I am quite sure y'all are looking at the title to this missive and asking, what is the ol' Colonel talking about? Well, bear with me, please. We can recall the maxim of Chinese communist leader Mao Tse-Tung alluding to the "long slow march" towards communism. We know that this insidious and murderous ideology was first introduced to the world by one Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in their book, "The Communist Manifesto." Here in America, communists introduced themselves into our country with the clever marketing rebranding of "progressive." They at one point even went so far as to abscond with the misappropriated label of "liberals." Of course, the Father of Classical Liberalism, John Locke, would be utterly appalled to know that Marxists had kidnapped his philosophy — well, just the title, but none of his principles. Marxists believe that they should have complete power, control, and domination of the life, liberty, and property of the individual. As a matter of fact, they have vehement disregard and disdain for the individual, as Mamdani said, "We will replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism."

How did we get to this point?

Ahh, here is where the reasoning behind the title of this piece is to be revealed. It was just a short 18 years ago when an unaccomplished U.S. Senator, Barack Hussein Obama, a clear Marxist, gave his famed quote, "We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America," in Columbia, Missouri, right before the November 2008 presidential election. There should be no surprise that Obama would say such a thing; all the indicators and warnings were there, especially his emanating from Chicago, just like Saul Alinsky. But what was highly disconcerting was the response of the mindless lemmings, useful idiots, and, truthfully, an entire nation that did not stop and ask a simple question: "Transforming America to what?"

I remember the response from the Marxist leftist media that chided anyone who dared challenge Obama's assertion as racist. Nothing new there. See, the leftists had selected the perfect vessel to fully introduce Marxism into America, a skilled black rhetorician whom we certainly knew nothing about. We were not allowed to say anything, and some Republicans were simply too cowardly to speak out. And so this deadly cancer was fully injected into our........
