  STOPPING SOCIALISM IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE BEFORE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE TODAY!!  

              I have been asked by many people around the Country if I would write an explanation of Socialism, its inherent evils and the effects it would have upon us as individuals. The following is my attempt at answering that request.  For certain, it would be a death blow to capitalism as well as to the God-given freedoms which we have enjoyed for so long in the United States. 

Our country’s economic system is Capitalism, based upon private ownership of property, which includes the means of production for the creation of goods or services for income and profit by individuals. It is a free market economic system based on the recognition of individual rights to own property (lands, businesses, goods, etc.).  Such rights give individuals security and a means to control their own affairs, thus their own destiny. 

Under Capitalism, private citizens, with their ownership of property, are responsible for the production and distribution of goods.  Whereas, Socialism is government ownership of property and control of production and distribution. The essential characteristic of Socialism is the denial of individual property rights. Individuals have no control over their own affairs and destiny. Almost every aspect of living will be regulated by government officials. 

Someone has correctly written, “Socialism is the doctrine that man has no right to exist for his own sake, that his life and his work do not belong to him, but belong to society, that the only justification of his existence is his service to society, and that society may dispose of him in any way it pleases for the sake of whatever it deems to be it’s own tribal, or collective good.”

I do not believe the majority of the American people would knowingly or willingly adopt Socialism, once understood.  However, it has been seeping in, little by little, over the past one hundred years pushed by progressives and liberals.  IF we aren’t careful, every fragment of a socialist state will be adopted, until one day America will be a full-blown socialist nation, without realizing how it happened.

Karl Marx, the nineteenth century German socialist revolutionary, taught that “Democracy is the road to Socialism” and preached that “Socialism represents the stage following Capitalism in a country transforming to Communism.” The platforms of Liberals, Progressives and Socialists are drawn from either Communism, Marxism or Fascism. They are all varying degrees of Socialism known as totalitarian concepts, differing in degrees only. There is not one example of a Socialist country, past or present, ever producing the level of prosperity and happiness for the people which our system of Capitalism and private enterprise, individual ownership of property, has accomplished. If there were, people would not be cutting fences, climbing walls, swimming rivers or loading onto boats to escape those countries to get into the United States.

The Representative Republic of the United States with our Capitalist and Free Enterprise Market System has been the world’s dominant economic system for over two hundred years. Within it, the means of production of goods and the distribution of those goods are owned by individuals. Since America’s beginnings, the freedom of private ownership and free enterprise with it’s spirit of competition, have led to the abundance of food and products, more efficiency, lower prices, better products and rising prosperity. The production of food and materials and private individual prosperity has never been – can never be – equaled by any socialist country.

The people of almost every country on the continent of Africa are starving to death. Daily, we are shown the fly blown faces of these starving people. Every one of those countries have Socialist governments of some form. Every country on the continent of Europe is today experiencing the results of the evils of their respective degrees of Socialism with extremely high taxes. Glaring examples are Greece with it’s economic collapse, closely followed by Spain and Portugal, with the same fate closing in on the remainder of Europe.  Despite tax rates of 65 to 80% and more they are drowning in public debt without enough food and goods to support the people. President Obama, a strong proponent of Socialism, is leading our Country toward that same end. 

How would Socialism affect YOU as an individual? By necessity, tax rates in America will reach upward of 80%, and our way of life will be exactly like that in Europe. Socialized health care will mandate who your doctor will be, even whether or not you are a candidate for treatment of an illness. It will be extremely difficult, if not impossible, to buy a new home, land, a car, or send your children to college if you desire.  Birth control will be mandated, private ownership of property will be denied, starting and maintaining a business impossible. Even the small things in our everyday lives such as the kind of windows you may put in your house and the type of light bulbs you may buy.  The list of evils of Socialism is a long one.  Be warned – Socialism is nothing more than the sharing of misery.

The proponents of Socialism use the plight of the poor, the disenfranchised and the jobless with their promises to equalize income, share the wealth, level the economic playing field, take from those who have and give to those who have not. The concept that, with hard work and perseverance, anybody can get ahead economically in the United States, will be destroyed. 

Most Americans think this could NOT happen here. I used to think that … until I realized differently.  Not only can it happen here, IT IS happening here – right here, right now.  

Remember Barack Obama’s campaign for “fundamental change”?  Well folks, this is what he meant by fundamental change.  He is committed to fulfilling the dreams from his father. Make no mistake, be not deceived, he is committed to destroying Capitalism, that which has made America great, and replacing it with Socialism.  His giant first step in office was to convince a Liberal controlled congress to pass into law what has become known as Obamacare, complete government control of our healthcare system. October 1, 2013 was the roll-out day for Socialized Medicine, and the launching pad for a Socialist States of America and a farewell to the Constitutional Republic of The United States of America.  No one will be exempt from the evils of Socialism, not you, not your children, not your grandchildren.

Under the leadership of Barack Obama, Socialism has a death grip on America. Louis Farrakhan has publicly braged that “America is on her death bed.” He has praised Barack Obama for his leadership. George Soros, another staunch backer of Obama, finances with huge sums of money the organized effort to Socialize this Country. These men and their supporters in Congress, together with the courts and the media, are bent on bringing down America, destroying the Constitution and replacing our form of government with Socialism.

We, that would be you and me, have got to fight what is happening.  We cannot sit this one out.  We cannot rely on someone else doing it for us.  We have a duty and an obligation to protect, defend and preserve our Country, our freedom, our way of life. We must be devoted to our Free Republic and it’s Constitution, and strengthen our resolve to keep it. If we must die, let us stand tall and die on our feet, fighting, and not on our knees in subjugation. We don’t have a lot of time. IF we lose, that loss will come at an unthinkable cost to every American. 

The price of freedom has always come with a hefty price tag. Not a single American soldier has ever died in defense of Socialism.

I encourage you to distribute this writing in any way you wish. 

STOPPING SOCIALISM IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE BEFORE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE TODAY.
