Excellent. Thank you for the post.
Let me enlighten the professor. It’s not just the joys of Wal-Mart and Amazon that distract us from seeing what’s being done to us by the government. Not only those. It’s the belief that we all grow up with that America is the end of history, the best ever, and will remain so. Whereas countries all over the world go through upheavals, revolutions, coup d’etats, their peoples no less distrustful of government than we are, we tend to think that just because it hasn’t happened here, there hasn’t been a need for it to happen, what with our perfect political system, it is and will remain copacetic. We don’t think we ever need a dramatic change in government such as the Poles and others in Eastern Europe saw in 1989, and the Hungarians saw just recently again after being free for 20 years, and the Egyptians haven’t been afraid of, and this is in my opinion our weakness.
And that’s the insight that the likes of William Ayers who’s behind the installation of the Emperor of the White Hut, the insight that he reached and exploited. Venezuelans will rise sooner than Americans, and don’t blame Wal-Mart’s discount prices.
Apathy and complacency, that’s what I wanted to say.
Excellent, Cat!
Commies, socialists, marxists, revolutionaries are banking on our fear, inaction and disbelief that anything catastrophic can happen to America..that we could end as the country our Forefathers founded and died for.
We need a good slap in the face to bring us back to reality. Get angry, where the hell is our backbone, and we'd better dig deep down for some courage...prepare for losses, yes, but that's what happens in war. And we ARE at war in this country against the biggest, most evil poison known to man....communism/marxism/socialism!
That's part of it. Another part is that the cultural Marxists have succeeded in their "long march through the institutions."
A large number of Americans have absorbed the tenets of Marxism in everything but name.
Obama's just kicking over a dead tree.
