Their plan was two steps forward and one step backward. During the anti-vietnam was demonstrations in the 60's, the communists infiltrated the demonstrations. The anti-war young people could avoid the draft as long as they were in school. Many of these kids were from middle and upper class families. They went to school on their fathers checkbook, took a few courses and had plenty of time to demonstrate. We called them professional students and most of them went into education, colleges in particular. Our kids has been brainwashed even in universities such as Harvard, Yale, Princeton and many others. I pray that it isn't too late to take our country back as it seems that they have taken over the White House, many in Congress and the bureaucracy.

It's heartbreaking to see how little people in my generation (the under 30 crowd) know about events like this that happened while many of us were alive. I wrote an essay on the importance of History, of the wisdom of the ages, and I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.

Somehow, Ernst Stavro Blofeld has been reincarnated under the unlikely name Barack Hussein Obama. Even the name has conjures the image of something foreign and intriguing. The unlikely, intriguing one has somehow intoxicated the masses with 'hopium', a powerful mind altering drug that induces a hypnotic state of euphoria, even during situations that would normally bring about feeings of loss, despairation and depression. When the unaffected try to wake their fellow Americans from their catatonic stupors, they are met with repeated chants of "Yes, we can" from the vacant-eyed masses. Further attempts by the unaffected to awaken the hypnotized masses only result in rebuke and angry criticism. Like zombies on a sinking ship the masses are determined to follow their course into oblivion, firing their guns in full fury on their rescuers.

The wall be in the form of economic and financial strangulation for those who do not bend and join the "new party". The wall will become a living, breathing, document called "1984". This HAS HAPPENED numerous times all over the globe. For those of you that still snicker and laugh that it cannot happen here - you are dead wrong. It's already happening. Dear Earl, Queens NY,

You are more right than you know.

Whoever dreamed back then that today we would have the antithesis - a leftwing radical Marxist in The White House? It's amazing to think of how so much of the world has rejected communism and moved away from it. But thanks to some 63,000,000 stupid voters on 11/4/2008, we are going in the direction of what Russia and East Germany used to be. If we don't get rid of this leftwing Congress and administration in 2010 and 2012, we may have a big wall to tear down in our future!! Yes, that was a great moment during the Reagan/Bush era.

For the liberals it was like the grim reaper stopping by to rip their soul's from the flesh. That is why Mao-Bama attempted to turn this anniversary into something about him through his lame speach and God like reverberation. He refused to mention anyone associated with this triumph of freedom. What empty souls these people have in the White House.
