A PROPHETIC 1944 SPEECH

Norman Mattoon Thomas (November 20, 1884 - December 19, 1968. Some of us are old enough to remember him running for President. He was a leading American socialist, pacifist, and six-time presidential candidate for the Socialist Party of America.

Norman Thomas said this in a 1944 speech:

"The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of "liberalism," they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened." He went on to say: "I no longer need to run as a Presidential Candidate for the Socialist Party. The Democratic Party has adopted our platform."

The problem with Socialism is that at some point you run out of other people's money. With fewer and fewer people paying taxes and more and more getting benefits, something has to give.

Bakersfield, California
On September 14, 2008 I posted on this blog the statement ONLY TIME WILL TELL.
It is now February 20, 2009 and time has passed very quickly with our new Socialist leadership in Washington D.C. It has not taken very long to see what direction Obuma is taking us with the help of our elected officials. We are now a Socialist Country and no longer a Capitalist government. With the government bailing out all of the mismanaged Banks, Mortgage institutions, auto companies, Insurance companies and even Porno Hollywood.
This has come about under a plan put forth by Globalists. These people are now in control of managing our companies and taking away our freedoms.
Our President and the Congress are now going to manage our companies and institutions. Most people in Washington have never run anything except their mouths. Most of them are Lawyers and we all know they, as a group are failures as businessmen. That is why they have ended up in government. They are unable to hold a job in a competitive world of business. They go to work for the government! These Liars (LAWYER) and idiots in Congress cannot run their own house banking without corruption. These Liberals and left of center politicians Damocrats and Rhino Republicans are selling out our great country. People, who are the age of June and I, will not have to pay the full price in what time we have left here in this life. Our children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and great-great grandchildren will have to pay the debt our politicians have encumbered them with.
Obuma’s motto is spend, spend, spend, and print, print, print, Monopoly money with nothing to back it up. Make the dollar worth nothing in the world.
The time is coming when we will not have free speech and own our own guns. I want our posterity to know that we as their progenitors are not supportive of the way our country is headed. What is difficult for us to understand is how some families are very conservative in the way they live their lives and manage their own affairs. Those same individuals when it comes to government are liberals. There is only one place in the world where I have been able to put one foot in the western hemisphere and the other in the eastern hemisphere at the same time. I liken that to the way we live our lives. We cannot be honest with ourselves being split down the middle. We are not an honest person when we don’t stand up for what we believe in. A politician will tell you what you would like to hear to get your vote. A Statesman will tell you the truth for the good of the country. We have yet to see a Statesman in either party.
It has not taken long for “ONLY TIME WILL TELL” what OBUMA had in HIS mind with HIS platform of CHANGE! All of your CHANGE in his pocket for him to control and spend as he likes. I hope you like the change. I DON’T!
