I’d love it if Beck or others would interview people like this woman who have escaped communism.

They’re doing a great job of educating us on the ideology and the methods being used to implement the agenda, but it’d be great to hear first hand the reality of life in such regimes.

That is a great idea. Perhaps you can suggest it to Glenn Beck

There was a caller on Hannity on Friday that was from the former USSR. He commented on 0bama’s upcoming school speech and the lesson plans that go with it. He said that putting up the quotes, etc., talking about how to help him, etc., was exactly like what he grew up with in the USSR, except it was Lenin. He said that most everyone distrusted the government and knew it was all crap.

everyone distrusted the government

And they still took over.

here is no perfect society. There are no perfect people. Critics say that greed is the driving force of capitalism. My answer is that envy is the driving force of socialism.

The Democratic Party could not exist without envy.

And they still took over.

I'm pretty sure the distrust of the government happened AFTER the Commies took power and started trying to get everyone worship Lenin. After all, taking from the "rich" and giving to the "poor" seemed like such a great idea at the time...
