Why not socialism?

The question on many people's minds is "Why not socialism?" Supposedly capitalism is dead, so why not socialism?

The answer is simple, capitalism isn't dead and socialism just plain doesn't work.

Ask yourself this one question. If socialism is so great, why do people leave these socialized countries in search of a better life in the United States of America. The answer is simply that the United States is a land of opportunities. People come to the US because they can achieve endless dreams if they just work hard. That is why people come here. Because here in America we are the land of the free, the home of the brave. We are free to live as we chose, to work as hard as we want, to make a better life for ourselves. We do not live under tyrannical oppression (as of yet) and we are not controlled by the government. We do not work for anyone but ourselves (as of yet). We are free to make our own choices and suffer the consequences of our choices, but that could be changing soon.

Within the new administration there is a great struggle for power. The government wants to control more of our lives so that they can exhibit control over the people. It hs already started in these first few weeks under the new administration. They are all ready trying to take the role of the census away fromt he dept of commerce and give it to the white house under direction of rahm emmanuel. It is a direct manipulation of data to redraw district lines, re-routing electoral votes and possibly swinging whole states in favor of one party or another. This is nothing but a big power grab.

Socialist countries have control over healthcare. When the country controls it, they can put stipulations on who receives it when and how much treatment they receive. Of course the government will never openly admit it, but think of how much control they could have over the masses.

Socialist countries also control the money in the form of state run banks. With the bank bailouts and the stipulations being placed on them by the obamessiah administration, the government is beginning to assert their control. Once they control the money, they have all the power.

Socialist countries have extremly high tax rates. I for one already pay 40%+ in taxes. Most socialist countries pay in excess of 60%. I don't know about you all, but I feel like I already pay too much. Why should I pay more. Hussein (people always referreed to bush as dubya, so i will refer to the new president as hussein) has already spoke of wealth redistribution when he spoke with joe the plumber, thats his plan. Why should I work hard just so someone else can benefit from my labor. Doesn't make sense. Why should I work so some one can sit on their butt and keeping having babies they can't afford? Doesn't make sense does it?

The final issue is gun control. Extreme liberals want to eliminate the ability to bear arms. While hussein will say in speeches that he doesn't favor banning guns, his state senate voting record proves otherwise. While in the illinois state senate he several times voted (when he wasn't voting present) for more strict gun control. He says one thing and then acts completely different.
Imagine a world without guns. Its sounds like a beetles tune....."Imagine all the world, with out fire---armmmmmss . Well guess what happens, the populace is weakend and can't rise up against tyrannical oppression.

Some people will say that would never happen. But that is how our country was formed, by raising up against the oppression of a socialist country (England). Keep in mind we are less than 300 years old. We have not been around long enough to say that nothing like that can happen, remember, history always repeats itself.

So if you want to lose your freedoms, the freedoms that hundreds of thousands of americans died protecting, do what the government wants, be a sheep. Go along with the obamessiah because it feeeeeelllls good. But if you value your freedoms, be wary of the new rules and regs. Things are changing and not always for the better.

I refuse to participate in a recession

The biggest thing on everyone's mind right now is the state of the economy. I will be the first to admit that the economy is doing very poorly but it is not the doom and gloom the media portrays it as. The liberal left is currently saying that capitalism is dead and that maybe we should try socialism. They are telling us it is the worst economy since the depression. I couldn't disagree with that any more than saying that Paris Hilton has relevance in today's world. It is not even as bad as it was during the Carter years. Have people forgot gas rationing? 12% inflation? 20% mortgages. It is nowhere near that bad.

So many people are quick to forget about the good times and focus on the bad. I will take this moment to quote the biggest quack of a motivational speaker I have ever known (steve chandler). This is the only thing I have ever read of his that I agree with. It is simply "owner vs victim" mentality. You can equate the partisan lines to this mentality. I will let you decide which party resembles which mentality.

I would like to take you back a couple of years to the 2006 election. When the democrats took power over the congress, the stock market was in the 13,000 range, peaking for a few moments past 14,000 points. This was the highest it has ever been. Gas was about $1.50 and the economy was doing well. Enter the democrats stage left.

Gas goes over $4/gallon, the stock market tanks, (currently in the high 7,000 points) the housing market collapses and the economy is in shambles. Along comes the savior, the obamessiah. He is going to save us all! He is going to take money out of my pocket and give it to my deadbeat trashy neighbors. It is, remember, all about wealth redistribution you know.

2 years ago, when fannie mae/freddie mac were pulled in front of congress and asked if they were financially sound, they said oh yeah, we are great. no worries. Then all of a sudden, they are in shambles. They are begging for a bailout. The two leaders of this so called great instituion were financial advisors for the obamessiah. Oh so sad. But wait, Obama is gonna save us all!

Well I for one know that Obama really does not have my best interest at heart. He must know that I sure didn't vote for him. Everything he is doing goes against everything I believe in. Maybe he has already forgot that he is the president for all americans, not just the ones who voted for him.

Our country is headed down a dangerous path to socialism. We must stop it before it is too late.

Remember, according to the democrats when they spoke out against Bush, dissent is the highest form of patriotism! Do not let your voices be silent! Stand up for what you believe in. Fight for your rights. and if all else fails, have a gathering in Concord NH.

History Repeats Itself

As I sit here pondering the political happenings of today's current events, I can't help but have a sense of deja vu. As a child growing up, one thing they taught us in history class is that history always repeats itself. This is evident to anyone who has studied history in school. It seems as if we have been here before. Have we not learned the lessons from our pasts? I am beginning to think we have not.

Today we saw an abomination of our freedoms. As the congress and the current president rush to pass a bill that will stimulate absolutely nothing. They hid it from the people so that we couldn't even give it our approval/disapproval. What are they hiding? They had so much pork hidden in this 780 billion dollars that they know it is unconstitutional. Nobody had time to read this bill and were expected to sign off on it. The current president claimed he would work bi partisanly, but in fact refused to do so. This is just the beginning. This is the beginning of what will be the destruction of America as we know it.

I leave you with this: Rise Up America! We will not go silently into the night! History will repeat itself. As you (congress and the new administration) begin your planned actions of taking away our freedoms, I am comforted by a lesson that we learned in history class many years ago.

Is anyone ready for a "tea party?"
