Wood: The Communists Among Us

OK, watch out!

Having just spent a month in the former Soviet Union, specifically Russia and Ukraine, I’m going to say some things that many Americans won’t want to hear. But these things need to be said.

As the old saying goes, truth is the best medicine.

America is suffering because she has lost her love of freedom, internally, and the torch for freedom internationally. America will never be great again until we regain this focus, this passion, this love of freedom, and the will to spread it, support it, nurture it overseas. America will only regain her power when this torch is recovered.

In the Soviet Union, there were many evils. The main crime, which bred all others, was to extinguish the inner soul of a person-- to make him or her just like everyone else, to make him or her a slave to Big Brother, to kill the human spirit.

The human suffering continues. In fact, many of these old evils are returning in various forms. Many of the people are zombies, glued to the television and believing what they are told to believe. There is very little independent thinking. Those who want to be free, for the most part, have left.

At the end of the day, communism was nothing but a way to control others.
