Yesterday, I texted my friends the following message:
"Why would America kill the snake of communism to just drink its venom decades later by electing Barack Obama?"
Here are a few of the responses I received:
"Because, at one point, Jimmy Carter was president"
"Because rap music and reality TV have turned the average American's brain into apple sauce"
"Because he's hot?"
"I ask myself the same thing every day"
"Because we are ending division in America. We are working to change"
"We'll all be begging for change when he gets done with our income"
"Because Republicans did not stick to their core principles"
"He's one of the biggest threats to America. Period"
"such a good question and I don't have an answer. I just hope America isn't dumb enough to elect him"
"this is a prime example of how history is destined to repeat itself if people don't learn from past mistakes"
"I have to believe Reagan is turning in his grave"
"Great civilizations always decline from the inside"
"Because he has a nice smile and he's so COOOOOOOOOOOOL"
"The blind adoration scares me. People are willing to give up freedom if asked nicely or told it will benefit them"
"We're fine. McCain will win for sure"
The last response reminded me of a quote from Reagan's speech in 1964,
"Norman Thomas, 6 time candidate for President of the socialist party said that if Barry Goldwater became President, he would stop the advance of socialism in the United States. I think that's exactly what he will do"
Is it possible that despite (understandable) concerns with John McCain, he may be our country's last best hope to stop the advance of socialism in the United States?
