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. |
What you say sounds familiar. Where have I heard something like what you said?
I've got it! It was "Baghdad Bob" announcing total victory by Saddam's army.
