THEPATRIOTJOURNAL.COM: The Marxists Just Don't Get It
The Marxists Just Don't Get It
They still don't get it! The Marxist Democrats, along with the most inexperienced President ever to take office, seem to think that if they keep lying, somehow, someday, we are going to start believing them. Why is it that immediately after signing into law the healthcare bill, Obama is going on a campaign tour to promote it? They think we are stupid that's why. The really funny part of all of this is that Americans are more informed now than ever. Most Americans know more about the specifics of the bill than the Marxist Democrats that voted for it. Listen up President Obama! We read the bill and we still reject it. Only the true leftist believers and the uninformed want Obamacare. The rest of us know what this is going to do to the quality and the quantity of healthcare, let alone the federal budget. But despite falling poll numbers and an enormous grassroots uprising against their policies, they plow on with the same arrogant, patronizing march to socialism and communism.
"Oh Michael there you go again calling people names" I don't mean it to be an insult. I am simply calling them what they are. Wealth redistribution and "social justice" are Marxist ideas. Marxist is a term that originated from the writings of a Jewish, German philosopher named Karl Marx, who wrote the "Communist Manifesto". Calling it any other name doesn't change the philosophy. "Progressive" is the new word of today and sooner or later they will have to hijack another word when they have worn that one out. If you have never read radical leftist professor Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals" I suggest you do. You will be amazed at the clockwork precision that Obama and the Marxist Democrats are following Alinsky's plans to turn our capitalist country into a communist country. True believers like Obama will sacrifice everything for the end result. The leftist believes that if they can get social entitlement legislation passed it will be impossible to repeal. The reasoning behind that is that once people get used to something and depend on it they don't want to lose it. They are absolutely right. Look at Social Security, look at Medicare and Medicaid. Look at welfare.
Well what's wrong with those you say? All of them take something from someone to give for free to another. There isn't a problem with that when programs are used as a helping hand to get back on your feet. However when dependency on the federal government for your survival becomes cradle to grave, we have a problem. I urge all of you to watch the movie "Precious". You will see what government dependence has done to people. Everywhere you have people collecting checks and not producing you have crime and drug abuse and low expectations. Government dependence has never worked anywhere the leftists have pushed it. I can't imagine the indignity of depending on others for my survival and livelihood. The self confidence gained from enjoying the fruits of your own labor is fabulous and makes you want to work even harder. Someone said to me, "So you think it should be every man for himself?" Yes! People must stop depending on others to pay their way. We need an intervention for the entire dependent class. If you plan to retire with Social Security as your main source of income you had better think twice. No matter the promises, every entitlement program is broke as we speak.
If the government collapsed tomorrow what would these people do? You have to know how to make it on your own and be forced to do it. I know there are times in our world that people need help to get back on their feet for whatever reason. We have programs already in place for that. If you live in Michigan and have been laid off from GM for a year and a half and your unemployment runs out and you have 3 children to feed, Yes, you need help to carry on until you are called back or find another job to sustain. I haven't got a problem with that whatsoever. What I do have a problem with is de-funding and bankrupting a program called Medicaid that was created to solve the "uninsured" indigent problem, and then totally swallowing the entire health care industry. It's sort of like breaking a radio knob and throwing the entire car away for a more expensive clunker that has been proven to be a money pit at best.
Medicare and Medicaid are the top deniers of healthcare claims in the country above and beyond any private insurance company. Amazing huh? They won't tell you fun facts like that. No, they use the conquer and divide method of convincing people that the 'real' enemies are the rich, evil insurance and pharmaceutical companies. Yes, the same ones that employ tens of thousands of Americans and are probably in every single Americans' 401k portfolio. The same companies that have invented more medicines and cures for diseases than any foreign country. The same companies that have given us healthcare that is the envy of the world. Obama is right about one thing, healthcare is expensive. It shouldn't be as expensive as it is.
The reason that healthcare is expensive is the same reason that it is more expensive to live in the state of Massachusetts than it is to live in the state of Nevada. Government! Government is the reason for the extra expense of everything. Think of it this way; If there were only one sandwich shop in your area and you liked sandwiches, you would either buy their sandwiches or drive a long way to get another. That is what the federal government is doing to us. They are trying to become the only option in town or out of town. How would you solve the one bad sandwich town problem? You or someone else opens an alternative sandwich shop and make better sandwiches. Which would in turn force the formerly only sandwich shop owner to make better sandwiches at a better price. Capitalism and the free market work without a hitch as long as government keeps their imprint to a minimum. No I don't believe in a government free society. I demand a government that regulates to promote more freedom not to take more freedom and hard earned wealth to expand itself.
Competition and individual rewards are what motivate people to do better and create more, not sitting in a government subsidized apartment waiting for the mailman to bring a welfare check. We have survived and thrived beyond all others without Obamacare for the last 234 years and we will thrive long after Obama is gone and Obamacare has been repealed. However, if this allowed to continue, more and more people will become dependent on the government and less and less people will be paying in to sustain it. Eventually the producers are going to stop producing and the entire house of cards will fall. Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security are already insolvent as we speak. How are we going to pay for another trillion dollar program? We can't. Everything they are spending now is borrowed money that you and I and our grandchildrens' grandchildren will have to pay back with interest.
Why don't more people get that? It is baffling to me that people could support a government operating in a continuous deficit. What would you say to a friend, that was in debt up to his or her ears, that tells you they are going to take out another loan to buy something they do not need? You would tell them "don't be a moron!". The government is doing exactly that. Look at some of the states that do not have the luxury of printing more money. California is a great example of morons running the state into the ground. Now they are complaining because teachers are getting laid off. My heart bleeds for all of the leftist indoctrinators that now have to sit home and smoke pot between cry sessions. Maybe they should have all thought of that before. California is in debt to their own people for billions. It is just another example of leftists in charge of government. Look at every state in trouble and who has controlled their legislatures and cities? Ding Ding Correct! Democrats. Who is in charge of Detroit and Cleveland and Washington D.C., the poster children for how to destroy a once thriving and prosperous city, and have been for years and years? Wow you are so smart! Correct again, Democrats. People voted with their feet in Detroit, Conservatives have been long gone for 40 years, the others slowly filed out and soon after the freeloaders went with their fellow locusts. What's left is a hollow shell of a once proud city. The hardy freeloaders still there are still voting Democrat. You reap what you sew.
Democrats are like locusts. They ruin their home towns, cities, and states. Then they move to places that are doing just fine but aren't artsy enough or they allow smoking in of all places a bar, God forbid smoking in a bar! Then they start voting and attract other like minded Democrats and eventually run for office. Then they strip the place bare and increase the cost of living to a point that is unbearable. However, instead of staying and living in their own toilet creation they move to the next wonderful place and proceed to destroy them. Then they wonder why people cannot stand them. In Nevada there is a seething hatred of Californians that move here and try this. So far we have been lucky in thwarting them but I am afraid that now that California is going to be down for a while they will start coming here in droves. I say we put up a border checkpoint and charge them for a visitors visa then arrest them and deport them back to California if they stay past their visa. Or have a sign at the border that says "If you are a leftist and want to change us, turn your car around and drive home. You are not welcome in Nevada!" I can only dream.
The problem still remains that you have these people that are determined to force all of us to do things their way come hell or high water. This is always going on. While we live our lives and have fun the leftists never stop plotting, and never stop trying to advance their agenda. On top of all of this they still truly believe that they are intellectually more advanced than we are. They think of us as the dumb population that doesn't know what's good for them. They are like teenagers that think they are smarter than their parents, but leftists unlike the teenager, never grow up and tell you later that you were right all along. Letting Marxists run your government is like trusting that a hyperactive chimp with a hammer, let loose in your house will not break things. Its that bad. Their relentless nature demands that we are equally vigilant, forever. Freedom must be fought for by everyone that wants it, for the rest of eternity. Otherwise you will eventually lose it to people that think they are more intelligent than you are. It's that bad and yes it makes me just as angry, and more determined than ever.
We all have to mobilize in the run up to November and defeat the Marxists or otherwise we doom our wonderful country to terminal failure and worse. President Bush would say, "The Marxists are going to hear all of us soon!"

Nevermind that I've worked all my life, (including on off-shore oil rigs) have my own business, have studied history, and followed politics and world affairs for the past 40 years, I am the "know it all, teenager" and you are the "parent". In the 60's and 70's I recall a great deal of ignorant extremism from the left. Now it's coming from the right. My great great grandfather fought for the confederacy, in spite of the fact that the confederacy was no friend to poor working white families. Just as they were fooled into fighting for the wealthy to own slaves to keep their wages low and jobs limited, the Tea Party people are taking it hook, line and sinker. There is no communist threat. Communism is just as foolish as laissez faire libertarianism. Both lead to tyranny. Communism's tyranny comes from the government, while laissez faire libertarianism leads to tyranny from the greedy and the wealthy. Greed has been the source of our troubles. And the forces of greed have you fooled. They don't want to be regulated and you are falling for it. Wrap it in God and the flag and some will fall for anything. Reply to this

First of all thank you for the comment.
You are absolutely right. I have been hooked by the best of them. If Jesus Christ, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, James Madison, Abraham Lincoln and Ronald Reagan are the forces of greed then I am the as greedy as they get! But I am not greedy for money I am greedy for freedom and a government that governs from the foundations established by the Founding Fathers that created it. I am not a laissez-faire libertarian and I am not a communinst. I am a conservative, God fearing, patriotic American that believes and lives to the best of my abilities to the motto that is part of the banner of this blog. God, Family and America, Nothing else matters! I find it an insult that you would assume that my thoughts and actions were somehow dictated or even influenced by the faceless "forces of greed". It is the leftist that assumes the masses are being led by the nose because they do not know better. Because I do know better and I do not conform with the leftist cause I am a threat and must be discredited and silenced. If this is your goal I must inform you that it will never happen as long as their is life in my body. Your choices are read and learn or go to a leftist site and complain about the conservative revolution that is retaking the country in ever aspect.
