Since the communists aim at world domination and the destruction of
our way of life it hardly seems unreasonable to try and stop them.
Communism is like cancer, you can't treat it like a normal
condition or it will kill you.

Anything "Red" *IS* bad. The weakness in American foreign policy is
in not having found more effective means of dealing with communism.

Let me explain communism to you: society is viewed in terms of
classes. In order to establish a communist society, the communist
party aims at the annihilation of the intellectual class, the
political/military class, the capitalist class, and anyone
else who could possibly oppose the aims of the party.

Witness the mass starvations and liquidations in the Soviet Union
and Cambodia during the initial stages of communist rule.

Once society has been reduced to a helpless mass of relatively
powerless and ignorant individuals, the new order can be imposed.
The new order essentially serves to perpetuate and enrich
the party at the expense of the masses, in the guise of creating
a "workers paradise" (which is nothing more than a fiction created
for purposes of propaganda.)

Why should we tolerate such a barbaric form of tyranny?
