When you compare here and now with 1917 Russia, don’t forget that Russia didn’t go Communist without a Civil War.

True, but the actual takeover by the Bolsheviks (5% or less of the population) prior to the civil war was quite easy

Correct, Russia didn’t go Communist w/o a civil war. And I’ve never thought we’d be this close. The culture war being waged by both sides is sick - but I defend that the liberal progressives fired the first shot. They’re screaming racism on us and their white liberal members are calling conservatives racists and screaming how stupid we all are. Red states v. blue states.

Yet, it seems that in 2008, a majority of Americans seem willing to go that same way without firing a shot....

Look how far we have come!
