    The Once and Future Tyranny

    ALEKSANDR SOLZHENITSYN
    Live Not By Lies (1974)


    A quote from a Russian:

    ..."we can see that the young and presumptuous people who thought they would make our country just and happy through terror, bloody rebellion and civil war were themselves misled. No thanks, fathers of education! Now we know that infamous methods breed infamous results. Let our hands be clean!"

    Blaisdell, Bob. Essays on Civil Disobedience (Dover Thrift Editions). Kindle Edition.

    Some of you may remember Solzhenitsyn. He lived after the October Revolution that toppled a monarchy, replacing it with soviet communism, with international socialism. What followed after was eight decades of poverty, injustice, tyranny, and despair.

    Today, thanks to the same "fathers of education," the radicals, the dreamers, the idealists, the Marxists, we are standing on the verge of our own October Revolution that will usher in the same one-party tyranny.

    I wonder why we do not fear it. Why do we believe this time it will be different?

    We're Americans, we'll do it right and it will work this time. We have developed ways to pick up the turd by the clean end.

    Why do you make it up as you go along and just parrot what your masters tell you to disseminate? Mark Levin:" The left wants to hire (for president) Reds"...

    Why can;t you do responsible research and find actual evidence of this "creeping tyranny"? Why can't you produce ANYTHING that shows that socialism is alive in the US? WHY can't you produce one shred of evidence that shows an actual political drive by the left to usher in what could possibly be described as communism?

    We don't fear it because it's not there.

    This was responsible research. Educators in this country are largely Marxist in all but the STEM programs. Almost half of the young fools believe socialism is the answer. It is hard to tell what they believe the question is.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.

    Why? Do you think he would believe I misquoted him?

    YOU haven't the foggiest idea what you're talking about.

    Empty baseless idiotic far right-wing drivel is all you ever have.
