The meltdown continues

When I first saw a post about "911 America's Reichstagg [sic] Fire" Marshall Law and Gun Confiscation on the Horizon!!, I noticed two things. First two exclamation points is always the sign of quality writing, so I knew I was in for a good time. Secondly, that someone named Marshall is pushing gun confiscation. Later I realized what the the author really meant to say was Martial Law, as in military rule is on the horizon. This unsigned screed then goes on about the Bush administration wanting to take away gun rights, conveniently forgetting that it's Democrats that are pushing gun controls. They also conveniently gloss over the fact that Hitler not only quoted Marx and Engels at length, but put their tenants to practice. NAZI is an abbreviation for the National Socialist party after all. It's a fact that modern day leftists don't want you to remember.
In fact, let's look at the world's most deadly regimes (Note-I am including forced famines in these numbers, not just those executed via violent means):
- USSR (leftist, communist): Lenin and Stalin had an estimated 10-60 million Soviets executed.
- People Republic of China (leftist, communist): Mao had an estimated 60-100 Chinese executed and his favorite after work relaxation was deflowering 12 year old virgins.
- Cuba (leftist, communist): Castro had thousands murdered and there are still people in jail today.
- Nazi Germany (leftist, socialist): Hitler had 6-10 million people executed based on sexual orientation, political affiliation and race. More here and here.
- Vietnam (leftist, communist): Ho Chi Min had 1-3 million executed and another 300,000 to 600,000 may have perished trying to flee the country.
- North Korea (leftist, communist): ?????
- Cambodia (leftist, communist): 1 to 3 million people killed
So, from this cursory glance through the 20th Century, I can see that leftist states are more likely to kill millions of their own people. President Bush may be more liberal than I like on domestic issues, but he's hardly a communist and under his administration gun ownership became a little easier.
I'm filing this one under "projection". Yet another example of leftists in America projecting their own desires and ideals on Republicans.
