Dr. Burke spoke out against the [[Propaganda]] of his day, what he called the name-calling, new dangerous parlor game of "creeping socialism" that appeared in the late 50s-60s under influence of the [[Conservatism|John Birch Society]]. That game, a sort of baiting tactic that seeks to inflame emotion, has only escalated since then, leading to the current polarized situation in which "evidence-free" conspiracies predominate — from communism to sexism and racism.<br> | Dr. Burke spoke out against the [[Propaganda]] of his day, what he called the name-calling, new dangerous parlor game of "creeping socialism" that appeared in the late 50s-60s under influence of the [[Conservatism|John Birch Society]].

Certainly such things as communism, sexism and racism have been and still are problems within the USA, so the issue is not whether or not they are problems. The issue is how these problems are addressed. Dr. Burke always addressed such issues with well researched factual information and well reasoned response to such information. He did not traffic in [[Propaganda]], or any form of manipulation. He did not try to "defeat communism by thinking like a Communist"; in other words, he didn't think the US should fight fire with fire, should use dirty, underhanded totalitarian tactics against totalitarianism which would only make the US totalitarian too. Instead of fighting fire with fire, he responded to those who differed from his way of thinking with educational persuasion, not with name-calling to end discussion, lying, evasion, or outbursts of heated emotion or violence — which is what makes Dr. Burke the True [https://sites.google.com/site/dralberteburke/patriot Patriot] over and against those calling themselves "patriots" when they're not, who make "empty barrel" loud noise over "creeping socialism".<br> | Certainly such things as communism, sexism and racism have been and still are problems within the USA, so the issue is not whether or not they are problems.

Dr. Burke's way of thinking is most evident in his film [https://ia800207.us.archive.org/34/items/gov.archives.arc.647298/gov.archives.arc.647298_512kb.mp4 Cuba: The Battle of America]. In that film, he shows clearly how the cause of "creeping socialism" in foreign countries post World War II was (and still is) due to Corporate America's failure to practice concern for others, to "love thy neighbor as thyself" and to "do unto others as you would have others do unto you", thereby showing that Corporate America cares more about a pocket full of gold than [[wikipedia:Golden_Rule|The Golden Rule]]. Corporate America's exploitation of natural resources in other countries comes at the expense of the poor who live there, for whom assistance is the Christian duty of the men of Corporate America (blessed by God with wealth in great abundance. well above their own need for survival). Such exploitation is the cause of revolutions in those countries, that always seem to crop up under the banner of "communism" (or with the aid of communist Russia or China) because such revolutions are in opposition to the capitalist exploiters of Corporate America. | Dr. Burke's way of thinking is most evident in his film [https://ia800207.us.archive.org/34/items/gov.archives.arc.647298/gov.archives.arc.647298_512kb.mp4 Cuba: The Battle of America].

Dr. Burke voiced opposition to such mindless exploitation because he was a True [https://sites.google.com/site/dralberteburke/patriot Patriot] who cared about the environment of Earth, about the civil rights of indigenous people and minorities around the world, and about Americans and the USA, all of which and whom were, and are still apparently fair game for exploitation according to the Corporate American way of thinking.<br> | Dr. Burke voiced opposition to such mindless exploitation because he was a True [https://sites.google.com/site/dralberteburke/patriot Patriot] who cared about the environment of Earth, about the civil rights of indigenous people and minorities around the world, and about Americans and the USA, all of which and whom were, and are still apparently fair game for exploitation according to the Corporate American way of thinking.<br> | ||
