Enlightened progressive views are superior and have prevailed. A consensus has been formed; the debate is over. Yet Neocon reactionaries are still allowed to write and publish books that attack Liberalism. The radical remedy for such hateful acts is, of course, book burning.

There have been many successes in recent years at shutting down those who oppose our tolerant ideology. In universities and communities across this country, reactionary speakers have been banned, disrupted, shouted down, and had pies thrown at them.

The media has been useful at discrediting and mocking them.

The Democratic party has been purged of Neocon freethinkers such as Joe Lieberman.


Yet the news that the debate is over hasn't yet reached certain book publishers who are profiting from hate speech and the slanderous writings of reactionary authors.


The single most guilty author is Jonah Goldberg, author of Liberal Fascism, a book that falsely claims that Fascism isn't a right wing ideology but is related to socialism and the Left.

But this is ridiculous. Have you seen a picture of Hitler lately? What kind of progressive would have such a horrible hairstyle? In addition, his taste in art was limited to the DWEM masters.

Mussolini was a womanizer with rough and manly facial features. But most progressive men have feminine characteristics and respect women above all else.

Goldberg's criminal thoughts and opinions must be and shall be silenced.

The progressive view of free speech is that it only applies to things we like. Free speech doesn't mean allowing the expression of views we disagree with.

Today Book Burning, Tomorrow The Fairness Doctrine.

Today Book Burning, Tomorrow The Fairness Doctrine.

Truer words have rarely been spoken Comrade Maksim. Progressives should be free to repeat whatever the Party tells them without fear of arguments, logic or rebuttal. Progressive Speech is the only "free speech" our society needs.

It will not be with jackboots. It will be Nike sneakers and smiley shirts. Smiley-smiley."

Case Closed!

I know of many books that need to be burned for the common good. And perhaps a few truckfulls of c certain incriminating evidence for several unrelated matters that will be hidden in with all the other "books" to be incinerated.

These books can be a source of fuel during long,cold nights.

Burn Books for fuel! Burn books for fuel! Save the caribou! Burn books for fuel!!

Maksim! I see you found the picture of me when I starred in our Gulag's amateur revival of Saturday Night Fever--where "Stayin' Alive" wasn't just another Bee Gees song to boogie to.

"Stayin' Alive" has never been a song to boogie to. I will concede, however, the popularity of the movie among the young, imppresionable and utterly decadent Western youth, certainly moreso than the ill fated sequels, "Sunday Morning Regret" and "Monday Afternoon at Rehab."

Speaking of haircuts... Found this in the archives.

Yes Pinkie, I used your image without permission. I know from another thread that you have lost your male oppressor, or can't remember his name, or whatever the hell the problem is. So to pay you back, once again I have found you a replacement. He's no Brad Pitt but then who is.

No good, Maksim. He's wearing a red shirt.

He's wearing a black shirt, with a red three piece suit. A black shirt is good, Pinkie likes Fascist.

Red, black... I just hope you have a good answer to "what is her left hand pointing at and why?" You made the Politburo curious.

(And I just hope the word "curious" will not be perceived as an underhanded insult to Obama. We are walking on eggshells here, people.)

Could it be that she's discovered the hangar for the new attack helicopter?

I DENOUNCE PINKIE AS A CAPITALIST SPY! She is sending messages to the capitalists through coded interpretive dance moves to reveal the secret location of the Party's latest weapon against imperialism! She must be stopped at once!

OR (just in case I am reacting too quickly on scanty intelligence, or in case the source illustration has been photoshopped, or in case Pinkie is standing behind me with a raised shovel)

I DENOUNCE KOMRADE ZARKOF AS A CAPITALIST PLANT SENT TO SOW DISSENTION WITHIN THE PARTY!

Betinov, have you been clinking glasses with Vodkov again?

I think you're jealous. Jealous of Vodkov, who's mistakenly jealous of Huckabee because he thinks I'm that kind of HO--though I've also considered the possibility that Vodkov has a little thing for Huckabee, the way he talks about him all the time.

Or maybe you're jealous of my dance partner. Or just his clothes. Last week you were whining that you didn't have a hat; now you want a red leisure suit, is that it?

And the only reason I haven't hit you with a shovel yet is not because of the broken glass that would ensue, but because I couldn't bear to see the vodka in your jar go to waste. Once I figure out how to extract vodka from the floor, free of glass fragments, we'll be boogying to a new disco song.

It'll be Shovel Time!

Note to self: request new, plexiglass brain jar from commissar commissary.

Comrades and Commissarka Pinkie,

I would never claim that Pinkie was or is an agent of capitalists.

There was a question about the graphic with a male dance partner added and I was only offering my observation about any possible meaning for the woman's hand gestures. Here is another interpretation of this image.

Look at the stern look on the woman's face, and the way that both of her hands are positioned. It's quite clear to me that she's signalling her crack security detail that she's found some "guest soaps" for Commissar Pupovich and they need to begin the extraction process. I hope they have sharp knives.

Any true comrade would request that the procedure be performed without anesthetic and with rusty, dull instruments.

It's true, Premier Betty, that more adrenaline in the system makes the meat or organs of animals tougher. I would imagine Pupovich likes his "nuggets" chewy.

Isn't book burning the logical next step?
At Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, reading a book on the Ku Klux Klan may amount to "racial harassment."

The May 9 edition of the New York Post carries a short article by an Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis student named Keith John Sampson. He tells a story of being charged with "racial harassment" simply because he was "caught" reading an anti-Ku Klux Klan book. I'm not kidding. Sampson tells his story:

The book was Todd Tucker's Notre Dame vs. the Klan: How the Fighting Irish Defeated the Ku Klux Klan; I was reading it on break from my campus job as a janitor. The same book is in the university library . . .
But that didn't stop the Affirmative Action Office of Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis from branding me as a detestable Klansman.
They didn't want to hear the truth. The office ruled that my 'repeatedly reading the book . . . constitutes racial harassment in that you demonstrated disdain and insensitivity to your co-workers.'

Only conservative hate-speech books,Commissar Maksim.
They must all be burned to protect us from their fascist indoctrination powers.
