Quote:
Dilberth kaže:
How do you tell a communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin.

Ako je Regan makar procitao Marksa, ja cu se...
A o njegovom razumijevanju navedenog autora je izlisno i govoriti. Da bi se shvatile umne mogucnosti covjeka koji se usudio da donosi tako "visprene" zakljucke o komunistima, dovoljno je pogledati neke njegove bisere koje je izjavio tokom svog mandata. Poput ovih:
"All the waste in a year from a nuclear power plant can be stored under a desk."
"Approximately 80% of our air pollution stems from hydrocarbons released by vegetation, so let's not go overboard in setting and enforcing tough emission standards from man-made sources."
"But there are advantages to being elected President. The day after I was elected, I had my high school grades classified Top Secret."
"Going to college offered me the chance to play football for four more years." (Vidi se da je pazljivo proucavao Marksa tokom svojih studija!
)
"I am not worried about the deficit. It is big enough to take care of itself."
A u pogledu njegove kompetentnosti da donosi zakljucke o jednoj ekonomskoj ideologiji, bitno je napomenuti sledece:
-tokom njegovog mandata deficit budzeta se kretao od 101 do 236 milijardi, dok je za vrijeme Jimmya Cartera iznosio od 40 do 74 milijarde.
-nacionalni dug je uvecan sa 1 triliona na 2 triliona dolara.
-federalni izdaci su se povecali za 22%, a vojska je odgovorna za vecinu.
-vrijednost dolara je smanjena za 6%.
Zaista si nasao pravog autoriteta koji moze da ukaze na mane i nedostatke komunizma.
Ko je sledeci veliki ekspert? Churchill?
Ali, da se citav post ne bi pretvorio u citiranje americkih...
, evo nesto zaista vrijedno i nezaboravno.
Tecumsehov odgovor guverneru Williamu Harrisonu
"Houses are built for you to hold councils in. The Indians hold theirs in the open air. I am a Shawnee. My forefathers were warriors. Their son is a warrior. From them I take my only existence. From my tribe I take nothing. I have made myself what I am. And I would that I could make the red people as great as the conceptions of my own mind, when I think of the Great Spirit that rules over us all. I would not then come to Governor Harrison to ask him to tear up the treaty.
But I would say to him, "Brother, you have the liberty to return to your own country." You wish to prevent the Indians from doing as we wish them, to unite and let them consider their lands as a common property of the whole. You take the tribes aside and advise them not to come into this measure. You want by your distinctions of Indian tribes, in allotting to each a particular, to make them war with each other. You never see an Indian endeavor to make the white people do this. You are continually driving the red people, when at last you will drive them into the great lake, where they can neither stand nor work.
Since my residence at Tippecanoe, we have endeavored to level all distinctions, to destroy village chiefs, by whom all mischiefs are done. It is they who sell the land to the Americans. Brother, this land that was sold, and the goods that was given for it, was only done by a few. In the future we are prepared to punish those who propose to sell land to the Americans. If you continue to purchase them, it will make war among the different tribes, and, at last I do not know what will be the consequences among the white people.
Brother, I wish you would take pity on the red people and do as I have requested. If you will not give up the land and do cross the boundary of our present settlement, it will be vary hard and produce great trouble between us.
The way, the only way to stop this evil, is for the red people to unite in claiming a common and equal right in the land, as it was at first, and should be now -- for it was never divided, but belongs to all.
No tribe has the right to sell, even to each other, much less to strangers.
Sell a country?! Why not sell the air, the great sea, as well as the earth? Did not the Great Spirit make them all for the use of his children?
How can we have confidence in the white people? We have good and just reasons to believe we have ample grounds to accuse the Americans of injustice, especially when such great acts of injustice have been committed by them upon our race, of which they seem to have no manner of regard, or even to reflect. When Jesus Christ came upon the earth you killed him and nailed him to the cross. You thought he was dead, and you were mistaken. You have the Shakers among you, and you laugh and make light of their worship. Everything I have told you is the truth. The Great Spirit has inspired me."
