WhiskeyX, I have absolutely no doubt that your statements about the long term insidious growth of communism in America are true and that too few people recognize it. Typical Americans that did recognize it had no way of combating it except on a personal level by home schooling their children, for example.
Communists and socialists began their dirty work at least as far back as the late 1920s. They went after education, particularly schools of journalism, early on and spread every where else in society.
We have a large library of books on the topic as this is one of hubby’s pet peeves. He’s a fierce conservative and proponent of the constitution and even had some intelligence involvement for the RCMP back before Trudeau emasculated them. (He had dual citizenship, actually he had a third at one time as well due to parentage and other issues.)
I can’t argue with what you say and I thank you for your response, but I can’t quite believe that is the sole cause of the widespread passivity we are seeing. Everyone in government who has the power to do something about it has opted out, fiddling while Rome burns.
While I have little respect left for the crew in Washington, it is still hard to believe there aren’t a few Republicans who have the will to stop these people when there is obviously a way. After all, they are watching their party being permanently marginalized. Are they in shock or are they in cahoots? If the latter, why?
Rather than just give my opinion, I’ve been showing your questions to some political and journalist acquaintances to get their reactions. I’ll be sending you a post on this matter when it’s finished.
