“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.”

Directions


In the "Wizard Of Oz" Dorothy and her friends were told to disregard the man behind the curtain. "Pay no attention to him, for I am the great and powerful Oz!" the image bellowed. Sounds like politics of today, only today the bridge is out and you can't even see the curtain, forget the man behind it!
Our presidential team is running amok around the world wreaking havoc and creating far reaching and many significant long term problems. We stand on this side gazing at the Bridge Out sign while P-Lo, Harry, and The Prez run around hell bent on the destruction of this country and its speedy move towards socialism across the chasm the bridge once covered. The real problem is that most Americans are to stupid to realize that they are being suckered and the bridge was taken out so this separation can happen.
In the movie, the guy behind the curtain turned out to be an okay guy. I'm afraid here that the guy behind the curtain has sharp teeth and does bite. I think he is an unleashed monster running loose throughout and is constantly bringing the country down. It is sad that when we truly need the Cowardly Lion to get some Courage; the Tin Man to get some Heart; and for the Scarecrow to get a Brain; what we got was the 3 aforementioned Stooges being allowed to run free without restraints or controls.
I am standing in my Ruby Slippers and clicking my heels 3 times and praying that sanity returns and that I have been in a dream. Alas, I think I'm still in Kansas - Toto!!
