Here's the part that scared me: 39 percent of young people associated George W. Bush with crimes against humanity, 34 percent on Tony Blair. Higher percentages than for either Mao Tse-tung (20 percent) or Pol Pot (19 percent). The cause is sheer ignorance of History. No less than 70 percent of young people said they had never heard of Chairman Mao, while 72 percent had never heard of the Cambodian génocide.

Have you read the Gulag Archipelago? Great book and very enlightening. Unfortunately if you ask most college age kids these days what form of political ideology killed most people in the 20th century they will say Nazis. Although the Nazis were horrible and killed many people they don’t hold a candle to the communists in sheer efficiency at killing their fellow man. The communists killed an order of magnitude more.

Yes, it's amazing that Communism still seems to create a romantic feeling in the hearts of some American liberals today. They choose to forget (or they never bothered to learn)the horrors and genocides communism has created, over and over again.

The scary part is when they believe that they personally could do communism better. What level of narcissism do you need to have that delusion?

The ignorance of a modern education...and we're supposed to be living in the information age. The problem is, the information people crave is what Kim Kardashian wore to the club Friday night, or what some actor has to say about global warming. You are not "informed" if all of your information gathering can be written in 140, or even 280 characters.
