As an 84-year-old man, it is hard to comprehend how America has changed so much in a few decades, especially in how people now perceive the precious rights and liberties granted us by our Founding Fathers when they drew up the greatest Constitution in the world.

Even after this election, we face the possibility that socialism, Communism and other crazy ideas, which have permeated so many minds in America, could present a threat to our beloved America.

In 2018, radio talk show host Jeff Rense wrote that “about 27 of the 45 Communist goals on the original list have or are being achieved in America.” A quick study of the list should convince anyone that he is correct. One can easily see that they have taken over many of America’s institutions, including a major political party and most of the news media.

With the Joe Biden-Kamala Harris team winning the elec- tion, America is still in great danger. That is because too many people already have been trained to follow the 42nd Communist goal, which states that “violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition.”

Of course, that it false.

Goal 42 also states that “students and special-interest groups should rise up and use (united force) to solve economic, political or social problems.”

Some people have purposely forgotten the history of socialist-Communist nations that lined up property owners, dispossessed them of homes and business and murdered millions.

These followers of socialism in America would do that to us, too. They already have demonstrated their heartlessness.
