Re: Will Democratic Socialism Destroy our Republic?
People have been predicting the demise of democracy, individual freedom and liberty, as well as resulting American supremacy, since the day American democracy was born. The implication being that a rich complacent free self-governed people will sooner or later, democratically vote themselves out of individual freedom and back into government dependency, self-invoked tyranny and political bondage.
America’s founding fathers, the greatest human proponents of freedom in history, warned us repeatedly to remain forever vigilant in the protection and preservation of individual liberty and freedom.
“Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide.” - John Adams, letter to John Taylor, April 15, 1814
There was only one other (unless you count Urtreck-spelling may be wrong? So that's a curious statement.)
“Every government degenerates when trusted to the rulers of the people alone. The people themselves, therefore, are its only safe depositories.” - Thomas Jefferson, Notes on the State of Virginia, Query 14, 1781
Very wise words. But what can we do about Bush anyway? No impeachment process seems forthcoming, so I guess we're stuck with him till McCain becomes president. And That's going to put pee in everybody's Cheerios! LOL!
The world’s greatest enemies of freedom and liberty have warned us as well.
“Democracy is the road to socialism.” - Karl Marx (dead and burried and still full of $hit)
Today’s Democrat Party is selling change again and they have exactly the same kinds of change in mind that Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Khrushchev and Alinsky had in mind.
Those people were working to rid themselves of a king or a dictator. Just as America rid herself of tirrany. I don't think it is a fair assessment to equate one of the top two American political parties of today with revolutions of the past centuries.
Today’s Democrats call themselves “the Party of the Working Class, the poor, the downtrodden.” They promise to rob from “the rich” for the betterment of the poor. In other words, they are selling exactly what Marx and many other communists have sold over the years, “From each, according to his ability; to each, according to his need.”
There is nothing new, innovative or exciting about the kinds of change being offered by today’s DNC. They are the same old revolutionary ideas of men like Lenin,(dead) Marx(dead) and Alinsky in the past, and Chavez (paid too much homage by politicos in the west; an insipid little man) and Castro(failed and dying) today.
But America is indeed a democratic society, which is only to say that the people must vote for Democratic Socialism. It can not be forced upon them. Socialism must be sold and purchased in America and so far, the sale is going just fine.
Yes. And if we buy into Socialsm it will be because we are in a depression that the mismanagement of our funds in the recent years has put us into.
Our future is visible in our past. Study the past well and choose your future wisely...

And no.
