Sadly, too many Americans don’t know what communism is, or they foolishly think that it died with the fall of the Soviet Union. Nothing could be further from the truth. Communism is alive and well, but it isn’t just in Russia or China anymore.
The 2012 election is not a referendum on Mitt Romney or Barack Obama. It is a referendum on American society. It is a contest between two opposite American Dreams and the outcome will tell us nothing about Romney and Obama, but everything about the American people.
It is a test of ALL Americans, those who vote and those who don’t bother, and those who think they can afford to play 3rd party games on the sidelines, even in the most important election in U.S. history.
Unfortunately, before we can answer the subject question, I will have to teach the definition of communism first. Baby-boomers were never taught not to destroy their own country by overloading productive members of society with the high cost of free-stuff for folks like the common Obama supporter. But they won’t be able to claim ignorance after reading this column.
“A theory or system of social organization based on the holding of all property in common, actual ownership being ascribed to the community as a whole or to the state; A system of social organization in which all economic and social activity is controlled by a totalitarian state - dominated by a single and self-perpetuating political party.” – That’s the definition of communism according to Dictionary.com

No true Patriot will be sitting out the election at home this time. No decent American will sit on the sidelines in some futile 3rd party fantasy or protest. There is simply too much at stake.'
Agreed. I wish some of the posters on FR would understand this.
From what I have read, many Americans were slaughtered when they joined the communist cause in the Spanish Civil War. I think the number was close to 2000 who fought on the side of the communists. It takes a pretty solid committment to join another county's war.
Marx and the commies supported Lincoln, and many of them fought for the North in the civil war. Some became generals.
FDR started the ball rolling in earnest with Socialist Security.
LBJ finished us off with "The Great Society" and Medicaid.
Then there was Carter's "Community Reinvestment Act".
Communists all.
It’s important to note that the current leftist regime is not purely communist or socialist. They also have a strong undercurrents of national socialism and syndicalism, a term few Americans are particularly familiar with.

“when did communism become an American dream?”
I would say in the 1920s,after the Bolshevik revolution. Most of the artists and writers in the west got on board. Some were even recruited to work as agents of influence by the Comintern. There was massive infiltration of the press, schools and our federal government by communists. It was like termites coming into a house - now, generations later, the infestation has multiplied and the foundations have been eaten away.
I cannot recall any J.B. Williams article that wasn’t a quality read.
This one is one of his best.
Thanks for posting.

Like every generation, baby boomers come in several flavors. Human nature is pretty flexible in how it can be categorized, but it really doesn't change much through the ages.
heheheheh.
Universal suffrage is "a bad thing." That's just the way it is, but damn, it's a hard sell.
BTTT for a great article - Thanks for posting.
They not only joined in another country’s war — they joined the commies.
If they had lived in this day and age, they would have joined the dhimmicrats.
In 1985, I had a chance to spend a short time in Boston and walked part of the Freedom Trail. I got big time goosebumps when I stood in front of the Old North Church. A couple of years later, I got to visit Yorktown and the same thing happened to me.
Our kids teachers were dumbed down by this same education system so I don't see much chance of improvement in our education system.
Read Whitaker Chamber’s book. The Communists infiltrated our government so badly during the 1930s, then the McCarthy charges came and everybody went undercover for a while, but they have not been inactive. I’d say that our government is rife with career workers who are either sympathetic or outright Marxist. That is my perception, having been a DOD civilian for 25 years.
I attended a regional water management board meeting yesterday. The task is to manage CA water bond money for planning, surveying modeling and management. I said, but what about the district and other bodies that the people actually elected to have jurisdiction over planning, etc? What about the private owner’s right to manage his water use to the limits of his water right? Oh no, the majority vote of a technical review committee and an unelected policy review committee, without any jurisdiction whatsoever, is all that is needed. If the jurisdiction doesn’t like it, too bad - no approval is needed.
Unelected boards/commissions, apointees and bureaucratic agencies rule our state, not elected representatives. There is no accountablity.
Before that!
Reminds me of the last scene in MISSION TO MOSCOW in which we see people walking to a shining city on the hill.
