Interestingly I Was Reading a Book on the Cold War

I hadn't seen this quote in years, but I did roughly remember it. I wasn't around in 1956, some of you were and may remember it live. It is almost prophetic that Khrushchev uses the word "awaken" as it relates to all the "woke" craziness of late.
"We will take America without firing a shot ... we will bury you!
"We can't expect the American people to jump from capitalism to communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving them small doses of socialism, until they awaken one day to find that they have communism.
"We do not have to invade the United States, we will destroy you from within."

I don't think it worked seeing how the Soviet Union collapsed. So you could look at it as a strength not a weakness.

Just like the Devil needs God...Maybe the US Needed the USSR. I guess every old fart worries about the next Generation's ability to keep this nation great.
I stood the wall for well over 10 years and did my small part to end the Soviet empire, I hope these kids today can do it for the asymmetrical threats we face today.

Yeah but the apparatus put in place keeps turning. It’s actually spun off the rails but no one here can muster the support to stop it.

I think De Tocqueville said it better. America’s democracy will last until Congress realizes it can bribe the public with its own money. That’s what we’re seeing mow

A few years later the comic Flip Wilson said, “look at all those people in China, they’re not going to fire a shot either. They’re going to put on tennis shoes and sneak over here and screw us to death.”

in Tennessee to build electric car plants for Ford.
So fed now gets to determine the definition of eminent domain to include private company big business use.

Kruschev said it and he was right. Biden, the Democrats, liberals, media, and education boards are totally, totally destroying America.

I don’t get involved in political discussions typically. But I do completely agree about the education board entry in your list. My kids are young, but even at small local levels it is very obvious that there is complete incompetence and corruption.

1 in middle. It's not good at all and seemingly getting much worse very quickly. We are ditching public for private. Private has its issues, but it's time to eliminate the indoctrination, CRT and unbalanced treatment of students. The worse the students' behavior, attitude and academics, the more they are catered to.... That is a fact.

As a retired enlisted Marine I have had my kids in private schools from the git-go. Definitely hurt financially but my son and daughter have proven us right. Public schools are government indoctrination camps focusing on everything but the 3 Rs, fighting school choice, and as always begging for more taxpayer dollars.

Ok, you’ve disproved quotes. The USSR never tried to infiltrate, influence, or orchestrate our government, systems of education, or systems of information?Wonder how this jives with your ideas on the 2016 election?
