Similarities between Obama’s America and the old Soviet Union are frightening and growing

The differences between the Old Soviet Union and Barack Obama’s America are dwindling away. This should be disturbing to all Americans but there are actually a certain percentage of our people, (Romney’s 47%) who believe 1984’s “Freedom is Slavery” motto and are happy being led around like farm animals. If you think we have been losing our freedoms you’re right. A recent American Thinker article, by a Russian émigré now living in the San Francisco area, paints a portrait of a drab suffocating existence under Communist rule, and made some solid comparisons between our lives today and the way he lived in Russia.

While we are still far away from life under actual commissars, the numbers of similarities are already frightening.

This was the purpose the left saw in electing a black man. They knew they would have the race card to play and that he could push the limits of all laws and constitutionality with little or no resistance.

The old Soviet Union was also famous for making vodka cheaper than safe drinking water. I see the same mentality in place in the rush to legalize marijuana, a near instant killer of memory and brain cells, while at the same time cracking down on tobacco, a slow and inefficient way to contract cancer.

similarity is frighting. Oh well, miss Romney yet?

Yeah, we really dodged a bullet by sitting out and not getting that Romney guy...........

*whew*

/s for all those who actually believed that crap.

What Soviet Medicine Teaches US

So, as in all countries with socialized medicine, a two-tier system was created: one for the “gray masses” and the other, with a completely different level of service, for the bureaucrats and their intellectual servants. In the USSR, it was often the case that while workers and peasants were dying in the state hospitals, the medicine and equipment that could save their lives was sitting unused in the nomenklatura system.

A drab suffocating existence under Communist rule and it only took five years to complete.

Almost every parallel can be laid at the feet of the compliant press, and that includes Fox. Fox News has joined the war against the TEA Party. Think of that every time you see Karl Rove’s fat face on the screen.

These ‘similarities’ are insignificant to the 3+ generations of Americans who flunked Civics 101 and now vote for whomever will give them ‘free stuff’... politics be damned.

“czars” = commissars.

Another similarity and I am very surprised that Collins missed it.
Like the Soviet Union, we are spending ourselves into oblivion.

Language control aka political correctness, massive abortion, affirmative action, gay pride, entitlement classes - all from a 1920s Russia.
