood, half residential, half industrial, and the residential was mostly Old World Italians. I called it the mafia grandmother neighborhood, as each Sunday, the new cars were parked on the streets as the low level wiseguys came to have Sunday dinner with grandma ... Anyway, I had a couple of neighbors, a very nice looking couple, that I suspect might have been those Communists you and your grand-daughter were looking for. They mostly kept to themselves, but since the guy's last name was also Smith and we both lived on the third floor, we often got our mail mixed up. Their subscription to Soviet Life was not the only clue that they might have been Commies, but it did arouse my suspicions. They lived there for a couple years, but then left somewhat suddenly ... probably to go live under your carpet.

All I ever find under my carpet is dirt and crumbs. If I am lucky I sometimes find a candy wrapper. You have to be well off to find a commie under your carpet. Commies can be pretty picky about what carpet they reside under.
