Their economic system was worse than terrible, although it did always
fulfill its promise to bring the classes closer together, but it had to
lower almost everybody to near poverty level to do so. By 'almost
everybody' I mean that the tyrants and their sycophants keep their
dachas and daggers but everyone else suffers. That's Communism! So
anyway, they hated us because we were proof that their theories were
lies and we hated them because they killed millions of people. Our
university professors had a tough time figuring out who had the better
argument but religion won the day for both the communists and the
professors didn't want any part of it.
So the 'war' began. Our weapons were a constitution, laws and honor, and they, well they were very inventive in devising ways to torture, murder, maim and deceive. Our strategy was to wear them down, meet them in every challenge and stay on the field longer than them. Their strategy was to establish a 'fifth column" here on our turf in every profession that had access to our minds. They went for the children, families, the entertainment industry, unions, higher education, the media and Congress. We won on just about every foreign battlefield.....wore them down.....and then they quit! We then had a big party. They changed their name and shaved the mustaches so as not to be recognized on their return. One of their own, Barack Hussein Obama, became our king...actually our president but he put a crown on anyway and began to dismantle our Constitution, weaken us internally, and tear down our defenses. A finger appeared on the wall writing Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin but we have no interest in seeing what that meant in the 5th chapter of Daniel.
I came home this afternoon from a hard day of thinking in the car and turned on the television. PBS was broadcasting a travel documentary on Vietnam and the host almost gushed over North Vietnam's successful war for independence. That's what we have come to! Vietnam did not defeat the one who invaded them! It was Communism that invaded their society. This was not their war for independence....it was their Waterloo.....and they lost!
Communism played on our weaknesses. If we were to lack vigilance for only a moment they would grab a foothold in our land and never give it up. We gave more than a moment. They took more than a foothold.
The hedge around us was no longer; not the hedge of armies and missiles but of the fear of God. Our discernments had been ravaged. We could no longer live with liberty for we no longer understood it. We sought to atone for our ignorance by tearing up the evidence of that we which were ignorant of. Truth became an anathema. Jesus became an anathema......"The way, the truth, and the life" became an anathema. Here and only here is our hope, for if we return to Him, He may....He may...have mercy upon us once again, not in returning us to our exalted position but in keeping us through the coming storm.
