The article fails to address the theory that creeping socialism, which is what we're undergoing, is another means to attain a communist state. I believe it can be traced back to an Italian communist philosepher who Hillary and her cohorts follow. The premise is that if a candidate jumped up and said "I'm a communist-vote for me" they would lose. However, under the guise of a socialist in other countries, or a democrat in ours, they slowly but surely ratchet their way toward communism.

For example, nobody in America owns their home even if the mortgage is paid off. Don't believe me. Don't pay your real estate taxes and find out what happens. The state owns all private property in this country, a concept unthinkable generations ago.

That's a fine post.It's the 'creeping towards' that disturbs me.Regardless that we had to put up with Hillary Directing #42 for 8 years AND People actually are coming out publicly and making statements like this:

ALL TIME CHILLING QUOTE OF THE DAY :
"The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism,
but under the name of Liberalism
they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist Program
until one day America will be a Socialist Nation
without ever knowing how it happened----"
WHO SAID THIS?

Norman Thomas, six-time Socialist Party presidential candidate and one of the founders of the ACLU.
Now you understand how come I don't sleep so well at night sometimes.They are brazen enough to TELL US what's coming. That fact alone should worry every U.S. Citizen!

Your probably thinking of Antonio Gramsci.

[Kenny Bunk]

The guy is Gramsci, a hero of the Communist movement and especially revered in Cuba, not to mention over to Hillary's house.

And I'm going to tell all Freepers ONE MORE TIME: THE book to read on this subject is Anatoly Golitsyn's "New Lies for Old"
.

What this courageous defector did was lay out (in 1985) that exact course which the Communists have in mind for the world for the next 5 decades.

If this book does not make one a wee bit paranoid, one would be nuts to begin with.
