Back at the Crossroads: Socialism or Success, Election 2008
America is a nation unique in the world, and so every election is always the most important. This is so because we are always faced with major issues and problems, not just of ourselves, but of the world. America has always been leading the way and heading toward new developments. While powerful, we view our world role more as protector and shepherd than dictator. We champion the unique self worth of the individual. We are thus a target from forces within and without. Remember, we have a lot of types of people and views within our borders.
We have therefore faced the choice between socialism and capitalism before in our history, and now we face it again.
In this election America faces a directional choice between capitalism or socialism. Free enterprise or government compulsion.
One candidate advocates capitalism. The other invites us into programs achievable only through socialism.
Barrack Obama advocates socialist programs labeled with less repulsive names. Everything he preaches on the campaign trail requires a socialist restructuring of the economy and government to achieve. His surrogate campaigner, his attorney wife, advocates likewise, yet more directly. She speaks in his stead on the campaign trail so that he may be in more places that one. During the week of April 7, 2008 she flatly stated that for some to get what they want others will “have to give up part of their piece the pie.”
Notice she did not say to get what they merit, or what they deserve. In the socialist world, merit does not matter. One becomes entitled simply by being, not by earning or creating.
Mrs. Obama has previously said she is through her husband’s campaign now becoming proud of America. Evidently it offers the possibility that we are at the tipping point and the “socialismizaton” of America is within grasp. Both Barrack and his wife have for decades faithfully attended a bitter Anti-American church under their spiritual leader for decades advocating this. Based on their level of education, the Obamas cannot claim misstatement or ignorance as a defense.
America has been stocking up on socialists for some time now. People who come not for the opportunity, but for the benefits. Not to build but to occupy and enjoy what others have built. Many forces have been at work for some decades to gradually convert America from capitalism to socialism. To expand the social safety nets into socialism and income redistribution.
Morals are fundamental truths and understandings. Laws flow from morals and are details trying to implement certain of those morals. Socialism is immoral. It is founded on jealously and un-importance of self. It tells one to look with envy upon what another has, and draw plans against him to use the force of government to take enough of if to bring the other down to his level. Rather than my creating or producing, I will have government take from my neighbor and give to me that which I would like to have. I might as well just run next door and take it myself and skip the government middleman who puts a smiley-face on the ugly act.
Capitalism is moral. It teaches self-respect, and self-worth. It teaches people to respect one another as equals and deal with one another on merit and mutual agreed worth. We must trade with one another and reach agreement. It requires mutual consent. Compulsion does not teach or set value. Only freedom of choice teaches. It breads creativity. The only reason that foreign countries can sell miracle drugs at a discount is because they acquire them through license. They lacked the creative drive and capital to invent, test and insure them. They only have them because of the capitalist society. Remove the capitalism, and progress will stagnate, and they will have far fewer miracle drugs to sell from abroad at a discount here at home.
I guess today’s socialists think things are at an OK point of development, so it’s OK retard further progress by removing the incentive and context which has driven it (except they don’t even understand that that is where things come from). We’ll just sit here where we presently are and be happy. We’ve got what we need; let’s just work with what we’ve got. I guess they think we have enough infrastructure and medicine and types of products.
Good thing we didn’t stop back when we had only aspirin, and without jets, jet skis, snow mobiles, the interstate, Tylenol®, or a few years ago when we had gotten up to MRIs, CT-scans, the internet, computers, the Hubble telescope, and Viagra.
In the 2008 election, I think America will be making an important choice as to the direction it will head, and whether it will suffer a fool’s errand of horrible costs and destruction, both economic and social.
And from voting patterns, ignorance on many things by many inhabitants, and the absence of curious intelligent inquiry into the basics necessary for a candidate’s positions, it appears that America may have reached the tipping point with enough socialists now on board that in the 2008 election America is going to take a run at socialism.
