Reality. What you find with extreme partisans and I include extremist right wingers as well as the left wing is that when their claims are proved false they just change rhetoric. As to the what they have said before, they will either never mention it again, or deny that they ever said it in the first place if challenged. When denials do not work they resort to the final tactic in their arsenal which is too discredit anyone who doesn't agree as stupid or intolerant depending on the issue.
Wow, what short memories some people have. Did those posting that it was never stated live through the eighties? There was constant rhetoric in the media and political circles to this effect. I don't remember how many times a week we heard that Mr. Reagan was just a dangerous cowboy who was going to lead us into a nuclear war with the Soviet Union and that our goals would never be achieved.

Let's see....first, could you actually NAME some of these "liberals" you are talking about? I don't know any liberals who were fans of a country (USSR) that was more of a oligarchic dictatorship than a communist state. It was only "communist" in name, not in actuality. It was more like what America is becoming now--a place where the government spies on you, the media is in only a few hands, you can be jailed without trials, and so on. If you'd like to see some successsful socialist states, look toward Scandinavia, where people, for the most part, live happy healthy lives (they actually live quite a bit longer than most Americans).

What are you talking about? Your questions dont make any sense, are unnecessarily inflamatory, and are unsupported by reality.
