The Pathology of Socialism

The Pathology...

John this one of the most Unbelievably excellent posts I've read. A direct hit and I can relate to it completely. I'm going to direct others from out of Minnesota to this one.

Like AfterShock said

he got it kicked out to a bunch of folks, like this Texan who is living in Pennsylvania 'cause that's where the Navy sent him.

Anyways, very good post. Between parents who don't demand anything from their kids to the education system to the media to the ruling elite in DC...all the kids get is "free cheese for lazy rats!"

Congratulations! Well said and pertinent to the times. This needs to be widely read.

Emotions count more than facts

A long time ago, Malcolm Muggeridge wrote, ' as the world is ending into a black cinder, some damn fool liberal will be yelling, peace and brotherhood.' Just so. They never know the reality of real evil. Drop by

I concur, excellent post

You hit a lot of raw nerves in this one and every one deserved the attention. It all seems really simple, but those on the other side can't seem to grasp the concept. Their plans, if successful, will literally kill the goose that laid the golden egg (the source of funds for all of their redistribution plans and giveaway programs).

I look forward

To the day when I can have a bathroom hole just like Obama's brother in Kenya. (with a little stand next to it to hold the community paper, when available)

great post

You hit the nail on the head. The socialist views held by many liberals in this great nation is a dream that will never be realized, except promoting laziness.

Steal from the rich give to the - lazy

stealing from the productive members of a society ostensibly to "give" to the less fortunate -- which by the way always has strings attached i.e. vote for me, or love me, or worship me -- is the socialist version of Robin Hood stealing from the rich to give to the poor.

What liberals fail to recall regarding one of their favorite legends is that Sir Robin of Locksley and his band of merry men were not stealing from the productive hard working so called "rich", they were recovering tax money levied by mere fiat under the evil Prince John's authority and collected (stolen) by the elitist, lecherous and corrupt sheriff of Nottingham from the people that worked for it. The tax money (property) recovered by Sir Robin and his merry men was returned to the rightful people that earned for it -- who were made to be poor by the tax collector.

Touche!

Thank you, Aftershock, for pointing out the truth behind the often flawed "Robin Hood" analogy - Robin was, in fact, a tax protester - a Tea Partier!

Well, Mr. HaveGun,

you've got it down pat!!! Kids raised to expect handouts will be the leaders of tomorrow. We are headed towards socialism, if not communism, as it is. If we don't learn the lesson you've taught so well in this post, we don't stand a chance. Great work. Keep it up.

BTW, I'm here due to AfterShock's recommendation. He was right!

HaveGun I have a requast

Please if you have time go to the following blog post and leave one of your so well thought out comments. This fellow needs to be set straight. His name is Aubrey Immelman:

He ran against Michelle Bachman in '08 primaries and looks like he's using TH as a campaign tool for ad hominem attacks on conservatives.

Entitlements Equals No Self Respect

The ultimate effect of "entitlements" is that the people living on entitlements have no self respect. Crawfish said it correctly, all you get are lazy rats.
