History Unlearned Is History Repeated (Videos)
“When change is absolute there remains no being to improve and no direction is set for possible improvement: and when experience is not retained, as among savages, infancy is perpetual. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”
Those were the words of a man named George Santayana (16 December 1863 in Madrid, Spain – 26 September 1952), a philosopher, essayist, poet and novelist in one of his works titled, “The Life of reason.”
In a recent post titled, Americans Are Embracing the Tyranny Our Founders Fought to Reject, I gave examples of where today’s Americans are deliberately taught a version of history that is devoid of many painful lessons history SHOULD have taught us, among those lessons should have been that socialism DOES NOT work.
Today’s current state of America is a total disgrace to every American that has ever come before us, most of all to every American that has ever fought, died, or bled for the rights the current generation of Americans is throwing away out pure ignorance.
LETS EXAMINE THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS:
1. What is the difference between today’s Democrats, and Socialists?
2. Why are people attracted to an idea that has resulted in almost 100 million dead human beings, and never worked anywhere it’s ever been implemented?
3. Obama and other liberals say we need to get away from “failed policies of the past,” and embrace these “new ideas.” How can we believe liberal ideas are really the failed policies of the past?
4. Why doesn’t Socialism work? It sounds so good!

1. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DEMOCRATS AND SOCIALISTS?
Before proving to you that there is no difference between Socialism or Communism, and the vision today’s Democrats have for America, rather than speculate on what Democrats think, why not first go right to the head of the Democrat Party and ask DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz? In the video below, after being asked several days prior to the following exchange what the difference between a Democrat and a Socialist is (giving her a chance between both times she was asked to come up with a B.S. response), when she was asked the second time in the video below, she STILL cannot answer. Somehow she winds up blaming Republicans? Go figure!

Ok, for those who don’t think very highly of DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz (myself included), why not ask the presumptive Democrat nominee for President of the United States. Surely anyone running for the most powerful office on the planet can answer the question right?
Hillary Clinton Can’t Explain The Difference Between A Socialist

What do you know? It’s Republicans fault again that a Democrat can’t answer the question? Wow. Go figure! In the video, Hillary calls to herself a “progressive who likes to get things done,” and it’s those pesky Republicans always getting in the way. True or not, that still doesn’t answer the question. Would you like to know why neither of them can answer?
How about PROOF that today’s Democrats are following a blueprint to DESTROY the United States that was laid out in the 1950’s during the height of the Cold War in a book titled “The Naked Communist,” written by Cleon Skousen? Here is a list of all 45 goals intended to DESTROY this country.
Notice they are identical to the Democrat platform of today. Also notice the ones in Red that Democrats have already achieved. Then ask anyone voting for a Democrat why they are voting for our own destruction?
Today, any Bernie Sanders rally will prove how liberals (or honest politicians like Sanders who at least have the conviction to call themselves SOCIALIST), have convinced young people that Socialist/Communist buzzwords like, “social justice,” or “fair,” or “economic justice,” or any other variance of those words sound appealing. Why don’t people know that NONE of these ideas are a good idea because they have NEVER worked before anywhere in history?
2. WHY ARE PEOPLE ATTRACTED TO AN IDEA THAT HAS RESULTED IN ALMOST 100 MILLION DEAD HUMAN BEINGS JUST LAST CENTURY ALONE, WHEN IT HAS NEVER WORKED ANYWHERE IT’S EVER BEEN IMPLEMENTED?
Simply put: They don’t know any better! The top down command and control management structure of the American education system that disseminates it’s failed ideology down to the local public indoctrination centers… sorry… I mean public schools… flows down to the schools by edict from the ultra-liberal Department of Indoctrination in Washington D.C… excuse me again… I meant to say Department of Education.
The lack of accurate history being fed to Americans is largely to blame for the suicide of a superpower we are witnessing today with the end of the American Empire.

3. HOW CAN WE BELIEVE THAT IT’S LIBERAL IDEAS THAT ARE THE FAILED POLICIES OF THE PAST?
Listen to what Ronald Reagan said over FIFTY YEARS AGO in 1961. In the following speech, Ronald Reagan warned the public of socialism, and how it can creep in slowly. His words ring eerily true today, in my opinion even more true today than ever before in this country’s history.
This audio was aired by Glenn Beck on his radio program on 8/28/09. It is happening, people. It is happening right now. Please put the party loyalty aside, either party, and look at the facts. How did Ronald Reagan know ALL this would happen? Because it’s been tried OVER AND OVER, and it has always failed.

Thanks to lies from liberals, Americans have been duped into believing the lie that if they give up a little freedom, they can have more security. Benjamin Franklin once said, “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.” He was right. The following video is a speech given by Ronald Reagan 55 years ago, but he might as well be speaking today. In it, he says:
“In 1927, Norman Thomas, six-time presidential candidate for the Socialist Party of America said, ‘The American people would never vote for Socialism, but under the name of liberalism, the American people will adopt every fragment of the socialist program.’
There are many ways in which our government has invaded the precincts of private citizens, and their method of earning a living, but right now I’d like to talk about another way, because right now it’s with us, and more imminent.
One of the traditional methods of imposing statism or socialism on a people has been by way of medicine. The reason being, it’s very easy to disguise a medical program as a ‘humanitarian project.’ Most people are a little reluctant to oppose anything that suggests medical care for those who cannot afford it.”
SOUND FAMILIAR?
4. WHY DOESN’T SOCIALISM WORK? IT SOUNDS SO GOOD!
In the following video, Milton Friedman explains why socialism never works. In the video he says it PERFECTLY, when he refers to the RECORD OF HISTORY, something deliberately not being taught today, in an effort to dupe Americans into willfully succumbing to a state of tyranny. Friedman says:
“The record of history is absolutely crystal clear, that there is no alternative way so far discovered of improving the lot of the ordinary people, that can hold a candle to the productive activity unleashed by a free enterprise system.”

Milton Friedman (July 31, 1912 – November 16, 2006) was an American economist who received the 1976 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences for his research on consumption analysis, monetary history and theory and the complexity of stabilization policy.
Friedman was an advisor to Republican U.S. President Ronald Reagan and Conservative British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. His political philosophy extolled the virtues of a free market economic system with minimal intervention. He once stated that his role in eliminating U.S. conscription was his proudest accomplishment.
When history becomes forgotten or is not taught, then it becomes a history to be repeated. Such is the case over time.
“Once there was a Great Nation….” wrote Gary Rekstad for an historical abstraction; editing it further, a summary is reproduced here for you to read and speculate which nations’ story is being told?
“Once there was a Great Nation—founded by the pilgrims who decided to leave their own country, which didn’t encourage freedom of religion or freedom of speech. They migrated to an uncivilized land inhabited only by savages. The rock where they landed was to become a national shrine. They drove off the natives, built rude shelters and houses of worship, meanwhile setting aside a special day to give thanks. These pilgrims—all stern, austere men—believed in their God, but they also believed in work. They established schools under religious leaders that, in a way, became the first public, free education in the world.
“While the rest of the world chuckled, the pilgrims persevered. Intolerant of wrongdoing, they used the gallows to punish criminals. In their day-to-day activities they had no patience for the weak and degenerate, who, if pampered, becomes the cancer of a nation.
“These pilgrims engaged in trade and commerce as their community grew and became moderately prosperous.
“Other colonists came and established communities, and some of the noblest words ever written began to surface. Facades of our modern government buildings bear some of the legends written back then: ‘liberty,’ ‘justice,’ ‘freedom of worship.’
“Then one of the older nations sent tax agents to exploit the colonists. The colonists sent their greatest men as representatives to a general assembly, choosing a gentleman farmer as their leader. He united them and shook off the shackles of oppression as they won the fight against the ‘old world.’ That farmer is known as the ‘father of his country.’ Today, a famous U.S. city is named after him.
“Ultimately, a civil war divided the fledgling country. Its leader, who tried to keep the republic united, was assassinated. His murder immortalized by a famous playwright. The nation rose to become a world power.
“Eventually, many of the nations’ politicians became ambitious for power, making deals with leaders of important factions.
“The republic became entangled with foreign alliances. These alliances brought wars and the wars brought taxes. The citizens didn’t seem to mind as they wanted security and since this also increased trade and industry, and they were told these new taxes only affected the rich.
“Farmers petitioned for price supports and the government bought up crops and stored them in warehouses. Industrialists were next at asking for tax benefits.
“Finally, the government became all-powerful. It guaranteed to protect the people from all forces of nature. Taxation grew and grew. Bureaucracy thrived by providing free housing, free food, and free entertainment.
“The middle class declined under the added tax burdens. Crime became so commonplace that it was dangerous to walk the streets at night. A crippled man led the nation into more wars and foreign entanglements.
“A general, who had been victimized by the government, pleaded with the nation to return to the principles of the founding fathers. The people scoffed, and he died, bitterly in anguished thoughts.
“An honest senator dared to speak out for a halt to foreign aid and foreign subversion that drained away the people’s money. He was scoffed as a reactionary.
“The nation fell deeper into debt. It joined a league of the world with enemies that exploited it; increased taxes to send wheat to its enemies; devalued its currency, substituting base materials for silver in its coins.”
Of course, you easily deduced that this summary is of Ancient Rome.

I’ve skipped some lines to bring you those that are facts of history. Rekstad had concluded that the nation—Rome—was totally corrupt, its middle class dead. The barbarians moved in and destroyed civilization. So the government opens our borders with resettlement plans in our towns and pays the cost by taxing the people for its social funding.
The parallel to our own history is uncanny, such that one wonders if we can avoid those last couple of sentences – even as our national debt is $19 trillion.
The rock where those first Romans landed is called the pilgrim’s rock—foundation of the Temple of Jupiter.
The gentleman farmer was Cincinnatus; the assassinated leader Julius Caesar; the crippled leader Caligula; the general Mark Anthony; and the honest Senator Cicero. And Shakespeare is the English playwright who dramatized Caesar’s death.
Nations, like men, are sometimes said have their own destiny and should not be indifferent to their beginnings; how do you think our nation’s story will finish?
