Back in the late 1950s and into the early 60s, the American Medical Association (AMA) tried to warn us about socializing medicine. The Democrats had developed a scheme to try to extend social security into the medical world, particularly for seniors. Later, the scheme would be called Medicare. The AMA called the campaign to stop socialized healthcare “Operation Coffee Cup,” and they enlisted some famous support to help them spread the word about socialized medicine. Their spokesperson’s name was Ronald Reagan, and Operation Coffee Cup would launch his political involvement. In fact, 50 years before the Obama Presidency, Ronald Reagan warned us about Obamacare!

The recorded radio address is logical and heartfelt, and we today know the truth of what a younger Ronald Reagan was predicting some 50+ years ago. The first paragraph of his speech in the video below is particularly enlightening, “Now back in 1927 an American socialist, Norman Thomas, six times candidate for president on the Socialist Party ticket, said the American people would never vote for socialism. But he said under the name of liberalism the American people will adopt every fragment of the socialist program.” Isn’t this exactly what we’ve seen in recent years?
The Democrat Party, under the guise of liberalism, has been forcing through socialist programs and legislation that if honestly presented, the American people would find abhorrent. However, because so many of our fellow citizens are unaware of the socialist nature of these programs and laws, they simply accept the media driven narrative that these things are mainstream political issues. Nothing could be further from the truth. Today’s liberalism is simply shadow socialism.
