Did Red China disappear last night?
While most here on FR certainly don't fit into his description, a majority of Americans do. That number is growing every day. How many times have we heard someone say, "I don't want to post on the internet because the gov't may be watching", or "I don't want to call Washington, because I might get audited", or "I don't want to complain because I will get singled out".
Sadly, most Americans seem to have adopted the pathetic mindset of a slave. They are totally submissive to the many abuses by our corrupt government. I would even venture to say that most Americans don't understand the evils of communism, nor the basics of individual Rights. They do not understand the reason this nation was founded, which was for the solitary reason of protecting our Rights as Free men. Listening to politicians of both parties only confirms this observation.
So I pose the follwing question: did we really prevail in the war against communism?
Above this race of men stands an immense and tutelary power, which takes upon itself alone to secure their gratifications and to watch over their fate. That power is absolute, minute, regular, provident, and mild. It would be like the authority of a parent if, like that authority, its object was to prepare men for manhood; but it seeks, on the contrary, to keep them in perpetual childhood: it is well content that the people should rejoice, provided they think of nothing but rejoicing. For their happiness such a government willingly labors, but it chooses to be the sole agent and the only arbiter of that happiness; it provides for their security, foresees and supplies their necessities, facilitates their pleasures, manages their principal concerns, directs their industry, regulates the descent of property, and subdivides their inheritances: what remains, but to spare them all the care of thinking and all the trouble of living?
No.
At this point, an American victory over communism is impossible... because America is becoming communist herself. The political campaigns and elections are merely a shell game that satiate the masses into believing they do matter. In reality, there isn't a "two-party" system: there is one party that can/will do whatever is required to stay in power. Up to and including destroying the lives of those who dare question "the way things are". No one who could pose a serious threat is allowed in "the game".
America is now in the final throes of the Soviet Union's fate: stagnation, augmented by the leaders' taking whatever steps they deem necessary to hold onto power, even as that power slips their grasp. An increasing denial that individuals have rights as the state takes unto itself... until the system collapses upon its own weight.
America is dead. She's on a ventilator and only an act of God will resurrect her to vigor. Otherwise, it may be a greater mercy to pull the plug on her.

How could we even think of winning over commuism when our Bolshevik media is broadcasting a woman urinating on a man's leg (Survivor)?
Why do I call them Bolsheviks, and not communits? The reason is that the Whites during the Revolution (and after) always said that Bolsheviks do not understand the difference between right and wrong. Take a close look at the Bolsheviks in our media, and a large majority of followers.
We really don't want it to come to that. So how do you fight them in the propaganda war? Simple, you expose them for what they are. Remind the people exactly who wants to put more control over them.If Al Gore runs again, we must remind the public who started the PMRC to censor Rock. Ask minorities which is more racist, expecting you to be able to support yourself or patronizing you in order to get your voice. We must remind the people of every time the left has taken individual choice out of their hands.
People, this is far from over. I believe freedom will always win out over tyranny. They tried to steal in election in 2000 and we wouldn't let them, we're sure the hell not going to let them steal this country.
You are right on. 63% say they are willing to give up freedom/privacy to stop terrorism. Those that support the p.a.t.r.i.o.t. act ( I call it the Gestapo Law) do not answer me when I ask why do we need new laws when the devils of 9/11 violated laws against murder, laws against hostage taking, laws against hijacking, against theft and destruction of property. They crossed State lines which brought the crimes under Federal jurisdiction.
IMO, these laws are there for a future America and are just another broadside of the New World Order, but, what the hey, I wear tin foil hats so what do I know. The real danger is how this law is applied in the future when the likes of clintons and their ilk obtain power, and they will
Here's my reply to that 63% which gets me flamed no end
In the name of security
The patriot act sticks in my craw
because it’s really a Gestapo Law
now the FBI gets more powers
to spy on us for 24 hours
In the name of security
Let’s not forget history
of what happened in Germany
the majority went along
gathered together in throngs
embracing all the wrongs
In the name of security
Cameras here, cameras there
cameras everywhere
on the corners, in the mall
as our freedoms fall
attached to traffic lights
losing our privacy rights
In the name of security
Soon we’ll get ID cards
as they build more prison yards
they want us to watch the other guy
an entire nation to spy
In the name of security
Giving power to strangers,
to people we don’t know
presents future dangers
as their power continues to grow
In the name of security
Ben Franklin said it best
want to be like all the rest?
trade liberty for security
then, only those in power will be free
In the name of security
Some will say I’m paranoid
just making a lot of noise
don’t forget the FBI files
some of us are still riled
Justification has begun
we must keep terrorists on the run
in the name of security
you must give up your privacy
Give it up for security

We gave control of our children (andtheir minds)to publik skools
despite internet websites, talk radio, Fox News, Conservatve newsletters and magazines, etc., the media still remains hopelessly liberal and influences far too many Americans.
There are entire segments of society (racial,class,political affilliation, age) LOST FOREVER to the appeal of government handouts and false hopes of 'equality' and advancement.
Political Correctness (created by Communists) has, like a malignant cancer, spread so far into the inner workings of our daily lives, it would kill the host if it were extracted.
Our universities, which are supposed to prepare our best and brightest, have turned into little more than sleep-over indoctrination camps. It would take one hundred years (beginning today) to reverse the liberal/socialist/communist influence, if an all out effort was initiated. Which will NEVER happen.
The American have become dumbed down to the point of hopelessness. Every day our rights, freedoms, and even past times are being taken away from us--with no resistance. Schools are banning dodge ball, and Indian mascots. Cigarette taxes are pushing a pack up to 6 dollars, with no public outcry. Junk food is next. Then it will be bullets, pornography, designer clothing, cable, high speed internet access, sporting equipment, additional cars/trucks/SUVs per household, cell phones, in-car entertainment, etc.
The steps we took (or should I say empty gestures)after September 11th proved to the more observant of us (friend and foe alike)that America likely died years ago. But like a runaway train travelling full-speed ahead down the track, it takes a while to come to a complete stop, even after running out of fuel.
But collectivism has seen itself roundly defeated over and over again in this century, so we have plenty to be proud of. If it is true that communism didn't die when the Berlin Wall fell, that the collectivist center of gravity has shifted to Brussels, and the American universities, it is nonetheless true that the Soviets are gone. Eastern Europe is, more or less, free. Russia is still in play, but the story there isn't all bad.
And the new battlefield is well defined, as several have pointed out in this string.
1. We have to take back the school system; we can not leave it in the hands of people who despise us.
2. We have to revive the 10th ammendment, to bring the bureaucracies closer to the people they purportedly serve, if they are not disbanded entirely.
3. We have to fight another civil rights struggle, or rather, to finish the earlier one, this time leaving us with a legal system that is truly color-blind, purified of the racial con-artists who forever try to game the system.
4. We need to develop our media organs. Fox News is only great in comparison to the others, but it is still too self-consciously bi-partisan, rather than being simply objective. Radio talk shows are great, the internet is great, but after building from the fringes, we need to find a way to take center stage. Articulate truth and stop apologizing for it.
Its frustrating when you realize that out of a quarter of a billion people, the last election came down to a few dozen vote margin in Florida. But for the integrity of a Black, Democrat judge in central Florida, who refused to throw out Republican votes, and but for the tenacity of Repub dweebs in Miami who refused to sit still for fraud, and except for the razor thin support of the US Supreme Court, the election would have gone the other way.
We know where the battlefields are. We know at least half the country is against us, but half the country is with us. We have seen worse odds.
No, actually we have lost the struggle that has been going on against the com for all these years. Communist dupes and sympathisers hold the majority of policital offices in this nation an they maintain a 95% majority of teaching positions in all the universities and law schools.
They beat us without firing a shot is what gets me the most. Americans didn't even put up a good fight.
