Don't allow yourself to be distracted by the calculating Liberal Elite

Why is our brave President Barack Obama, and the Liberal Elite sullying themselves by singling out a lowly talk radio host when we have an economic catastrophe of epic proportions brewing? Don't they have more important things to do than bash Rush Limbaugh? I think the President sounds absolutely pathetic when he starts talking about the talking heads. He's the President for God's sake! Not some two-bit commentator. Does he really need to stoop that low? Are the liberals that scared of Rush Limbaugh that they need to label him the leader of the conservative movement in a blatant attempt to denounce conservative ideals as a whole?

Seems kind of childish to me.

I think they're obviously trying to mislead the public on this. They're saying Rush Limbaugh want's Obama to fail and thus, wants America to fail. They say that this is "crossing the line." That's not at all what Rush meant, it isn't what he said, and it's missing the point he was trying to make; a point which any good conservative would make: He want's Obama's economic policies to fail because he wants Socialism (which is what Obama's policies are) to fail. He wants socialism and Obama to fail because he wants America to succeed. If Obama fails, then the American people will not be able to be fooled, and see Socialism for what it is: A faulty belief system that rewards laziness and punishes hard work. It robs from the rich to give to the poor. It is anti-American, anti-capitalism, anti-growth, anti-commonsense. Communism and Naziism share the same family tree as Socialism. Communism and Naziism has killed hundreds of millions of people. They are philosophies that will always end in suffering and failure. If Obama's power grab fails, the Conservative movement will be strengthened and that is ultimately what Rush thinks is best for America.

Socialism is the antithesis of the American way of life. Namely, the idea that you can start with nothing and be dealt a bad hand in life; but by your own gumption, your own willpower, your own perseverance, you can get out of whatever hole you're in and succeed. Socialism says: If you're dealt a bad hand in life, it's not your fault, and big brother will help you out. Socialism effectively says it's bad to be rich. If you're rich, give me most of your money so I can give it to the lazy dude who'd rather spend his money on cigarettes, beer, and pornography than get a decent job. Socialism discourages hard-work, the accumulation of wealth, and takes away the incentives for self-improvement. Why is this bad? It's bad because as the incentives for hard work and self improvement decline, so do the incomes and numbers of rich individuals to tax, that then become a consumer of the welfare state, rather than a supporter. As consumers increase and supporters decrease, the imbalance multiply and eventually the system can no longer support itself and it will collapse under it's own weight. What happens at that point is scary to ponder. Suffice it to say it won't be pretty.

Anyone who does an honest analysis of Obama's socialist policies can see it isn't what America stands for. America doesn't stand for making bigger government the solution for our rough couple of years. America stands for hard work, honesty, justice, and the opportunity to make something out of nothing. America stands for personal responsibility, opportunity, freedom, and equality. In spite of the pretty speeches Obama gives us, I think it is important to point out that his charade is nothing more than a government power-grab. Once the government grabs power, it won't let go. It will rob us of our ability to keep the rewards of our hard work. It will slowly drain the economic incentives which reward that hard work. It will slowly drain the ideals that make this country great. If principles that this administration want to push forward are allowed to continue unopposed, unabated, and unrestricted, we will surely be witness to the beginning of the end of the greatest, most powerful, most principled, most generous nation the face of this earth has ever seen. America has stared down slavery, nazi-ism, communism, and terrorism. Let's hope it has the ability to stare down it's self-inflicted socialism.

That doesn't bode well for the future of America, and it certainly doesn't bode well for the future of the world.

As one of the greatest Presidents America has ever seen once said: "Government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem."

We need to have a conversation about socialism. In the mean time do some reading on it. There are so many forms of socialism some bad (Marx), some not so bad (Europe), and some that have never been tried. When talking about socialism you have to be more specific about what type of socialism. I started reading about it and it gets confusing. After reading some I don't think we are anywhere near it. Not an argument yet but honestly read about Socialism then let's talk when we shoot each other on Call of Duty.

Europe?!?! Not so bad...have you ever seen a Brit with good teeth? Socialism doesn't belong here, over there sure, but not here.
