In my teen to early 20's I loved the lion sleeps tonight by the Tokens....heard it the other day on an oldie station and then I remembered Obama in the white house and I swear it sounded like they were singing...."Ream-away....ream-away......"

“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.†- Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948
"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within." Stalin
