How can I put into words what I think and feel regarding our decent into oppression through a communist oligarchy?

DEVISTATED

That is the only word that comes to mind. Let me explain to you the gravity of the situation...

Two days ago I was at the physical therapy office (I just had surgery) and mentioned to an old woman that her use of the parallel bars was like that of Nadia Comăneci. We laughed and a few others chimed in about how the guy with his leg in a whirlpool was like Marc Spitz. Naturally, all of this Olympic talk got us all on China and the 2008 drummers.

I mentioned that our nation was descending into communism that resembles that of China. There was a woman there who with a thick Eastern Block accent added, “No, you are not descending into Communism. You are already Communist!” The owner of this office wishes that I would STFU but now as it so happens this woman, who escaped from the USSR over twenty years ago grasped the 1st Amendment and cut through the DENIAL.


Eventually, it was just me and her making conversation about her experiences and impressions of the shenanigans that we see in the government and general population of the USA today. She told me that she mentioned this subject to her boss who proceeded to tell her that she was a LOON. I have also had this issue where the people around me are quick to point out that I am a LOON as well.

There I just thought I would share that nugget with you all!

Somebody else's mess?

But it's Obama's mop.

If he didn't want the job he should have stayed home. It's always the other guys fault with this administration. What a bunch of wussies.

From the "If you're a hammer, everything is a nail" department:

"You guys make a pretty good photo op," the president said. (Hat tip: Hot Air.)

The guy sees his reflection everywhere.

The average John and Jane hasn’t got a clue that anything has gone wrong in the USA. These people were educated in communist training centers (public schools) and so naturally, they toe the “Party Line” unconditionally! The woman I spoke with from the old USSR insisted that the entire younger population and a good portion of the middle aged population is completely programmed to accept communism/socialism and that unless we devise a way to win them back well in her words, “We will be killed!”

The fact is that old folks and most of us middle aged folks are not in “Fighting Condition” and so since we sent our kids to communist reeducation centers there is not much we can do. The communist goals for the USA state that the destruction of the family unit is one of the keys to dividing the population. I think most older and middle aged people would have a difficult or more accurately put IMPOSSIBLE decision to make should they be forced to slog it out against their own kids.

This is essentially our own fault for allowing it to go this far and waiting till the last moment only to marginally realize how deep the hole goes. I encourage those of you who have not read the 1963 Congressional Record on Communism to do so at this time and see just how FUBAR our situation actually is (see it here below)…

Congressional Record--Appendix, pp. A34-A35
January 10, 1963

Current Communist Goals

EXTENSION OF REMARKS OF HON. A. S. HERLONG, JR. OF FLORIDA

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Thursday, January 10, 1963

Mr. HERLONG. Mr. Speaker, Mrs. Patricia Nordman of De Land, Fla., is an ardent and articulate opponent of communism, and until recently published the De Land Courier, which she dedicated to the purpose of alerting the public to the dangers of communism in America.

At Mrs. Nordman's request, I include in the RECORD, under unanimous consent, the following "Current Communist Goals," which she identifies as an excerpt from "The Naked Communist," by Cleon Skousen:

[From "The Naked Communist," by Cleon Skousen]

CURRENT COMMUNIST GOALS

1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.

2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.

3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.

4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.

5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.

6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.

7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.

8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev's promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.

9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.

10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.

11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.)

12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.

13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.

14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.

15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.

16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.

17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers' associations. Put the party line in textbooks.

18. Gain control of all student newspapers.

19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.

20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.

21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.

22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms."

23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. "Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art."

24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.

25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.

26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."

27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a "religious crutch."

28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state."

29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.

30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man."

31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the "big picture." Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.

32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture--education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.

33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.

34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.

35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.

36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.

37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.

38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat].

39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.

40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.

41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.

42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use ["]united force["] to solve economic, political or social problems.

43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.

44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.

45. Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction [over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction] over nations and individuals alike.

“I Know We Are at War,” and Other DC Fables

As more and more cracks appear in the previously-impenetrable Wall of Obamian MSM Idolators, the president must be wondering if he could get away with bailouts for all of his driveby media whether they need it or not.

When “SNL” feels free to take potshots at Obama, the Times prints truthful news about him, and even Theonion.com no longer feels he is sacrosanct and beyond reproach, something may be a-brewing that could approach even-handed treatment of the president.

Some queasiness just might be settling in on the banks of the Potomac and within the White House walls as the administration gets a tad nervous.

In an appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Attorney General Eric Holder attempted to defend his decision to try 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his co-conspirators in a federal civilian court in Manhattan, within virtual spitting distance from Ground Zero.

Committee Chairman Pat Leahy (D. VT) wasn’t able to shield Holder from some hard questions concerning his decision, a decision he has contended he alone made, which is as preposterous as it is damning.

Would the President of the United States have had absolutely no input in the matter of by-passing military tribunals? If so, he is more out of touch with reality than it has seemed and once more he has contradicted himself.

Holder surprisingly admitted something Obama has long avoided by saying: “I know that we are at war. I know that we are at war with a vicious enemy who targets our soldiers on the battlefield in Afghanistan and our civilians in the streets here at home:” http://bit.ly/2OUdSp

He held fast to the Obama position that the war is not against Islamic terrorism by never mentioning that abhorrent phrase. . . .

Is It any wonder AARP is pushing Obamacare??


The AARP received an $18 million grant in the economic stimulus package for a job training program that has not created any jobs.
