Quote of the Day - Berlin Wall Edition

Twenty years ago I breathed a sigh of relief. I honestly thought that with the demise of the USSR and their lackey regimes in East Germany and elsewhere in Eastern Europe, we'd finally secured the world that would be safe and shining bright for my children.

Today I’m not sure at all. It was easier in 1974. There was a fence. One one side was us. On the other side were the enemy. Them. A line. Us. They wore different uniforms to make it easy.

Today, the enemy isn't on the other side of the line. The shining days I thought I'd secured for my children, those days are being torn away by a socialism administered by elites, as socialism always does. In East Germany, things were pretty darned pleasant if you were at the top, looking down at the people. For the people, though, it was grey, drab and hopeless.

That's the America that the Left has for us. Oh, you won't hear them actually SAY that, but that's because they're so wrapped up in the layers of sophistry and academic prose that they fail to read history, to see that such is the end of EVERY government that heads down the path our own Leftists are choosing.

I'm sitting here thinking how glad I was that the Warsaw Pact never crossed the line, and I'm doubting that the American Left has that much sense. -- Mostly Cajun, Reflections on a wall that isn't there
