Back in Texas, we used the analogy of “how to boil a frog” … You can’t just throw him directly into a pot of boling water – You’ve got to put him in a cool pot of water and slowly turn up the heat until he is DONE!
A PROPHETIC 1944 SPEECH
Norman Mattoon Thomas (November 20, 1884 – December 19, 1968), was a leading American socialist, pacifist, and six-time presidential candidate for the Socialist Party of America. In a now famous 1944 speach, he is quoted as saying:
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of “liberalism,” they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” He went on to say: “I no longer need to run as a Presidential Candidate for the Socialist Party.
BTW, I heard, without a lid on the pot, even a frog is smart enough to jump out of the water before it’s cooked?
I am now certain that 52% of Americans have less intelligence than frogs.
Yes [52%]?…I hope the 46% (57 mil) of us who voted against American-socialsm will get back some of the 52% in the 2010 mid-terms before we’re all cooked in the redistributionist stew!
