Chris Coons: 'I Studied Under A Marxist'

The much dismissed article written by now Delaware Senate candidate Chris Coons that bore the title: "Chris Coons: The Making of a Bearded Marxist."
(A serious hat tip to Dan Riehl over at Riehl World View.)

Now the title of this article has been bandied about in a few media quarters, only to be laughed at and dismissed. Coons himself leads us to believe that he was just joshing.

The problem? No one is taking the time to really read the contents of the article and connect it to what's going on right this minute in American politics.

As mentioned earlier this week, if what Christine O'Donnell did in high school is important, than what we have here is a very disturbing look at the mind of a man who now thinks he's entitle to a seat in the United States Senate.

Here's Chris Coons on Chris Coons:

"The point that others ignore is that I was ready to change. Experiences at Amherst my first two years made me skeptical and uncomfortable with Republicanism…"

"Kenya provided a needed catalyst; …I studied under a bright and eloquent Marxist professor at the University of Nairobi…"

"Some of the 'Leftists' that I met were terrifyingly persuasive, although I never admitted that."

"…several professors challenged the basic assumptions about America and world relations with which I had grown up…and undermined the accepted value of progress and the cultural superiority of the West."

"I came to suspect…that the ideal of America as 'a beacon of freedom and justice, providing hope for the world' was not exactly based on reality."

"What do other nations think of us? Can private enterprise and democracy solve the problems of developing nations? Is Marxism an evil ideology, leading millions into totalitarian slavery? These were some of the questions in the back of my mind…"

"I realize that Kenya and America are very different, but experiences like this warned me that my own favorite beliefs in the miracles of free enterprise and the boundless opportunities to be had in America might be largely untrue."

In short then, Chris Coons the Senate candidate is determined to get to the Senate and be an agent of the Obama radical redistributionist agenda.

And the person that stands in the way is Christine O'Donnell.

Any questions?

Beautiful. We have the choice of these two misfits as a U.S. Senator. One is a Marxist Socialist who wants to destroy America. The other is an admitted dabbler in Witchcraft who overspends public money.

Just Beautiful

Sounds to me like he has the brains to question the "America the shining angel" mantra that Repub. force feed us. Questioning an ideal is far from embracing a different ideaology. I guess the "tow the line" republicans can't see that. Talk about Kool Aid

I see nothing wrong with his thought process. Most of these statements are phrased as questions. To say that listening to a different point of view makes you think, and more deeply evaluate the beliefs you hold is a great quality. If for no other reason that to know your emeny.

Well lets see 11:38:

When I was a child, my mom was the #1 mom in the world. She could do no wrong.

As an adult, I can now look back and realize the mistakes my mother made and learn from them. She's still #1 mom in my book, my wife is the only person that comes before her, yet I acknowledge that she is an imperfect human like the rest of us.

This is the type of common sense that seems to allude fools such as yourself (just as I'm sure the mom analogy did too). Idealogues like you have no facts or independent thought, just name calling.

1:16 You are still a child you try scold for name calling as you name call typical do as I say not as I do liberal. We don't any Marxism in our country we are the best country in the world because of Capitalism. Marxism Socialism has failed everywhere it has been tried!

5:08, notice I point out thatyou ONLY call names. That is your one and only point of attack.

Just take note that the freedoms afforded to us under this constitution are in place so that we CAN question the system. In fact, it is our DUTY to question the system. And we have the right to do so without fools like you trying to paint us as unpatriotic. You want a country where you are ridiculed and overtly harassed or worse for your opinions? Go join the Taliban.
