Duck, Duck, Goose!

REDS then and reds now ........................

No! Duck, Duck. Communism is flying our way.

Demoncrat Barack Obama joined other communist sympathizers promising union activists he would walk a picket line as president if organized labor helps elect him in 2008.

Obama proudly said,

"We are facing a Washington that has thrown open its doors to the most anti-union, anti-worker forces we've seen in generations. What we need to make real today is the idea that in this country we value the labor of every American."

"I stood on the picket line and marched with workers at the Congress Hotel in Chicago last week," Obama said. "I had marched with them four years earlier and I told them when I left that if they were still fighting four years from now, I'd be back on that picket line as president of the United States."

Obama, oh, so, "REDS" …………… Based on the true story of John Reed, a radical American journalist around the time of World War I. He meets Louise Bryant, a respectable married woman, who dumps her husband for Reed and becomes an important feminist and radical in her own right. After involvement with labor and political disputes in the US, they go to Russia in time for the October Revolution in 1917, when the Communists siezed power. Inspired, they return to the US, hoping to lead a similar revolution. A particularly fascinating aspect of the movie is the inclusion of interviews with "witnesses", the real-life surviving participants in the events of the movie.
