The world premier for the new Reagan movie was last Friday in California. A second 'premier'....so to speak....was yesterday....Wednesday.....in Oklahoma where the movie was filmed. Tonight...Thursday....was a third 'premier' in Pittsburgh....because of the proximity to Grove City College where Paul Kengor teaches.....whose book the movie was based on....and my wife and I were there. It was terrific.....so I obviously recommend it. Dennis Quaid did a fine job....as did Penelope Ann Miller as Nancy.
I had posted literally dozens of times on communism in the first six or eight years or so of these posts....and there were extensive reviews on books written by Paul Kengor who may be the most nationally known expert on the subject. I would have to research it. Maybe I will later....but in a much earlier post I was amazed that someone in talk radio....Rush in this instance....had finally mentioned the 'C' word.....communism. For the last eight years my warnings have been more on what we have become in reaction to what communism has done to us. The following post from September of 2015 was just one of the dozens of posts on Communism:
On Communism
Communism is not just a political and socioeconomic system. It's a cancerous cell inflicted upon the human race for a purpose. Is this an outrageous statement made without warrant? Are 100 million lives and counting not enough to warrant such a statement? Communism instigates hate and violence for the sole purpose of societal upheaval so that it can take power. It works tirelessly and patiently to perpetuate ignorance upon which it thrives. It leads decent people into committing crimes. It plays upon the weaknesses of societies, not too help them but to subjugate them. It lures the poor and the rich alike. It sets first the focus of its attack on whole professions.....professions that in turn can protect it through naivete' and vainglory (journalism) prevent it from having to deal with a God-fearing people (higher education) and propagandize and tranquilize the rest (entertainments industries) while it only has to send a relatively small contingent, in comparison to the entire population, of trained and professional operatives to help set up a shadow government ready to take power when all government and law collapses.
It's been written that the Devil loves it when people laugh at the very thought of a Devil. In like manner Communism flourishes in its mission precisely when people consider it a toothless old bogeyman. They, the Communists, are more than thrilled knowing that the great American circus of electing a president has started as this endgame progresses. The last thing they want is for they themselves to become the focus of attention. Slowly but surely that is just what is happening!
