America Is Now a Socialist Nation.

A Commentary by J. D. Longstreet
*******************************
“Democratic Socialists believe that both the economy and society should be run
democratically—to meet public needs, not to make profits for a few. To achieve a
more just society, many structures of our government and economy must be
radically transformed through greater economic and social democracy so that
ordinary Americans can participate in the many decisions that affect our lives.”

Months ago, as I began to write about the dangers of socialism to America, (and
how the Democratic Party has become a sort of Socialist/Democratic party) I was
stunned when they, the democrats, did not refute it. I had expected democrats to
deny any connection to socialism. But they didn’t.
It was then that it struck me… they don’t deny it because they can’t. They have
become socialist! They have embraced socialism. Why, then, I asked myself, don’t
they change the name of their parry to accurately reflect whom, exactly, they
are. We suggest: “The Socialist Democrat Party of America.” There is no reason
to attempt to conceal the true alignment of the so-called Democratic Party in
America with the Socialist Movement any longer. They have totally embraced
socialism -- with gusto!
As a soldier in the US military I was taught to fight socialism. We trained to
meet the socialists on the field of battle. There was no question that
Americanism and socialism could not exist on the same globe without conflict,
and, we rightly assumed, armed conflict. Is that where America is headed today
-- armed conflict between American citizens over whether America will remain a
socialist country or revert back to its proper role as a democratic
representative republic under the authority of the US Constitution?
Make no mistake about it: a coup d'etat has taken place in America. The
socialists have taken over the government of the country. While the people
remain democratic, the government is socialist -- from the White House to the
Congress.
Here is a quote from WHERE WE STAND -- The Political Perspective of the
Democratic Socialists of America:
“In the United States, we must fight for a humane public policies that will
provide quality health care, education, and job training and that redirect
public investment from the military to much-neglected urban housing and
infrastructure. Such policies require the support of a majoritarian coalition of
trade unionists, people of color, feminists, gays and lesbians and all other
peoples committed to democratic change. Our greatest contribution as American
socialists to global social justice is to build that coalition, which is key to
transforming the power relations of global capitalism.”

Never doubt this, dear reader, socialism leads, inevitably, to communism.
Socialism is the precursor for communism. Socialism is the “forerunner,” so to
speak, for the advent of communism into a nation’s government. That “forerunner”
is now in place in both the White House and in the Congress of the United States
of America.
The Communist Manifesto is also a socialist manifesto. You need only read
Frederick Engels' preface to the 1888 edition of the Communist Manifesto, which
declares that the Communist Manifesto "is undoubtedly the most widespread, the
most international production of all Socialist literature, the common platform
acknowledged by millions of working men from Siberia to California."

What of socialism and Christianity? The answer is they cannot co-exist.
Socialism means economic control of the people by government. In a socialist
country, the state is all-powerful. Such an all-powerful state views itself —
and not God — as the ultimate authority. It is not surprising, therefore, that
the Communist Manifesto calls for abolishing family, marriage, countries, and
religion as well as private property. Under the socialist system the state
determines what is right and wrong — without any competing loyalties to God,
family, or country.

So, how does socialism gain total control over the citizens of America?
Universal Healthcare – Socialized Medicine – ObamaCare, no matter what you call
it, it means one thing: Total control of the lives of American citizens! And it
is on the verge of becoming the law of the land.
The Congress has roughly three weeks of actual time “in session” before the end
of the year. The US Senate is going to bust it’s seams during those few days to
ram Socialized Medicine through the Senate and down the throats of their fellow
Americans.
We have to stop them. If we have any desire, at all, to preserve America, to
preserve the freedoms granted us by the constitution, Socialized Medicine must
be stopped and stopped cold. Otherwise America, as a free nation, is lost.
