A social disease

Post by hoppy »

The reason this country continues its drift toward socialism and big nanny government is because too many people vote in the expectation of getting something for nothing, not because they have a concern for what is good for the country.

Lyn Nofziger





When one makes a Revolution, one cannot mark time; one must always go forward - or go back. He who now talks about the "freedom of the press" goes backward, and halts our headlong course towards Socialism.

Vladimir Lenin



Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.

Winston Churchill





First, then, State Socialism, which may be described as the doctrine that all the affairs of men should be managed by the government, regardless of individual choice.

Benjamin Tucker



To pursue a so-called Third Way is foolish. We had our experience with this in the 1960s when we looked for a socialism with a human face. It did not work, and we must be explicit that we are not aiming for a more efficient version of a system that has failed.

Vaclav Klaus



To cure the British disease with socialism was like trying to cure leukaemia with leeches.

Margaret Thatcher



Socialism values equality more than liberty.

Dennis Prager



The function of socialism is to raise suffering to a higher level.

Norman Mailer



The goal of socialism is communism.

Vladimir Lenin



The only differences one can and should allow in socialism are between hard working people and idlers and between honest people and dishonest people.

Slobodan Milosevic

My friends, we live in the greatest nation in the history of the world. I hope you'll join me as we try to change it.

Barack Hussein Obama



And a couple about Obama's "constituents" before his "meteroic" rise:



In most places in the country, voting is looked upon as a right and a duty, but in Chicago it's a sport. In Chicago not only your vote counts, but all kinds of other votes--kids, dead folks, and so on.

Dick Gregory



You can get much farther with a kind word and a gun than you can with a kind word alone.

God everyone is so paranoid.

Were only talking about healthcare, not the core of capitalism.

I dont expect something for nothing.

Do you think people are going to stop working if they get some form of govt. regulated healthcare?

They still have to pay their mortgage and eat, make car payments...

Do you think the plan calls for putting mega insurance companies out of business?

No it doesnt.

Do you think healthcare for everyone is going to diminish our society as we know it?

No its not, its just healthcare.

BOOGEYMAN ! Scare you?

I have to make some kind of declaration or something.

I cant talk about this stuff anymore.

You guys know how I think and I know how you think.

Dragging it out will just be chasing my tail around in circles.

Maybe later when something has actually happened.

That's okay. The media machine anticipated your capacity. Just today they brought up Afghanistan again.

Why is Obama so great?

If George W. Bush had made a joke at the expense of the

Special Olympics, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had given Gordon Brown a set of inexpensive and

incorrectly formatted DVDs, when Gordon Brown had given him a

thoughtful and historically significant gift, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had given the Queen of England an iPod

containing videos of his speeches, would you have thought this

embarrassingly narcissistic and tacky?

If George W. Bush had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia, would you

have approved?

If George W. Bush had visited Austria and made reference to

the non-existent "Austrian language," would you have brushed it off as

a minor slip?

If George W. Bush had filled his cabinet and circle of advisers

with people who cannot seem to keep current on their income taxes,

would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had been so Spanish illiterate as to refer to

"Cinco de Cuatro" in front of the Mexican ambassador when it was the

fourth of May (Cuatro de Mayo), and continued to flub it when he tried

again, would you have winced in embarrassment?

If George W. Bush had mis-spelled the word advice would you have

hammered him for it for years like Dan Quayle and potatoe as "proof" of

what a dunce he is?

If George W. Bush had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel to go plant a

single tree on "Earth Day", would you have concluded he's a hypocrite?

If George W. Bush's administration had okayed Air Force One flying

low over millions of people followed by a jet fighter in downtown

Manhattan causing widespread panic, would you have wondered whether they

actually "get" what happened on 9-11?

If George W. Bush had been the first President to need a teleprompter

installed to be able to get through a press conference, would you have

laughed and said this is more proof of how he inept he is on his own and

is really controlled by smarter men behind the scenes?

If George W. Bush had failed to send relief aid to flood victims

throughout the Midwest with more people killed or made homeless than in

New Orleans, would you want it made into a major ongoing political

issue with claims of racism and incompetence?

If George W. Bush had ordered the firing of the CEO of a

major corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority to

do so, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had proposed to double the national debt, which

had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, in one year, would

you have approved?

If George W. Bush had then proposed to double the debt again within

10 years, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had reduced your retirement plan's holdings of GM

stock by 90% and given the unions a majority stake in GM, would you have

approved?

If George W. Bush had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to take

Laura Bush to a play in NYC, would you have approved?



So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant and impressive? Can't think of anything? Don't worry. He's done all this in 5 months -- so you'll have three years and seven months to come up with an answer.
