I list here two articles by two astute Christian teachers that also voice my concerns about America. We are at a turning point in America but we are turning toward a philosophy that we fought against during the entire cold war period – Marxist socialism.
In Jan’s article Joe Farah asked, were you polled on the recent huge leap into socialism when the government purchased banks with taxpayer money? The answer is yes and no.
It is yes because you were polled when you elected your Liberal leftist representatives to Washington. The American people can only blame themselves for the Congress they have and the pseudo Conservative President in office.
The answer is also no because when your representatives sold this bill to the American people they said it was going to be used to buy debt instead they gave Treasury Secretary Paulson dictatorial powers. He did not use the money to buy debt as he said, he used it to buy major interests in banks and the banks were given no choice. That is socialism and the power he was given and the action he took is not constitutional.
Of course the people still do have a recourse, they do not need to reelect the people that voted for this bill but all indicators say that they will. I also want you to be aware that both presidential contenders voted for this bill. Not only that, from what the polls say America is about to vote in a Marxist leaning socialist to the office of President.
If that is not bazaar enough, America is also likely to give this socialist President a super-majority in the Congress so he can enact anything he wants with no viable opposition or fear of impeachment. The last two times there was a super-majority the nation took great leaps toward socialism that put us in the debt that we are now in. Now it looks like we are about to take the final leap that will make America as Far Left as Venezuela and put this nation on a completely different path than the path our nation has been on for 230 years.
Some people say the USSR lost the cold war and Communism was defeated but actually it now appears that we are becoming them. We are now on the same path that they took and we will suffer a similar fate – socialism and bankruptcy.
Nobody wants to call a small group of elite controlling the commoners communists anymore, but that is what they are. Either call the government they propose Communism or call it socialist fascism. There is little difference in the real world.
It seems the whole world is now under the influence of fascism. Russia is fascist, The EU is becoming fascist, China is fascist, Islamic nations are fascist, Now under big government socialism we also will become fascist. Soon other regional alliances in the world also will be under socialistic fascism.
The only world government the power elite want is one where they can totally control everything people do. The world is rejoicing about Obama because we were the last major hold out preventing the elitist socialist fascist New World Order.
The real question all Americans should be asking themselves is why are we allowing it to happen here? The world socialism plan is anti-Christian, anti-constitutional, anti-life, anti-liberty, and it is anti the pursuit of individual happiness?
Through subversive brainwashing America has become two nations. One nations wants the America we had for 230 years destroyed and replaced with a socialist collective ant farm run by queens. The others nation still believes in the nation our forefathers gave us. That nation urgently needs to locate an exterminator.

In recent weeks it has become more obvious that America is on the yellow-brick road to Socialism. In 1962 Russian Premier Khrushchev said,
“We can’t expect the American people to jump from capitalism to Communism but we can assist their leaders by giving them small amounts of Socialism until they awaken one day to find out they have Communism.”
He also said that Communism would take over America “without firing a shot.”
As it concerns some recent desperate moves to stabilize the economy Joseph Farah asks, ” Excuse me? Were you consulted? Do you recall having a national debate about this? Did your congressional representatives poll you on whether you liked this idea? Dare I ask, where would such a move be authorized in the U.S. Constitution? Or has America completely moved away from the idea of the rule of law and the will of the people being the key determinants in our supposedly self-governing society?”
Commentator David Limbaugh says, “Maybe I’m being too much of an alarmist, but I’m worried for the first time in my life that the election of a presidential candidate could lead to a fundamental change in our system of government. How many times must history repeat itself before we learn that Socialism and Communism cannot work?”
Karl Marx said, “A new revolution is possible only in consequences of a new crisis.” We have a crisis. As a matter of fact, unless the world stock markets stabilize, the entire world could be looking at a financial tsunami. Many nations, including America, could be ripe for being taken over by unsavory political efforts “without firing a shot.”
Sen. Barack Obama has declared himself a Socialist. The now-famous “Joe the plumber” brought the truth out. Joe may be the most important non-candidate in this race. He became globally famous in 24 hours. He challenged Obama’s tax plans on camera as Joe can’t buy a business he wants. It will be unrealistically taxed. Obama responded,

The Danger Of A Super-MajorityBy Todd Strandberg
There has been a great deal of concern over the possibility of Barack Obama winning the White House in the November 4th election. In the past few weeks, I’ve received dozens of emails from people frustrated over how one of the most liberal senators is getting a free ride to the White House.
There has been very little media coverage of what could prove to be a far more dangerous political development. Polls indicate that the Democrats have a good chance of expanding their congressional majorities past the point of having a filibuster-proof Senate.
“This would be one of the most profound political and ideological shifts in U.S. history. Liberals would dominate the entire government in a way they haven’t since 1965, or 1933. In other words, the election would mark the restoration of the activist government that fell out of public favor in the 1970s. If the U.S. really is entering a period of unchecked left-wing ascendancy, Americans at least ought to understand what they will be getting, especially with the media cheering it all on” (Wall Street Journal, 17 Oct. 2008).
During both previous times when there was a super-majority, it was possible to rewrite the rules at will. Franklin Delano Roosevelt gave us the New Deal and Lyndon Johnson created the Great Society–just fancy words for socialism.
The Democratic party of today is far more liberal than it was during any previous super-majority.
Well, fascism, socialism, communism and its various sects are all different things in theory but basically they all come down to the same thing: rebellion to God, man putting himself on the pedestal. The tower of Babel revisited. That is what is happening now. I wouldn’t say the EU is necessarily fascist, or that America is going Marxist. I’d rather say they’re all on the road to tyranny that results from group thinking, which is shared by people that find themselves from the left to the right on the political spectrum. It’s a system that has a lot in common with older ideologies but is different and new at the same time. The “Third Way” is probably a more fitting word to describe it.
I actually said that the EU is becoming fascist. It is becoming an authoritarian hierarchical government The more power nations give to the central government the more fascist the EU will become.
Group think and most of the modern tools the social engineers now use comes from Marxism or the people who influenced Karl Marx. Communism, and fascism are just different forms of socialism. The “third way” is just government rejecting predatory capitalism and the more radical ideas of socialism but if authoritarian hierarchical government is going to regulate and manage everyone to enforce the “third way” the government has become fascist and of course tyranny from a government with that much power is almost a foregone conclusion.
I see what you mean. I may just be too much of a hairsplitter when it comes to political ideologies. Just one note about group think. I think this doesn’t necessarily have to be derived from Marxism. Just look at extreme nationalism, ultranationalism or whatever it’s called. That’s group think and collectivism to me as well, regardless of whether those adhering to it position themselves on the right or the left.
I agree, if you go far enough left you meet the right
