Stop Communism

Stop Communism

Some people, like me, notice communism embedding in our society. More U.S. citizens need to be alerted to the fact, so I provide this link: “‘Communism Doesn’t Work’: Chilling Video Warning To America From East German Survivor”.

After watching the video, similarities arise about what is occurring in our country as to East Germany under communism: government controls manufacturing (started here with a car manufacturing plant); controls banking practices (mandates loans, mortgages and foreclosures, ); and is implementing a nationwide healthcare program.

Also, food, education and alternative medicine choices are being attacked. Communists want to control agriculture, so they need and will try to take our property. Communists want to raise our children to their way of thinking by eliminating homeschooling, since their propaganda can be taught (and, my opinion, is being taught) to our children in public schools. Young adults are being indoctrinated into communism by educators in colleges; now, some of these students are pawns in the OWS [Occupy Wall Street] movement. Communists don’t want you healing yourselves with alternative medicines, since they prefer your dollars going to prescription medicines, of which, they, too, govern.

Countrymen and women…we are puppets, continually being manipulated by communists and socialists in authoritative positions. Our whole way of life is being scrutinized and reformed. We are victims to progressing communism. Can’t you see? Communists want us living in a “sustainable” way…their way!

Seeds of communism were planted years ago. Those seeds have become weeds in our freedom-loving society. How do we stop from becoming one of the weeds?

If we don’t stop the spread of communism, stop the planters, we will be enslaved in a “collective” society. We will be nothing more than labor mules for a dictator. That’s if we’re lucky. If we do not conform ( be “reeducated”), we can be killed.  If we are a burden – considered of no use to this society – we can be eliminated. We will be minnows to sharks.

Like a snake, communism’s body slithers among us. Whatever concerned citizens have been doing, legally, to stop this serpent,  is not working.

Our Constitution seems but discarded toilet paper for the communist-minded. Our individual rights seem but wastes being flushed away. Our religious beliefs seem but feces in the face of communism.

Yes, our way of life is poisoned by the venomous injection of communism.

So, how do we stop communism?

Confront communism, head-on!

That doesn’t mean take up arms and revolt, but rather, be boldly opinionated and take strong actions to hinder the communistic cesspool sprawl. Hindrance can lead to stoppage. Plug the drain, so to say.

I’m not ingrained by communism, so I’m not like one of weeds infesting this nation. And I’m not like a minnow, to flee or succumb to the sharks. I’m more like an eagle…an eagle that would grasp a poisonous snake and crush its slithery body; then, chomp its head off.

Hopefully, communism can be crushed before our republic is totally dominated by it. For that to happen, we must stand together…peacefully or aggressively…whatever it takes.

I love to doodle, so doodled an eagle and snake, then scanned and digitally manipulated and enhanced using photo editing software. “Stop Communism” Copyright 2012 Patricia Spork artwork (further below) inspired this blog post. Think I’ll use image as background here. If you like the picture and you’re not a “commie” or socialist, you’re welcome to download the image to your computer and use it for Non-Commercial Personal Use Only as long as it’s not used in slanderous, libelous or pornographic way.

Anyhoo, ranted long enough. More fun things to do now, so outta here…

Stay free, stay strong!

Arthur Rackham Frogs

The two black and white (B&W) images below are frog illustrations by Arthur Rackham, who is one of my favorite artists. Both images were selected from Aesop’s Fable – A New Translation by V.S. Vernon Jones, published in 1912.

Free Download! To download images, right click on each and save to your computer.

This first B&W image, I believe, is titled “The King’s Log” and complemented the fable “The Frogs Asking for a King“:

The King's Log by Arthur Rackman

Here’s the artwork I derived from the image above. I entitled it “Frog Night Fun,” since the frogs look like they are having a grand time frolicking in the dark. Wild, huh? Looks better as larger image – make out more details. How ya like those frogs with red lips? Heheheh.

Frog Night Fun

Now, here’s the other Arthur Rackham frog illustration, of which I don’t know the title, but it complemented the “The Ox and The Frog” fable:

Arthur Rackham Art

And from that image, I derived this one that I entitled “Gramps Storytime” because the big frog reminds me of a granddaddy telling a story to his grandson, the little frog. In the fable, the big “old” frog puffs up so big, it explodes. Sad, but true, and kind of funny, too. LOL!

Gramps Storytime

I know, you’re wondering why all the green. Well, I like green. :0) And, green looks good on frogs, and around frogs, and under frogs, and etc., etc….

Okay, that’s enough for now. Hope you enjoy my “digital frolic” and the free downloads, all Public Domain images, even mine – the “color” artwork by Patricia Spork that I release to the Public Domain. :0)
