1. There was that prescient explanation of the state of things from former Knick, Michael Ray Richardson:
Reporter: What do you think is happening to the team?
Michael Ray Richardson: The ship be sinking.
Reporter: How far can it sink?
Richardson: Sky's the limit.
Now, that may be comedy gold....but it sums up the future of our once great nation.
2. And, another analogy......just as a drunk must run faster and faster just to remain upright, our nation is running faster and faster - but in a manner which presages destruction.
Seven years ago, America elected a socialist who did his best to hide his political past, and his racial and religious biases.
He was aided in the deception by the corrupt main stream media.
Today, the almost-most-popular Democrat proudly proclaims his socialism!
".... Obama obtained office by covering up his radical past, Sanders has proudly embraced the fact that he is a democratic socialist. The most shocking part of this narrative is that America has changed so much in the past generation that Sanders is now the preferred candidate for office by almost half the Democratic Party.
On Jan. 11, 1996, Barack Obama signed a contract promising to publicly support and associate himself with the New Party. The New Party was a socialist organization in Chicago, Illinois, that was deeply hostile to the idea of American capitalism. When journalist Stanley Kurtz reported this signing to the public in 2008, the Obama presidential campaign sharply denied the claim as a “crackpot smear.”
In 2012, records from the Wisconsin Historical Society definitively established the truth of the matter. It turns out that Mr. Obama did sign the New Party contract." Falling in Love With Socialism
3. "....America once again has a presidential candidate with a radical socialist past. This time, the truth is even more blatantly obvious.
Bernie Sanders and his wife traveled to the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics for their honeymoon in May 1988.
While attending the University of Chicago in the 1960s, Sanders became a member of the Young People’s Socialist League. He backed the People’s Party in the 1972 presidential election, which famously demanded that any income higher than $55,000 must be outlawed. Sanders also served as a presidential elector for the Socialist Workers’ Party in 1980. This party traces its origins back to the Communist League of America, an organization that propagated the ideals of infamous Marxist revolutionary Leon Trotsky.
But this election year, Sanders has felt that the Democratic Party is now socialist enough that he is running for its presidential nomination. And judging by the huge, enthusiastic crowds at his rallies and his strong performance against the more-traditional frontrunner, it appears he was dead right about the Democrats’ socialist leanings." Ibid.
Can anyone state the significant differences between socialism and communism, other than the call for outright revolution?
That aspect, of course, simply awaits the proper numbers of adherents.
