Harvesting Our Rotten Fruit

For years liberals of all stripes from socialists to communists to all out fascists have been planting seeds in our society. It became clear to them in the early part of this century that America was not quite ready for the revolutions that swept their fellow travelers into power across the globe in places like Russia, Germany, France and Italy. Something about the right of the people to keep and bear arms still being believed in at the time put serious kinks into that plan. So they opted for a more subtle approach on America's shores.

Their approach amounted to what was the original "Operation Chaos" where the goal was to sow enough seeds that would bear enough rotten fruit and cause enough pain, suffering and ultimately chaos and then blame the results not on their policies that caused these things but on free-markets, liberty and everything America once stood for. Well, it has worked. We now have orchards full of bad apples, vineyards full of sour grapes, and many other types of rotten produce from these seeds sown years ago that are ready to be harvested today. Now liberals are merrily walking among the trees picking them one by one.

It has taken a while, but the biggest harvest of all is ready to be presented to us. We have had smaller harvests over the years but none this large. Even though it looked at times like Americans would turn their noses up at being handed such unsavory sustenance, the nation kept turning back to those that planted and tended these crops.

At one time the farm they now tend had been abandoned entirely as settlers to the New World learned quickly that the rotten fruit of economic collectivism was not palatable, lead to shortages, suffering and societal collapse. But then, many years later, others found this discarded tract of land.
