Russia or America ? You Decide!

Boy isn't that the truth! I swear the doses are getting awful big though? Have you gotten a load of these Bail Out Packages? I can't believe our politicians are voting for these things! Never before in the history of the world have so many been forced to pay the entire burden for so few!

It is as if our very own government is calluding night and day, with a small handful of wealthy and elite international interests to turn our beloved Union into a bought and paid for communist state!

The rights we have been tricked into giving up in the name of waging the war on terrorism? Since when do the free and the brave cower so in the face of agression that rather than just boldly and fiercely confront our enemies we cower in lines and huddled in masses instead stripped of our dignity and virtue in the name of some hollow protection?

The political situation in Washington has reached treasonous levels and even the sanctity of our elections process itself is no longer even being enforced as a man reputed to be a foreign national stands ready to take the highest office in the land without even being required to prove his eligibility.

Is it communism or something far worse?

I don't know...there is something very wrong in Washington when not one politician seems to be defending the constitution and it's virtues.

I have two lanterns in my closet...

I think the USA will never become communist. the doses are small and they don't add up to much. At its core the American Nation is pro free market economics.

It is true that at times the Americans seem to take a step to the left but It's only a step and you must look at the big picture when analyzing the actions of the government.

Khruschev also said, "We will bury you."

Following that funerial note, someone was buried in 1991.  We buried the Soviet Union.  Now, all we have to fear are the ghosts.

We never went far enough to the left to worry about losing our freedom . . . until Obama came, to wreck our hopes with the stroke of a pen.

It's important to remember that during the Cold War the Soviet's utilized the KGB to export a vast and yet to be determined number of 'sleeper' style agents. These sleepers were instructed to join American society and fit into society as if they were just the folks living next door. They were instructed to work in certain fields in government and technology and media, and to marry those who had high positions in government, technology and media. They were told to just live a 'normal' life until they were contacted and activated. America is full of Communist Agents left over from the Cold War. Their current idealogy and political loyalties are uncertain.

After a rough start too democracy many of Russia's wealthiest bussinessmen are former KGB officials who parlayed their contacts and resources through the former government into formidible wealth. Despite their riches it is unclear what their true current idealogy is or where their political loyalties lay. That they have at their disposal a large network of people inside the United States still is likely.

Like previous communist leaders of the U.S.S.R., the current Russian President also predicts America will fall from within, over the course of the next 20 years from corruption within and errosion from within.

The communist government in Russia might by dead, but is Russian anymosity towards the United States of America dead?

Marine Recon Dad, nobody hated the Soviet Union more than Russians.  Talk about oppressive!  Alexander Sohlthenetzin (sp?) said it better than I ever could.

"It is amazing that America and the Soviet Union could be so different and yet so alike.  The main differences are that here, my life is worth defending and as soon as I swear in as a citizen, I can vote for one of two contenders for an office . . .."

No one hated the Soviets worse than Russians, and no one had better cause to flee the Vietnam War than Russians.  They may have been great at oppressing disarmed proles, but I can tell you that they didn't like tangling with United States Marines.

The communist government in Russia might by dead, but is Russian anymosity towards the United States of America dead?

Allow me to quote a fiend (not a misprint: he really is a punning fiend) of mine who goes by Jon Witten.  He was born Janosh Wittowski, in Badenkov, Siberia. 

"I came here in 1989 as an undercover agent.  I got a job at a McDonald's Restaurant, making in a week what I earned in a year as an undercover agent.  I got weekly re-education lectures from my boss and he kept wondering if I would become a former-Soviet informer on the apparat.  He continued showing me VGS tapes on KKK meetings and everything that was rotten in America.  Then in 1991, the Soviet Union fell.  So did my Soviet pay.

"But by then I was the manager of a company-owned McDonald's and a year later, I had bought the franchise.  Now, my former boss is working for me.  I like it here a lot better than there.  A few months after Dissolution, I brought my wife, mother, my sister, and my brother, wo be with me as Americans.

"Now, my son is a Boy Scout, and his favorite merit badge was rifle shooting.  Life is good here.  You have to experience the bitter before you can appreciate the better."

It's a crying shame and a bit embarrassing that this Great experiment founded by Great men has barely lasted 200 years. It's like a man building a business worth a fortune and leaving it to a son who runs it into the ground in half the time it took to build! The old saying is ringing loud and clear!

"All that is needed for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing."

In my opinion capitalism has won since there is no good alternative. Who knows maybe we are experiencing a change but as long as there won't be a new system that has good results capitalism will win.
