Since its founding, our country has vigorously promoted the individual freedom and capitalist values that made our country the most successful form of government in the world. We worked hard to insulate our country from the Marxist concepts that enslaved many other nations. Eventually, even the staunch Marxist countries -- China, the Soviet Union, Vietnam, East Germany, Hungary, Czechoslovokia, Romania, Poland, Bulgaria, and even today’s Cuba – realized the utopian ideals of Karl Marx are altogether unobtainable without free markets and individual freedom.
During the ‘60s and ‘70s the revolutionary spirit struck our
nation and some people latched on to the Marxist tenets. Most of these people
weren’t actually Marxist – many didn’t even understand the principals of
Marxism. They were mostly antiwar and for free-love, loud music, and drugs. But
the “establishment” stood in their way, so they rebelled. Many of these
“Hippies” were well educated and highly indoctrinated by the communist
infestation in our institutes of higher learning.
The “Hippies” grew up. Many are the leaders of today. They
have infiltrated corporate boardrooms, schools, Hollywood, the media, and all
levels of our government. These people are still left-leaning, just not as
openly radical as in the “Hippie” days. Their revolution is slowly taking
place, and it is a clear erosion of the values that made America great. With no
fewer than 70 members of congress registered, proud, card-carrying members of
the American Socialist party and a president who openly associates with avowed
Marxists, is it any wonder that America is progressively resembling life on
planet Bizarro?
Our Grand Old Party is not looking quite so grand these
days. Once the party of the workingman and woman, the Democratic Party evolved
to become the party of tax-and-spend liberals, and now it is even the party of
socialists promoting the tenets of Karl Marx and Mao Zedong. New York City just
elected a radically left-leaning mayor, and the Virginia governor’s race
narrowly went to a liberal Democrat.
Once in power, the liberals work to ensure that anyone with
conservative ideas is locked out of government by promoting “open” primaries
and the demise of the Electoral College. Open primaries allow liberals to
manipulate the slate of candidates to ensure a Democrat win. Without the
Electoral College, the more populous – and liberal – states swamp the voice of
the conservative rural states. It is simply the erosion of the checks and
balances that America’s founding fathers worked so hard to achieve.
Nonsense, you might be thinking, America is a democracy.
Every citizen gets a vote. Wrong! Our form of government is a Republic.
Citizens vote for a person to represent them in the business of the government.
Does your representative present your views in governing? It’s up to you to
make sure he or she does.
“Ask not what your country can do for you. Rather, ask what
you can do for your country.” These momentous words were spoken by a Democrat,
John F. Kennedy. Today’s mantra of the Democrats seems to be, “vote for me and
I will give you whatever you want.” The Democrats keep the electorate poor and
drive jobs away with taxes and asinine regulations then dole out tidbits for
votes. Does this sound like the party of the workingman and woman?
Sure, the liberals decry the Tea Party – as if it were a
party unto itself. There is no Tea Party. There are people within the
Republican Party that denounce the taxes and regulations that are killing our
jobs. These people have taken a patriotic stance against the onerous taxes and
regulations in the same manner as those patriotic men who threw British tea
into Boston harbor over 200 years ago – one of the major actions from which the
United States of America grew.
Please, before it’s too late, help stop America from sinking
into the quagmire of socialism. Vote for people who will represent your ideals
and ideas in government, not those intent on creating a Bizarro planet on
earth.
