THE DEATH KNELL OF LIBERALISM IS SOUNDING!

Posted by GunnyG© on Tuesday, October 20, 2009 7:55:24 AM
As Sean Hannity would say, “Let your heart not be troubled.” That groaning noise that you are hearing is the blubber of liberalism dragging it under the waves. Perhaps the Iron Woman said it best when she said: “Socialism always works until it runs out of other people’s money,” and that is what is killing liberalism today. For example, in nearly every Blue State, and the Gunny would love to see a comparison of them on this subject, they are overspending every year, to prop up their failed policies and ideology, like toothpicks holding up a bridge. The RINOator out in Kaulifornia is presiding over a state so deep in the red, from 30 years or more of liberalism, that they are forced to sell State “things” to raise money. State employees are being paid in IOU’s! How’s that working in Vons folks? Exxon taking those IOU’s at the pump?

What has liberalism does for these Blue States?

It’s really nothing more than common sense that states that excessive spending by Democrat-controlled states will move that state into the red faster than Rosie O’Donnell hitting the buffet at Golden Corral! At the State level, with each shortfall, taxes are raised to cover it, causing more businesses and people to flee to states that offer less taxation, which exacerbates the shortfall, causing more tax hikes, more debt, more state insolvency, finally leading to a mass exodus from those states. Eventually, liberalism collapses. Case-in-point is Detroit. Once a busy town, everyone working, factories pumping, but enter liberalism in the 70’s. Welfare. Tax hikes. More social programs. Tax hikes. More welfare. More Corporate taxes. Businesses leave. People leave. Unions call for more money, to pay their taxes, and businesses head to states like Tennessee or Virginia, where unions can’t force their socialistic ways on businesses. What do liberals do? Why, they fall back on the failed policies of the 30’s. Tax. Spend. Michael Sandel, a Harvard political philosopher writes: “Modern liberalism has emptied the national narrative of its civic resources, putting religion outside the public square and creating a value-neutral "procedural republic."

It other words, they are bereft of ideas, they’ve turned away from the religious values of our Founding Fathers, and basically embraced the empty values of Socialism or Statism. Indeed, what liberals fail to note, time and again, is that liberty, freedom, and right always win. Oh, we take a beating here and there, especially when we have the insider threats like Snowe, Collins, SPECTRE, etc, but again, let your hearts not be troubled, liberalism IS collapsing under its own weight. In fact, it’s collapsing under 1,502 pages of fat, socialism, more taxation, etc. http://finance.senate.gov/press/Bpress/2009press/prb101909.pdf but the liberals refuse to stop. They fail to ask the questions that Americans are asking more and more. WHY are liberals in such a rush to pass Porkulous? Health Care reform? Anti-nuke treaties? Close Gitmo? Retreat from Afghanistan? Liberalism, as an ideology, as the religion of the Left, it is bound to fail. Why? Because it is politics based on feelings, fairness, emotions, and being nice than any realistic view of the world or economics. Liberals continually violate economic principles and wonder why bad stuff happens. For example, Obama wants to raise taxes on us, trust the Gunny here, he does. He and his cronies will do it (while dodging paying their own no doubt) and then wonder why tax revenue is plummeting. It’s ALREADY falling so that is why they’ll raise em. Like LBJ and Carter, they’ll raise taxes and wonder why they’re so far in the red. Or not wonder and just print more money, after all, they own the Treasury. “I’ve got checks so I MUST have money in there right?” The liberals got away with it in the 30’s under FDR because they owned the airwaves. They got away with in the 60’s because Kronkite was in their pocket, and they got away with it in the 70’s because the press covered for Carter over and over. Enter Talk Radio in the 80’s. Enter Al Gore’s invention in the 90’s. Liberals are no longer getting away with it as evidenced by Obama’s attack on Rush, Hannity, and Fox News.

Even as we stay engaged, the Gunny can’t say that enough, “STAY ENGAGED”,  the failed policies of Obama and the left will get to the point where we will no longer support it. They can only reach into our pockets so many times before we’re tired of it. In fact, we’re ALREADY sick and damned tired of it. Their ideology is discredited, they just have not realized it yet. Big Government has become the gluttonous Colossus, swallowing our fiscal resources, which is leading us to financial ruin. What American is not proud that their nation leads the way in finance, industry, technology, and science? Liberals, that’s who. That is why they work so hard to drag us down to the level of everyone else. A warped sense of being “fair.” This then, springs hope for Conservatives in 2010 and 2012. For example, we KNOW that Nanny Pelosi and Dingy Reid are going to foist their health care garbage on us. WE. KNOW. IT. That way, they can crow to their special interest groups, “look what we did,” like a kid proud of crapping on the floor! But in 2010, we’ll be back in power and able to repeal this dreck. That will give the libs the ability to decry what the evil Conservatives have done…boo-hoo. But Americans, for the most part, aren’t stupid as 52 percent of us (and growing) don’t want this crapulence shoved down their throats, yet the libs are doing just that! Liberty and freedom are enduring values in American, no matter how much the liberals try to purge them, and they will ultimately win out. The real question is, how much damage can the left do before they go the way of their forebears, the Copperhead Party? FDR and LBJ gave us Social Security, Welfare, and Medicare which are paying out far more than they are taking in, even as liberals and RINOs rape any gains to spend on other government programs.

Thankfully, we have some good Conservatives and maybe a few RINOs who have seen the light and Obama and his thugocracy offers an excellent opportunity for them to highlight the recklessness of liberalism while expounding on the virtues of Conservatism:

1. We believe that it is the God-given right of all men to live free and determine their own destiny.
2. We believe that the Constitution is the greatest secular document ever created. In addition,  although it is secular, the influence of God in the creation of it, cannot be denied.
3. We believe in family values. The values that made America great.
4. We believe that America is the greatest nation in the world, period.
5. We believe that one should not look to the federal government first for help but to the family, neighbors, friends, and the community (church and charities) to help people. Welfare is a drain on the will of its recipients and our wallets. It was never intended by the Founders and it violates the Constitution.
6. We believe that criminals deserve to be punished, period.
7. We believe that abortion is wrong. While there are circumstances for it, using it as liberals do, it murder.
8. We believe in the individual not the collective. We will judge on character and deeds, not on the color of their skin.
9. We believe that hard work and sacrifice leads to a better life and that we should keep the fruits of our labor.
10. We believe that the purpose of the federal government is defending America both overseas and along our borders.
11. We believe in self-defense, not the United Nations.
12. We believe in the right to own guns, period.
13. We believe in Tort Reform.
14. We believe that schools need to TEACH reading, writing, math, and science not political indoctrination.
15. We believe in the First Amendment, period.
16. We believe that ALL immigrants should obey our laws, should assimilate to US, and wait their turn in line to enter the US. 

Furthermore, liberalism cannot compete with Conservatism in these areas: A love of country, a right to own private property, and an individual’s right to prosper. The AMERICAN DREAM! Liberty and freedom...it’s on the menu. 

The Obama Administration, as forecasted by the Gunny (and many others) will end the experiment of liberalism, for at least a generation, just as Carter ended liberalism for twelve years and ushered in the 1994 Republican Revolution in the Congress. We must stay engaged to stop his policies, work against his 37 unconfirmed by the Senate CommieCzars, and remember at the polls, that THEY ignored the will of the people, bent the rules, lied, hid the facts, obfuscated, juggled the numbers, and cooked the books as they impose a takeover of the healthcare of Americans. Since January 2009, we the people have watched Obama confess to the world of American misdeeds, arrogance, mean-spiritedness, ugliness, and the bullying of our poor enemies and our lukewarm allies, Britain not withstanding. Obama actually insulted them, several times over, like a petulant child. Let us remember in 2010 and 2012, that it was Obama and the liberals who withdrew the missile defense program from Poland and Czechoslovakia (which made Putin happy). He and the left are working to shut down Gitmo and to try these terrorists on American soil, with lawyers from the ACLU and the SPLC, at a cost to the American taxpayer. In their own nations, they’d be tried and executed. Obama will send them to Club Med, which we’ll pay for no doubt. Obama and the left WAFFLE on Afghanistan, using the election of Karzai as an thin excuse NOT to reinforce the troops (reminds the Gunny of Carter and the Shah), and of course, dribbled urine down his leg over facing the Iranians and their quest for nuclear bombs. This is classic liberalism at work here and Americans KNOW IT and DO NOT LIKE IT. "The Iranian government must now demonstrate through deeds its peaceful intentions or be held accountable to international standards and international law." Obama. Wow dude. Way to lay it out. What’s next Barry? A nasty note from you to them, passed under the desk by Hillary, that awesome diplomat who got those concessions from Russia on Iran. (Actually, Putin played her like a pawn in chess.)

In just TEN MONTHS, Obama presides over an economy WORSENED under his tenure, unemployment is up, the nation's enemies challenge us, our allies don’t trust us (and rightly so), and the American people are a pot about to boil over. This is not just the failure of Obama to lead but also the abject failure of the ideology and philosophy of the Left, Liberalism. Liberalism is a romantic idea that should have ended in the minds of Americans when they reached puberty but the arrested development syndrome of liberals keeps pushing it. We on the Right see that life isn’t fair, it never will be, but then again, God didn’t design life to be fair. Life is a constant struggle, a constant effort to move up, to grow, to prosper, which is why Liberalism will fail in the end. We are self-reliant, they rely on government. Which has failed more often throughout human history, the individual or government? If you answered government, go to the head of the class.

We must hold true to the Conservative traits mentioned above and not allow the RNC and their RINOs to compromise them. Stay focused. Stay engaged. Let’s all move forward to flush liberalism down the toilet and into the sewer where it belongs.
