American Ideals

“I think we have more machinery of government than is necessary, too many parasites living on the labor of the industrious.” –Thomas Jefferson

It is at a time like this, in the face of an approaching economic collapse, that the intellectuals are preaching egalitarian notions. When the curtailment of government spending is imperative, they demand more welfare projects. When the need for men of productive ability is desperate, they demand more equality for the incompetents. When the country needs the accumulation of capital, they demand that we soak the rich. When the country needs more savings, they demand a “redistribution of income.” They demand more jobs and less profits—more jobs and fewer factories—more jobs and no fuel, no oil, no coal, no “pollution”—but, above all, more goods for free to more consumers, no matter what happens to jobs, to factories, or to producers.

It will be interesting to see what happens today in the latest chapter of the “physician slavery and communist takeover of health care” bill. Either way, the Democrats are done. This is the most vile, unconstitutional bill any party has ever attempted to shove down the throats of the American people in modern times. It is pure fascism in action. Yet they are determined to pass it come hell or high water. They will pay a heavy price if they do. The problem is, the damage they inflict on us may be impossible to roll back.

Americans have to wake up to the fact that this is not about health care. It’s about tyranny. It’s about government control. It’s about power. It’s about destroying America.

The Democrats are indeed on a suicide run… the trouble is, they may very well bring us all down with them.
