Collectivism, Socialism, Communism: "Women and children hardest hit.".

Stealing a play from the lib playbook, I'll use a headline that is one of their favorites - you know the one they always use to grab your attention - the headline that declares whatever impending doom is coming - typically caused by mean hearted republicans - will impact women and children first  -

"Budget cuts coming - women and children hardest hit" or  Asteroid collides with earth  wipes out entire population, "women and children hardest hit"

In a recent Rasmussen poll 30% of Democrats say they prefer Socialism! The figures for the under 30 crowd are even more staggering: while 37% prefer capitalism, 33% prefer socialism and a staggering 30% are undecided. Source

Can someone please explain to me that in a world where collectivism in all of its forms have been demonstrated a failure, we have 33% of those under 30 embracing it and another 30% undecided about its efficacy? Can there really be that many tenured professors romanticizing about the good old days of Stalin and  Mao or lifting up Castro's Cuba as a current modern economic model? I'm just saying would you rather have Cuba's economy than our own?

Well, if you would rather Cuba's economy, hang on it's coming - many in the 'Dear Reader's" administration have an affinity for socialism. These folks are working diligently to bring that home to us  - with all that it entails:  including high unemployment or massive underemployment,  inflation, slow or regressive growth. Not to mention all that comes with state managed; education, health, economy and faith.

If you prefer socialism to capitalism then, the light you see at the end of the tunnel is not the end, instead it is a "flashlight on a ration card"!

For those of you who remember the 70s; the good old days of disco, afros and Jimmy Carter; you'll remember with fondness the air pollution scare that was taking the country by storm.  Well the fear mongers were busy telling us that, quote, "air pollution is certainly going to take hundreds of thousands of lives in just the next few years alone.  By 1980 the life expectancy of all Americans will be 42 years.  By 1985, air pollution will have reduced the amount of sunlight reaching the Earth by one-half."

Now with that brilliant prognostication as background, here are some facts:  Since 1970 the population is up by 50%, miles driven (some in those evil SUVs) has increased by 159% and real GDP (Gross Domestic Product for those of you still in public schools) has increased by 159%.  We should be wallowing in air pollution and the population of the Earth should be about 6, give or take. 

Strangely though, somehow it didn't work out as planned.  Air pollution has diminished.  And not just slightly, but drastically.  There has been a 91% decrease in the lead air quality from 1980 to 2007; a 76% national decrease in carbon monoxide air quality and a 68% decrease in sulfur dioxide air quality  (facts stolen from Glenn Beck.  Thank you Mr. Beck.)  Now I know what you're thinking;  "How could we accomplish that without our benevolent, all-knowing, all-seeing federal government getting involved and saddling us with a cap and trade system that would keep us all from choking to death?"

Well, I'm sure Congress wanted to, but just couldn't figure out a way to scare us sufficiently enough to steal trillions of our dollars.

Oh, and let's not forget the "experts" who in the 1980s were warning us that a new ice age was on the way and if we didn't act "right now" we would all be living on a glacier.  Yeah, that worked out real well.  Some "reputable" scientists actually wanted to release millions of tons of CO2 into the atmosphere to warm up the Earth.  What a great idea that would have been!

Another idea was to hang giant mirrors in space to reflect the sun's rays on the Earth, thereby heating up the surface.  I know you're rolling your eyes right now, but I did not make that up.

You see, scaremongering is big business.  And now we have the latest version.  It's called "global warming" or since the Earth has actually started cooling, it's now known as "climate change." And it's coming after you.

Spurred on by the guru of global warming, Al Gore (you remember; he invented the Internet) and the rest of the loons on the radical left, Congress has introduced a Cap and Trade bill.  If passed, it will be the greatest transfer of wealth in the history of the world.  You will actually be able to sit and watch the money fly out of your pocket and into the hands of our ever-faithful (to whom I don't know, but it's not us) politicians in Washington who ALWAYS know how to spend your money more wisely than you.

The cost of this legislation will be staggering.  Not only will our utility bills skyrocket (Obama has already said that they will at least double), but the cost of every single manufactured good in America (if any companies choose to remain here) will increase substantially as they pass the new taxes along to consumers.  And let me be clear on this just in case you bought into our Dear Leader's class-warfare act; this will affect the rich and poor alike.  The only folks who will be saved are the homeless.   That is if the shelters aren't forced to close.

And you can take that to the bank.   If you have any change left.  Hope you do.  

 I have to admit that when I awoke one morning last week, I had been magically transformed from a hard-working father of three, grandfather of two and a generally all-around nice guy into a raving, foaming-at-the-mouth, rabid domestic terrorist planning to blow up The Capitol Building.

You see I found out that, according to the Department of Homeland Security, since I am anti-abortion, pro-United States Constitution, believe in a Christian God, own guns, and am wholeheartedly against any and all plans by Barack Hussein Obama to turn this into the new Soviet Union, I am now a home-grown domestic terrorist.

Whew, I'm glad we got that cleared up, I actually thought I was a patriotic American!

Silly me.  What was I thinking?  

Forgive me for asking, but what has changed?  I had the same thoughts when George Bush was president.  I didn't like TARP I, the prescription drug program, the auto company bailout and the Republicans turning into social Democrats when they spent OUR money (not theirs) uncontrollably.  I railed against all of that then as I do now.  

The only difference is that the libs are in power now and can't take criticism.  As soon as we point out that they are bankrupting our nation and destroying capitalism (the economic system that has brought us from the stone age to the space age), they accuse us of being racists.  Or, as we see now; domestic terrorists.

Doesn't it seem odd that this report would be released the day before The National Tea Parties were taking place.  Does that just seem coincidental?  I doubt it.  It's nothing more than a blatant attempt to intimidate those of us who are taking advantage of our God-given First Amendment right to free speech.  

But as always, libs believe free speech applies only to them.  Free speech in America only gives you the right to dishonor our war veterans and combat soldiers.  Free speech only gives you the right to call Americans who voted for John McCain racists.  Free speech only gives you the right to tell the world America is evil.  Free speech only gives you the right to travel to foreign lands, suck face with dictators and despots and apologize for America's existence.

Free speech does not mean you can disagree with The Messiah. 

Oh well, I guess the bright side is that I don't own any white sheets.  

Yesterday, Tax Day - in the USA, the day to "render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's"!  Yesterday, also a day to protest a Caesarian tax code as oppressive and tyrannical is old Gaius himself.

In hundreds of cities nationwide,  tens of thousands of American's, many who shoulder the actual financial burden that pay the promises the political class makes, raised their voices to protest 'out of control spending' increasing tax burdens and a recalcitrant congress. 

Make no mistake; the Tax Day Tea Party is neither about party affiliation nor any one political persuasion. Instead it's about affecting a positive and meaningful change from uncompromising legislators who purport to get their "power from the consent of the governed", yet remain deaf to the will of the governed.

I supposed the Tea Parties must be successful than I imaged; because, many including Madame Pelosi are doing what they can to discredit or minimize their impact. Even making the claim that these events are not grassroots in nature instead they are Astroturf.



The Orlando Tax Day Tea Party was funded, not by some 'vast rightwing conspiracy' rather it was funded by the sweat equity of the committee volunteers, the donated time of the guest speakers, the donated time and man power of the sound company and many others who share the same idea - that the blessings of liberty don't come to us from government; but, from our Creator.

(with apologies to The Beatles)

While our Dear Leader is throwing out apologies for America's crimes against the world, I would like to add my list of the things he missed.  

    We're sorry for sending our military to Europe in 1918 to save it from the invasion of the Huns.

    We're sorry for sending in our military (again) to Europe to save it from the invasion of Nazis.  Thus having stopped the slaughter of Jews, Poles, Catholics, Gays and just about everyone else on the continent.

    We're sorry for sending our military (again) to Asia to combat Imperial Japan from raping and murdering the innocents in such incomprehensible acts of barbarism.

    We're sorry for sending our military (again) to Korea to keep South Korea from becoming a socialist paradise like North Korea.

    We're sorry for spending hundreds of billions of dollars and stationing our military in far off lands (again) to keep Europe out of the hands of smiling Joe Stalin, the Dear Leader of The Union of Soviet SOCIALIST States, who by the way, killed 40 million of his own people.

    We're sorry for sending our military (again) to South Viet Nam to keep it from becoming another socialist paradise like North Viet Nam.  (More on this later).

    We're sorry for taking in hundreds of thousands of Cubans fleeing Castro's free health care for everyone.

    We're sorry for sending our military (again) to free Kuwait from the clutches of a megalomaniac.

    We're sorry for sending our military (again) and freeing 25 million Afghans from the tyranny of the Taliban's Muslim rulers who stoned women to death for going outside without their Yves St. Laurent signature burkhas.

    We're sorry for sending our military (again) and freeing 25 million Iragis from the tyranny of a madman who kept rape rooms and dug mass graves for 300,000 of his own people, used WMDs on the Iranians and the Kurds and had dreams of becoming the new Saladin.

    We're sorry for sending $300 million to aid the victims of the tsunami in Asia.

    We're sorry for sending tens of billions of dollars to Africa to fight poverty and AIDS; even though most of the money ended up in the pockets of tyrannical despots.

Let's see, have I forgot anything else we should apologize for?  I could probably find a few more if I looked.  Oh look, here's one I forgot:

    We're sorry we elected Barack Hussein Obama to occupy the office once held by giants like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and Ronald Reagan.  For that dear God, we're truly sorry.

As I riffed in Circle of Trust, blessing of faith, was founded on certain Judeo-Christian  principles.

Below is a video of Dear Leader Reader stating that we don't consider ourselves a Christian Nation.

"You will be assimilated - resistance is futile"; so says the Borg, "old Europe" and all the like minded union 'hired ruffians' who believe that collectivism is the proper antidote for Personal Responsibility, Individual Liberty and Freedom.

 

While at the G20 Summit, 'Dear Leader Reader' gleefully multi-tasks by vilifying Americans here at home and by giving away "the store" abroad by pledging our (US) tax dollars to a confederation of globalists, unionists, communists and despots all focused on DECLARING AN END TO FREE MARKET CAPITALISM.  source

Lest, we veer off into the tall grass, when you read 'the end to capitalism' you should be thinking to yourself; "the end of private property"!  And, you should be thinking that; "this means the end of America as we know it and as it was founded".  

 

As bequeath to us by our creator, and through precedent from our common heritage with British Mercantilism of the 16^{th -}19^th centuries, we hold to the distinct notion that each person owns his or her own labor and therefore is allowed to sell the use of that labor to an employer.  

 

Those who believe in state managed economies do NOT believe that that you are allowed to sell the use of your labor! Instead your labor belongs to the state and should be directed toward the state's purpose rather than your own purpose.

 

While there are many places in the world where you can live in a state managed economy, the idea that some one else owns YOUR LABOR has been antithetical to our founding, our constitution, and the very freedoms granted by our Creator.

 

So in case you think, that the conversion of American from capitalism to socialism and the giant welfare state won't affect you think again:
