Aleksandr Solzhenistyn has died at the age of 89. His books documenting the horrors of the Soviet gulag system provided constant reminders [to me] why we fight against fundamentalist right-wing christian fanaticism, and its main enabler, conservatism. And why we fight fundamentalism everywhere in the world, whatever form it takes.
Solz'n diaried the effects of the Fascist/Communist (no difference) all-powerful State which is the objective of the Democrat Party and its fellow-travelers.
Nice try, daddio. Goldberg's book has been almost universally lampooned by the serious people. You really should try to raise your reading level above sophomoric.
I couldn't disagree more, Tom. But funny, nonetheless.

Goldberg?
ReplyDeleteI read Solzhenitsyn, not Goldberg.
Tom's right. You need something--carrots? Eye surgery? New Blogger?
No, but you're taking your cues from Goldberg's book. You're too obvious, daddio.
ReplyDeleteTry original thought sometime.
