Is It True

Is it true that the 'best and the brightest' have set their minds against America, that the protestors want to tear it down not build it up? Is it true that they are the real patriots, the ones who want to refashion this country to live up to its claims as a land of opportunity for one and all? Is it true that these self-assured people are the wave of the future, and that "Nothing can stop 'their great ideas,' whose time has come?" Well they certainly are neither the best nor the brightest. To fall for communism, or any of its forms, which have been proven over and over again for the past 125 years to be the death knell of those unfortunate countries which have adopted them--- Is that bright?! Listening to protestors' ideas carefully will reveal how they actually would deny opportunity to the very folks they claim to want to help: Defunding the police, and eliminating prisons and courts of law will forever doom the hopes of people residing in our inner-city neighborhoods, who will be at the mercy of the shooters and drug- dealers... And are their 'great ideas' the wave of the future? They are if you really think our once-great universities have a chance of sur- viving should they continue to unabashedly promote a radical agenda. Get a grip, America and Americans! Come to your senses. Restore the idea of 'One Nation Under God. --- Under God, and not under the allure of every youth movement that comes along to overturn centuries of hard-won experience grounded in Faith, Good Deeds, and Wise Parental Guidance. May we all live to see the Dawn of a Brighter Day tomorrow!

You nailed it Gershon.. Communism is a failed ideology.. It may shine in golden color in a book or thoughts, but in reality it is another word for dictatorship..

Socialism and communism always sound real good at first. Venezuelans, for example, were really optimistic about Hugo Chavez' regime changes back in 2004 or so. Then, it all always unravels, and as you stated, turns into a dictatorship. Pity the lesson never seems to reach the younger generation. ~ Gerhson
