Secretary of Ag Benson, Americas fall to communism

Ezra Taft Benson, Dwight Eisenhower's Secretary of Agriculture:

“I have talked face to face with the godless communist leaders. It may surprise you to learn that I was host to Mr. Kruschev for a half day when he visited the United States, not that I’m proud of it. I opposed his coming then, and I still feel it was a mistake to welcome this atheistic murderer as a state visitor. But, according to President Eisenhower, Kruschev had expressed a desire to learn something of American Agriculture — and after seeing Russian agriculture I can understand why. As we talked face to face, he indicated that my grandchildren would live under communism. After assuring him that I expected to do all in my power to assure that his and all other grandchildren will live under freedom he arrogantly declaired in substance:

“ ‘You Americans are so gullible. No, you won’t accept communism outright, but we’ll keep feeding you small doses of socialism until you’ll finally wake up and find you already have communism. We won’t have to fight you. We’ll so weaken your economy until you’ll fall like overripe fruit into our hands.’

Son, go buy a calendar.




It's 2008.

Exactly how blind do you choose to be, Kolo? In a few months, we'll have a Socialist in the White House, courtesy of sheep like you. Kruschev knew exactly what he was talking about.

Call it what you want, but I will not sit quietly while our constitution is trampled on and the left spoon feeds us one bite of socialism at a time. I will give our new president a chance to leed from the center like his supporters claim he will, but at the same time I will prepare for whatever is to come. The constitution wasn't based on ideals, it was lessons learned from history, the concepts are the same today as they were then. All this change isn't new, it's been tried before. The problem is that most of America won't look at history. Make no mistake, I would prefer for things to be settled peacefully, I pray they do, but I won't allow the America that was built with blood to be lost.

Ben, Our constitution hasn't already been trampled on???? Basic responsibilities: Legislative branch- pass laws for the benefit of country; Judicial Branch- make sure those laws are constitutional; Executive branch- See that the laws passed are carried out.
We have laws on the books concerning immigration that have been conveniently overlooked for the benefit of big business. Big business is what you have to worry about they buy the politicians thereby getting them to "overlook" such minor things as previous laws. Thank goodness some of the states are taking the matter into their own hands via their state laws. Just one example.

I never said it already hasn't been trampled on, but things could get much worse, we need a reverse in direction before it's too late. Fortunately we still have a document to be our guidance.

This hand-wringing about a socialist takeover is nothing new. FDR faced the same criticisms and he was elected four times and is considered by most to be in the top five U.S. Presidents.

I highly doubt that Obama will or would be able to reshape the federal government on the scale that FDR did.

Some of you ammo burying wingnuts need to realize that we already have a mixed economic and political system and always will.

As for me, a tilt toward social democracy would be just fine. Sweden, Norway, and Denmark consistently rank very highly on quality of life indicators and they are far more socialist then we are.
