AGENDA: Grinding America Down (Trailer) from Curtis Bowers on Vimeo.

Or, rather collectivism - in any of its forms - including its 'sick sisters' socialism and communism. And like most illicit opiate use, it spreads like a poison leaving sickness, dysfunction and despair in its wake. No really, Socialism takes initiative, personal responsibility, individual liberty and faith and turns them on its head and substitutes those once vaunted America Ideals with sloth,  entitlement, no work ethic,  personal irresponsibility, societal moral hazards and condemnation of Judeo-Christian faith.   Progressives and their co-conspirators in the N.E.A., reinforced by a compliant "Mainstream Media" have managed to inculcate a generation and a half of Americans who feel they "deserve rather than earn!"

And the addiction to other people's money is a hard habit to break! Just ask the Grecians, who upon hearing about the "Audacity of Austerity" - decide to riot rather than "man up" and take care of themselves.

For those that know ought to know better, the free market (capitalism) has lifted more 'peoples' out of abject poverty and misery than any other system yet devised by man.  While not perfect and it does not provide a guaranteed outcome, it certainly provides a more level starting place where at least on your own merits you can determine what your future will be. But, merit, is fast being removed from the lexicon of American exceptionalism and is being replaced with the mind numbing opiate with 'crack like' addictive seduction called "social justice".  Social Justice is where others make a claim on you time, your income , your liberty, on you and call it fairness! But, it is only fair  -as it has been demonstrated time and time again to spread misery fairly to everyone. Well everyone; but, the ruling oligarchy.

So, a year into Dear Leader's Reader's presidential term and we find that the whole "Hopey Changey" 'thang' was a bait and switch scheme from the jump.

While it should be no surprise that the most un-American of our Presidents - un-American being defined as having the least amount of shared experiences with the rest of us - would have a different view of what is right for our country, it is shocking to see how he is seeking to remake our country into a radical vision he learned elsewhere.

Perhaps this vision-quest for social justice was inculcated in a madrassa in Indonesian where he grew up as a young boy or maybe - by his own admission - transferred from is marxist professors in college or just fixed in his mind while sitting in the pews as a member of Rev Wright's congregation. This version of social justice is not at all what or Founders envisioned!

Our founders envisioned a "shinning city on a hill" where freedoms and the blessings of those freedoms were derived from God - not from Government! And while life outcomes might not be assured, at least we could all start the race from the same starting line. Now, as we remove God from our social and political discourse, we are moving toward a tyranny where what was once assured to us by God is now being stolen by an ever expanding central government to mete out at it's own capricious and arbitrary whims. "A government that is big enough to give you everything you want is also big enough to take everything you have."

The dirty little secret is, that the guv'ment is "sharing" dollars that belong to someone else.  Our guv'ment has NO MONEY.  In order for our politicians to give money to someone, they must first take it from someone else. This means that for every "public" dollar shared to accomplish a faux vision of social justice, that dollar must be confiscated from someone who created in the private sector as a fruit of their own labor.

If the European model of social justice is implemented, we can certainly get an immediate Q.E.D on how that has been working out for the last 40 years! Persistent unemployment always over 10%; and for those that have jobs, wages about 33% less than in America; and a reduced standard of living with much less discretionary spending. So for those on WIC, Welfare and raking in the other unearned "entitlements" your discretionary spending for 'rims', cellphones, flat screens and unfettered entertainment is directly paid for by those that have jobs! If we move to a  "social justice" scheme where we have fewer people working. If fewer people are working, then there will be less, less for everyone.

Freedom the real Social Justice - ... "is never more than a Generation away from Extinction. It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. Those who have known freedom and then lost it have never known it again." source   Will you let Freedom die - on your watch?

• if twenty years ago somebody would have said that our elected leaders would eagerly be embracing socialism they would have been laughed out of town.
• if forty years ago somebody would have said that our elected leaders would eagerly be embracing socialism they would have been run out of town.
• if eighty years ago somebody would have said that our elected leaders would eagerly be embracing socialism they would have been dropped in their tracks.
• if one hundred years ago somebody would have said that our elected leaders would be eagerly embracing the collectivist ideas of espoused by Marx, Engels and they would have hung for treason!
