"If America forgets where she came from, if the people lose sight of what brought them along, if she listens to the deniers and mockers, then will begin the rot and dissolution."

-Carl Sandburg (1878-1967)

How Will America Sleep Tonight?

It all (and I mean everything) depends on how Congress slept last night. If 216 of them woke up on their Far-Left side this morning we will be...fundamentally transformed. We'll be sleepless in Seattle...well, maybe not in Seattle, but Americans will sleep less elsewhere. Hollywood will probably sleep well tonight, but they've supported Marxism since Che was a pup. Too many university faculties will sleep like babies: On Monday they'll continue to teach students that government can bring America the best sleep, food, jobs, health care, morals, parenting skills. Too many students will learn that the the government can provide everything...and will whether they like it or not, under penalty of the IRS. And too many students will grow into adulthood never knowing what America could be like, if only the government didn't provide everything....

I'm one of those generically guilt-ridden souls and that robs me of sleep. I think I could have done something more, something to help others pass on our traditional America. I should be excited to give my daughter what my parents gave me-what the Founders gave us all. Instead, I'm ashamed to have watched her future crumble, rather, that I've simply watched an ideology crumble her future. She might grow up to learn first hand what our Congress doesn't know: That like good and evil, capitalism creates and communism destroys. Does it really matter why? The sun rises in the east, sets in the west and further debate won't change that... Of course, we were forced to debate whether the sun or man makes the earth cooler and warmer until a hoax was uncovered, hmmm.... Can we debate the proven failures of communism some more or have our leaders decided it's just fine for America? I believe the majority of Americans will accept communism only when the sun rises over the Santa Monica Pier and sets on the Hudson.

Who slept better, historically speaking? Soviet citizens who had survived their government, or American citizens who had created their government? I know the Chinese now make all of our sleepwear, but who sleeps better...Americans who can change their government or Chinese who can only change the diaper of one baby before aborting any others. Do Cubans sleep better in Miami or Havana?

While I wasn't sleeping last night I composed a mental list of communist milestones during my lifetime, then I shortened it to my personal experience with communism, but that will be a future post...I have to wait for congress to see whether my last personal experience with communism was in 1990s Europe, or will it be here in my daughter's America, on 3/21/2010.
