Answers To Questions About Socialism

"Anyone who trades liberty for security deserves neither liberty nor security." - Benjamin Franklin.


"I don't like the income tax. Every time we talk about these taxes we get around to the idea of 'from each according to his capacity and to each according to his needs'. That's socialism. It's written into the Communist Manifesto. Maybe we ought to see that every person who gets a tax return receives a copy of the Communist Manifesto with it so he can see what's happening to him." - T. Coleman Andrews, Commissioner of Internal Revenue, May 25, 1956 in U.S.
News & World Report

"Let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle." - George Washington

"Socialism is the philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance and the gospel of envy." - Winston Churchill

"To take from one, because it is thought that his own industry and that of his fathers has acquired too much, in order to spare others, who, or whose fathers have not exercised equal industry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association, 'the guarantee to every one of a free exercise of his industry, and the fruits acquired by it.
'" - Thomas Jefferson

"Democracy extends the sphere of individual freedom; socialism restricts it. Democracy attaches all possible value to each man; socialism makes each man a mere agent, a mere number. Democracy and socialism have nothing in common but one word: equality. But notice the difference: while democracy seeks equality in liberty, socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude." - Alexis de Tocqueville, Discours pronounce a l'assemblee constituante le 12 septembre 1848 sur la question du droit at travail

"How do you tell a Communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an Anti-communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin." - Ronald Reagan

"Socialism is the doctrine that man has no right to exist for his own sake, that his life and his work do not belong to him, but belong to society, that the only justification of his existence is his service to society, and that society may dispose of him in any way it pleases for the sake of whatever it deems to be its own tribal, collective good." - Ayn Rand

"Socialism in general has a record of failure so blatant that only an intellectual could ignore or evade it." - Thomas Sowell

And the quote the government wants you to believe was never uttered:

"Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up, and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable - a most sacred right - a right, which we hope and believe, is to liberate the world." - Abraham Lincoln

Open Letter to the ACLU and Liberals Everywhere:

I had to write you folks and let you know as a STAUNCH Libertarian, I am not fooled. According to Websters:

Communism

Com"mu*nism.., n. [F. communisme, fr. commun common.]

A scheme of equalizing the social conditions of life; specifically, a scheme which contemplates the abolition of inequalities in the possession of property, as by distributing all wealth equally to all, or by holding all wealth in common for the equal use and advantage of all.

Note the definition says "distributing all wealth equally to all...". What you stand for, what Obama Stands for, is Communism. Denial of this is irresponsible, and ignorant. In September 1959 Kruschev was visiting Roswell Garst in Coon Rapids, Iowa, he said to Garst: "You Americans are so Naive. We won't try to take over, we will keep introducing little bits of Socialism until one day you realize all you have, now, is Communism."

You hate America. You hate Liberty. You hate Christians. You hate the unborn. The fear mongers are now on the left side of the aisle.

I am not fooled. I know who you are, I know what you stand for, and unfortunately for you, I am well versed in my history.

When you finally get your way and have a totalitarian regime in charge of America, I am one of the first you will have to execute. I will not be silent and I will not renounce my faith.

Do your worst. My soul is immortal. You may win this earthly battle, but you will lose the spiritual war.

The Obama Healthcare Solution

Everyone complains about healthcare. So a while back, Duval Patrick signed into law a plan in Massachusetts that required residents to have healthcare or be fined heavily. Not a solution, more like a band aid for a major laceration. The lower income groups still really don't have healthcare. They just have a $200.00 a month money pit that offers them real no coverage.

At $200.00 a month, you basically have around a $1000.00 deductable, meaning all fees are yours to pay until the $1000.00 has been spent from your pocket. If you're living paycheck to paycheck, this scenario doesn't work as you don't have the money to spend to begin with. So you go to the hospital during an emergency, don't pay the emergency room fee (which in many plans is in addition to the deductable), and money for your deductable later being billed for an amount that will go into collections. Sounds like the same scenario without imposed healthcare? It is.

Also, in a plan this cheap that you are footing the bill for on your own as your employer is Uncle Fred's Pizza, your surgical coverage is almost nill, your co-pays for medications and office visits are insane, and some things simply aren't covered.

This is a better choice? This is change? Obama had better realize quickly that the Duval Patrick system of healthcare is nothing more than a band aid where a tourniquet is required. How about a minimal healthcare system where a reduced fee is payed per month for the economically challenged that is easier on the wallet and does not have un-covered areas. You can't completely socialize our healthcare without un-employing millions of people.

Change means different ideas, not re-hashed bad ones that didn't accomplish anything. Let's see what you are made of, Obama.

The TRUTH About Obama's Socialist Message

Those who are ignorant to history,
Are cursed to repeat it.

Don't repeat the vote of Early 20th century USSR, China, and Mid Century Cuba.

Facts About Barack Obama

Since some of you insist on blindly voting for Obama, let's review a few facts about him.

1. His legal citizenship has never been proven before a Judge with hard, tangible evidence reviewed by credible sources in no way linked to the left wing.

2. He preaches communism. EG: Redistribution of wealth. Don't believe me? If you actually give a crap and aren't voting for Obama just out of anger for the other side, read on:

Communism

Com"mu*nism.., n. [F. communisme, fr. commun common.]

A scheme of equalizing the social conditions of life; specifically, a scheme which contemplates the abolition of inequalities in the possession of property, as by distributing all wealth equally to all, or by holding all wealth in common for the equal use and advantage of all.

-Communism. (n.d.). Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary.
Retrieved November 01, 2008, from Dictionary. com website: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Communism

3. We simply know too little about Obama. His records have been sealed, as I posted in an earlier bulletin, and there are 4 lawsuits against him challenging his legal citizenship. He has ignored all 4.

Of those of you voting for Obama, I can break down your reasons simply.

1. Angry with the right wing. And, as the rotten pattern of this country goes, instead of looking at the other 12 parties running, you vote with "the other guy" on the other side of the aisle, too afraid to give your vote to someone who might actually be qualified.

2. You have a view of self-entitlement. "I deserve." Sorry, my friends. You deserve squat. If you don't work, you don't eat. It's biblical.

3.You want Communism. And this, I can only gather, stems from the hatred of America, and for that, you get no sympathy.

Now, for those of you who were oblivious to the facts I just posted, will you still vote for him? Logic would denote you couldn't possibly because you may be handing the keys of the country over to a closet future 3rd world dictator. Is being angry with the right wing worth it? Is a free meal worth it?

No way.

Obama Like Famous Communists?

Evidently, this woman doesn't know history, and further strong-arms you into a leftist account on her website before she allows comment. Typical.

From http://www.pamshouseblend.com

Let me see if I have this straight.

A McCain Campaign office has a poster comparing Obama to horrendous figures like Hitler and Mussolini - and also mocks youth voters - in plain view for who knows how long, yet the Chairman is surprised and "speechless"? And his solution is to move the person behind it to another office to keep working for the campaign?

Way to tamp down the crazy rhetoric...

The AD:

Who else called for change in this fashion? Each and every one called upon youth movements.

Karl Marx. Joseph Stalin. Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini. Fidel Castro.

Of those 5 people, 3 are Communists. It becomes indisputable to anyone who knows any history that soft Communism is clearly the message of the Obama Campaign. Particularly the recent clear emergence of the message to Joe the Plumber, "I'm taking your money you earned through hard work, and giving it to some lazy bum who has been living off of the welfare system and has no desire to get off of it." This is how 3rd world countries end up 3rd world countries. Through policies that create dictators.

I'm sorry, Pam, but this man is at least a Communist. Which gives him enormous potential to be a 3rd World Dictator. And this also makes him a traitor to American Liberty.

Ron Paul

I have to call all self-proclaimed Libertarians out on the mat. There is a lot of talk about Ron Paul (a Republican to begin with) being "the man for the job". The only problem is, he's not running anymore. People are just opting to write him in.

Now, anyone know reads this blog knows I am not for being bullied by the two-party system and voting for the same old thing again for the 100th year in a row. However, voting for someone who's not running is mindless, and as dumb as writing in Mickey Mouse.

If Libertarians cannot unite on a principle as basic as agreeing on our candidate, how do we expect the country to trust us to run "the big show"? There is no arguing that Ron Paul was a strong candidate. However, the fact is, he's not running. Bob Barr is.

We need to unite. We must unite. Stop giving your vote to a non-sequitur.

So What If Obama Is Muslim?

Campbell Brown
CNN - Excerpt

So what if Obama was Arab or Muslim? So what if John McCain was Arab or Muslim? Would it matter?

When did that become a disqualifier for higher office in our country? When did Arab and Muslim become dirty words? The equivalent of dishonorable or radical?

Whenever this gets raised, the implication is that there is something wrong with being an Arab-American or a Muslim. And the media is complicit here, too.

Ok, let's play this game with Campbell.

Let's assume she forgot that on 9/11 an enemy we couldn't weed out of a crowd of people if we wanted to killed 2,740 people. Let's also assume she forgot that these men claimed to be men of faith, and part of Islam. Most Americans didn't know who was friend and who was foe and we still can't weed them out very well. Let's also assume she forgot that Barack Obama refused access to his birth certificate conveinantly located in Hawaii, one of 2 states where such a document is not a matter of public record.

"Yes, but he says he's Christian."

Maybe this little ipso-facto escaped her:

From http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/Quran/011-taqiyya.htm

Muslim scholars teach that Muslims should be truthful to each other.

There are two forms of lying to non-believers that are permitted under certain circumstances, taqiyya and kitman. One of those circumstances is to gain the trust of non-believers in order to draw out their vulnerability and defeat them.

So, if Obama, who's name is rather Islamic, IS in fact a Muslim, Islamic teaching permits him to "lie to the infidel" in order to gain our trust with the ultimate goal being to defeat. Conveinantly, leftys either are oblivious to this fact, are in denial of it's exsistance, or they know it and it's part of the agenda. All 3 are bad.

However, it is the opinion of .12 Gauge that Barack Obama is more likely a Communist than a Jihading Muslim and will usher in either the onset of Soft Communism or The North American Union, given our understanding of Biblical Prophecy. And yes, we do read it.

Bailout Earmarks Means Other Choices May Be Better

October 3rd, San Francisco Chronicle
While crafting a bill intended to rescue the U.S. economy this week, lawmakers couldn't stop themselves from adding billions of dollars in tax breaks that have little to do with restoring confidence in financial markets.

Senators quietly tucked a number of earmarks into the tax package of the 451-page bill that was passed Wednesday night and is expected to be put to a vote in the House today: a $2 million tax benefit for makers of wooden arrows for children; a $100 million tax break to benefit auto racetrack owners; $192 million in rebates on excise taxes for the Puerto Rican and Virgin Islands rum industry; $148 million in tax relief for U.S. wool fabric producers; and a $49 million tax benefit for fishermen and other plaintiffs who sued over the 1989 tanker Exxon Valdez spill.

Many of the tax breaks were put in place years ago and were set to expire. But their inclusion is complicating efforts in the House to pass an economic rescue plan; an earlier attempt failed Monday. Several House Republicans railed on Thursday against the pork-packed bailout bill.

Having an Earmark on a bill intended to stop a faltering economy is like spending money hand over fist when you know damn well your checking account is seriously overdrawn. Yet America continues to insist on voting for a two-party system, a system that as continuously screwed them for the last 100 years.

McCain or Obama. The choices given are like electing a stay of execution between 2 choices even though 12 more exist: You want to face the firing squad or be beheaded? 3 of your 12 choices? Live Free, Die Old, Enjoy Liberty, OR, Get Back To American Basics plus the other 9 other alternate choices, most of which are guaranteed to be better than a stay of execution. Yes, that number is 12. What are they? Glad you asked:

Seems to me there are 12 alternative choices people are ignoring or failing to read up on due to the bullying tactics of the Left and Right wings of the current two-party system... Fed up yet America?

The Mistake Of Voting The Same.

For 100 years people have done the same thing over and over. "Boy this Democrat really pisses me off, I'm voting republican!" Then, 4 t0 8 years later, "Ugh. This Republican really irks me, I'm voting democrat."

Albert Einstein once said that Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Most Americans still regard him as a genius, those who don't, no doubt, do so to support their political agenda. However, this is the current state of our voting masses. Insanity.

In 2000 they were fed-up with the Clinton Administration. In an act of outrage, they voted for the Republican Party. Eight years later, we find ourselves with the same group now vowing to vote Democrat despite the obvious and indisputable similarities between Barack Obama and Benito Amilcare Andrea Mussolini, or more recently, Fidel Castro.

Everyone wants things like healthcare handled by the government. They angrily demand that the rich surrender profits to a government agency and be given to the "less fortunate", or as I prefer to call many of them, the lazy sheeple. None of these people, even when presented with hard facts, will admit the scary fact that some of the left wing ideals are in the 64 Points of Communism, which includes "Infiltrate one or both Political parties..." They outright deny that this is possible and call anyone who thinks it is, "Crazy".

The folly of voting the same way, the same pattern, for 100 years is that one becomes brainwashed into thinking anything else will be a waste despite the fact that during the early years of America, we were a 4 party system. Those who don't know history are not only doomed to repeat it, but miss out on some pretty undisputable facts that just may save their freedom.

Bob Barr - Your 3rd Choice For the Election.

Alot of people poo-poo the idea of a third party, dismissing it as a throw-away vote. Don't get me started, folks... This video will take you 48 minutes, but it just may give you a choice you didn't have before that you don't feel ashamed of making...

Bailing Out The Sinking Ship

After meeting nearly around the clock for two days, a bipartisan group of Congressional leaders reached a tentative agreement with the Bush administration early Sunday morning on a compromise financial bailout bill that is less sweeping than the original proposal crafted by Treasury Secretary Henry M. Paulson, and includes more oversight, accountability and taxpayer protections. Congressional staff members worked through the night to draft a bill that would be brought to the House floor for a vote on Monday. -Blogger News Network

When did America have a complete lapse of common sense? I mean, we all saw it coming. You know, when that old crow woman sued McDonald's over hot coffee she spilled in her lap citing, "She didn't know the coffee would be hot since there was no warning on the cup."

But now we are making giant strides towards finalizing the NAU by converting America to full blown Socialism. Government ownership of corporations is an ideal based in communism. The government tells you what your profit will be, what wage to pay what worker, and a ton of other rules and regulations they decide on. The opposite of Capitalism.

It no longer appears that America is clueless, rather, it would seem the mass unwashed are now embracing this idea of shedding all personal responsibility not realizing their future is painted with the colors of Red China. People quickly forget, "Not all that glitters is always Gold." Too true.

They will find, no doubt, that Universal Healthcare doesn't function as well as they had been told. In fact, it's worse than an HMO, as nuts as that sounds. Redistribution of wealth only leaves the poor poorer and government bureaucrats more powerful and corrupt.

As far as the bailout goes, let's face it. Everyone is afraid. This could be 1929 all over again. But it's possible that it could self correct over time, and re-stabilize. It also may be the only viable option if we wish to preserve freedom.

Democrats Don't Get It.

Democrats are more concerned with protecting the rights of terrorists that protecting the lives of Americans. - Conservative JPEG Propaganda.

Well here's a surprise, someone with all the understanding of a brain dead ivy leaguer responded to this, by the way, true statement, with this hate-laced tirade.

I don't suspect that any reader of this blog still needs a reason to vote, but here's some gravy: your vote can serve as a nice, big, satisfying Fuck You to treacherous sleazebag Bernie Steve Minarik, who produced the above piece. Had enough? Vote Democrat.

Maybe we are sick of you trying to establish a communist state in our country you oxygen thief. Yeah, you can't get it to happen by just taking over because the crude Constitution won't allow it. So you offer the illusion of Universal Healthcare (a many times failed experiment) and the very Marxist idea of redistribution of wealth as your bait and switch tactic for sneaking Communism into the country. But we are on to you, here's a definition of your precious "Socialism":

Socialism refers to a broad set of economic theories of social organization advocating state or collective ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods. Modern socialism originated in the late nineteenth-century working class political movement. Karl Marx posited that socialism would be achieved via class struggle and a proletarian revolution, it being the transitional stage between capitalism and communism. -Wikipedia

Hey America, what part of this don't you get? Or, do you all actually pine to be enslaved? It's a travesty and utterly disgusting that we have reached this point in America. The idea we actually have someone as obnoxiously Marxist as Obama even running at all is an abomination.
