Rodong Sinmun on Pride and Optimism of Korean People
2003-08-01
Pyongyang, KCNA — The Korean people consider it their greatest pride and honor to live and do revolution in the best socialist country and are making their way through difficulties and ordeals with a smile, full of hope for the future, says Rodong Sinmun today in a signed article.
"Happy, happy! Joy, joy!"
Stating that the socialist system of the DPRK is the cradle and site of life guaranteeing the eternal future of the Korean people, the article continues: The steel-like single-hearted unity of the army and people closely united around the great leader with one idea and will and the same sense of moral obligation has hardened a thousand times the deep faith of the Korean people in their cause and might and inspired them with renewed conviction of victory and optimism.
"We're number... ummm... wan!"
The invincible single-hearted unity of the party, the army and people which can not be destroyed even by any nuclear weapon instills into them the undaunted gut and self-confidence never to forgive anyone who dare provoke the DPRK, and the formidable fighting spirit and passion to take ten, nay a hundred steps while others take one, and the unbreakable will to remove huge mountains at a breath.
"Soon's we can find something to eat..."
It is the unshakable faith and will of the Korean people that no difficulty is to be afraid of and a bright future is in store for them when they are single-heartedly united. Single-hearted unity is the source of might instilling into the hearts of the Korean people the firm conviction of the future. It is the pride and honor of the Korean people to live and do revolution under the best socialist system, with the whole country forming one large family.
"Mom, can I have some grass?"
The Korean people devote their noble sincerity and conscience to the homeland, envisioning the future of a prosperous motherland, as they are optimistic about the future in the harmonious socialist family. A great prosperous powerful nation is our ideal and future. The great prosperous powerful country of Juche we are building is a country which will be the most dignified in the world and will always prosper and in which the independent life and happiness of the popular masses will be in full bloom, not simply a country where people are fed and clad well.
"I mean, what's that count for? 'S nothing, next to juche!"
The Korean people are living and struggling, full of the spirit of victors, looking ahead to the bright future of a great prosperous and powerful nation built with the might of the Songun policy.

#4   I can only think that Rodong has been cookin' up some good ones these last couple of weeks.

And every mother in NKor is counting her children, to see who's missing.

#3  Never trust the NorKs. They've just agreed to multilateral talks, so this is just vanilla coating; no Sea of Fire™, no merciless chastisement. When they scuttle the talks in mid-stream (and there is no doubt they will) they will blame it all on the Evil Amurkins and return to the KCNA spittle rants we have come to enjoy. I can only think that Rodong has been cookin' up some good ones these last couple of weeks.

#2  *holds up card* 6.0. I am not a professional judge, but I do play one on Rantgurg er Rantburg, so here goes: They have the uplifting language, the moving mountains with spirit thing, standing up to Nukes, a mention of Juche, got Songun policy in there, but something is missing: There is not that fire and brimstone language, no screaming and spittle, nothing on the American Imperialist Hegemons wanting to dominate Nork under their jackboot, that kind of thing. It is like it has been put first into an autoclave before it was distributed. Kinda sterilized.

#1  Reminds me of Comical Ali. By the way, why aren't South Koreans immigrating to the North by the millions? Must be those U.S. troops holding them back.
