I agree with the 1st posters comments..... These rules are NOT about socialist or communist views there about shaping the views of people.

Look at the first one...

Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have. Power is derived from the sources people, and money. Is this not a true statement.....

Ridicule is a man's most potent weapon. There is no defense. It's irrational. Think Rush

I guess that the hard right machine is going back to the well one to many times.....these rules are old news. Used against Obama.
I am no socialist, but in college at first glance it seemed interesting...but then I moved into a condo unit then I began to understand...it was an object lesson. Should my views or any political candidates views be set in stone when they were in college? I think not because I know my views on many things have evolved over time.
