Josef Stalin Quote 

"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."

Reader comments about this quote:
I think this is almost prophetic considering what has happened in the USA these last forty-five years or so. The erosion of Americans' patriotism, morality and spiritual life all began in the 1960s with the protests over the war in Vietnam, the anti-establishment (hippie) movement and the 1963 Supreme Court case that removed prayer from schools. (Note: Atheist, Madalyn Murray O'Hair, originally brought that case against her son's, school. That son, Bill became a Christian years ago and leads a Christian foundation that helps oppressed Christians in Russia and elsewhere.) Things have only gotten worse since then with the rise of the practice and widespread acceptance of sex outside of marriage, abortion, homosexual behavior and pornography. The more we abandon the standards of the Bible and the one, true God who created us, the greater chaos we bring upon our country and ourselves. The founders of this great country based our laws on Judeo-Christian principles. But, these are being challenged every day by the ACLU and others who work for one nation under MAN, instead of one nation under God. If they succeed in erradicating God's laws from our lives, we will witness our own demise and ultimately be ruled by tyrants.

Seig Hiel!

Somehow, even then he wrecked up millions of people's lives who did not support him (and also there were some who did), I would have to agree with Stalin. No would really have to argue with the guy from Troy, Michigan at this point.

Don't know that its so prophetic as it is a simple study of natural law through history. The US founders discovered natural law through Judeo-Christian history but it can be equally found through most major religions teachings and experiences. Logan explained this very well just the other day. I happen to be very Christian in belief (probably not so much in action) and understand how those laws promote charity, love of fellow man, prosperity for all, patriotism, morality, and spirituality. To pass codes, rules, ordinances, statutes, etc contrary to law fulfills Stalin's aspirations. Democracy, fascism, malefactor oligarchies, and all other forms of despotism and tyranny are recognized when America's originally principled patriotism, morality, and spirituality are subdued.

And it happened on our watch. Great subject for my Saturday morning radio program. We broadcasts from WEZS 1350AM and stream live at wezs.com The Advocates 8:05-Noon Eastern. My self-financed program has been on since 1997. Niel Young bnyoung@metrocast.net

As for this quote,we could say that each person is a healthy body and their resistance is 3 fold and if these 3 areas are compromised,the Individual will collapse from within.
 -- Me Again		 
Had generally known that Stalin was an evil man and this shows him to be also hightly intelligent and incisive. For him to want to collapse healthy bodies is sick indeed. I disagree that he was prophetic, after all it is his empire that crumpled not ours and I guess from the grave he would admit that it was Americas healthy body of patriotism, morality, and spirtual life that did him in.

What is the source of this quote? I can't find it anywhere except on conservative blogs.
 -- BP, DC		 
He ought to know -- he killed millions of his own people after their own patriotism, families, and spiritual lives were weakened. It is gradually happening in the US. It all starts with the idea that the individual is subservient to the mob.

The only thing I want to know concerns E.K., the first respondant. Why do you think the VNam protests eroded patriotism, morality and spiritual life? I am so right-wing I'm off the scale, and I think those protests were VERY patriotic (in principle, but NOT by the NVA-flagwaving leftist bunch), and were against an immoral war. Stalin would be proud of how DC kept us in that useless, pointless war, run mostly by McNamara, who wrote that he was a computer guy who didn't have a clue of what he was doing.

He forgot three others; independence, courage, and freedom. In actual fact he provided unwittingly, the three that would be our downfall, unless of course that's what he meant - silly me...

Patriotism, morality, and spiritual life. The 3 basic building blocks shoring up the truth of freedom WITH responsibility, Spirituality is the first attack resulting in loss of faith in ones creator, No creator-no morality, and no morality creates limp wristed lip service patriots who are useless to all who are striving to right the injustice in the U.S, today. Our forefathers reminded us of this over and over and the controlled media suppressed it jst as fast as they said it. This quote could be attributed to any one of the New World Orderers past or present
 -- Dan Arthur, Ireland - U.S. by birth		 
The enemies of America know that they can't destroy her by force of arms. We are much too powerful. We can only be destroyed from within. So then it is up to us to determine our own future. Will we remain morally strong, or will we crumble? We were built on the backs of our fathers who were honorable, noble, and moral. We owe it to them to be the same type of people, as well as owing it to future generations to give them the same quality of life that we have enjoyed.
 -- Ken, Milford Pa		 
He must have been aquainted with Roger Baldwin, the founder of ACLU. He said basicaly the same thing only he added screwing up the leagal system also.

Communism is no longer in Russia or Eastern Europe...but thanks to the few loud mouth clueless liberals, mostly from Cali, its here, in America.
 -- Genna, Oceanside		 
Stalin was right on (for once). However, he had only to look at the fall of the Roman Empire to see it clearly. Based on Stalin, the U.S. doesn't have a very promising future.

I too would like to know the source of this "quote", since I have only seen it in connection with Right Wingnuts... Could it be another one of those right wing manufactured quotes?? Hmmm??
 -- Chas, Wichita, KS		 
Exactly, Chas. Where is the source for this quote? Communists like Stalin talk about "morality" all the time, so I'd be very surprised if he said this in these terms.
 -- NotStupid, Tampa, Florida		 
Shut up chas, your the type of idiot that tries to implant thought into peoples heads to make a feeble attempt to get them to question what they believe, so don't be an asshole!
 -- d, g		 
Chas, Stalin said this when he was explaining his evil plot to James Bond, just before he strapped him to the circular saw.
 -- Anonymous, Clacton, Essex		 
he didnt say that
 -- David, kampen		 
Fake quote.
