Was it Kruschev who said,
"We will spoon feed you socialism
a bit at a time," or
something like that?
Turns out whoever said it
was a prophet (one of many).
We are Americans. We love
free stuff, and a sale, and
convenience. We want to
germinate a seed and then
reap the harvest the
same day. One spoon at
a time was maddeningly
too slow for us.
Margaret Thatcher said, "The
problem with socialism is that
you eventually run out of other
peoples' money," or something
like that.
Just not in her lifetime.
Or mine, i guess, since we
just print whatever we need.
What could possibly go wrong
with that strategy?
My ancestors fought in the
American Revolutionary War.
I can even prove it on
paper. Violence and dissent
are my birthright as a
Son of Liberty.
Which, of course, means i
must fight in the next
revolution. With words
and ideas, or actions
or a gun, with
conviction and apathy of self,
with my bare hands even,
to the death.
It won't end well for any of us,
no doubt. A day will
come when we must take
our hearts and minds to
the fields, and possibly
leave our ***** there.
For someone.
For Something.
To be true Americans.
