Coexistence [with communism] is a contradiction of terms because it means trying to coexist with world conquest, which is impossible. One must resist or be conquered.
Communist morals follow a simple formula. Anything which promotes the communist cause is good; anything which hinders it is bad.
Fighting Communism, Socialism, and the subversion of constitutional government is everybody’s job. And working for the expansion of freedom is everybody’s job.
Free peoples require alert, aggressive leadership and a socially and politically conscious citizenry. This is not easily maintained, but it is the price of freedom.
Freedom can move in only one direction at a time. If a man has ten dollars and chooses to spend it on a night of celebration he has thereby lost the freedom to spend that same ten dollars on some new clothes. Once the choice is made, a person is not free to avoid the consequences of that choice.
If America's wealth were spread around the world it would soon be dissipated, but if her system of free government and free enterprise were spread around the world, nations would soon find them to be perpetual producers of wealth.
Middle-class values, of course, are represented by the Constitutional concepts of limited government, states rights, rights of property, a competitive economy, the solving of problems on the local level if possible and, in any event, with a minimal of government meddling.
Power from any source tends to create an appetite for additional power. Power coming from wealth tends to create an appetite for political power and visa versa. It was almost inevitable that the super-rich would one day aspire to control not only their own wealth, but the wealth of the whole world.
Remind professional pacifists who have accepted the paralyzing peace propaganda of the Communists that the same Jesus who taught "love thy enemy" never advocated surrendering to him.
Said he, 'We never fight the people we trade with.' I thought to myself, 'Well, we certainly had to fight Japan in spite of all the oil and scrap iron we sold her just before World War II.' It did not seem possible that this famous international banker would have forgotten such an elementary lesson so quickly.
The modern student of history and economics will have little difficulty discovering for himself where Communist theory departs from the most elementary aspects of reality.
The tragedy in all of this is the simple fact that the average tax-paying American was not given an honest and genuine choice. The voter finds himself enduring one party long enough to witness a whole series of travesties and then switches to the other party thinking he will get a substantial reversal of policy. But he doesn't.
When you run across dedicated Socialists, remember that the only difference between a Socialist and a Communist is in the method of takeover. The desire to seize monolithic control of society is the same in both.
