Socialism Results in Loss of Freedom
“There was a Chemistry professor in a large college that had some exchange students in the class. One day while the class was in the lab the Prof noticed one young man (exchange student) who kept rubbing his back and stretching as if his back hurt. The professor asked the young man what was the matter. The student told him he had a bullet lodged in his back. He had been shot while fighting communists in his native country who were trying to overthrow his country’s government and install a new communist government. In the midst of his story he looked at the professor and asked a strange question.
"He asked, ‘Do you know how to catch wild pigs?’ The professor thought it was a joke and asked for the punch line. The young man said this was no joke. ‘You catch wild pigs by finding a suitable place in the woods and putting corn on the ground. The pigs find it and begin to come everyday to eat the free corn. When they are used to coming every day, you put a fence down one side of the place where they are used to coming. When they get used to the fence, they begin to eat the corn again and you put up another side of the fence. They get used to that and start to eat again. You continue until you have all four sides of the fence up with a gate in the last side. The pigs, who are used to the free corn, start to come through the gate to eat, you slam the gate on them and catch the whole herd. Suddenly the wild pigs have lost their freedom. They run around and around inside the fence, but they are caught. Soon they go back to eating the free corn. They are so used to it that they have forgotten how To forage in the woods for themselves, so they accept their captivity.
"The young man then told the professor that is exactly what he sees happening to America. The government keeps pushing us toward Communism/Socialism and keeps spreading the free corn out in the form of programs such as supplemental income, tax credit for unearned income, tobacco subsidies, dairy subsidies, payments not to plant crops (CRP), welfare, medicine, drugs, etc. while we continually lose our freedoms- just a little at a time."

Why socialism is evil
"The bottom line is that we've become a nation of thieves, a value rejected by our founders. James Madison, the father of our Constitution, was horrified when Congress appropriated $15,000 to help French refugees. He said, 'I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents.' Tragically, today's Americans would run Madison out of town on a rail."

TWO STEPS FORWARD, ONE STEP BACKWARD
A caller to the Glenn Beck show told about an elderly woman receiving a phone call in South Bend, Indiana telling her she was allowed to cast her vote by phone. “For whom was she voting,” she was asked? She replied “John McCain” The caller thanked her and said, “Your vote has been cast. You do not have to go to the polls.”
"A military man and a Florida resident said he was cleaning his gun with the Bible at his side as he waited for Glenn to take his call. He said number 8 on the instruction sheet for his absentee voting says 'It is a felony under Florida law to accept any gift, payment or gratuity in exchange for your vote for a candidate.' He said he heard vouchers were being given out for a Jimmy Buffet concert if they voted for Obama. All they had to do was pick it up at the Obama campaign booth.
"The fact that millions of voters will be voting for a virtual unknown mystery man that came out of nowhere, gave a great speech at the Democrat convention four years ago and soon declared he was running for the presidency is frightening indeed. Once again, the Bible says in the end times God will send a spirit of delusion and it seems the highly educated who have sat in college under communist sympathetic professors and the brainwashed children that have been forced to attend public schools for their indoctrination will be the deceived in this election. In my last article I mentioned the 1919 Communist slogan, 'Give us one generation…'
"Two steps forward, one step backward has long been the mantra of the Communist Party. Whether we call it gradualism, incrementalism, encroachment, licenses, regulations or other creeping crud, we must ask is this truly the end of America as some have suggested or is it simply an extension of what has been going on since the election of Democrat FDR in 1932? For years I expressed wonderment, “How could the German people have been so stupid as to put Adolph Hitler in charge of their nation?” He came to power in a 'national emergency' – the burning of the Reichstag, the parliament building in the center of Berlin, on February 27, 1933. 'Nazi' was gutter slang for the verb “to nationalize” and what did our elected traitors recently do with our banks? Under the guise of helping out foreclosed homeowners, they nationalized the banks."

Learning history's lesson the hard way
"History is filled with the dismal lessons of nations where law was turned into molding clay and citizens abdicated personal responsibility for their lives to messianic-sounding demagogues. But when we stop reading, thinking and taking seriously the eternal truths of tradition, the only thing left is to re-learn through experience what history has already taught.
"Apparently, this is where much of America stands today."

MR. OBAMA: PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY, PERSONAL ACCOUNTABILITY
and
"As a teacher, I found myself ‘encouraged’ by administrators to pass kids no matter their failing work in class. Soon, those kids discovered that ‘affirmative action grading’ allowed them to pass to the next grade by doing nothing. Once they ‘graduated’ from high school functionally illiterate with an ‘affirmative action’ diploma—they enjoyed jobs where they didn’t do much more than answer a phone, security guard or hold a DOT flag. Our government, made up of men like Obama, dumbed down America’s educational systems that now employ millions in indolent governmental jobs—that accomplish nothing more than not much at all."

“Once in the restaurant my server wore an "Obama 08" tie, again I laughed as he had given away his political preference--just imagine the coincidence.
“When the bill came I decided not to tip the server and explained to him that I was exploring the Obama redistribution of wealth concept. He stood there in disbelief while I told him that I was going to redistribute his tip to someone who I deemed more in need--the homeless guy outside. The server angrily stormed from my sight.
“I went outside, gave the homeless guy $5 and told him to thank the server inside as I've decided he could use the money more. The homeless guy was grateful.
“At the end of my rather unscientific redistribution experiment I realized the homeless guy was grateful for the money he did not earn, but the waiter was pretty angry that I gave away the money he did earn even though the actual recipient needed money more.
“I guess redistribution of wealth is an easier thing to swallow in concept than in practical application.”

Could Barack Obama be a Fabian Socialist?
"Instead, Fabians would speak of benefits for the people such as Welfare, Medical Care, Higher Wages, and Better Working Conditions. In this way, they planned to accomplish their objective without bloodshed and even without serious opposition.
"Does any of this sound familiar so far?"

"By contrast, when Social Engineers gain control of government and restrict people from being rewarded by the fruits of their labor, productivity falls, and scarcity becomes the norm."

Will Obama Supporters Spread the Wealth?
Have you noticed that Warren Buffet, George Soros or the fact that none of the millionaire Obama supporters who believe in speading the wealth, have returned the tax cut checks that Bush sent out nor have anyone seen them visiting and voluntarily giving their wealth to the inner-cities across America or to the poor in the rural south areas or those in the Appalachain region.

Welfare Payments Can Be Given to Employees
Obama Advisor Changes the Definition of “Welfare”: Free Money Handouts Are No Longer Enough
Welfare Payments Can Be Given to Employees
WASHINGTON, DC— Supporters of Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) are sometimes accused of megalomaniacal messianism when it comes to their policy objectives. Yesterday, though, chief Obama economic advisor Austan Goolsbee went too far when he attempted to alter the English language itself:
"Our thing has never been welfare," said Goolsbee. "It was always our intention that there was a work requirement."
Goolsbee correctly noted that Obama's other refundable tax credits were clearly tied to work. An individual must work in order to qualify for Obama's making-work-pay credit, an individual must have earnings from a job in order to benefit from Obama's saver's credit, parents must work in order to benefit from Obama's refundable child care tax credit, and college students must perform community service in order to benefit from Obama's college tax credit.
October 21, 2008, ABC News, “Political Radar” blog
Actually, recipients of free money from the government can have a job, be unemployed, etc. It makes no difference. “Welfare” means the government gives you a check paid for by stealing it from someone else.
Here’s the point: if the Obama camp redefines “welfare” to exclude anyone who has a job or does “community service,” the handouts will never end. It’s like saying you’re not going to eat sweets except at breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It’s absurd. It makes the term meaningless.
A New Welfare State
"When called on this, Obama's answer is that those 38 percent still pay payroll taxes, so he's rebating part of those payments. But that actually puts him deeper into the socialist hole. Here's why."
Obamanomics Abhors the Free Market
"For Obama Kool-Aid guzzlers who believe Joe the Plumber was a premeditated Republican plant to trap Obama into admitting his communist inclinations (even though Obama approached Joe, not the other way around), I refer you to Obama's history of similar utterances in favor of soaking the rich."

Neo-Socialism: A Decomposition of the Liberal Mind
"Fundamentally, Socialism is the complete discarding of the institution of private property by transforming it to public property. The resulting public income is to be, then, equally and indiscriminately distributed to the population (Liberals strive toward this end through the levying of taxes and tight governmental controls). In Socialism, private property is anathema to this objective."

So you want to be a communist
"Once the socialists take power, they do not relinquish it. They soon control the media, the education system and even the church. They control your mind. You can vote them in under a free democratic system.
"But you can never vote them out. And never is a long, long time for you and your children's children to live without freedom."
