It is my belief that we are getting very close to communism, as the Obama zombies have voted for another 4 years of Socialism at the very least. Will we turn the country around? Will we be able to after another 4 more years with these leaders? It amazes me that my generation, who did drills of crawling under our school desks in case the USSR launched a strike on the US. My generation who should remember us boycotting the 1980 Olympics because they were played in Moscow. President Carter wanted to protest the invasion and possible communist takeover of Afghanistan By the Soviet Union. My generation that stood proud as a few young college kids who believed in miracles, overcame the worlds best government produced hockey team in Lake Placid NY.

To me it seemed at the time we should hate the USSR. I did. But in time I have come to realize, it was not the people of the USSR who I should have been hating. But communism itself. I still hope we will never get there and will fight against it. I`m not so sure what happened to some in the rest of my generation. Seems that some have turned to socialism, willingly accepting Nikita Khrushchev words. Now we are old enough that some of our children have and will continue to spread it. It will be a long way back to freedom if we ever get there. Will we ever be the country our parents, grandparents and forefathers created again? Or will we continue to go the Soviet way, thinking that government is the answer to every problem, while believing government can produce a hockey team that can rule the world. Government cannot create greatness. Only freedom can. Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide. – John Adams (1814)

I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them. – Thomas Jefferson
