...it's what's behind our *real* strength & longevity. I wonder what deToqueville would have to allow about America today????? Have we ceased to be good yet, or are we still hanging on by our fingernails?

Time is definitely on our side. With every day that goes by, with every technological advancement, communism becomes more and more of an anachronism. They're struggling to remain relevant but they are increasingly useless.
Sure, they may yet take over a few third world countries where the level of technology and social conditions are the equivalent of the early 20th century, but once they Cuba-ize those nations, they'll be cast out... Just like Hugo Chavez will be.
In our country, give it 40 years or so. All the hippy-dippy, drug-addled, SDS baby-boomers will be residing comfortably with Tim Leary and Ira Einhorn in hell and their weak-minded progeny will lack the drive and intelligence to carry on their work undermining the universities, churches, and institutions of America. We will have our country back. We just have to be vigilent, pick our fights carefully, and make sure we win when we fight. God bless America! Death to Communism!

"Have we ceased to be good yet, or are we still hanging on by our fingernails?"HA!!
Great question.
My answer to such a question, I promise, will always be consistent, too.
...on what day it is. ;^)

The media elite are free to hide behind the first amendment and be communist. We are free to change the channel, I'm ashamed that more conservatives do not do so.

[Cronkite] was (and is) just as big a liberal scum-bag as Dan Blather---he was just a bit more subtle about it. The "jovial grandfather" image fooled a lot of folks. Is this hindsight on your part, W.W., or did you think this way about Cronkite DURING his tenure? If so, at what point during same did you come to that conclusion and why? Was it that Vietnam documentary? (I was 19 years old, a college sophomore who didn't yet know left from right when it came to media, when Cronkite yielded to Blabber.

Re your last paragraph: YES!...UNLESS we do not act immediately to destroy the dreams of Arab Empire in the minds of Saddam, Assad, the mullahs, and al Quieda. The fate of communism is tied to the fate of the middle-eastern Arab region: they are joined at the hip. Without radical Arab hegemony, there is little hope for the communist party in the former Soviet Union's Asian republics. With a malignant Arab empire, there is every reason to believe that Georgia, Ukraine, and all the "stans" will soon be recommitted to the party line, and the West will be weak and vulnerable to agitations as it spends itself in a greater effort to thwart the designs of Saddamites.
Destroy Saddam: destroy communists. (Shucks, that;s why this war is so damn important. Bush can't say it, though, 'cause he'll be accused of tinfoilitis)IMHO

The media elite are free to hide behind the first amendment and be communist. True to a point. Would it make any difference if they began to actively advocate overthrow of our representative form of government? Could they ever cross the line into seditious/treasonous behavior? Would they then be a threat to our way of life and could they be held accountable? Where do we draw the line?
In any case, we're free to rail against 'em also. In fact it's our obligation and our duty to do so. If communism/socialism is their cup o' tea, why don't they just say so instead of taking us Gramsciian style into the abyss? Their poison is just a deadly a little bit at a time; it just takes a little longer.

The People are turning them off and tuning into Fox, or the internet, some just turn off the TV altogether and read a book, "Atlas Shrugged" in my case.Cable, the Internet, and Ayn Rand, that's my Holy Trinity. That's what could save this nation.
To: ForGod'sSake
Oh, I despise them, I would love to see them all tarred feathered and run out of town on a rail. To me they passed treason and sedition years ago, but no one is going to hold them or politicians accountable.
To: MissAmericanPie
To me they passed treason and sedition years ago... Agreed.
...but no one is going to hold them or politicians accountable.
I agree to a point ; ) Until our country gets back to its fundamental roots and traditional values nothing will come of the weasels in the media or gubmint. Of course NOTHING scares these maggots more than us moving back to our constitutional framework. The professional politician and the touchy-feely media will go the way of the dinosaur if we prevail. So, fight on we must; who need 'em!?!?

*** Volkogonov, a Red Army general who advised and observed the last few Soviet bosses first hand, described the Soviet leadership as a cadre of naive, ignorant, narrow-minded, lazy, short-sighted, bigoted and arrogant men with an uncompromising and absolute belief in a simplistic, shallow and completely erroneous ideology. ***
Not to put too fine a point on it. Add liars.

"Is this hindsight on your part, W.W., or did you think this way about Cronkite DURING his tenure? If so, at what point during same did you come to that conclusion and why?" No, it wasn't hindsight. It was in the early Sixties, and I can't point to a specific incident that crystallized the perspective--I just knew that his/CBS's news reporting made me uncomfortable (too liberal). I was in high school at the time.

Gramsciian style?
Never saw that word before. What is it?

Not to put too fine a point on it. Add liars. That's good. I'm sure you've met people that are so out of touch with with reality, that is to say the truth , they actually live in a world that is disconnnected from actual events, and their cause and effect. Their world consists almost entirely of something made out of whole cloth that bears little resemblence to reality. We're all practitioners to some degree; they've just taken the concept to a higher plane.
I wish some of the shrinks on this board would take a look at these utopian dreamers to see what drives 'em. I don't have a clue.

utopian dreamers Public schools are turning potential Americans into ignorant, intellectually lazy people, imbued with a sense of entitlement, expecting a government hand out and banking on that windfall from a lottery or personal injury judgment. Simply put, spoiled brats.
