Americans have gotten too complacent about communism. After all, the Wall fell and all our enemies became friends, right! We no longer needed Star Wars weapons. Forget about wasting all that money on defense, we could just use it all for socialistic programs and get the people used to having their lives run by the government.
The internet has been a Godsend. People who believe in freedom and rights have made changes in the past decade. I've seen FReepers make such a difference and now we can start informing other people about this. Bring it to the light and it can be defeated.
