“If I subscribed to the Bircher vision of an omnipresent conspiracy pulling every string and commanding every leader in the never ending plot to (redundantly) take over the world I don’t know why I’d bother with politics at all. What would be the point?”

With respect, have you read-up much on the major communist players over the last century?

We do indeed have enemies and some are indeed communists. They know they cannot take us down in a conventional war so they have, over the decades, spent much time, money, effort, and human life searching for ways to dominate.

Is that too far fetched?

The KGB spent 15% of its resources on spying, the rest went towards subversion.

The worst thing we could do is fool ourselves into believing that communism (the hard-left) died with the Soviet Union. I assure you, they did not.

Just take a long hard look at your government right this minute and you will see many working against the fundamentals of the US—precisely the same way communists would work against our way of life.

Of course they wouldn’t call themselves anything resembling “communist.” And they can’t drive tanks down Pennsylvania Ave., with hordes of goose-stepping soldiers.

But they could slowly change our direction, couldn’t they? They could work towards collectivizing health care, crushing business/capitalism with intense taxation and regulation (cap ‘n trade), and turn us against each other, more and more, etc.

Call me crazy, if it serves your denial. But they are working locally, nationally, and internationally to bring us under their thumb.

Do you think “global warming” or “climate change” is about the environment?

One thing that might throw you off is how the hard-left is enlisting capitalists to further their cause. It appears to be corporate greed, and it is, but it is being used and manipulated by the hard-left.

Unprincipled capitalists are the new “useful idiots.” If you can get your enemy to willfully assist you in destroying them, then why not?

“The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of ‘liberalism’ they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” — Norman Thomas (1884-1968) six-time U.S. Presidential candidate for the Socialist Party of America

Keep in mind, socialism is but a temporary transitional mechanism by which a capitalist system is converted to a communist system.

If the “socialists” (useful idiots) manage to dominate the US (we would have become an extremely weak country by then), the war is then between them and the real-deal communists.

Guess who wins that one?
