While I don't agree with this entire article, given the source, I'm surprised with how much of it rings true.http://english.pravda.ru/opinion/col...n_capitalism-0

The most telling line from the article for me:

I've read this before, but still find it amazing that Russia is saying this and it's true.

My uncle gave me this article in a hard copy some months ago and I remember at the time wishing I had access to the forum, because my friends needed to see this. I'd forgotten about it, but ran across it last night, complete with web address. I was just hoping the address was still good. I implore you all to read it.

He who does not know history, is destined to repeat it.

I think the silent majority is beginning to wake up and realize what is happening to America. I hope it is still in time.

This is neat... I've spent the last hour trying to find my own thread. Apparently we don't even post moved links go the original Forum the thread was posted go anymore... I'd like to know why this was moved, and especially to here, as this is not a Constitutional post and does not deal with RKBA issues specifically, but the systematic erosion of all of our rights.

Thanks for the link. I've forwarded this to my contacts. I guess Pravda should know communism when they see it.

"He who does not know history, is destined to repeat it."

History never repeats itself, but it often rhymes. --Mark Twain

Actually, those who know history often make the opposite mistake. Viet Nam excepted. We still haven't learned that lesson, much less over-learned it.
