It was only a matter of time:
Sixty four years ago Norman Thomas knew what was going to happen to our country in 2009. Norman Mattoon Thomas (November 20, 1884 - December 19, 1968) was a leading American socialist, pacifist, and six-time presidential candidate for the Socialist Party of America. The Socialist Party candidate for President of the US, Norman Thomas, said this in a 1944 speech: "The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of "liberalism", they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one dayAmerica will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened." He went on to say: "I no longer need to run as a Presidential Candidate for the Socialist Party. The Democrat Party has adopted our platform."
John Adams on the enabler of uncontrolled human passions:
We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge or gallantry would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution is designed only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for any other.
Its 2009 and a majority of our felllow Americans are consumed by overly hedonistic, frivolous distractions, and we must cut their binds one by one. They assume they are free, but they've been conditioned to act instinctively instead as free-thinking men and women.
