...the American decent into Marxism is happening with breath taking speed, against the back drop of a passive, hapless sheeple, excuse me dear reader, I meant people.
Not even close to being "spot on". The author is on a soap box ranting about the decline of America based on McDonalds, TV, our education system, tax system, wall street and the decline of religion. While ANY of the above talking points could be argued as "declining" or "needs work" or "whatever" NONE of the above points, individually or collectively, reach the level of a "descent into Marxism". Not even close.

The sky is not falling. Our Government remains strong. Marxism is not "just around the corner". Freedom of speech abounds. Liberities are and will continue to be protected in our democratic land. We are not headed to communism, socialism or Marxism with "breath taking speed." It seems I have a lot more faith in America than many of the "doom sayers" around here! And enough common sense to take a Ruskie's rant about the failure of America with a grain of salt.
