Communism may have fallen in Russia, but Idaho state Rep. Curtis Bowers seems to think it got the last laugh here in the United States.

His piece in Wednesday's Idaho Press-Tribune begins with a recollection of a 1992 Communist Party USA meeting Bowers attended, which apparently gave him a good look into the left's proverbial "agenda":

Our first woman presidential candidate talks about how degrading it is to be a stay-at-home mom. Businesses are closing down or moving daily to other countries because environmental regulations are too excessive to make a profit. And legislation is being considered in Washington, D.C. that makes it a crime to discuss in public any opposition to the homosexual lifestyle.

The proposal would give homosexual couples the same civil and inheritance rights as heterosexual couples. However, it does not mention gay marriage, because a change of that magnitude would require a lengthy process of reforming the constitution, which was last amended in 1992.

While certainly gay marriage's ideal, activists assert Cuba's not ready for such a cultural shift.
