Ezra Taft Benson Quote

"I have personally witnessed the heart rending results of the loss of freedom. I have talked face to face with the Godless Communist leaders. It may surprise you to learn that I was host to Mr. Khrushchev for a half day when he visited the United States, not that I am proud of it. I opposed his coming then and I still feel it was a mistake to welcome this atheistic murderer as a state visitor. But according to President Eisenhower, Khrushchev had expressed a desire to learn something of American agriculture and after seeing Russian agriculture I can understand why. As we talked face to face he indicated that my grandchildren would live under communism. After assuring him that I expected to do all in my power to assure that his and all other grandchildren would live under freedom he arrogantly declared in substance - You Americans are so gullible. No, you won't accept communism outright but we'll keep feeding you small doses of socialism until you finally wake up and find you already have communism. We won't have to fight you. We'll so weaken your economy until you fall like overripe fruit into our hands."

Beck is reciting this same quote today, June 23, 2010. It is a valid point. Read also the communist goals of 1963, and see how far we have drifted to the reality espoused by Khrushchev. http://www.uhuh.com/nwo/communism/comgoals.htm

That is terrifying. My generation must be alert in the future.
