Came across this:
Check out Sotomayor's most liked quote in her Princeton yearbook: "I am not a champion of lost causes, but of causes not yet won." - Norman Thomas
Norman Thomas was a leading American socialist and six-time presidential candidate for the Socialist Party of America.
He also said this:
“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.”
Tell me why we shouldn’t consider her a radical??
The quote in the yearbook is pretty benign.
Marxists/socialists have no idea how good they have it in this wonderful country;
...and, they are clueless as to the depth of the misery and despair that will grip everyone (especially them) if/when they realize their dream of a Utopian collective.
.
Wow...
Norman Thomas...SOCIALIST PARTY...is the Grandfather of EVAN THOMAS of Newsweek fame!!
“The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism.”
Yes they will, because it has become a benign word taught for decades in the schools and universities that it a fair and just government rule. The conservative leaders who are speaking out and calling the administration socialists, need to be very specific and educate the public in detail as to what socialism really is about and what they will lose.
And that’s not dilettante Socialism, but Socialism in the sense of “Union Of Soviet SOCIALIST Republics”.
But theu bought it last November under the name “Liberal”; “Democrat”, really. Packaging again! What have I told you?
Don’t you all get it? If Obama has taught us anything it’s if a democrat is associated with all types of radicals and crazies it doesn’t matter. Get in goose-step people!
