I hope you are right - there is definitely an undercurrent there that’s not readily apparent on the surface. Deep down I think more people than would care to admit would readily fight for this country if a threat they recognized came through. The Soviets are being pretty clear now about where they stand, and the only ones that will eventually be still speaking against them will be your hard-core commie agitators, IMHO.

I know the left vaunts Maslow's Heirarchy of Needs; but I've always found the model to be valid and constructive. When the left or right in this country perceive they may be reduced from their high level to that of subsistence level, they awaken. They fight. Democrats trend primarily to focus on that particular model in re domestic issues; Republicans trend primarily to focus on that particular model in re international issues. Democrats focus on "internal" threats; Repubs on "external" threats.

Bottomline, is both sides, and all in between are kept quite "aware" of "threat" issues (hunger, racism, poverty, etc. etc.) and the means by which to fight threats.

The Soviets are being pretty clear now about where they stand, and the only ones that will eventually be still speaking against them will be your hard-core commie agitators, IMHO.

I'm going to presume here that you mean the only ones that will eventually be still speaking FOR the aggressors, will be the hard-core commie agitators. Correct me if I've misunderstood, pls. If I haven't, I couldn't agree more with you.

America has done a very good job, IMHO, of exposing external threats to the wellbeing of our country. What the Bear has done is reveal the sharp outline of the blade. Americans, whether in their dreams at night, or running backbrain during the day, perceive the threat. They are going to have to choose. Each individual, is going to have to choose. Whether to live under the boot (appeasement); or to fight for liberty. Russia has clearly advanced the clarity, in its recent moves; that which had been lightly "camouflaged" by the standard he said/she said forms of newsreporting of our age.

And in this manner, might we see our domestic enemies and traitors more clearly.
