Very Interesting Quote

 A VERY PROPHETIC QUOTE     
    
    
  
Norman  Mattoon Thomas (November  20, 1884 - December 19, 1968) was a leading American  socialist, pacifist, and six-time presidential candidate  for the Socialist Party of  America.  

He was ordained as  a Presbyterian minister in  1911.    

As a candidate for  President of the U. S., Norman Thomas said, in a 1944  epoch speech:  
"The American  people will never knowingly adopt socialism.  But,  under the name of "liberalism", they will adopt every  fragment of the socialist program, until one day America  will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it  happened."   

He went on to  say:
"I no longer need  to run as a Presidential Candidate for the Socialist  Party.  The Democratic Party has adopted our platform."  
 

I came across this today, and with everything that has happened in the last few months, I found it very interesting.

Hopefully I will see some of you at the T.E.A. Party in Richland at John Dam Plaza tomorrow from 4-7 p.m.  It should be a lot of fun!
