Where are we headed?

A quote from Nikita Khruschev "Your children's children will live under Communism.  No, you will not accept Communism outright, but we will keep feeding you small doses of socialism until you will finally wake up and find you have Communism...."

Many young Americans feel socialism is the ideal way.  They think everyone will be equal.  The problem is they are not taught true history.  Some people want to past erased but we don't know where we need to go unless we understand where we have been. 

How does socialism come about?  Here are some of the ways.
1.  Control healthcare and you control people.
2.  Increase the poverty level as poor people are easier to control.  Let them pour into the country.  The more the merrier.  Provide everything for them and they won't fight back.
3.  Increase the debt so you can increase taxes and produce more poverty. 
4.  Gun control.  Remove the ability for people to defend themselves. 
5.  Welfare.  Take control of income, housing, and food and they are completely dependent on government.
6.  Take control of what people read and control what children learn in school.  I see this happening more and more as teachers are fired for not going along with the rules of what they are supposed to teach.  Christianity is taught to be a violent religion while others are told to be peaceful.  Books are banned that tell of what things were like in the past.  Recently I saw where a Bible verse was removed from Facebook as it didn't go along with their purpose.  I could go on and on with examples,
7.  Remove God from Government and schools.
8. Create class warfare by dividing the people into wealthy and poor with no middle class.  Cause unrest between the races.  Do we make heroes out of people who don't really deserve it that lead to riots and burning down towns, hatred for police because of a few bad apples? 

America is changing and we have ourselves to blame.  Why do some politicians want poor people to pour into our country?  Do they truly care about their welfare?  Do they care about the welfare of the poor Americans already here?  Do they care about how they are going to vote?  Do they want people to vote without showing an ID?  Why?  My vote was not counted in the last Presidential election and I know of several Georgians whose votes were not counted either.  But we are told that there was no fraud in the Georgia election. 

These are a few things to think about.  You may agree or you might just think I am a crazy old conservative woman.  But I believe in speaking up about things you believe in and I believe that the United States was the best place to grow up and raise a family but I worry about what my grandchildren's lives will be like.

Just curious but how do you know your vote was not counted? Do you still believe the election was stolen? Have you watched any of the January 6 hearings?

LindaM:
I can't even deal with this.  I'm tired of having schools attacked, police violating civil rights, losing my right as a woman to choose.  But you don't care I guess that women are walking into their doctor's offices at 23 weeks pregnancy and asking if they doctor would save them or the child if there is a problem.  I guess you feel that teens should have guns and use them whenever they want.  What happened to my freedom?  I feel like there are some in government who could care less what I feel.

Snowbird:
Where did the above say anything about abortions?   I think you have attacked me unfairly.  I was talking about how Communism happens to people who let it happen for not fighting against it.  It talked about the government interfering with our lives and censorship, etc. It talked about creating learned helplessness because of the government handout.  Yes, some police violate rights but I believe there are many out there that are trying to do their job under difficult circumstances.  How about the police that are killed for no reason but people hate them? Yes, I do care about the woman who really needs to have her pregnancy terminated but my daughter worked in the Health Department and had girls in their early 20's come in who had had as many as 5 or 6 abortions because that was their way of birth control.  I don't think it should be used as a form of birth control when there are over 20 ways to prevent pregnancy.  Have you ever watched a film of an abortion and seen the limbs ripped off a baby that has a beating heart and nerves that can feel? Do you not care about them?

And for Trouble I went to vote and was told I could not because someone had sent me a mail-in form which I did not ask for and did not want.  I was told that I needed to bring it in so they could see that I still had it.  I had thrown it away.  So they let me sign something and gave me a paper ballot.  Then it was put in the box with the ballots of people who voted on the machines.  Evidently, they did not count the copies as I got a letter asking if I planned to vote and stating I did not vote in that election but had other years listed that said I had voted in them.  A man behind me in line also had the same problem so I was not the only one.  A friend of mind did a mail in vote and there was a way to track you vote.  She found out hers had not been received or counted and was told that there were many others like hers that were not counted.  This was in the Atlanta area that ended up Democrat.  I have seen very little of the hearing as I am dealing with my daughter's hospitalization due to acute leukemia.

I encourage you all to watch the hearings. All of the witnesses and evidence was first hand from Republicans that were part of or witness to what led up to and happened on Jan. 6. We are much closer to fascism than socialism in this country. The last hearing was terrifying. I am glad they will be having more in September. It sounds like the floodgates are open and many more witnesses will be giving evidence to the committee. Hopefully those responsible will be held accountable for their actions (and by this I especially mean the former president) so nothing like this can ever happen again. Watch them and see for yourself.
