The world, and especially the USA, is lurching, sliding and falling into the social morass called socialism. This slide is pushed and lauded by The Left.
I immigrated to the USA over 20 years ago, with Ronald Reagan’s ideals drawing me here.  This is not what I expected would happen, that our freedoms, as promised in the Constitution, would be so rapidly chipped away by creeping and now leaping socialism — the tyranny this time, not of a British King, but of government itself!
For you and other freedom loving people, what does it mean?
- Fewer choices can be made by you: What doctor you see, what medicines you take, what football championship you watch. Â See House Bill Aims To Sack College Football BCS System. Â Government is operating as if they are kings, with no limit on their power, no constitution.
- Government will be a higher social class: Instead of government service being something where you trade security and protection from competition for lower wages, government now pays more! Â See Six-Figure Federal Salary Gravy Train. Â “The growth in six-figure salaries has pushed the average federal worker’s pay to $71,206, compared with $40,331 in the private sector.”
- You will have less money to do what you and your family want: As incomes drop, all prices associated with and affected by government go up. Â And taxes will and must go up to pay for reckless spending in Washington.
- Government will spend like drunks: See Business as Usual in Washington: Another Bloated, Pork-Filled Omnibus Spending Bill. Spending is up 8% (3rd year in a row), $561 billion more than baseline. Â The spending, according the The Heritage Foundation, is runaway. Â 2009 Earmarks now total 8,939, and will exceed 10,000 by the end of the year.
What did President Obama say about fiscal responsibility in his inauguration speech?
“And those of us who manage the public’s dollars will be held to account – to spend wisely, reform bad habits, and do our business in the light of day – because only then can we restore the vital trust between a people and their government.”
If he believed that, he would veto the Omnibus bill.
What did he say about earmarks? Â During his transition into office in January 2009, he promised a
“new higher standard of accountability, transparency and oversight. We are going to ban all earmarks, the process by which individual members insert projects without review.”
But in March 2009, he signed a bill with 8,500 earmarks. Â He said:
“this piece of legislation must mark an end to the old way of doing business and the beginning of a new era of responsibility and accountability that the American people have every right to expect and demand.”
And just days ago in December 2009, Obama himself put in a $700 mln earmark.
No, Obama is leader of the socialist revolution now going on in America.  He is following Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals, Rule 10: “If you push a negative hard enough, it will push through and become a positive”.  Say that reckless spending is Good, and it is true.  Say that the private sector is the problem, that government is the solution, and it is true.
This is just one year of the socialist revolution.  Fight it, as there is more to come unless people tell their elected officials: ENOUGH!
We need another Reagan!!
