    Obama's view of the future of America - Socialism which is the next step to Communism!!


    Under socialism a ruling class of intellectuals, bureaucrats and social planners decide what people want or what is good for society and then use the coercive power of the State to regulate, tax, and redistribute the wealth of those who work for a living. In other words, socialism is a form of legalized theft.

    The morality of socialism can be summed-up in two words: envy and self-sacrifice. Envy is the desire to not only possess another's wealth but also the desire to see another's wealth lowered to the level of one's own. Socialism's teaching on self-sacrifice was nicely summarized by two of its greatest defenders, Hermann Goering and Bennito Mussolini. The highest principle of Nazism (National Socialism), said Goering, is: "Common good comes before private good." Fascism, said
    Mussolini, is "a life in which the individual, through the sacrifice of his own private interests??realizes that completely spiritual existence in which his value as a man lies."

    Socialism is the social system which institutionalizes envy and self-sacrifice: It is the social system which uses compulsion and the organized violence of the State to expropriate wealth from the producer class for its redistribution to the parasitical class.

    Despite the intellectuals' psychotic hatred of capitalism, it is the only moral and just social system.

    Capitalism is the only moral system because it requires human beings to deal with one another as traders--that is, as free moral agents trading and selling goods and services on the basis of mutual consent.

    Capitalism is the only just system because the sole criterion that determines the value of thing exchanged is the free, voluntary, universal judgement of the consumer. Coercion and fraud are anathema to the free-market system.

    It is both moral and just because the degree to which man rises or falls in society is determined by the degree to which he uses his mind. Capitalism is the only social system that rewards merit, ability and achievement, regardless of one's birth or station in life.

    Yes, there are winners and losers in capitalism. The winners are those who are honest, industrious, thoughtful, prudent, frugal, responsible, disciplined, and efficient. The losers are those who are shiftless, lazy, imprudent, extravagant, negligent, impractical, and inefficient. [What about the role of luck­being in the right place at the right time or the wrong place at the wrong time? R. R. Pope}

    Capitalism is the only social system that rewards virtue and punishes vice. This applies to both the business executive and the carpenter, the lawyer and the factory worker.

    What exactly do democrats hsve to explain. First; republican economic policies don't work unless you make more than 500,000 a year, second; what happened to Newt's contract with America and W's compassionate conservatism,hmmm, they lied. That covers 20 years of republican ideology and if you include the 30 years before that it only gets worse. Let us for once deal with facts in an election cycle and stay away from the inantile dribble like the Clinton runnin drugs thing, Gore inventing the internet thing, or Kerry being denounced by noone who actually served with him thing. Eventually family values must include truthfullness. Also we must decide if this is a strictly religous country or a free country; it cannot be both and our founders knew that, thus the first ammendment, which Bush and McCain have done well to trample. Remember the free speech zones and our right to peacably assemble. Republicans have much more explaining to do.

    John McCain will win, the truth will be told. He is the only real choice

    Sarah Palin is a mom of 5, a soon to be grandmother, and loves to hunt. She is the Governor of a state of 600,000 and was the Mayor of a town of 6000. She hired a lobbyist to bring in earmarks over 28 million dollars, and as Governor has requested more earmarks than any other state per ca pita.

    She is tough. When the news media keeps telling everyone that she did not sell the state jet on ebay, or that she was not always against the bridge to nowhere, she sticks to her scripts. In the face of truth, she is able to repeat her stomp speech and not change a thing. Not many politicians can say that.

    She stood up to Charlie Gibson in her interview and said, "Yes, I am ready to be president." She is ready. How many people can say they are ready to be president. Why do the liberals want to ask her questions about her past or what she believes in? This is not fair. She has a right to be VP without explaining herself.

    She also stated that she did not blink when McCain asked her to be VP. This is proof that she is a patriot. She will take on Russia, and go to war if necessary to protect our great US of A. She is ready to be VP and even President.

    McCain knew it after meeting with her twice that she was his soul mate. McCain's gut told him- now that is the kind of guy that I want leading the country. A man that tosses reason and logic out of the window and goes with his gut. Unlike that wimp Obama; who wants to talk or use diplomacy first.

    Proven by all of the things I have listed. Who cares about The Bush Doctrine? She is a mother of 5, not a baby killer. She looks like the girl next door, and has a comprehensive energy plan that includes only drilling. She will not drill in Indiana, Ohio or Michigan, but there will be lots of jobs in Alaska- America's Last Frontier.

    I just don't get why liberals are so squeamish about seeing pictures/video of what was done to us on 9/11. This is not a celebration of those events, it is a reminder that we were attacked by Muslim extremists and that we are at war with them. Make no mistake, they would like nothing better than to do it all over again. If you hide these images away as if they never happened, it will be forgotten about and we will grow complacent again and open ourselves up to further attacks. I know it is politically incorrect but we need to see these images on a regular basis. It was NOT an attack against New York -- it was an attack against America.

      Hiding the truth about this tragic day is what dem/libs want to do..It goes against what Obama believes, which is all we have to do is negotiate and leave well enough alone and we wont be bothered..WRONG..Clinton did that tactic and look where it put us...Remember WTC episode one, 9/11, OKC and never forget that its what happens when we sit by and let ANY terrorist do as they wish...

    A dramatic scene developed today on the flight carrying Senator Obama to the campaign rally at the Rosenberg Memorial. He walked down the isle towards reporters and unexpectedly said: "How dare John McCain talk about his scars. As if to imply that I have not suffered. That I have not sacrificed. I too have scars." With that the Junior Senator from Illinois lifted his pants to reveal several scars on his knees. He then allowed reporters to look up his nose and examine his nasal septum. "I too have scars." Several reporters openly wept. A few asked if he had any scars on the palms of his hand and dorsum of his feet.

    Obamas Radical Roots And Rules
    By INVESTORS BUSINESS DAILY | Posted Thursday, August 14, 2008 4:20 PM PT

    Election '08: Most Americans REVILE SOCIALISM, yet Barack Obamas poll numbers remain competitive. One explanation: He is a longtime disciple of a man (Saul Alinsky) whose mission was to TEACH RADICALS TO DISGUISE THEIR IDEOLOGY.

    The Democratic presidential nominees choice of the word CHANGE as his campaigns central slogan is not the product of focus-group studies, or the brainstorming sessions of his political consultants.

    One of Obamas main inspirations, SAUL ALINSKY, was a man dedicated to revolutionary change that he was convinced must be preceded by a passive, affirmative, non-challenging attitude toward CHANGE AMONG THE MASS OF OUR PEOPLE. They must feel so frustrated, so defeated, so lost, so futureless in the prevailing system that they are WILLING TO LET GO OF THE PAST AND CHANGE THE FUTURE.

    Saul Alinsky, circa 1946: Like Obama, he wanted CHANGE. Sen. Obama was TRAINED by Chicagos INDUSTRIAL AREAS FOUNDATION, founded in 1940 by the RADICAL ORGANIZER SAUL ALINSKY. In the 1980s, Obama spent years as director of the Developing Communities Project (DCP), which operated USING ALINSKYS STRATEGIES, and was involved with two other Alinsky-oriented entities, ACORN and PROJECT VOTE.

    On the OBAMA CAMPAIGN WEB SITE can be found a PHOTO of him teaching in a University of Chicago classroom with POWER ANALYSIS AND RELATIONSHIPS BUILT ON SELF INTEREST written on the blackboard ??? key terms utilized in the Alinsky method.

    The far-left Alinsky had no time for liberalism or liberals, declaring that a liberal is (someone) who puts his foot down firmly on thin air. He WANTED NOTHING LESS THAN TRANSFORMATIONAL RADICALISM. America was begun by its radicals, he wrote. America was built by its radicals. The hope and future of America lies with its radicals. And so, This is the job for todays radical . . . to FAN THE EMBERS OF HOPELESSNESS INTO A FLAME TO FIGHT. TO SAY, . . . LET US CHANGE IT TOGETHER!

    ALINSKY STUDENTS ranged from militant Indians to Chicanos to Puerto Ricans to blacks from all parts of the black power spectrum, from PANTHERS TO RADICAL

    (Continued from my post above - Obamas Radical Roots And Rules)

    PHILOSOPHERS, from a variety of campus activists, S.D.S. and others, to a priest who was joining a revolutionary party in South America.

    CAPITALISM always was considered the ENEMY. Americas corporations are a spiritual slum, he wrote, and their arrogance is the major threat to our future as a free society. Is it surprising that an ALINSKY DISCIPLE SUCH AS OBAMA can promise so blithely to increase taxes on CEOs?

    Obama calls his years as an ALINSKYESQUE COMMUNITY ORGANIZER in Chicago THE BEST EDUCATION I ever had, and where I learned the true meaning of my Christian faith. But as radicalism expert Richard Lawrence Poe has noted, CAMOUFLAGE is key to ALINSKY-STYLE ORGANIZING. In organizing coalitions of black churches in Chicago, Obama caught flak for not attending church himself. He became an instant churchgoer.

    Indeed, Alinsky believed in SACRIFICING ETHICS AND MORALS FOR THE GREAT CAUSE. Ethical standards must be elastic to stretch with the times, Alinsky wrote in his last book, Rules for Radicals, adding that ALL VALUES ARE RELATIVE IN A WORLD OF POLITICAL RELATIVITY.

    Published a year before Alinskys death in 1972, Rules for Radicals includes a dedication in which he gives an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical . . . who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom . . . Lucifer.

    Alinskys writings even explain what often seems like OBAMAS OVERSIZED EGO. In New Hampshire in January, for example, the senator told an audience that A BEAM OF LIGHT WILL COME DOWN UPON YOU, YOU WILL EXPERIENCE AN EPIPHANY . . . and you will suddenly realize that YOU MUST GO TO THE POLLS and VOTE FOR OBAMA.

    It was a bizarre spectacle, but consider that ALINSKY BELIEVED that anyone who is working against the haves is always facing odds, and in many cases heavy odds. If he or she does not have that complete self-confidence (or call it ego) that he can win, then the battle is lost before it is even begun.

    (Continued from my post above - Obamas Radical Roots And Rules)

    According to Alinsky, Ego must be so all-pervading that the PERSONALITY of the organizer is CONTAGIOUS, that it converts the people from despair to defiance, creating a mass ego.

    Alinsky also readily admitted that he did not trust the people themselves. It is the schizophrenia of a free society that we outwardly espouse faith in the people but inwardly have strong doubts whether the people can be trusted, he wrote. Seeking some meaning in life, the MIDDLE CLASS, according to Alinsky, TURN TO AN EXTREME

    CHAUVINISM AND BECOME DEFENDERS OF THE AMERICAN FAITH.

    This is evocative of Obamas remark during the primaries that small-town Americans are BITTER and cling to guns or religion.

    Obama is also following Alinskys instructions to the hard left for attaining power in America. In the last chapter of Rules for Radicals, titled The Way Ahead, is found this declaration: Activists and radicals, on and off our college campuses . . . people who are committed to change . . . must make a complete turnabout.

    Alinsky noted that our rebels have contemptuously rejected the values and way of life of the MIDDLE CLASS. They have stigmatized it as materialistic, decadent, bourgeois, degenerate, imperialistic, war-mongering, brutalized and corrupt.

    According to Alinsky, They are right, but he cautioned his comrades that the power and the people are in the big middle-class majority. Therefore, an effective radical activist discards the rhetoric that always says pig in reference to police officers, plus other forms of disguise, to radicalize parts of the middle class.

    Obamas RHETORICAL WINDOW-DRESSING is easily recognizable as ALINSKYESQUE CAMOUFLAGE. New annual spending of more than $340 billion, as estimated by the National Taxpayers Union, is merely a wish to recast the safety net woven by FDR and LBJ, as Obama describes it in his writings. The free market is disparaged as a winner-take-all economy. Big tax increases masquerade as restoring fairness to the economy.

    Barack Obamas CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN is simply SOCIALISM . . . imposed by stratagem because Americans have never believed in Marxist economics. Saul Alinsky understood this, and his ghost is alive and well. . . and threatening to haunt the White House.

    Scanning the TYPICAL response of the LIBERAL dems frame of mind, makes one wonder what these clueless dems are NOT GETTING.....FIRST, the basic and morst prevalent is the VICTIM mindset....that is the most predominant difference in a REPUBLICAN and a deo....While yall are sitting around waiting for somebody to GIVE you something...REPUBLICANS are rolling up their sleeves and DOING whatever it takes to make their lives better.....Secondly, REPUBLICANS are willing to put out more money to charities than all democrats combined....THIRDLY, Obama is a closet Muslim....finally admitted it and we've got it on TV for the WORLD to see...nobody who is CHRISTIAN would ever have a MOMENT where they would EVER make that kind of OOPS moment...Barack Hussein Obama???? IT IS WHAT IT IS and it's crazy and unbelieveable to most Americans that his name will even appear on the ballot in November....Considering the current situation in the USA's economy, the hostility around the globe, and the threat of nuclear weapons actually being USED withing the NEAR future....do you truly believe that Osama is capable of making sound decisons that will protect your children, grandchildren, friends and family???? I would much rather have somebody who knows how ugly things can get, and hope that he isn't FORCED to use that knowledge than having somebody who is CLUELESS about either the economy corrections that have to be made or how to deal with the BULLIES who wish to demolish our great nation!!!!!!!

    • Posted By: msdx @ 09/09/2008 10:24:36 AM

      CLUELESS? Are you absolutely out of your mind do you have eyes? Man unemployment is 6% and rising. Gas is still around 4$ groceries costs an arm and a leg. The Republicans will be giving tax cuts to people making OVER $150k. Do you make 150k? Or are you just an idiot. Obama's cuts would give people making less than $250k A LOT MORE MONEY THAN MCCAIN'S PLAN. Who are you to call anyone clueless. You show your lack of judgment just by voting for the same party that has screwed up the future for your children. Then again you probably don't care much about your kids do you? That is if you have any. The Republicans want to keep us addicted to buying oil from terrorists which is funding things like 911. Who is it thats clueless. You like giving money to terrorists? You know I remember GWB saying he would get us off of oil. How many times do Republicans have to lie to you. No really how many times do Republicans have to lie to YOU not me man. They are lying to YOU. Eight years and how are you doing? Don't tell me great because unless you work for OPEC your not doing so good are you? So how many lies do they have to tell you before you get it? Do you have to wait until you lose your house? What about when its one of your friends being endlessly deployed in a war zone? What about when your business goes under because Bush didn't help your town rebuild after a hurricane. What if its your kids that get sick because the homeland security dept sticks you in a trailer that has deadly chemicals in it because the guy in charge was someone's buddy? How many lies and screw ups is enough? Man your CLUELESS you just don't get it do you? How many people have to suffer before its enough for you. MISSISSIPPI is white and it is still destroyed from Katrina. whole towns are gone. You don't even care about that do you. How many screw ups is enough?

    I can't believe McCain chose that trailer trash as his running mate. Oh vey. She probably has not even heard of the Ivy League. She probably thinks that Dartmouth is some kind of lake bass. That Penn something you write with. And that Cornell is something that grows on your little toe.

She probably has never set foot on Central Park West. Probably has never heard of Zaabar. She claims that she is a hockey mom. What is that supposed to mean? The field hockey moms at Brearley and Chapin were nothing like HER. I can't stand her.

    • Posted By: observer101 @ 09/08/2008 8:08:35 PM

      Deal w/ it, she is helping to kick Baracks rectum...I wouldnt care if she was a football mom, hockey mom, swim mom or softball mom...If thats all you ppl can criticize her on is a bridge, firing ppl, or having a pregnant teenage daughter, then McCain has this election in the bag...I suppose Obama having dealings w/ known criminals and known anti-americans isnt bad by a dem/libs standards, its is perfectly acceptable...Face it, you dem/libs are getting worried that Obama is slipping and Palin has alot to do with it..McCain/Palin08'

      • Posted By: msdx @ 09/09/2008 10:10:21 AM

        Yeah Sarah Palin didn't build the bridge to nowhere, but you know what SHE KEPT THE MONEY. You know if it was me I would care if someone just kept the money. Not to mention she wants to ban books and collects tax payer money for sitting around at home. Her husband is a secessionist and she thinks the Iraq war is a task from God. You think that isn't radical. Man I need to sell you some swamp land. Your not on top of your game are you?
