Public policy is enacted by essentially two methods: radical comprehensive or incrementally. The former is a draconian shift in policy, such as an outright confiscation of guns. In the latter, gun confiscation is accomplished one little law at a time.
Socialism in American has been and continues to be implemented incrementally. Socialism is the necessary precursor to communism. There are three essential obstacles that must be overcome in order to implement socialism: elimination of private property rights, dissolving the family unit, and ridding America of Marx�s opiate of the masses: religion.
Without religion, the other two are easy to implement. John Locke indentified the right of private property as a natural right. Natural rights flow to us from God. Government has no power to strip anyone of any natural right, for they were given to us by God. Therefore, before we can become a totally socialist state in which we�re completely controlled by government, God has got to go.
Revisionists� propagate the lie that our Founding Fathers created a secular nation. This is an outright lie. Anyone can access primary source documents facilitating knowledge that our Founding Fathers created a Christian nation. Some of our Founding Fathers had gone so far as to predict the demise of their patrimony were our nation to be governed by other than believers in God. And it is the benevolence of Christians that allows others to practice any legitimate religion.
Here�s my point: since at least the 1940�s �even earlier- a forceful subculture within our country has strove to dupe gullible Americans that the First Amendment justifies governmental regulation of religious practices, a fear Jefferson said could never happen in America. His intent of separation of church and state was that religion must be protected from governmental regulation, not vice versa as revisionists� want us to believe. Madison believed that our country was created by the divine hand of God.
Regardless of who�s in power, Republicans or Democrats, we have and are becoming more socialistic. Socialism implicates a lack of freedom. Communism -dictatorial control- follows socialism.
We own nothing that the government does not allow us to own. Therefore, what we own is approved and regulated by the government and that includes our homes.
Think very carefully before this election; however, it might not matter. We might be too far gone for a reversal of years of incremental public policy changes that have facilitated socialism to take root and spawn.
We know Obama is at least a socialist. I think he�s a communist. That leaves the putative Republican nominee. If you believe Romney will restore freedom, yank a lever for him. However, I do not see it. In fact, Republicans have done nothing to impede socialism.
Don�t fall into the trap of a false dichotomy: Obama or Romney. Keep restoration of freedom at the forefront. Who or what is the best path to lead us back to the intent of our Founding Fathers?
New York and California are lost causes. In California, Republicans are greatly outnumbered, and many of the Republicans who reside here are neocons. Neocons will steal our freedoms just as surely as will Obama. In fact, Leo Strauss was as dangerous to freedom as was Marx. Obama will win New York and California�s electoral votes without having to campaign in either state.
If Obama does win, do not blame his victory on the �Paulbots� or other derisive and pejorative names Romney supporters choose to call those of us who want to eliminate socialism and restore freedom. For if Obama wins, it�ll be the result of intransient Romney supporters who are falling prey to the mainstream media created false dichotomy.
We are living in an unprecedented era. None of the medicine given to our ailing and possibly fatally diseased economy is working. Baby boomers and their consumerism led to a tremendous post-WWII economic boom. We do not have such demand. In fact, consumers aren�t consuming for fear of their jobs and because they were burned by consumer credit, not to mention tremendous hits they have taken to their home equity. So it could be that regardless of who�s elected, it won�t much matter. Our economy, which determines governmental action, might not survive.
Finally, don�t forget that under Bush 43, our country lost at least 6 million manufacturing jobs, which paid good salaries that accorded workers ability to live the American dream, and we closed at least 40,000 American factories, most of which reopened in China. And his Treasury Secretary, Hank Paulson, threatened us with martial law if congress didn�t pass TARP, which was really a bailout of Bush�s homeboys using taxpayers� money. Don�t think for a New York second that Bush didn�t put Paulson up to threaten us with martial law.
As I see it, if it remains between Obama and Romney, I couldn�t care less who wins. You see, I know that either way we�re going to become more enslaved.
No government is viable unless it can control its people. In our country, politicians use laws to control us. When was the last time anyone has heard of a neocon proposing eliminating any law???
