Still trying to understand the enemy. Would appreciate comments on the following:
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>The real danger is not the communists. The formal communist party in America has been dead and a subject of ridicule for 45 years. Their work was done, quite successfully, and they had evolved into an empty, easily-ridiculed willing decoy. The seeds were planted when the radical left took over the higher educational system in this country by the middle 30s. That established a self-perpetuating system such that the formal communist party became tangential and irrelevant 20 years later. The real danger became, and is, the unaffiliated descendants of the communists who, like the students of the 60s, were told they were very middle of the road, and believed it, and would laugh in your face if you asked them if they were communists, or like the McNamaras who believed they were superior, intelligent, and sophisticated.
What was established many years ago was the equivalent of a computer virus. The program could be anything, but one which reproduces itself under a different name. The people infected with it don't understand they are infected, but are motivated by a purpose laid down before they were born. They have no idea what they are.
The communist party in the United States has been obsolete for 35 years as a result of the self-replicating system the radical left emplaced in the educational system more than 60 years ago. As nearly as I can determine by attitude polls, voting patterns, and espoused sociopolitical theoretical formulations, 35 percent of the American population believes in nearly everything the communists once believed without being members of, or ever had direct contact with, the communist party. Another 20 percent believe in half of it or aren't sure what they believe. Still another 20 percent are desperately striving to maintain their equilibrium in an increasingly left wing world.

Is the author correct? If so, what's the cure?

I stand before Almighty God and I'll say what I have said for years. I will never again soil my responsibility as a voter by voting again for a candidate who turns their back on the fundamental principle of justice by which this nation's freedom lives or dies. --Alan Keyes, 2/2/2000
