 1. What makes these lies as you claim commie? Do you think that by

 the commies are dead, except for 1 in Cuba and a couple of really old guys 
 in rural China.

Hey, what do you guys want? Not only are we not very useful, but, hell,
I don't think we've been *communist* since at least the first attempt
around at asian nations. Oh, wait. Commie means not like me.

 2. You knowledge of history is as shoddy as your ability to spot communists 
 and their lies. The CIA actively recruited and trained Isalmic religious 
 students and helped build and arm the Taliban. And frankly, despite the 
 fact I've never been a supporter of US foreign policy, I was all for it. 
 The Taliban SEEMED at the time to represent a clear moral force that 
 alone had the power to unify Afghanistan and bring an end to the Chaos. 
 WHat exactly went wrong I have never fully understood, though I DO know 
 that had I been Afghani, and had I seen a foreign Talib slapping around an 
 Afghan woman, I would have done my best to off the punk. ANd Mullah Omar 
 doesn't seem to have been all there on some levels...


Mr. Powell, please meet Mr. Durden. Mr. Durden.. oh, hell he isn't
European, is he? He is? Fuck it. Kill him anyway. I'm bored. Is there
any cake around?

Commie is an explanation for the fact that hostile lies about
US allies who fought communists are usually accompanied by
favorable lies about the Soviet Union and its servants.

That's an interesting private definition. I'm glad you've finally voiced
one.

Now, for instance, I no longer have to waste precious cycles thinking
that you just use the term for anyone who fails to have an absurd hatred
for outspoken professors of language*.
