Whether they are called communists, socialist, fascist, imperialist, liberals, progressive or what ever, it makes no difference. What matters is that in the end the object is the same: the subversion of freedom and independence.
They may take a different tact and woo people to their cause with platitudes of noble purpose. It must be understood that the ends do not justify the means. For the means are what determine the ends. The ends are not the the objective that is so earnestly being sought. That is just a way-point. The ends are what the endeavor makes of us along the way. That is where the true devastation lay.
Freedom can only be had by a moral and responsible people. An amoral people cannot be free. A dependent population can not be free. Any movement, no matter the name, that replaces responsibility with security, that exchanges amorality for standards of civility, will go the way of all civilizations who have attempted to do so in in the past.
We as a nation must set and maintain standards by which to live. Do not mistake tolerance for promoting. Do not mistake freedom for irresponsibility. Do not forget for one moment that, while you can do what ever you want, you cannot be absolved the responsibility for your choices. No, America is free because enterprise and morality promotes freedom. Any endeavor to the contrary undermines it, no matter what the name.
