Saw this on Facebook this morning. The video is part of series apparently put out by Harding University at the start of the Cold War warning about the dangers of "isms". Too bad we've swung so far the other way. Way too many have drunk from the bottle and seem to like the taste. See for yourself.

Alright Joplin Globe, I've had about enough of the kool-aide drinking Gene Lyons and his supposed educated insights into what's right with the Democrats and what's wrong with everyone else. His latest tyrade is about how the peers of Michael Mann concluded that he hadn't manufactured global warmi...
