Socialism is slavery

What’s key to understanding Obama’s presidiency? He ran as a centrist, promising  to unite America with promises like cutting taxes for 95% of Americans. (What do you call a ‘tax cut’ when you don’t pay any taxes?) Once elected The-One Party government has proposed zero tax cuts and quite a few tax increases and proceeded to balloon the deficit beyond any previous government.

As he reveals what his actual policies are we find more and more government intervention and takeover. Total transformation of the United States of America is his stated goal and he intends to deliver.

Let’s look at the deficit. We were told that we must elect Democrats because Bush was such a profligate spender. Democrats ran on a platform of fiscal conservatism. All lies.

You can see the Bush/Congress budgets from 2000 to 2008. Notice the tall red lines to the right starting at 2008 there. These are not Bush budgets, they are the Obama/Democrat congress budgets. The difference is exponential.

What is happening since the election of Obama and a completely Democrat controlled congress is a government completely out of control. Bankruptcy cannot be far behind. These budgets are unsustainable.

Add to this the nationalization of the auto industry, the healthcare industry, and the financial industry and what you have is the beginning of total government control of every aspect of our lives. There will be no freedom of speech to criticize your employer when it is the government providing your job. There will be no free speech at all after the government ‘bailout’ of the press. The government will own the presses.

This is the left’s top down approach to democracy and it is Obama’s method of madness. The best and the brightest make decisions and plan the economy for the benefit of all the people. In essence, the government controls the people. Since we are the government, they say, it’s all ok. But this is how socialism works, (or rather doesn’t work). This is a giant left turn off the cliff and into total government control. Total as in totalitarian. Eventually nothing is exempt from that control.

Once the government is paying for your healthcare, guess what, they will be deciding what foods you will be allowed to eat,  and how much you exercise.

The left has no plans or principles that will prevent every minute detail of your life coming under the control of some government agency, basically allowing some beauracrat to step in and hassle you to death. As government takes over more areas there will be more reason to take over more. You will be fined, harrassed, monitored and eventually incarcerated if you do not do whatever some government busy body wants you to do. –And it will all be for your own good of course.

This is nothing less than slavery. But it is the change that Obama promised. This is the way he will ‘set us free’.

Defend Carrie

miss-californiaCarrie Prejean is being savagely attacked for voicing the majority opinion of Californians who have voted twice to outlaw gay marriage per se. She should be applauded and defended.

Why Gay Marriage Was Defeated in California (Time.com)
CNN online poll:

Was Miss California Carrie Prejean right to voice her opposition to gay marriage at the Miss U.S.A. pageant?

  1. 89.64% Yes
  2. 10.36% No

~poll resultsVote

The fact that she is willing to voice her beliefs with no reservations is refreshing.

Government too big

Rasmussen reports:

60% Say Government Has Too Much Power, Too Much Money

…Not surprisingly, the Political Class sees things a lot differently. While 85% of Mainstream Americans say the government has too much power and money, just two percent (2%) of the Political Class agree. Nearly one-our-of-four members (24%) of the Political Class, in fact, believe the government has too little money and power, but 68% say it has about the right amount of each.

While slightly more than half of those working for both the government and private industry say the government is too big, 79% of entrepreneurs feel that way.

The findings follow last week’s “tea party” protests against higher government spending and the threat of higher taxes. Fifty-one percent (51%) of Americans have a favorable view of the tea parties, but the Political Class strongly disagrees.  ~rasmussenreports.com

This is fundamentally a conservative country despite the election of a socialist leaning administration. So will the Obama adminstration continue their drive toward socializing America. No doubt they will.

Georgetown Says It Covered Over Name of Jesus to Comply With White House RequestWednesday, April 15, 2009
By Edwin Mora

(CNSNews.com) – Georgetown University says it covered over the monogram “IHS”–symbolizing the name of Jesus Christ—because it was inscribed on a pediment on the stage where President Obama spoke at the university on Tuesday and the White House had asked Georgetown to cover up all signs and symbols there.

Georgetown, which is run by the Jesuit order, is one of the most prestigious Catholic institutions of higher education in the United States.

Roman Catholics traditionally use “IHS” as an abbreviation for Jesus’ name.  ~cnsnews.com

More of a guideline…

Our leftist one party government thinks that the constitution is merely a set of guidelines. Not some absolute rule of law. Ex post facto taxes? No problem. Change the constitution without an amendment? No problem.

Justice Department lawyers concluded in an unpublished opinion earlier this year that the historic D.C. voting rights bill pending in Congress is unconstitutional, according to sources briefed on the issue. But Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr., who supports the measure, ordered up a second opinion from other lawyers in his department and determined that the legislation would pass muster. ~washingtonpost.com

The transformative path

obama-messiah-1-250pxFree markets have failed and we must now embark on a new transformative path of change. All of our problems are due to the greed of big business, so instead we need wise experts, technocrats, and politicians to make economic decisions for the common good in order to create a fair and prosperous society.

Sounds familiar. Sadly, this experiment never ends well. How unwell it will end in our case depends on how far Obama and his congress take us down the road to serfdom.

There’s nothing worse we could do than put politicians in charge of the economy. The argument is an old one, discredited and debunked, but one held as tightly as belief in the trinity, baptism by water, or that buddha is enlightenment; in essence it is this: that business is greedy and the rich are rich because they take wealth from the poor. The history of this nation and of the system of capitalism that has developed over many years says otherwise. Wealth in free capitalist countries benefits rich and poor alike because it is the thing called capital in capitalism that works for society, to improve, invest, and return a higher standard of living to both rich and poor alike.

The truth is that however bad you think free markets are– political markets are far worse. America is a country that has never been perfect, being peopled by persons of imperfection, but in the combination of freedom, individualism, property rights, classical liberal morality, and dare I say Judeo-Christian morality, we have achieved a standard of living unparalleled by any other civilization in the history of the earth. The poor in the United States live like no other class of poor in history.

It is not by chance or fickle fortune that wealth has accrued to the capitalist system. Even as Marx fundamentally misunderstood what was happening before his eyes he nevertheless recognized that capitalism does indeed produce wealth and this wealth produced higher standards of living for all.

Dismantling the structures of American capitalism and replacing it with the structures of a politicized economy will destroy wealth creation in this country and likely the world economy will follow. The transformation that Obama and his congress are now pursuing is nothing less than a grand looting. Eventually, if we follow it to it’s logical conclusion, it will effectively end American democracy and destroy personal freedom.

Channeling Dems

Kim Jong Il channels Democrats like nobody’s business. But I’m not sure if which direction the spiritual flow is going. When the left talks about Bush’s torture regime and Guantanamo it sounds an awful lot like this:

KCNA Demands Closure of U.S. Secret Prisons

Pyongyang, March 24 (KCNA) — The special rapporteur for torture issue of the UN Human Rights Council and the UN special envoy for human rights and anti-terrorism, addressing the recent 10th meeting of the council, declared that an international investigation would be conducted into the secret prisons operated by the United States.

They denounced the atrocities committed by the U.S. as the “most horrible acts,” asserting that they would not allow the U.S. to evade its responsibility for them with ease on account of the replacement of the U.S. administration and that the investigation should be continued till everything has been clarified.

This is a proper step taken by the international community against the U.S. which has committed ceaseless human rights abuses in different parts of the world under the signboard of “war on terrorism.”

The U.S. set up a secret prison in Guantanamo of Cuba in the wake of the “September 11 incident” and established such prisons in different countries of the world and even on warships.

It arrested many people and has kept them in custody for a long period, ruthlessly violating their freedom and human rights.

26,000 people are now detained, without having even a chance to stand a fair trial, the most elementary human rights.

They are put to beating, sleep depravation, water boarding, sexual torture and other forms of mediaeval torture. Guiltless people are disappearing without being known to the outside, while undergoing unbearable pain.

These are the hideous human rights abuses quite contrary to the humanitarian principles of modern international law including the “Geneva Convention” and international law on human rights.

Precisely for this reason the International Committee of the Red Cross in a report in 2007 defined the U.S. atrocities as “cruel and inhuman contempt of personality” and “torture.”

What merits a serious attention is that the U.S. is trying to keep the secret prisons censured by the world.

This is evidenced by the fact that the U.S. attorney general, while announcing the “new standard for the operation of the facilities for ‘suspected terrorists’” in Guantanamo on March 13, blustered that it is inevitable to operate these facilities in a way to tighten national security.

These outbursts cannot but sound very surprising as they are let loose without let-up under the pretext of “examining” the closure of the secret prison in Guantanamo.

During the office of the Bush administration the U.S. left no means untried to cover up the operation of secret prisons with such crafty words as “national security”.

The new U.S. administration is echoing such words only to reveal its intention not to close them.

The U.S. had better close as early as possible the secret prisons ill-famed for lots of human rights abuses. ~kcna.co.jp

Commie propaganda?

Commie propaganda or Obama administration and supporter rhetoric? Capitalism and the ‘unlimited free market principle’ is responsible for this new great depression.

The financial crisis hit the United States because its business is governed by the “unlimited free market principle” and the U.S. administration squandered money for overseas aggression and war moves, the article notes, and goes on:

In the capitalist market economy antagonism and contradictions and unbalanced development among countries bring about instability in equilibrium between foreign incomings and outgoings and foreign exchange rate and these create conditions for sparking off a financial crisis.

The economy in the capitalist countries is structurally dependent on the U.S. Many capitalist countries are in such economic relationship that they are entangled with one another with the U.S. consumer market as the axis. Precisely for this reason the financial crisis in the U.S. put major capitalist countries in the grip of economic crisis.

Capitalism is an unpopular society which diametrically runs counter to the intrinsic wishes of the popular masses in all aspects of material, spiritual and cultural and political lives, and it is an old corrupt and weak society bound to go to ruin due to the struggle of the popular masses for independence.

By its intrinsic class nature the capitalist system cannot overcome the imbalance between deformed material life and impoverished spiritual and cultural life and that between the growing demand of the popular masses for independence and the worsening political life. Herein lie the uncontrollable contradictions in the capitalist society and consequently capitalism is bound to go to ruin inevitably.

The capitalist countries are also going to decay and ruin, depending on the exploitation and plunder of developing countries.

The developing countries are standing in confrontation with the capitalist countries by strengthening the south-south cooperation as evidenced by their energetic endeavors to put an end to the outdated international economic order and, instead, build a new and fair one.

The advance of the popular masses’ cause of independence, the cause of socialism is precipitating the doomsday of capitalism.

Socialist Korea demonstrating its might by winning victories by dint of Songun serves as the beacon of hope and the banner of victory for the world people desirous of independence.

The 21st century will prove to be a century marked with historic changes in which capitalism is bound to meet its end and socialism is sure to triumph thanks to the struggle of the popular masses for independence. ~kcna.co.jp
