The Sixth of November

by Winslow

Remember, remember, this sixth of November,
The radicals' treasonous plot.
I know of no reason the radicals' treason
Should e'er be forgiv'n or forgot.

The Sixties were waning, and Leftists were claiming
That radical changes were due.
Their Marxist solution was armed revolution:
The Weathermen made their debut.

The radicals raged on the national stage, and
Horrific explosions ensued.
Their bombs were dramatic, but also erratic;
They sometimes killed radicals, too.

The Leftists grew older, the underground, colder,
And so they came in from the cold.
"Subvert from within -- in the long run, we'll win," said
The Leftists, determined and bold.

And thus it began -- this nefarious plan -- and
The radicals slowly took charge:
Complete infiltration of all education;
The long institutional march.

The journalist schools would produce useful fools, for
The Left would need media shills.
And Hollywood, too, would assist in the coup, with
Its slick propagandizing skills.

"Community action" would build a new faction;
'Twould organize proles on the street.
A smooth politician would front for the mission,
And run for the president's seat.

The radicals' goal, which they proudly extol, is
A communist U.S. of A.
Collectivist schemes lead to brutal regimes, and
For this do the radicals pray.

But Jefferson's aim, with the charters he framed, was
To guard individual rights.
And "redistribution" was not a solution,
But one of the evils to fight.

So let us remember, this sixth of November,
Just what is at stake on this date.
Will Jefferson's dream, or the radicals' scheme, now
Determine America's fate?

#3  It's a re-working of the British rhyme about the Guy Fawkes gunpowder plot on November the 5th.
