Take heed

"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 knowing how it happened."
- Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948


“We cannot expect the Americans to jump from Capitalism to Communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving Americans small doses of Socialism, until they suddenly awake to find they have Communism."
- Nikita Kruschev, Premiere of the former Soviet Union, 3-1/2 months before his first visit to the United States.

My mom is now 71 years old and I'm 31 (yes she was 40 - but I digress), there is one thing I heard her say several times that has always stuck with me. She would say - The Russian Communist have always said they will never have to come after us to make us communist, America will do it to themselves.
