La Cucaracha by Lalo Alcaraz for January 12, 2014

Thank You, Lalo!!! :-)

I couldn’t have said it better, myself…

Thank You Very Much.

I have so much respect for your cutting wit and insightful politics in this messed-up world.

and the first troll calling President Mandela a terrorist in 5…4…3…2…1

We could use a lot more like him. Sadly, we’ll never see them.

Beautiful sentiment, unfortunately Rwanda and The Central African Republic today shows tribal priorities trump it.

Unfortunately, First World inhabitants can be just as tribal as Third.

re clenched fist salute:

fm website of the Communist Party of Great Britain (Marxist-Leninist):“The raised clenched fist, first known as the ‘Red Salute’ was used as a greeting by Bolsheviks in the Soviet Red Army during the Russian civil war…”

fm The Lede blog on the NY Times website:“Beyond the gesture itself, the image of a raised fist has been more commonly associated with justice and solidarity movements on the political left.”

re characterization of Mandela as a Communist terrorist:

again that left-wing organ, the NY Times, reported in Dec, 2013 about a paper published in 2011 that concluded “that Nelson Mandela had been a member of the South African Communist Party — indeed, a member of its governing Central Committee.”

Huffington Post, also Dec, 2013: Mandela “spent much of his life as a radical Marxist allied with global communist luminaries”

You will notice that every cite is from a left-wing source.

“You will notice that every cite is from a left-wing source.”.So why would anyone believe citations from left-wing sources? They must be lying or wrong and therefore you must believe the opposite.

Notice how the right-wing nut jobs make every effort to deflect attention from the point of the statement: “Social equality is the only basis for human happiness.”Of course, social equality is the one thing that conservatives of all stripes hate the most. In fact, my favorite definition of a conservative is “one who has an easy acceptance of social inequality.”
