Communism---Does anyone remember this?

"We cannot expect the Americans to jump from capitalism to Communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving Americans small doses of socialism until they suddenly awake to find they have Communism." -

Soviet Leader Nikita Khrushchev, 1959

I cant remember his name but there was a politician that ran for president as a candidate for the socialist party during the 30s and 40s. He said "america will never willingly embrace socialism but under the guise of liberalism they will accept every tenant of socialism, i no longer have to run for president the democratic party has taken up my cause". I will find his name and post it later.

“The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism, but under the name Liberalism they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program until America will one day be a Socialist nation without knowing how it happened.”
-Norman Thomas, six time candidate of the Socialist Party for President of the United States, in 1959

Well we're there! or will be if Odrama has his way!

Remember when you fought communism with a rifle and a bayonet, those were the good ole days!
Now they just vote it in!

Oldshooter:
Where and when exactly where the Commies defeated that way?
If you think of the Soviet Union, they were not defeated by the military and in fact the Communists are doing just fine in Russia albeit not in that name.
