The Commie Comes Out

 

1. Runner-ups:

   “Send them to the camps!”
   “Turn in your parents for wrong-thinking”
   “Workers unite in the food line.”
   “You are getting sleepy.... very sleepy...”
   ‘Glory to the Motherland!”
   and
   “Kids, quit stalin and improve your marx”

2. All those phrases are for next term, when “he’ll have more flexibility”.

3. My grandmother could speak three languages but never learned to read English.
   I remember reading our newspapers to her from time to time when I was a kid.
   However, most of her news (aside from radio in those early days) came from a popular newspaper of the day, printed in Yiddish and called The Jewish Daily Forward. Or simply, the Forward. I know the grandparents weren’t pinko. Not even close. But I never (til now) gave that paper a political thought or agenda. Sorry I never learned to read that language.
   I never connected the red slogan which I was familiar with, with that paper.
   But it does now make one wonder what their viewpoint was. If it was Jewish (it was) and liberal, (couldda been & most likely was) then it’s entirely possible it was left leaning as well.  Food for some thought some 65 years late.
