"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.
We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream.
It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same,
or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children
and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."
President Ronald Reagan
Very similaro the Soviet Union.
Never give up on America and those true Americans who understand the cost of freedom.
Great article...
Consider her testimony and experience as a warning. And yes, the parallels being drawn are alarming, to say the least.
So many thing to comment on. But the above statement reminds me of Obamacare.
That plebiscite was about as free as the elections held in the old Soviet bloc.
“It seemed strange to me that our society changed so suddenly.”
How long has it taken here? Suddenly or not, it’s horrifying.
Read this on another thread and forgot to bookmark it, thanks!
That gave me chills. And only 5 years? That is NOT a very long time.
Progressives are fundamentally all the same. Mussolini, Hitler, Wilson, 0bama, Roosevelt (both of ‘em), Lenin—all are more or less on the same page with regard to the standing of the state vis-a-vis the individual. The only difference seems to be whether or not they had sufficient opportunity and excuse to engage in mass murder of their political opponents. I’m convinced the average Democrat today would absolutely be on board if they thought they wouldn’t get slaughtered in the attempt, thus the maniacal drive at removing even remotely combat effective weapons from civilian hands.
I just fnished reading a book titled, “Day of No return” by Kressmann Taylor. It was written in 1942, ad is based on the real life experiences of a young Lutheran seminarian who had to flee Germany in 1938 to save his life. I highly recomment it as reading for anyone who want to understand how the Nazis and Hitler were able to intimidate the German populace and eventually brainwash so many of them.
The plan to get control was to eliminate the religious opposition to Nazism and it’s pagan worship of the nordic gods, and their insistence that people worship Hitler as their Savior instead of Jesus Christ.
They harasssed Catholic priests and nuns and put them into concentration camps, but did not do a frontal assault on the RC Church because the Nazis feared that with such an international church, their diabolical plans would be exposed to the entire world. Instead they decided to divide and conquer the Lutheran Church in Germany. It was so bad that the Lutheran leaders eventually had to clandestinely develop an underground church which they called the
Confessional Church”. But with full force of a police state and the educational system, the voices od dissent were silenced to entirely underground.
This is a powerful account of the 1930’s in Germany. It is inspirational as well as depressing. It demonstrates the strength of a strong faith when facing a demonic cultlike government. OTOH, it clearly shows how any attempt to retain one’s faith and culture can be fruitless when your enemies control all the physical power of an army, and they are filled with hate and an absence of any human dignity.
“Don’t let freedom slip away.
“After America, there is no place to go.”
Kitty Werthmann Kitty, we are losing our FREEDOMS.
An amazing troubling 1st hand account of Hitler's rise to power.
Sounds like Obama way...
Similarities today?
Yes!!
this should be required reading for all school kids, once a year
terrific piece... thanks.
Changes in schools have been taking place since the initial election of Obama.
Shameless… Obama’s Celebratory Obamacare Statement Is Chock Full of Lies
Frightening similarities to today.
