A number of things had to be done in order for the USSR to come into being: 1. The media must be controlled to preach the party line to the masses. 2. Guns had to be taken out of the hands of the masses. 3. Wealth must be taken from the rich and controlled by the state. (Let's call this taking from the rich and giving to the NEEDY) 4. Organized religion must be suppressed and discouraged. (the government will give us this day our daily bread) 5. Maintain strict control over schools' and universities' curriculum. 6. Initially, the military must be weakened until the party can take control of it. 7. All critical services (medical  etc.) must be controlled by the state. 8. The population must be made totally dependant on the government (this provides a means to control them). I can go on, but you get the idea. Doesn't this sound familiar? Can't people see what the liberals are doing? The USSR was an experiment in government that didn't work. It took them over 70 years to discover the error and they still haven't been able to repair the damage! Watching the course we're apparently taking sure scares me! Citizens need to become aware of what is being jammed down their throats by Obama & Co. The "workers' utopia" thing has been tried over and over. It DOESN'T WORK! I'm a retired USAF veteran who served 3 years in Berlin. This country is starting to remind me of what I used to see on the other side of the wall. No, this administration is no friend to the military. They may not be very friendly to anyone who believes in the Constitution.
