The so-called "Socialist Threat"

Socialism, capitalism, communism,
liberalism, conservatism, or other Isms
... cannot "hurt" this country.

Any who think socialism can hurt America,
is grossly underestimating our people.

Neither socialism nor other isms can touch us.
Faith, hope, and courage will conquer fear.

Cheap talk about socialism, terrorism,
Islamic fascism, weapons of destruction,
and the efficacy of torture... are a surrender

to fear. We refuse to surrender.

After eight years of nonsense, "Tension,
apprehension, and dissention have begun, "
... and "a change is gonna come."
