RR, JS, DR and the rest of the gang Thought it appropriate to re-post what was posted before. Note how RR puts words in my mouth that he wants me to say that he knows I don't believe in plus he lies like hell on my take on gun control, setting up a straw man he can easily knock down. For g-d sakes pay attention to what I write and think, think, think before posting. Comrade Blumenthal In a message dated 2/8/2013 3:11:24 P.M.

What you are posting here is called a "rant". Here's an idea for you: Have the government arrest people like me who don't agree with you. If you don't want me to have a gun then have the government pass a law that I can't own a gun. That way if I don't agree with them they can send me to a prison camp. If I don't do anything they tell me to do then they can send me to a prison camp. Or better yet have them send me to a prison camp from which I never return. As Stalin would say "problem solved". -RR -----Original Message----- From: Sblumen123@xxxxxxx Sent: Feb 8, 2013 1:35 PM To: sparkscoffee@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [sparkscoffee] Re: Holocaust quiz RR, DR & JS 1. Any disagreement on Dr. Josef Mengele who in Auschwitz with the flip of his finger would greet train newcomers on which line to stand, one for slave labor and experiments on twins, and wimmen with children to the 'shower room'? After the war he was kidnapped in Argentina, brought to Israel, tried and hanged, the only one to be executed by Israel. 2. The uselessness of secret, illegal, dirty missions where even medals are given out secretly when the communists win anyway like in Viet Nam. 3. Is Stalingrad which was fought under the USSR flag a lie? 4. Which countries are communists - China, Cuba where 60 nations got together for trade agreements under CELAC, Venezuela, Viet Nam, Russia, Brazil, North Korea. Can you eleminate any of these and name others you hate? 5. If socialisim leads to slavery why are we so concerned? By now the sheepies of the world would have learned? The arabs are enjoying their spring awakenings why not those in communist countries? 6. Captalisim=unnecessary wars=outsourcing=national debit= robotics=unemployment=recession=extreme uneven distribution of wealth=revolution=socialisim. Considering we are a group of intelegent Radio Officers the three of you will have to come up with a bit more details instead of the unanswerable cliches you love so much.

"Who controls the past," ran the Party slogan, "controls the future: who controls the present controls the past." And yet the past, though of its nature alterable, never had been altered. Whatever was true now was true from everlasting to everlasting. It was quite simple. All that was needed was an unending series of victories over your own memory. "Reality control," they called it." ― _George Orwell, 1984_ (http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/210910.Napoleon_Bonaparte) The difference between Communist revision of history and that of free countries is that the Communists do not allow any contradiction of their version of history. Even in socialist Europe today it is a crime to question the official version of the holocaust that is punishable by years in prison. Socialism = totalitarianism = slavery. -RR -----Original Message----- From: "Lee, NI7I" <pixiehat@xxxxxxxxxxx> The only thing I have a problem with is the implication that communist states somehow have a monopoly on re-writing history.. Look at Japans official view on their war with Korea, China, and,m of course the rest of the world during WWII. The US has done their fare share as well... If you look hard enough, it is my belief, that you will find any State that has done something embarassing, will do just that... edit a page or two in the history books..l Lee </pixiehat@xxxxxxxxxxx> “Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.” - Buddha "Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the government take care of him, better take a closer look at the American Indian." - Henry Ford
