34. I SEE! "Better RED than DEAD!" RIGHT?
Of course as a Socialist I am being faceacious: a little more of THAT sort "Red" would be good for the people in my book.

I am of course referring to Cold War Rhetoric from the 50's when the Soviets looked pretty damned powerful, and the the phrase "Better Red than Dead" was used in as a derision to people viewed by the "Right" of the time as "appeasers."

HOWEVER, now it's just fine to give everything over to FASCIST TOTALITARINISTS, because "None of your civil liberties matter much after you’re dead." He should be sayin None of your civil liberties matter much after they're GONE.
