ON THE ROAD TO SOCIALISM. IT'S TIME FOR AN HONEST DEBATE.

Socialism can be defined as “an economic and political theory based on public or common ownership and cooperative management of the means of production and allocation of resources”. The basic premise is that everything is collective under the direction of government. Government rules. The winners are the rulers.

If we analyze what is happening, in America, the indicators are saying we are headed towards socialism. Our government is growing bigger and more powerful They’ve created greater controls through more regulations. The Health Care and Financial Reform Legislation meet that criteria. When government takes over manufacturing and banks it meets that criteria. They don’t believe in a capitalistic society. When the Congress is no longer relevant and decisions are made by czars and unions it becomes clear that something is wrong. When government obstructs, instead of enforcing laws, we must be concerned; examples: Acorn, Black Panthers, and immigration. Laws are for everyone, government can’t arbitrarily decide who the law applies to.

The signs and actions of what government is doing should make every citizen worried. When a once great nation bows to foreign leaders and turns it’s back on allies, aren’t you concerned? Don’t you ask yourself, what’s happening? When our government fails to abide by the Constitution and treats it as an outdated document, aren’t you concerned? When new legislation is so ambiguous that leaders tell you “you’ll find out later”. Do you accept that? When your representatives fail to read legislation and vote on command, do you accept that as good government? When the President dictates the outcome and timelines for legislation do you agree? Where is the debate? Are the voices of the people being heard? Does you representative care what you think? Why don’t we have term or age limits and enforceable ethics to rid government of corruption? If you’re not upset or angry, do you accept socialism as the way to go? Maybe this is the type of government you want.

We the people have allowed this to happen. We have become complacent and trusted our elected officials. What have we gotten: insurmountable deficits, high unemployment, attempts to redistribute the wealth, a bigger and more powerful government, bureaucrats who treat themselves like kings ( they can’t buy their own newspapers, bottled water, donuts, coffee or lunches). There is talk of a one world government and the dismantling of the Electoral College. The founding fathers fought for less government, less taxes, greater freedoms and liberty. Washington tells us they are transforming the country. They say “we’re not going back”, but that’s exactly where we’re headed, 1750. Is this the transformation you want? We need to get back to basics; we need to follow the Constitution We need to get back on track. To make that happen, we the voters must go to the polls and elect people who believe and will defend the Constitution. People who are proud of America and will dedicate their service to liberty, freedom and our motto “In God We Trust”.
