Is The Alarm Sounding?

Once again the commentators are not quite hitting the mark. I am not even sure they are seeing the right target. One radio host states that the Obama administration and its supporters see government as the source of America's greatness and that to make America great requires more government. That is not the case. They do not care about America, other than to tear it down to third world status. This is nothing new, there have been "politicians" who have been working on this for decades. If you research The Congressional Record, Senators Strom Thurmond, Barry Goldwater, and others back in 1960 recognized the threat of subversive activity in the US. Remember, communism was advancing rapidly, with very little opposition because everyone was concentrating on, and fearful of, nuclear confrontation. While we were rightly building bomb shelters, we were ignoring the subversive elements in American society, who were working to unravel and bankrupt our free republic. These subversives began infiltrating every level of government and began to tie down our productivity and dismantle our security by legislation. We are now so overburdened that industry, jobs, and wealth have been driven out of the country. Sounds like a successful campaign according to Sun Tzu's Art of War, which is what Marx advocated. And the productive people in America did what we do, buckled down,adjusted, and worked that much harder. In having to increasingly work harder, we lost the time to pay attention to what was going on behind the scenes, and our country was disfigured and our Constitution mutilated. Our work ethic and our desire to be left alone in peace to pursue our work and lives is both an asset and a liability. We are now faced with a dilemma of freedom versus tyranny. July 4, 1776 is day of the Declaration of Independence, but the fight for independence began April 19,1775 and it took fifteen months of armed conflict to bring the American people to the realization that a fight was being thrust upon them. That has been the case with each conflict we have been drawn into. What is going to draw us next? Is the alarm sounding?
