re: We are witnessing the death of the Republic by enemies from within

There is a term for trees whose seeds are enclosed in a wax-like substance deep inside the tree's cones. These trees live a hundred years or more. But even though they live so long you seldom see a young tree on the floor of the forest under the trees. The seeds in the cones don't normally germinate, it takes the heat of a forest fire to melt the wax and release the seeds.

I am convinced that's how our Republic will work. There are hundreds of thousands of seeds out there that will be set free by the forest fire of what we're apparently about to go through in this nation. The big-government, one size fits all, socialistic approach to life since the Great Depression has managed to crowd out a lot of the spirit that makes America what it is. And, just like a forest fire clears the forest of the overgrowth and old tress, the almost certain economic disaster we face will release the seeds of a new generation.

Allow me to eplain. I believe Obama is a Communist. He is all in for socialsm. Capitalism in order to survive must have “capital”. If Obama wants socialism he must destroy the capital. He seems to be succeeding.

I hope you are right.

My concern is that few know the truth. That Obama is still above a 50% approval rating speaks volumes as to how ignorant our fellow citizens are to economics and politics.

Dictatorships usually follow republics.
