The "Naked Capitalist" is an excellant anti-communist read, in the body of a critique of socialist Dr. Carroll Quigley's book, "Tragedy and Hope". I might add, at this point, that none other than Bill Clinton, who many believe to be the first godless president of the U.S., was quoted as saying, "Dr. Quigley was right", meaning, in my opinion, that eventually socialism would rule the world, and nothing can be done to stop it. In that quote, Clinton sounded a lot more like Khrushchev than a U.S. citizen.

Much of what Skousen wrote in "The Naked Capitalist" has been proven to be correct, especially in the last few decades, with the explosion of knowledge on the internet, studies, freedom of information requests, Venona Files releases, KGB file releases ,etc., etc. The "split" in the Right, that you refer to, in my opinion, is a split that has been around from the beginning of time, in all political parties, in all nations.............it is the split between those who believe that the God who created us knows best and those who believe that they are smarter that God. Quigley's book was favorable to those who believe that they are smarter than God, in other words, socialism.

Religious dictatorships, socialist democracies, secular dictatorships, etc., believe that they know better than God, and seek to force everyone to march to their tunes. In America, however, we still have a God inspired constitution, and a representative form of government, where the people have a strong voice in what kind of government (local, state and federal) that we will have.

There are forces - quazi-religious, military, monetary, political, educational, etc., that would love to see our God inspired form of government fall to the wayside...............Skousen pointed this out in "The Naked Communist", in "The Naked Capitalist", and, also, in other worthwhile work(s) of his.

Skousen, was, without a doubt, a patriot, a leader, and a force for good in America and beyond. Were it that we all could reach such a level of dedication and be as prolific in our own work(s)

If anything, Skousen's work and works have been a strength to the Right in the long, hard struggle with the socialist Left, in all of it's ugly, disgusting forms.

Think about this.........The only thing keeping the world from total, brutal dictatorship is America............The only thing keeping America from going socialist is a large group of americans, with memberships in different political parties, who believe that the God who created us knows best, and that if we continue to model our form of government after his laws, we will be successful.

America is the greatest, richest, strongest, most giving country ever in the history of this earth. 95% of us believe there is a God, and the greatest majority of the 95%, myself included, believe there is a Christ. All of this greatness didn't happen by chance..........blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.

W. Cleon Skousen.....rest in peace......your deserve it.

Ran across this (see URL below) today, for anyone interested in Skousen's work , and a little more background on his life.........also, be mindful that the big liberal media, in many various forms, has attacked John Birchers, Ronald Reagan, anti-communists, George Bush, conservatives, religious folks, pro-lifers, 2nd ammendment defenders, etc., etc., for decades, with no end in sight.

The beautiful part of this now is.............people are able to get more than just one side of the story(s), if they have the energy and the desire to do so..........from the radio, the internet, books, magazines, TV and such. The liberal left no longer has near-absolute control of what you see, hear and read..........thanks to pioneers like W. Cleon Skousen.
