…and the onslaught continues. For decades, the United States of America has been on a steady decline toward socialism. Have you ever questioned the idea of voting for the ‘lesser of two evils’? We continue to do so today expecting things will get better. Does it get any better or do we continue to see the slide toward socialism? We see more of our rights, freedom and liberty taken away. Did the ‘lesser of two evils’ keep America on the Constitutional track? Do you believe our Country is better off having voted for the ‘lesser of two evils’?
“Under capitalism men provide for themselves, while under Socialism they are provided for.” Ludwig von Mises
I have also been guilty of voting for the ‘lesser of two evils’. The idea was to keep the most ‘evil’ candidate from entering office. During my life, I have come to realize that in doing so I was compromising my principles, my values and those of my country. Something I will no longer do. I find this idea similar to congress crossing the aisle in an attempt to compromise. What are they compromising; their principles, their values? Are they not compromising my principles and my values? Why is it that we, the Republican Party are the ones that always seem to cross the aisle? In doing so, we always seem to be the ones that concede. The Republican Party has lost all credibility. I no longer consider myself a Republican and have not for some time.
“For liberals, supposedly good intentions always trump results.” David Limbaugh
The year 2009 will be the beginning of another era of America’s slide into socialism/Fascism. Which one of the candidates is the ‘lesser of the evils’; Hillary Klinton, Barrack Hussein Obama or John (I am a hero) McCain? With this choice what ‘changes’ are you expecting? Do you expect lower taxes and a smaller government with less government spending? Do you expect government to round up all 12+ million illegal aliens and send them home? Do you expect one of these candidates to start adhering to our Constitutional principles? Do you expect no amnesty for illegal aliens? Do you expect our borders to be secure? Do you believe we will regain the freedom and liberty that we lost in the past? If you expect these things to happen, you are living in a dream world. Government controlled health care will become another disaster just like social security. America will be even closer to electing a dictator. It was during Bill Klinton’s reign that he mentioned the 22nd Amendment was a hindrance.
“Every socialist is a disguised dictator.” Ludwig von Mises
Let us look at some current issues that affect citizens today. Take for instance the current housing disaster. Why are the taxpayers bailing out those that made bad decisions? The dollar is at its lowest price ever. All planned. Fascism is against individual property ownership. This is a mechanism for achieving government control. For years, landowners have had to sell off much of their land to pay taxes. Death Taxes - a ludicrous idea conjured up by our government. Land that has been in the family for generations and those that inherit the land can no longer keep what was rightfully theirs. The land continues to shrink into smaller and smaller increments. Government will continue its eminent domain claim over your land. Does ‘Texas Corridor 69’ sound familiar? If you are in its path, bend over and grab your ankles because your government is on the way. Eminent Domain is a hot topic today and many have gone to the courts to resolve issues.
“Beware the greedy hand of government, thrusting itself into every corner and crevice of industry.” Thomas Paine
You say you want ‘change’. Going back to our Constitutional foundation would be a great start. For decades the ‘lesser of two evils’ has helped to erode our rights of free speech. Political correctness is quickly becoming our First Amendment. We have seen our Second Amendment rights violated many times. If we lose our Second Amendment rights, the remaining Amendments will soon follow. The Second Amendment not only protects the other amendments it also gives us the right to protect our families, our country and ourselves. Socialism believes that you do not have a God given right to self-defense.
“The welfare state is merely a method for transforming the market economy step by step into socialism.” Ludwig von Mises
Immigrants have invaded the United States of America. Not all immigrants want to assimilate and become American citizens. Some of these immigrants have entered the United States bringing with them their agenda for Americas destruction. Remember 911. How soon we forget. They will do anything and everything to insure America’s failure. They will stop at nothing to meet their agenda. There are individuals, groups, organizations and even companies that help in trying to achieve this goal. Groups such as the Sierra Club, Greenpiece, PETA and others keep America from being independent and secure.
“Government is not the solution to our problems. Government IS the problem!” Ronald Reagan
Not only are we seeing problems with immigrants, we are seeing problems with native born citizens, citizens that have been programmed from birth by either their parents, grandparents or other outside organizations. How about our public school indoctrination centers? Over decades, the term ‘incrementalism’ has been used to describe this slow decay of America’s sovereignty.
“I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.” Thomas Jefferson
The 1990 has brought Bill Klinton and the decline increased at a faster pace. Many groups came out of the closet. President Bush played his part well. During his first term, his ratings were high and he did everything to appease the public. Bush was a likable person doing everything right. His second term went to hell in a hand basket. In my opinion, it was all planned, all contrived. If you look at all the pieces, the puzzle is coming together. Sadly, many cannot see the big picture or choose not to. How many times have you heard ‘Oh, it can’t happen here’? Maybe you have even said it yourself. Well folks, it is happening here. Moreover, the quicker you see it the better off we will be. A good friend of mine said, “We are evolving from saving America to taking America back.” I believe she is right. We have reached that point.
“A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.”
George Bernard Shaw

…and the President says America is still strong…. ‘Don’t worry, be happy’!
