Democide.

Some 5,000 whites and blacks were lynched in the United States between roughly 1865 and 1940. What proportion of these represented cases that the authorities aided, abetted, instigated, or knew about and winked at, the Colonel does not know off hand. It is certain that these killings did not take place pursuant to some kind of official proceedings.

If Alexandr Solzhenitsyn's estimate of 60,000,000 murdered by official Soviet government action is accurate, the Soviet toll mounted at a rate of 2,364 killings a day for the 73 years of its life. This daily figure does not take into account the years before 1990 in which the concentration camps had been dismantled and the Terror much diminished.

The lynchmen in the U.S. racked up a toll equal to only 50 hours over a 73-year period of what the Soviets did pursuant to their unfettered intellects and moral principles.

The story is the same everywhere that government power is absolute. Thus, people who value their freedom and their very lives have an obligation to do more than engage in empty celebrations of independence from foreign powers. Like the members of the mosque cited below in this blob under "Culture not deviation" if we are going to content ourselves with bread and circuses and harangues about our women in bathing suits national themes [e.g., nadagate, Who'sthebiggtestputz, The Aruba Triangle, the horrors of profiling] we'll find we handed off an irretrievable chunk of power to the feds.

True safety from government fanaticism is in limiting and defining the powers of government at all levels. Americans are illiterates when it comes to understanding the interplay of Article I, sect. 8, the Commerce Clause, the Tenth Amendment, and the great disaster that the direct election of senators proved to be, among other things.

This horrible graphic is based on hard facts.

This much on the site is garbage, however:

In the Vietnam War the United States murdered through indiscriminate bombing/shelling in South Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia about 68,500 people.

The Colonel knows for a fact that that pilots and ground troops were aware of and obedient to the rules of engagement.
