Americanism vs Communism - Worth Repeating, Over and Over

As the editor of Conservative Truth, and just as a concerned American citizen and Christian believer, I truly believe there are a lot of people who are growing more and more disgusted with how our country is going right now. We need to be aware of that. “They” (liberals, leftists, Democrats, anti-Christians) would have us believe that they have a vast majority who side with them. Just because that's what you see on TV and movies does not make it so. And what can you do about it? Do whatever you can! VOTE! Write letters, talk with neighbors, live a truly conservative life of honesty and freedom, devoted to God and truth and love. Be ready to stand for what is right, and stand against what is wrong. Paul Hayden, Editor in Chief.  

The following are two comments that were sent in by readers concerning an article published HERE on Conservative Truth, 6/22/2020 - titled Americanism vs Communism, by Bob McCray.

First Comment

Bob, Just now came across this and would like to provide you with many accolades for publishing this. My wife and I took this most important civics course in our senior year at Miami Senior High School in Miami Florida in 1968. My teacher was a retired Army officer and her teacher was a bleeding heart liberal. We did not realize how important this course was until we began paying attention to the direction of the political climate in America, most noticeable during the Obama administration when he stated that "he was going to fundamentally change America". We knew what he was referring to by both his actions and inactions. This change will continue to be implemented by the Democratic party until the transition is completed. We can no longer rely on the voting process to effect change in this country. The Democrats will not move forward to correct the voting process because it will impact their ability to stuff the ballot box. It is amazing that the Republican party had several opportunities to correct this debacle but chose to remain silent. Any time I mention this course to friends and neighbors I am met with the deer in headlights response. I have Cuban relatives that immigrated into the US during the late 50's to early 60's. My parents sponsored them, housed them at our home, got them jobs and housing in a few months after arrival. I did have some cousins from Cuba, so I have heard the horror stories first hand of the Castro regime. They are all deceased by now. So to the best of memory, just about all of the tenets of Communism have been completed. This is the most concerning time in our nations history and I don't believe we can educate enough people going forward to make any changes for our future. So, how do we get the word out and effect change throughout the country? There have been a few conservative leaders that have been willing or possibly have the knowledge to bring Communism to the forefront of media publication. I have been searching for an original copy of the textbook for years, but have been unable to find one. Only been able to find excerpts on the internet. Thanks for publishing this. Victor and Ruth Hawa

Second Comment

I totally agree with Victor's comments. I took the 'Americanism vs Communism' in 9th grade, at Tyrone Jr High in St. Petersburg, FL, I think in 1962. That one course has stuck with me all these years. I heard Obama's comment about his changing America and his other one that has stuck with me, "You didn't make that...". I believe those two comments are fundamentally changing the working environment we see today. I'm still working full time in a grocery store deli at 75. It saddens me to see the attitude of our young people. Since COVID-19 and Biden's multiple handouts, people have become greedy with easy money. Businesses are being forced to raise their wages, to attract new hires, which in turn causes them to charge more for everything they either produce or sell. As one of the loyal essential workers who stayed during the shutdown, we are finally getting pay increases, but only because the new people are starting at a higher wage than our previous pay level. I am afraid many of the younger generation will be attracted to socialism because they have loss sight of the benefits of capitalism and our Freedom. Schools have gradually slid away from teaching Civics, America's history, Geography along with the basic reading, writing cursive and old fashion arithmetic. It is my opinion, if our Astronauts used common core math, they, if they could have taken off, would have been lost in space with the added intricacies with that stupid system. I feel sad for the future of America. Our American style of a Democratic Republic has allowed us 246 years of progress. I know of no type of Socialism nor Communism that can say the same!
