Hey Hillary, Your True Nature is Showing
The American Heritage Dictionary defines Socialism as:
1. Any of various theories or systems of social organization in which the means of producing and distributing goods is owned collectively or by a centralized government that often plans and controls the economy.You see that? The Marxist-Leninist theory. You may recall the Soviet Union. The attempt by communists to perfect society following the theories of Karl Marx and Vladimir Lenin. You may remember a time in this country when our sworn enemy were the Soviets. Why? Because communism doesn't promote freedom. It never has and it never will.
2. The stage in Marxist-Leninist theory intermediate between capitalism and communism, in which collective ownership of the economy under the dictatorship of the proletariat has not yet been successfully achieved.
Well, now we have our very own Socialist running for President. And apparently, in front of the right crowd, she's willing to admit it.
Clinton: Shared Prosperity Should Replace 'On Your Own' Society
MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) -- Presidential hopeful Hillary Rodham Clinton outlined a broad economic vision Tuesday, saying it's time to replace an "on your own" society with one based on shared responsibility and prosperity.
The Democratic senator said what the Bush administration touts as an ownership society really is an "on your own" society that has widened the gap between rich and poor.
"I prefer a 'we're all in it together' society," she said. "I believe our government can once again work for all Americans. It can promote the great American tradition of opportunity for all and special privileges for none.
She clearly envisions an America that takes from the rich and gives to the poor. And it's one thing for Robin Hood to do that in a fairy tale. In real life, it never works. Granted, this isn't her brainstorm. Lyndon Johnson tried it with has Great Society initiatives and look where that has gotten us 40 years and $6.4 Trillion dollars later.
And that last sentence quoted above, "It can promote the great American tradition of opportunity for all and special privileges for none" is a text book example of a class envy tactic. Get the poor on your side by appealing to what they resent, the rich. A socialist tactic used time and time again. And when exactly did "and special privleges for none" get added to the American Tradition? Funny, I don't recall ever seing that anywhere before...
The problem with disparaging the rich is, we all want to be rich. I don't know anybody that would prefer to be poor rather than wealthy. Not one person. So, when you start disparaging the rich, you're disparaging what it takes to become rich. This country is considered the land of opportunity because of what freedom provides. Freedom provides you the opportunity to become successful. And millions have come here and done just that. And haven't they earned the privilege they've obtained? But our friendly Neo-Commie Senator from New York wants to follow in the footsteps of Marx and rule by his theory of "From each according to his means, to each according to their needs." And I'm sorry, but that is about as un-American as you can be.
This woman is dangerous. She is a danger to our Republic, for which it stands. And probably what is most dangerous about her is her ability to win. For some reason, people think she's great. Well, I'm sorry, but if we are at a point when we consider a socialist to be great, then our country is truly lost. As a nation, we have fought the evils of communism for most of our history. Thousands have worked, bled, and died to defeat it. And this woman is using communist philosophy to campaign for President. And the sad part is, she stands a very good chance at winning.
I'll leave you with a scary quote from a former Presidential Candidate. A quote that keeps me awake at night and should wake you all up to exactly what we're letting happen.
"The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of 'liberalism,' they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened." Norman Thomas, former U.S. Socialist Presidential Candidate.
