It is at 145 Million souls for Communism, but who's counting!

Only Islam has more, at 240 Million, but the've taken 1400 years, to rack up those numbers.

Malaria has bigger numbers, but the Communists are just getting started.

But with diseases, it’s not a deliberate act.

Collectivism can only function at the point of a gun, that puts the left on the wrong side of history and either ignorant or guilty of the consequences of their ideology.

They always claim to be for compassion, safety, and saving lives, but collectivism is the antithesis of those values.

Reagan signed two egregious bills that we are still paying for today. The first one was the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 which did require employers attest to the immigration status of employees making it illegal to knowingly hire illegal immigrants but it gave amnesty to an estimated 3 million illegals and did nothing to curb nor stop illegal immigration.

The second one he signed is the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act of 1986 which requires hospital emergency departments that accept payments from Medicare to provide an appropriate medical screening examination (MSE) for anyone seeking treatment for a medical condition regardless of citizenship, legal status, or ability to pay. Participating hospitals may not transfer or discharge patients needing emergency treatment except with the informed consent. Due to this law people use the ER in hospitals as if it were their family doctor leaving the taxpayer, you and I, to foot the costs that are not paid by the ER patient. It is the reason ERs are full of patients a large portion of whom will not pay their bill or are abusing the system.

Both were mistakes, that President Trump will hopefully avoid.

The point in all of this is to take stock in the cost of the left’s Utopian fantasies in human lives and misery and do what we can to put an end to the carnage.

Leftists will often say ‘If it can save one life….’ Well, what about millions?

I think a more effective way to teach about the evils of communism, is to drag every Marxist university professor to the unemployment line immediately. Teach the evils of communism from the top down, the same way they have been teaching it, but much faster. Like all at once. The issue of teaching Marxism evils to grade school kids, is that there are already two to three generations of university trained Marxists who will eventually be running the country. Those need to be dealt with FIRST.
