Editor,
Before the ’60s, our country was strong, proud and based on Christian principles. The people were proud of our government and supported it in every way they could. They felt assured of their government and its promise of being represented by them. In their hearts, they felt a strong feeling of confidence, trust, and safety in their government.
In a visit to the United States in 1956, the Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev made a number of predictions that would slowly come true in the following years. His first prediction was, “we will take America without firing a shot and we will bury you.” His second prediction was, “we do not have to invade the United States; we will destroy you from within.” His third prediction was, “we cannot expect the Americans to jump from capitalism to communism, but we can assist their leaders in giving Americans small doses of socialism until they suddenly awake to find they have communism.”
Do you know that 50% of our youth today embrace socialism? Do you know that all of the democratic candidates running for president embrace socialism? Lastly, in the next election, you, the voters, will decide the direction our country will go to determine the fate of the freedom you now enjoy. You will either embrace capitalism or socialism and communism. I beg you to think hard on the candidate you vote for because it will be the last chance to continue to enjoy the freedom you have now.

How do you explain Red China today, the second largest global economy
growing and expanding with awesome speed?
Yes, Ross, the current unduly selected occupant of the WH is doing his best on a daily basis to prove Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev right in his prediction, that the US would be destroyed from inside.
However, that it will lead to communism, is nonsense. That political idea has long since been abandoned by the largest former proponents and has nothing to do whatsoever with the socialism progressives advocate. What is being promoted is socialized capitalism! Capitalism is here to stay, but it needs refinement with overall social needs and musts taken care of, - with environmental protection and people’s health taken into consideration. Socialism is focused upon common human needs. With military, law enforcement, infra structure, mail and library services and much of basic education already rightfully socialized, the progressives only push for an expansion to cover health services, higher education and a fairer share of the social pie. Only the most foolish confuse that with communism.
Mr. Foti - WOW! Bone chillingly true. Thank you!
