To: American Dream 246

I agree that the voters are as much to blame for this presidency as Obama himself. On the other hand, America has a history of recovering from socialism. For a full recovery, the sting of socialism must be felt by a large number of people, and the economy is what will sting us. That is, if the economy gets bad enough, enough people will say “enough!”. The process will be ugly, probably with plenty of polarization and riots. Some will take sides over ideological issues, others will riot because of their economic situation. The bigger question I have is, “Are we willing to go through the termoil to cleanse ourselves?”

America has a history of recovering from socialism.

I'm sorry, I may be suffering from a poor memory and/or am ignorant of some significant event(s) in US History -- what are you referring to here?

From my perspective, I see what is happening now as just the most current incarnation of the slow boiling kettle of socialism that was put on the burner by FDR decades ago. It has been heating up, sometimes rapidly when the fire has been turned up, and sometimes more slowly when the burner is turned back down to simmer for a while, since then. And the point that we are at now is a direct result of all of the infiltration and brainwashing that has gone on for decades, all carefully and patiently plotted out. Usually I am an optimistic person by nature, however I don't see how the tides can be turned at this point -- the majority of people in our country have been so thoroughly indoctrinated that they can't even understand that there are so many un-Constitutional problems contained in this health control legislation that they can't even be counted at this point.

How have we ever recovered from socialism? What am I missing here?

(And I am not being sarcastic or facetious, I really hope that someone can show me how we can possibly turn this decades long disaster around.)
