Russia gave Communism the heave-ho during Daddy Bush’s regime (also known as Cheney I). But that doesn’t mean the Communist menace is gone. Those red devils didn’t just pack up the Volga, take a chunk of The Berlin Wall for a souvenir, and get teaching jobs at the Kennedy School of Government.

They went underground, read “People”, watched “Oprah”, drank half-caf, skim-milk mocha lattes and realized there was no future in bad suits and long lines for potatoes and toilet paper. Then, when the time was right at the close of the millennium, when the world was worried about Y2K and the rise of the Terminators, the Commies came back—with a brand neo-look.

They called themselves the new Conservatives, the Neo-Cons, but over the past seven years they look about as conservative as Khrushchev pounding his shoe on the table.

How’s this for commie-servative:

Our Fearless Leader wants surveillance laws the K.G.B. would have loved—it’s called Bug ‘Em All and Let Dick Sort It Out. Just like the old Politburo, they were doing it any way and decided to pass the law after the fact.

If that doesn’t make you feel like you’re back in Red Square; we’re in a protracted war in the very same region, in the very same country where the old Soviet Union was in a protracted war (which they lost). In fact, we’re making Afghanistan look just like it did when it was at war with the Commies—smells like a do over to me.

Our army is underfunded and so underecruited it’s accepting less than ‘the best’ - something the Soviets did with a great deal of relish.

Wait, there’s more.

This Commservative government is so corrupt and so invasive it makes Roosevelt’s New Deal look Liberatarian. The only limits it has are on health care, FEMA, and competence. The latest Five Year economic plan has us in red ink again.

They dump habeas corpus, ignore the Constitution, chuck the Geneva Conventions, build secret prisons, lie about pretty much everything, and have next to nothing in common with the people they rule—note I did not say the people who elected them.

And if that’s not enough proof of evil and dictatorial old schoolski ‘Ruskie’ thinking; just the other day, when Commissar Cheney was asked what he thought about 3/4 of the nation being against the war in Iraq, he answered, “So.”

What he didn’t allow to be aired was what happened next. He looked into the camera and said: “We will bury you.”
