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.

Obama's Stem Cell Spinning
Email To A Friend
Please fill in the following information and we'll email this link.
McCain-Palin/ Republican National
Committee Ad: "Stem Cell Response"
Announcer: Barack Obama and his congressional allies' stem cell attacks are simply not true. Leading news organizations call their attacks "misleading." "Out of bounds." "Manhandling the truth." "Wrong."
The truth? John McCain and his congressional allies fought FOR stem cell research. They stood up and said stem cell research was too important for you and your family.
Stem cell research will help unlock the mystery of cancer, diabetes and heart disease. It will allow scientists to explore treatment for Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. Stem cell research will help free families from the fear and devastation of illness.
Change is coming. McCain-Palin and congressional allies. The leadership and experience to change Washington and improve your health. Paid for by McCain-Palin 2008 and the Republican National Committee.
McCain: I'm John McCain and I approve this message.
A Little Off
As for the McCain/RNC ads, their main flaw is in implying that running mate Sarah Palin's position is in line with McCain's.
The "original mavericks??" "Fighting for real change?" In Palin's case, the language doesn't apply, not on this topic. Palin opposes stem cell research. (On this point, the Obama ad is correct.) In a 2006 gubernatorial debate in Alaska, she said:
Palin (Nov. 2, 2006): [I]ts interesting that so many questions revolve around this centeredness I have for respecting life, and the potential of every human life, but no, stem-cell research would ultimately end in the destruction of life. I couldn't support it.
Palin's response to ABC News' Charlie Gibson, in her first post-convention major media interview, was similar:
