I believe Pravda is a paper not much unlike the National Enquirer. It is simply a propaganda machine. But then again, look at some of the United States news sources such as Fox and MSNBC.

You of all people should be able to recognize self denial.

I recognize desperation and unhappiness with the results of the last Presidential election, and the hysterical cry of "wolf!" on the part of those who suddenly find themselves in a position they are unhappy with. Its expected and fairly typical. Its pure hyperbole and extremism which we have all come to accept from some of you. I think it fairly safe to say that those who supported the "Stimulus Package", the "bailouts" and other measures to stabilize our markets and the larger economy did not do so in order to march us towards "Communism". The same charge was lodged during the Great Depression, when conditions were far more favorable for such an eventuality. Still it did not happen - we did not become a Communist state. It is sad when politically disaffected Americans seize upon the writings of Pravda, to try and make political points. Pravda is doing their part to play the American right and the American right is clearly ready to dance to the tune Pravda plays.

Chavez says he'll "give it to Obama at the next meeting."
"What Is to be Done?" is Lenin's political treatise on the role of intellectuals and the proletariat in promoting revolution, written more than a decade before he led the Bolshevik takeover of Russia in 1917.

Today's Pravda is a sensationalist magazine with little of its former content, but just as believable.
Yes, social justice is used by churches -- liberal ones more interested in politics than religion.

Queen snake,
The article is over the top with its description of US churches, but does well describe some of our education system.
As the same issue carries first hand experiences with fire breathing djinn, I would not quote from it even, if it supported my views -- believability counts.
