"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."

by:
 Norman Thomas
(1884-1968) six-time U.S. Presidential candidate for the Socialist Party of America
 
Source:
 1948 - from an interview during the presidential campaign

That same theory was stated by Stalin I believe. Except he said that socialism would be "spoon fed" to the american people so slowly that they wouldn't have to have a war to do it and we would all wake up one day and it would be done.
The U. S. Constitution doesn't guarantee happiness, only the pursuit of it. You have to catch up with it yourself. Benjamin Franklin

Let's not let those prophecies come true.
Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.
