    US presidential candidate Ben Carson, toward the end of Saturday's CBS Republican presidential debate, proudly repeated fake Stalin quote:

    "Joseph Stalin said if you want to bring America down, you have to undermine three things: our spiritual life, our patriotism and our morality," Carson said.

    But, as it turns out, Stalin have never said that.

    Well,if there is such a crap in heads of American elite,think what is in heads of common Americans! :roflol:

    Well his Republican supporters yes, spiritual life meaning the ability of organised religion to control the people, patriotism read nationalism or the US is always the good guy out destroying the evil and on Stalin saying that on morality - that stretches all imagination as the US tends to be seen as very free on that.

    The US of course was moving away from conventional religion which was not interested in politics until the neo cons developed their plan for dealing with liberal democracy, get the people interested in religion and religion interested in politics, not them of course they were above it, and for the patriotism they very definitely spoke of developing an American Nationalism which would be in perpetual war with the evil people of the world with them always being the good guys. Looks like Carson has taken another of those, the 'Noble Lies' which the neo cons could see as necessary to get the people to agree to what only they, the elite, could understand was necessary.

    The genocidal murderer son of Satan aka Stalin was not a deep thinker to have come up with such a quote. Amazing that son of Satan once studied in a Russian Orthodox seminary to become a "Russian" Orthodox priest. Does not say much for the so called religion of Russian "Orthodoxy" does it!!

    It was paraphrased from this Stalin Quote

    America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within.
    -Josef Stalin

    which can be found on many sites specializing in famous peoples quotes

    now if you want to make the claim Stalin didn't make that quote fine but faulting Carson for using it or making it up is dishonest and just an subliminal racist attack because a conservative black man is a treat to liberals

    It's time for this charlatan to drop out of the Presidential race.
