We are a nation predicated upon freedom and upon personal liberty. We are a nation predicated upon the right of the individual to seek liberty and happiness. We are a people who sought, and who still seek, to be free from outside interferences by anyone, even from those in our own government. We are a nation of individuality. We are a nation of achievers. We are a nation of people who take responsibility for our own achievements, as well as for our own failures. We have always been, however, a people who never give up. We never allow any thing to defeat us. We are a nation of farmers; ranchers, merchants, teachers, warriors and much more.
Today I think, we have forgotten our beginnings. Instead of Americans having a shared vision for America, we have become a divided nation. A nation full of individuals and of groups, each of which has their own vision for their own individual futures, not this nation. We are, however, a nation that once had an immutable vision for us all. Americans had a vision that we all once shared together at one time, no more.
The Socialist Democrats, Senator Barack Obama and Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton have a vision and have chosen to allow an extreme socialist, Marxist liberal group, MoveOn.org, to become the buyer and owners of the Democratic Party. It should be clear to all that socialism is their vision for you and me. In this election we are going to get some fourm of socialism weather we like it or not.
The question to be asked is about the future of this country, whether it will be freedom or socialism. This message was clear when Senate Socialist Democrats objected on the floor of the Senate to a resolution to denounce the despicable ad calling Gen. Petraeus a traitor. Make no mistake -- MoveOn.org owns the Democratic Party and Barack Obama and Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton.
“We bought it, we own it, and we’re going to take it back.” Those are the now infamous words spoken by MoveOn.org founder Eli Pariser when speaking about the Democratic Party after the 2004 elections. “We own it.” Make no mistake -- MoveOn.org owns the Democrat Party. “We bought it.” And how did MoveOn.org buy the Democratic Party? Campaign donations, of course. MoveOn.org has routed hundreds of thousands of campaign dollars to Democrats and they show no signs of slowing down. Congressman Tom Allen of Maine has accepted over $250,000 in donations through MoveOn.org alone. So it’s not surprising that Tom Allen has been deafeningly silent on this issue. Apparently the prospect of campaign funds is enough of an incentive for Democrats to stand idly by while a respected General is maligned before the country he has committed his life to protecting.
If a nation values anything more than freedom, it will lose its freedom; and the irony of it is that if it is power and money that it values more, it will lose that too in time.
Neither the wisest constitution nor the wisest laws will secure the liberty and happiness of a people whose manners are universally corrupt." --Samuel Adams
"It is said that 'power corrupts,' but actually it's more true that power attracts the corruptible. The sane are usually attracted by other things than power." --David Brin
If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home and leave us in peace. We seek not your council, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; and may posterity forget that ye were our country men. --Samuel Adams
MoveOn.org Democrats are working overtime to Re-model society.
A good example is in Hillary’s speech; she reiterated the theme that has been at the heart of her political vision from the start: "We are at a stage in history in which remolding society is one of the great challenges facing all of us in the West.”
This is the terminology of a utopian socialist. Hillary's ideology is an amalgam of New Left Marxism and grievance feminism, the kind of unwholesome stew that is commonplace on elite college campuses to day. Hillary Clinton claims we are "ready" for a new way.
(New Way My Ass)
First Lady, Hillary's official web site proclaims that "America is ready for universal health care.”
If we still believe in the fundamental principles on which this country was founded -- liberty, self-reliance, and limited government -- we must resist the song and dance of socialized medicine.
After the health care industry, MoveOn.org Democrats have set their sights on the energy industry, which literally drives the economy, indeed our entire way of life.
Of course, socialists like Hillary and Obama plus MoveOn.org Democrats believe that the American way of life is selfish, excessive, and wasteful. So they believe that ordinary Americans should be required by the government to make sacrifices, e.g., by mandating the kinds of cars people drive and the size of house you will live in and so no.
I believe that the 2008 election will be a referendum all right, not on the War in Iraq or taxes, but on whether the future of this country live's in freedom or socialism.
Now more than ever in this day and time the people are responsible for the character of their Government. If that body is ignorant, reckless, and corrupt, which it is, it is because the people tolerate ignorance, recklessness, and corruption. If it be intelligent, brave, and pure, it is because the people demand these high qualities to represent them in the national legislature.
It’s that simple, Ray Charles can see that!
A lot of people pretend to be for change, but they offer only the same tired old excuses and bull shit from both party’s. I’m sick of it and I’m speaking out.
“Albert Einstein once said, "Insanity is when you think that by doing more of what you are already doing you can get a different outcome." An awful lot of our politics and government is insane by Einstein's standards.”
Dam, he’s right.
