STOP PRETENDING

It’s time to stop pretending that Obama’s Marxist socialism will bring prosperity, peace, and good will to society. For more than 70 years, everywhere Marxist socialism is tried, we've witnessed the devastating results. There are still plenty of us alive today who remember the stark differences between East (socialist) and West (capitalist) Germany. Many of us recall the problems that Soviet Russia had just to feed its people after 40 years of communism (the other name for Marxist socialism). Because so many people have risked their lives to leave, it's evident that Cuba must be a horrible place to live. The same can be said about the Vietnamese boat people after the Communists took over the South. We can see the dramatic difference between North (communist) and South (capitalist) Korea. We can see France, England, and Spain, once mighty political and economic powers as they have deteriorated under milder forms of socialism. We’ve witnessed China go from abject poverty to prosperity just a few short years after embracing capitalism. The evidence is clear, it is loud, and it is empirical. The devastating effects of Marxist socialism are the inevitable outcome of Obama’s plan to “fundamentally change” America.

It’s time we Americans found the courage to stand up to the Marxists in Washington -- to those who believe that their "time has come" -- and let them know in no uncertain terms that we will not allow them to drag us down into the hell-hole of communism. Let them know we see the bloody skeletons their kind has left behind wherever they’ve been. It is patently clear that this form of government is not really about the welfare of men, women, and children but about power and control of society by those who are unscrupulous, unprincipled, and un-feeling about life in general. When one man deems it necessary to take control of our country by assuming control of corporations, banks, payrolls, and our health care in the manner of Hitler’s blitzkrieg war machine, it is time to wave the red flags, send up the flares, and sound the sirens.

We know the inevitable results of Marxism, and we understand that its real purpose is not to wish peace and goodwill on anyone. The world is witness to the death, destruction, and despair it has caused; therefore, the evidence demands our attention. So why are we standing around like a bunch of sheep waiting to be taken to the slaughterhouse?

Well, you say, they voted for him. It was the will of the people, what can I do? They voted for Hitler and he also lied to and misled the people to get his way. Fortunately, this isn’t pre-war Germany and there is plenty you can do. For starters you can write your congressmen and women, and your senators. We have to let them know how disgusted we are with the direction they are taking our country. Also, we have to get active in the voting process by doing volunteer work and getting out the vote. Write to the op-ed section of your local newspapers and your favorite news magazines. Write encouragement to television and radio conservative talk shows. Show up at the rallies and tea parties with your signs. Make yourself heard.

Yes, we voted for Obama, but so did Germany vote for Hitler. He too ran on a platform of hope and change. He too lied and promised wonderful things, and the people fell in love with him just like they fell for Obama. But, in time (for them it was too late), they realized he was a monster. I know I’m not the only one beginning to feel the same way about Obama.

The main goal of socialism is to strip away individual property rights and turn them over to society as a whole. The means of production and distribution of goods and wealth comes under state control. Remember that the money you earn is property and it’s considered theirs; all of it!

For how many years have we heard socialists like FDR and LBJ and Clinton go on about the abolition of poverty, prosperity for all, and the promise of world peace? Even George W. Bush was suckered into that hogwash,  and he promised a kinder, gentler (moderate) Republican party. So far, instead of economic prosperity and jobs that Obama promised 9 months ago, we have economic paralysis; millions of people without jobs, and millions of people who have just given up looking for jobs (these are not counted as unemployed for some strange reason). The  unemployment rate is topping 10%; the same as it was during the Great Depression. I have to admit, the future looks pretty terrifying considering the glaring differences between what was promised nine months ago and what he have today: the dollar is being replaced on the world market by the Euro, China owns us lock stock and barrel, and our whole world has been turned upside down by a president who promised us the moon but gave us moon pie and appears to be flipping the bird at us.
