“Now, many of you on the right poo-pooed me before and during the election regarding the company 0bama kept and his many nefarious connections with radicals. I hope you won’t make the same mistake again.”
They will. Many of the posters here in FR land are in the process of stuffing their collective heads in the sand - I think it is mostly because they are too young to remember/know what this country used to be like. What they think they know about those times comes from the telly and the movies.
Too many others are busy touting their machismo and testosterone. They won’t “hear” the warnings until what they fear is walking in their bedroom doors at 3 AM. Then, like Rambo or some other superhero they will spring into action - they imagine.
They refuse to repeat the mantra by which all wars are won: planning, logistics and communication.
Makes me very sad.
“Makes me very sad.”
Me too, PIF.
I was raised by my grandparents (grandfather was a WWII vet) and around a few Russians in the midwest.
If this isn’t the communist takeover that they’ve been working on for decades, then communism never existed.
And that’s just the way people act, as if communism is just legend, or some kind of dark fairy tale.
Hell, Pol Pot was murdering millions in the 70’s. It wasn’t that long ago, folks.
There are untold horrors happening in China, right this very second. “But those people had a great opening show for the Olympics, and they made my computer, and my cell phone, they can’t be all that bad, can they?”
Communism is still with us, and it is still trying to murder you and your families.
I feel like I’m falling sometimes when I look around at what is happening to this country. It appears to go unnoticed by Americans, for the most part.
I guess, like you say, until it awakens them at 3am with the sound of cartridge being loaded into the chamber, they won’t bother opening their eyes.
We’ll see.
They know not what they do.
