Many thanks for your clear-sighted comments on this thread. The naivete of some is disheartening and irritating.

When Reagan left office I thought we were stable for a long time into the future.

I've had many similar thoughts in the last two years. I was stationed in Nurnberg, Germany at the end of the Cold War. My unit, 2nd ACR, did the last patrol of the border between the Bundesrepublik and the DDR before the two countries became one in Nov 1990. While looking at the landscape around the soon-to-be defunct border, I thought, "Thank God all this crazy communism is defunct! The people who founded it are on history's ash heap. We buried them."

I am astonished every day that within twenty years after that last border patrol, we have to fight a neo-Marxist in the White House, knowing that about 40% of America thinks he's doing a good job!

Why I lose sleep at night. We have a double problem - the neo-Marxixt in the WH and the 40% who think he's doing a good job. We have a lot of work to do. . .

I thought it was over, too, but now I know that communism will never be dead.

There will always be Godless people who believe that they’re the change the world has been waiting for and that they are destined to rule and succeed where communism has always failed in the past.
