Islamofascism, Marxism, liberalism, “progressives” are all united in a singular cause, whether for religious, ploitaicl or economic reasons - defeating Democracy is their uniting purpose - and they are all the enemy of our great nation - the world's last best hope. The reason for their enmity may be for different reasons, but, like the man said, “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” and they are friends.

Since then our leaders in Washington have given themselves the power over citizens property and their money by way of controlling our financial institutions. All of America is outraged and calling it ‘socialism’ but, I believe, it goes much deeper and is more sinister than socialism. It is the first implementation of Communism.

Now, more ACORN offices around the U.S. are under investigation after police raided their Las Vegas office. ACORN representatives will tell you this is all politically motivated, because they register people who would tend to vote for democrats. Election officials say they are also registering lots of people, who do not even exist.

Of course this left a vacuum. People cannot get along without a belief in something outside themselves, and during the next hundred years they concocted a new belief in the divinity of nature. By 1730 the collapse of Christianity was nearly complete in England and the nutballs were off and running, writing about modern man corrupting gentle peoples and destroying nature’s beauty.
