“Its better to be hated for what you are then to be loved for something your not.” André Gide (1869-1951); Author

It is impermissible under any circumstances for morals to sink as low as communism has done. No one can begin to imagine the tragedy of humanity, of morality, of religion and of freedoms in the land of communism, where man has been debased beyond belief
