There is just no way to describe this without a smirk and a chuckle. When you read how some of New York’s Russian immigrants (who know Soviet-style Communism all-too-well) are aligning with Republicans—because they view Democrats’ policies to be too similar to the failed policies of their homeland—there is just something richly ironic there. However, when you read how their never-met-a-Marxist-she-didn’t-love Democrat legislator reacts to be having her party compared to Soviet Russia, now that is just over-the-top funny:

 

Businessman Arkadiy Fridman said that the newly formed Citizens Magazine Business Club, a confederation of more than 50 Russian-owned businesses here and in Brooklyn, has aligned itself with the Molinari Republican Club (MRC) in an effort to increase the Russian community’s political and economic clout.

CLOSE TO OWN VISION

“We decided we had to support this club,” said Fridman, a former Soviet Army officer who came to the United States in 1992. “They are very close to our political and business vision.”

Fridman said that the Democrats “are going in an absolutely different direction,” focusing on “income redistribution” and rich-versus-poor “class war.”

“It’s too socialistic,” said Fridman, head of the non-profit Staten Island Community Center and president of Citizens Magazine, a public affairs publication. “It’s very painful for us to see.”

And, if that weren’t bad enough, the Democrats’ are reminding the Russian immigrants of something they thought they left behind:

The Big Brother approach reminds Fridman too much of what he left behind in the former Soviet Union.

“It’s the same rule like it was there,” said Fridman, who estimates there are around 55,000 Russian immigrants here.

Michael Petrov of the Digital Edge data management firm in Bloomfield, said that he objects to the “micro-managing of the economy” he’s seen from city as well as federal officials.

“Government is affecting small business more and more,” said Petrov, who came to the United States in 1994. “It’s the same as what’s happening in Russia.”

The Russian immigrants seem to know the path the Democratic Party is leading the nation down far better than many Democrats, which is why it seems the GOP is a better fit for the Russians.

Of course, the danger of being exposed is not lost on their Marxist legislator, union-boss-turned-Democrat-politician, State Sen. Diane Savino (D-North Shore/Brooklyn), who just seems to cringe at the thought of being exposed and being labeled either a Socialist or a Communist:

State Sen. Diane Savino (D-North Shore/Brooklyn) said she understands the Russian aversion to anything that looks like big government, but thinks the criticism of the Democratic Party is off-base.

“You can’t ignore the fact that the Russian population here came of age during the Soviet era,” said Ms. Savino, who counts many Russians among her Brooklyn constituents.

“They have different thoughts on what communism and socialism mean. They are a little more sensitive to it.

“But, that being said,” she added, “you can’t compare the policies of the Democratic Party with communism. It’s absurd.”

Ummm. Does Yes We Can! fit here?

These Russian immigrants have some credibility to comment on what they see with regard to the policy and direction of the Obama Administration and progressives in Congress........

To be fair to other country men of the Eastern block countries under Soviet dictatorship. Most of them living now in North America are picking up GOP, or Conservatives in Canada. It is true, that those people see how the democracy is being destroyed. In 40 years in Canada I never did see step toward more freedom. Only less. The downward trend is moving exponentially faster. All started by Premier Trudeau in late sixties in opening the gates to unskilled immigration from third word countries. There is serious believe that he was under Soviet control. According to Mr. Zink writing the possibility is more yes, than no. For the interest, if you want to know more of Modus Operandi of the communist Soviet Union I do recommend to read Sudoplatov "Special Tasks"

It has been my hope, that people who have actually lived somewhere else, will see this and stand with us. 

Unfortunately our citizens who have never lived anywhere else ,or had any other way of life,  think that the USA is indestructable.   A sad truth,, most young people do not watch the news or otherwise keep up with what is really going on.  If we reach them , it will have to be in their medium.  I think that is why they are so determined to control the internet.

When you have a takeover of your government,, can they ever be voted out?    Look at Iran.

Whether the Democratic Socialist Party wants to believe it or not, that's exactly what they now are, and where they're trying to drag this nation; those who lived under that oppression and then escaped it and got here, saw something different in this nation, that's now being snatched away from them; something they WANTED to come here for; and don't want to lose, to fall back under that nightmare.  Even as a kid, I remember seeing tape delay news of Stalin's funeral, and being puzzled by how the people were behaving, when I'd heard about his brutality toward them; but when I grew up and learned to understand the psychology of abuse, and how victims react, what I saw there, all those decades ago made sense to me; an ENTIRE nation full of people who had been brutally abused by that man!  I don't want that to happen here!

[Darrell Russell]

The Democratic party is not looking out for any one but them selves in the long run. They will through a bone to the masses on occasion to keep their following happy.

But there real agenda is to get a one party rule  and in 2008 an individual was elected as president and the progressives went wild. Know they have the leadership (or should I say mouth piece) to put in place much of the progressive agenda. Health Care is the centerpiece and next comes Cap and Trade then amnisty for illegal aliens.

As soon as the mechanisms are fully in place or almost fully in place(90%) there will be a call to the organized mass to carry out the dirty work to cover their tracks as to the real agenda. You may have speculation and justly so, these people that lead this movement are interested in only one thing and that is power and control.

This next election cycle will be a tough one too obtain. As the time draws near there will be more and more unrest with the public sector unions and the special intrest organizations, this is by design. Obama will then declare martial law under the guise of protecting the nation but it will be the elimination of this great nation.

 

If you enjoyed this short story then tune in next week for another episode.

I enjoyed the short story Darrell.......however, we need to keep in mind the progressives/liberals are not a "Democratic" party.....they are the "democrat" party.  And believe it or not, not all democrats subscribe to the progressive/liberal approach of the democrat party.  Many democrats are "conservative".  Now......you ask why are they still democrats?   I don't know beyond the proposition that Dad, Granddad, Great-Granddad was a democrat and it leads on down the line....the leadership of the democrat party is the problem, citizen democrats are dying in defense of our nation, nearly on a daily basis.

I hope PFA has members of the democrat, republican, independent, constitution, no party, et al...all focused on constitutional restoration, moral principles, and Founding Father vision.

Russian immigrants know well the story of tyranny, dictator, survival..........
