Brook Agnew, Ph.D. | The Rise of Socialism in America and Other Historical Facts | Part 1 of 2

From Mel: Communism, in terms of crude numbers, must be reckoned the most lethal ideology ever devised by human intelligence. The Atlantic slave trade killed 10 million people. The Nazis killed maybe 17 million people. Communism killed 100 million people. So, why is it acceptable to wear a Che Guevara T-shirt now? Why isn't that in the same moral category as wearing an Adolf Hitler T-shirt? Or an Osama bin Laden T-shirt? There is a socialist undercurrent growing in this country. Why am I so passionate about bringing this out in my own non-political platform? Because my family lived through it and I know the signs. And many are living through it today, and even though we have the media and images emanating from those, places warning us on a daily basis, we have professors infecting our youth with this ideology. This cancer is being harvested in our colleges and universities. The idea of socialism is being glorified; in fact, glamorized to young people. Socialism hasn't worked in the last 100 years despite 100 failed experiments. It's a disastrous ideology.

* The goal of socialism is communism.

* The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other peoples' money.

* Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy.

* Its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.

I don't want to hear more of what is politically correct. I want to see more of what is morally correct.
