My response to the MSNBC Grapevine reporter Kelly Lincoln and Daily Kos. Do your homework before making accusations!
Posted on | April 23, 2012 | 4 Comments
I got an e-mail letter from MSNBC reporter Kelly Lincoln. She accused me of lying. She said that it was impossible for a person in Moldova to be living in a shack, when her parents are teachers. So, she concluded that I was lying, that either my parents were not teachers or I did not live in a shack. Her letter was republished in another far left publication called Daily Kos.
I have news for you Kelly. That is why I am fighting so hard. You, liberals and communists, do not understand the extent of the nightmare that Marxist policies of Obama can unleash and are unleashing on this country.
In the Soviet Union, where I lived as a child, science teachers lived in the same poor conditions and got the same minimal salaries as the factory workers. Do you remember the slogans: everyone is equal (of course the Communist bosses, just like Orwellian pigs, are more equal then others).
Actually just a couple of years ago I made a present for my parents for their golden wedding anniversary, a trip to the old country. We went with my parents and 2 of my three sons. One had to study and couldn’t go. We visited the place, where we used to live, when I was a child. It was on the corner of Ilinskaya and Kuprianovskaya in Kischinev, across Ilinskii farmers market. While a particular shack where we lived is currently demolished, a number of similar shacks are still there and can be visited. There should be records in the city hall as well. The shacks indeed are heated with stoves. I don’t know if they have heated water now, but at the time they had only cold running water, some did not even have bathrooms and used outhouses and many lived in one room shacks.
Only when I was about 7 years old and when my grandfather passed away, we could do an exchange. As all the housing was owned by the state, we could not buy or sell an apartment, but we could exchange. We exchanged 2 apartments for a one in a new 5 story apartment building, similar to projects in the US, where for a number of years 5 of us lived in a 2 bedroom apartment: my grandmother, my parents, my brother and I. I did not have a bedroom of my own, I did my homework in the living room and I slept on the couch in the living room. The whole apartment was 40 sq meters, it is about 400 sq.ft for a family of 5.
So, you see Kelly, when there is redistribution of wealth, nobody has any incentive to work, there is a shortage of housing, shortage in food supplies, shortage in medical supplies, in everything.
Stop and think: do you really want it here? Do you want this future for your family, for your children and grandchildren? I don’t want it for my family.
As a matter of fact, here is a challenge for all of the left wing Obama supporters on MSNBC, Daily Kos, Grapevine and so on. If you are willing to pay for the expenses, after the primary, when i’ll have some free time, I will be happy to take you all on a trip to Moldova and show you how people lived during the Soviet Socialist republic rule and you might rethink, whether you want to continue supporting Obama and his redistribution of wealth policies.

Thank you so much for sharing your story. It really touched my heart especially the question you asked the reporter from MSNBC: “Stop and think: do you really want it here? Do you want this future for your family, for your children and grandchildren? I don’t want it for my family.” Much of the American population are blinded by apathy and have an entitlement mentality. We are going to lose the election in November unless enough Americans wake up an realize just where this country is headed. Please keep up the good work and don’t be discouraged. Somewhere out there is an honest judge who will look at the facts and judge them on their merit. You are in our prayers every morning.

Dear Orly,
It doesn’t surprise me in the least that MSNBC reporter Kelly Lincoln and, in turn, the Daily Kos, having never lived under Communism as you did as a child, would lie about how you lived as child in their attempt to obfuscate the obvious. Attacking the messenger of truth because they can’t handle, much less refute, the truth is, after all, the modus-operandi of liberals/progressives.
Moreover, the reason liberals/progressives will continue supporting Obama is because they believe in Communism, Socialism and/or Marxism. Of course, since none of them have ever lived under any such form of government they have absolutely no personal experience with that which they support.
In 1964 I was living and working in Munich West Germany as a dependant of a career U.S. Army man when an older female cousin of mine spent a week with us (in Munich) on her way back to America after having spent a month in Russia, an all-expenses paid trip she received from Radcliff College (a female only subsidiary of Harvard University in Cambridge MA) upon graduating Summa Cum Laude. How well I still recall her telling us about how amazed she was that the police in Moscow’s Red Square confiscated her camera and interrogated her after they noticed she was taking pictures. How well I also recall asking her “What did you expect in a Communist country?” and her befuddled/somber facial expression upon realizing that her expensive liberal education at an elite Ivy League college had not been as educational as she believed.
A 21yo liberal/progressive nephew of mine who is graduating from (liberal) American University in (liberal) Washingon DC this coming June with a degree in “International Politics” has, on more than one occassion, corrected my opinions about the Vietnam War.
God Bless you Orly.
