LA CUCARACHA Y LAS CUCARACHITAS
Communism is like having cockroaches in your cupboard.

Communism is not another political party, like the Libertarians, Democrats or Republicans. Communism is an infestation. As I said, communism is like having cockroaches in your cupboard, in the flour, in the bagged goods, finding them in your baked cakes, in your bread, even dead ones in your morning's dish of cereal.

It's cockroach fecal matter under your clean dishes in the closet.

We've got them in our schools, and our colleges. The trouble is that they're difficult to eradicate. They have an agenda, and our society is an open society and doesn't realize or refuses to recognize the danger. Cuba had that problem without realizing it; La Maxima Cucaracha, Fidel Castro, came in claiming to be Jesus Christ, the Savior and turned out to the Satan in disguise. Venezuela has that problem, but we are seemingly unaware of it. (They seem to be too, although many Venezuelans are now alarmed about it, but still not ready to combat it). The problem is that Communists (or Socialists) are clever; they keep alarming us about other things, like magicians, diverting our attention while they work their witchcraft behind our backs.

For example, who ever expected one of America's most vocal communists, most critical adversaries of our political system during the mid-thirties into the forties, to appear on a U.S. Postage stamp? Paul Robeson on a stamp? Why, because he could sing? Certainly he had a magnificant voice; I heard him sing on the radio often. But on a stamp? Bull. Those with an agenda in Washington, a definite agenda that runs contrary to what the Founding Fathers believed in, wanted him there, to show that they had the power to do it. While Stalin was imprisoning millions and executing tens of thousands, he stood firm in the Communist ranks, right there in Moscow with the hardcore commies.

That's like putting a picture of Ho Chi Minh or Che Guevara on an official U.S. postage stamp! Damn. Las cucarachitas, right? Who influenced the Postal Commission in this direction? Who are the people on our Postal Commission? Who was behind this move to honor a man who believed in a foreign ideology, one that taught the principles of revolution, the violent overthrow of the U.S. Government? Las cucarachitas again, right? Look around you. Look behind the pipes, in the dark damp recesses of the cabinets under the sink; that's where you'll find Las Cucarachitas. Look in your anti-war groups, where-ever there's a sign of violence.
