Very timely and much needed, Jim. Please add me to ping list.
At some point we’re going to have to include a longer range perspective. As a starter, those interested might review the communist’s objectives (particularly #15 and above), as read into the congressional record in 1963. With only a few additions and minor changes this list could equally well have been drawn up by Islamists. The left has been been enormously successful in achieving these objectives and it will take long range planning and action to undo them. The list can be seen at http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/962461/posts
It seems to me that most of the 45 items on that list have been accomplished now and accepted as normal by most Americans. Accomplished not by Russian style communism, but by American style liberalism/socialism/communism all wrapped up in four words, the liberal Democrat Party.
The only major item I see missing from the list is prohibition of privately owned firearms. And with Obama and a Democrat Congress in almost total control of the government for at least the next 2 years, that missing item is guaranteed to be added to their "to do" list and given a higher priority than ever before.
