1950s film “How To Spot a Communist”

Back in the day when communists weren’t mainstream politicians, news reporters, teachers, etc., they made films like this because they were as scarce as hen’s teeth, skulking in the shadows.

Now I have trouble swinging a dead cat without hitting a commie. (This clip has apparently caused me to start using 1950s sayings.)

  1. When Flannery O’Connor was asked why Southern writers write about freaks, she responded that Southerners were still able to recognize them.

    Sadly, America has un-learned the instinct for survival – we no longer recognize freaks, communists, socialists, izlamists, illegal invading foreign rat-people, or any of the other myriad dangers to our tenuous civilization.

  2. Geoff, O’Connor is a great one. I have found Walter Wangerin Jr. a good one too… Miz Lil and the Chronicles of Grace and Ragman are permanent additions to my library. Mourning into Dancing is going to be there too when I finish it. May God bless.

  3. “How To Spot a Communist”
    Today it’s even easier. Just turn on MSNBC any time or any of the Alphabets on Sunday morning!
    I used to listen to Soviet propaganda back in the 70s and I swear I’m hearing similar things from our so-called “media” today!!

  4. Yes, America IS being progressively propagandized while so many (think of the unemployed while their TV’s are on 24/7 drink up on “how” to think toward matters.
    Willing slaves, who’ll quickly throw rocks at anyone who dares to think outside of their heinous unsubstantiated plantation.

  5. I haven’t read any Walter Wangerin yet, I’m going to have to look into that. Another good author is a Catholic Canadian named Michael D. O’Brien who wrote Sophia House, (Sophia House is about a Polish man who rescues a young Jewish man and saves him from the Nazi’s set in Warsaw during World War 2), The Father’s Tale etc. The Father’s tale is a very long book well over 1000 pages but worth reading. It’s a modern day retelling of The Prodigal Son and The Good Samaritan.

  6. Hey Larry study a bit of history before you troll here. The KKK was a branch of the southern Democrats. Bull Connor? Democrat. Robert Byrd, Grand Klegal of KKK a Democrat. Jim Crow laws yup all written by Democrats. Who led the civil rights movement, check the congressional record. Oh I forgot, liberals don’t read history. They just spew ignorance they here from the leftists media’s talking points… Dumb ass…
