This is a flashback from a time in America when we faced a pivotal future.

We were warned:

America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter, and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselfs. ~ Abraham Lincoln

I most definitely do not feel that I live in a free country any more. We’ve lost that.

The Communist Manifesto represents a misguided philosophy, which teaches the citizens to
give up their RIGHTS for the sake of the “common good,” but it always ends in a police state.
This is called preventive justice. Control is the key concept. Read carefully:
1. Abolition of private property.
2. Heavy progressive income tax.
3. Abolition of all rights on inheritance.
4. Confiscation of property of all emigrants and rebels.
5. Central bank.
6. Government control of Communications & Transportation.
7. Government ownership of factories and agriculture.
8. Government control of labor.
9. Corporate farms, regional planning.
10. Government control of education.

America can either be America or a “refugee camp” for the freeloading and criminal garbage of the world. It can’t be both.

People keep labeling the form of government that threatens this nation, and has in fact infiltrated the economies of many nations of the world, as “socialist” or “communist”. There is no truly socialist or communist country, that is only a set of unkeepable promises in each case that have been preached, but never delivered. Each of the “utopias” that these systems claim is never achieved. It is always because the “right people” never seem to be in charge, and eventually, these systems decay into a militaristic command-and-control regime. In their hearts, the people of those countries that have succumbed to the false promises of “Equality” and “Fraternity”, and end up with neither, know something is gravely wrong.

That “something” is the demand that the suppression of teaching about a great Deity, once instituted, results in a diminution of all hope and incentive of individuals. And that suppression, denial of history and enforced conformity only result in a sullen obeisance, doing just enough to avoid punishment, or widespread incarceration of the ones who openly resist.

Command-and-control APPEARS to work, at least on the short term. But inducing fear and intimidation only works until someone raises their head, and asks “Why?”

This may result in a spark being lit in a box full of high explosive. The command-and-control regime must either snuff it quickly, or its course of events will destroy the regime. And just about everything else. Without a lesson book from history, the cycle is doomed to repeat, with a new command-and-control arising from the resulting anarchy.

Nonsense! America gives lotsa “free” things to those who don’t live here and those who are illegal aliens.

We are witnessing the Resurrection of the Third Reich here in the US.
