I can't help but wonder how many people in this thread even know what communism is, or socialism for that matter.

In my life i will never say never, and it cannot happen, when in reality, anything is and can be possible, to say no something like this could never happen, is just plain ignorant.
If the commies take over I'm moving in with you. I hope you have an extra large room for me and my two dogs. You have nice oceans views for me to enjoy and you can protect me. This sounds good to me. I like my breakfast at about 8 am every day.

Communists are Jewish intellectuals in berets that drink a lot of coffee trying to organize the goyim that will follow.

Oh, for Pete's sakes!
Crackpots are on both political sides, and God knows we have enough of them. Most of us are neither cowardly enough or stupid enough to believe the nutjobs, whether they are on the left or right.

The United States of America will never be a communist country.
Communism was a bankrupt political philosophy that totally failed everywhere in the world except for China, and Chinese communism has evaporated there except in title. It's been gone for over 25 years, and folks, it ain't coming back.

America flirted with it in the 30's, and gave it up. We don't want it, and it does not grow in soil that is free- it never has, and it never will. No matter how alarmed some of us are about losing our freedom, America is still, and always shall be, the home of the free. I hope we are still the home of the brave, and I'm not willing to listen to the cowards who think Communism will ever find root in this free soil.

Don't buy into this crap.

Fact is most people don't know what communism is. When the government gets so large one has the government tell you what doctor you can see, what food you can eat and what car you can drive. Sound familiar.. Obama is in to all of that.

Tell that to the Obamacare when Government wants to own your body and tells you want treatment you can and cannot have.

When food is rationed or priced so high no one can buy it, and what food we should eat., when the media tells you what to think as they don't report the news as it is, but pro Obama always.

When we have a president that wants to shut down the coal industry and he doesn't get a dang how high the cost of electricity or any kind of energy is.

Sounds like a dictator to me.. it is his agenda and not for the people at all.

Fact is , I don't recall anything negative about Obama on the airwaves during his run for president? Do you think we will hear much negative reporting as they won't have time as the bias media is constantly ripping down anyone opposing of Obama.

News is no longer news. It is filled with their slant on what goes on.

Maybe if one knows how news it suppose to be reported one would realize there are no real news networks. A bland slate of what has happened and not what to think of what happened. We used to form our own opinion. Connect the dots of what is going on.. no more. People are told what to think .

Oh, Communism is alive and well as we are slowly reaping a large government takeover as it was in the United Soviet Socialist Republic. So much so, the banks are beholden to the government through the FDIC.The banks on shaky ground have to go to the government for a bail out.. The government is getting larger not smaller and with bigger government our freedoms are taken from us.

They spoke to thousands of college students who recited words they were told to recite and were being indoctrinated into the communist party.

I also heard many phrases of Obama , such as transforming the country from the ground up and social injustice.. There was great admiration for Lenin and the Russian Revolution transforming Russian into a communist state.

Much was said about the occupiers and their rise up to the capitalist greed.

The communists are going after the young minds in the colleges and getting quite a following.

link to some of the highlights of the program is below.

Cornel West, Carl Dix speak at UC Berkeley about social change - The Daily Californian
Yup..they are using freedom of speech. You know, the same right Beck and Limbaugh use all the time.

The American right wing has gone off the deep end. God help us if they ever get enough political power.
