This is the culmination of a lot of reading of many different texts on Socialism, Liberalism, and the mess that is other nation's socialized health care. To avoid the mental overload for any liberal reading this, in the hope that they night leave the dark side for the light, I broke the nine page essay up into five blocks. In researching and writing this, The Gunny simply cannot believe that a person would embrace an ideology so corrosive to the human spirit. What in the name of Odin is WRONG with liberals? Our Founding Fathers, who the liberals refer to as D.E.W.M. (Dead European White Males) must be spinning in their graves.
If this world was being run on a global feudalistic scale, wherein individual effort was stifled by position of birth, socialism may be a good answer. However, in a capitalist state where we can make our own way through hard work and a little luck, socialism simply sucks. It sucks down our time, sucks up our money, and sucks out our God-given human initiative to want something better out of life. Socialism is the ideology of angry children who demand the right to take from others that, which they cannot produce themselves, is it through stupidity or laziness. When the people take from other people for a shared equality, that utopia is never achieved. Why? Because humans are flawed beings, none of us are equal and we never will be. Plainly speaking, the person who thinks and does, who puts in 12-15 hour work days, six-seven days a week, who doesnt blow their dough on beer, dope, and lotto tickets simply deserves to get ahead. They worked for it. THEY made THEIR American Dream come true and that, my friends, is what America is all about.
The anger of the juveniles on the left works well with socialism and it has been said that when socialism triumphs, it results in a wild triumphant party which dies out when the confiscated wine cellar finally comes up empty. The perfect example of socialism being an abject failure remains Zimbabwe, once the breadbasket of Africa, now a famine zone. Economic advancement as well as the rights of individuals is forfeit in the socialist state and only the pigs more equal than the other pigs will prosper. This was starkly evident in the former USSR as well as in Cuba today. No matter what bloated capitalist Michael Moore says, socialism sucks. If he likes it so much, why dont he, Oliver Stone, and a host of other Hollywood elites renounce their US Citizenship and move to Cuba? Because being equal with the poor slob living next door doesnt excite the celebrities past a little lip service.
Our free market system requires people to think. The Gunny covered this in Fridays article (5 Oct 07). One has to put some brain power into researching, planning, investing, and monitoring their retirement funds and this, much to the dismay of the juveniles in the New Left, this interferes with their hooking up and dope smoking efforts. In fact, Aldous Huxley wrote that for an authoritarian state to work they need to encourage sexual promiscuity among the masses. This can be seen as starting in the late 60s with the flower children, the spoiled children of the Greatest Generation, who are now the leaders of the Democrat Party, seeking to put the rest of us under their leader George Soros and the Open Society Institute.
What happened to the spoiled children who make up todays New Left? The USA enjoys a high standard of living, our universities, while infiltrated by 60s types (professional students), still turn out good minds, our economy rocks, there is plenty of food for all, and if we deported all of the illegal aliens, there would be ample health care for all. What happened to tweak the spoiled brats on the Left? It is because reality failed to conform to the expectations of these childlike adults, who remain mentally immature and unrealistic, both domestically and internationally. Indeed, they should be considered the soft-squeezy generation that like a jellyfish, lack a spine.
What the soft-squeezy generation really wants, after one strips away the rhetoric, the calls to protect Gaia, the BDS (Bush Derangement Syndrome), etc, is for an economic system that will allow the adult-juveniles to meander through their forever collegic world, sans interruption. To have to WORK for a living? You kidding me? That also includes exhibiting a lack of self discipline, self-respect, or respect for others for that matter (people or property), and clueless to reality. Lock me in an ivory tower and feed me forever, is their battle-cry. The Gunny has a name for these people; they are a class of parasites whove never produced anything more important than an opinion slapped on a paper or two from a study that the taxpayer funded. This class includes such stellar beings like politicians Hillary and Bill Clinton, John Edwards, Hussein Obama, Ted Kennedy, and a host of others. And then there are the social activists and we call them the ACLU. Their mission statement is basically, to turn the USA into a socialist nation. They like to legislate from the bench that which they know the American voters will reject.
Other juvenile-adults have found their way into the media and now have successful careers on the capacity to parrot the party line day after day, much like the government-run media in 1984 droning on that, peace is war and that more is less. The profession prostitutes of the media and theatrical centers spout political ideological nonsense with the educated wit of a junior high schooler. But since the nation is more interested if Britany Spears is wearing skivvies than how much our taxes are going to soar under Hillary Care it is simply a symptom of the dumbing down of America combined with the leftist dominated media. Sort of a one-two punch to the flabby gut of America. Indeed, as we follow the money we find that for every environmental, societal, economic, or educational, there is a legion of people eager to make those issues a lucrative career, either as an administrator or an activist. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are prime examples of this.
One of the main themes of the soft-squeezy generation is that they are too special to take an entry-level position and work their way up. Paying one's dues is a concept as foreign to them as someone speaking Aramaic to them. For those who leave college and enter the workplace and to not be able to start at six figures is considered a failure. Its an unfair economic system (capitalism) that keeps these poor souls in the 90th percentile of the US economic strata. The horror of it all. The soft-squeezy generation heads off to college, away from parents who have covered for, provided for, and sheltered them from every bump in life, to find that their fantasy of living a continued existence of a soft life has been cruelly dashed by The Man. When they graduate, they instantly become angry and resentful that manna is not falling from Heaven for them to feast upon without a care in the world. The reality of actually having to work for a living tweaks these crybabies into joining the ranks of the chronically dissatisfied doom and gloomers, commonly known as the Democrat Party and its myrmidon allies.
And speaking of immature juvenile adults of a liberal nature, the corrupt ideology of Socialism combines a mixture of a lack of morals, character, intelligence (sloganism IS socialism), a willing suspension of disbelief and a disassociation from reality, infantile anger and envy, and irresponsibility of ones actions. The liberal is governed by a childlike wanting without control by thought, reality, or conscience. The liberal child wants what it wants right now! without regard for morality, rationality, or consequences. Bill Clinton's actions are the perfect example of this as are most liberals. They want the troops out of Iraq NOW! They want Bush impeached NOW! They want it (fill in the blank) NOW! There are four key words central to socialism and they are:
I. Want. It. Now.
