Congressman West's Strange Declaration

Earlier today,  Congressman Allen West (R. - Florida),  stated that "78 to 81 members of the Democrat Party are members of the Communist Party."  Asked to be more specific,  he pinpointed the Congressional Progressive Caucus.


As a vigorous progressive myself and a strong supporter of the caucus,  I guess that makes me a fellow traveler.  Not wishing to contradict The Good Congressman,  I decided to sing a few bars of The Internationale.  Still have the pipes for it!


Arise, you prisoners of starvation!
Arise, you wretched of the earth!
For justice thunders condemnation:
A better world's in birth!


Best to you,  comrades!

  1. Dan,

    I agree that West is a disgusting character, attempting to tar his philosophical/political opponents with a seriously pejorative brush.
    --Who, exactly, votes for these ignoramuses?
    THAT is the question.

    Beware of being too cute, however--
    some visitors to your blog may not
    realize you're joking and actually
    take you for a communist. Best Wishes.

  2. Well, Amber, the blog has received 11 pageviews from Russia and 3 from Germany. All of these hits from overseas appeared after this snarky commentary was posted. So you may be right. Who knows!
