My blast yesterday triggered a few questions from a reader, which I want to bring to my front page… What is nationalism? What is Patriotism? What is Marxism? Can political movements of our time cherry pick effective tools from history to achieve their objectives? These questions were not asked, so much as my grasp of history and politics was deemed ignorant. Regardless of tact, I want to address these issues to better explain our current state.
The title of my post yesterday was “To Hell with Nationalism” and my sentiment today is still the same. Nationalism in the United States erodes the sanctity of the Sovereignty of the Individual States. It is the erosion of these protected liberties, of state sovereignty, which is directly responsible for the unchecked power of the Federal Government. What use is there for the people and their states when the Federal Government can tackle all problems? The notion that nationalism is a prerequisite for being a good citizen is a fool’s errand.
Patriotism, then, must be addressed. To be clear, a patriot is one who loves and adores their “father land” – patris being the Greek root “Father”. The American founder’s were referred to as Patriots, because they had such a love and adoration for the concept of liberty, for a nation that had yet to be born. They stood in defiance of tyranny in the face of the unknown. However, to be a patriot today is to be a nationalist. A “patriot” in the United States is nothing more than a tool, wrapped up in red/white/blue shirts, hats, flags, and banners to “justify their cause” – to be a Good American. Patriotism is “American”. Patriotism is pledging servitude to Obama. Patriotism is redefined with each party in power as obedience to their cause… it is a mindless label given to “good Americans” who obey their master.
Marxism, though in relative conflict with nationalism, does not preclude the strategic advantages of nationalism be used while implementing Marxist economical policy. The democrat controlled government is subtly using the mantra “obeying Obama makes you a Good American”. As such, to defy Obama or the Democrats makes you an “Un-American” or a DHS Labeled Terrorist. These tactics, also used by Bush and Neo-conservative Republicans who labeled anti-war and anti-Patriot Act protesters as Un-American, are nothing more than using the TOOL of nationalism to push an agenda. Once you can convince the general public that to be subdued is to be a good citizen, you have attained absolute power.
I am proud to be a free citizen of a Constitutional Republic... Constitution and Republic... two terms which are long forgotten or corrupted in our political society. Politicians invoke the Constitution to defend their continued power grab… and they expand in the name of Democracy… This nation was NOT founded as a democracy. It was founded as a Republic, but we have given up our Republic willingly. And our society is not free. We live under a banner of deceit and promised freedom, but we are all slaves to a system of controls – so much so that we are on the verge of being CRIMINALS for not buying healthcare insurance. “Buy this govt. product or go to jail”… the battle hymn of the democracy of the United States?
So in a Constitutional Republic, specifically the United States, I am pledged to defend a constitution which advocates for state’s rights – not an imaginary “perpetual union”. When the Union is no longer “more perfect” because of corruption, tyrannical control, and Marxist attacks and indoctrination of our citizens, is it not our duty to invoke the 9th and 10th, and to demand action by the state governments… Even Charlie Rangel understands this to some extent, telling BHO to back off of NY State Politics and Elections.
This union is broken at the federal level. The flag of the union is being used as a tool by both sides to invoke nationalist pride for the purpose of their social agenda gains. That flag is a battle flag representing something other than the Constitution or the Declaration of Independence... SO LONG AS IT IS USED AS A SYMBOL TO SUPPORT IDEALS THAT OPPRESS LIBERTY, I will not pledge allegiance to it, I will not fly it, I will not salute it, nor will I admire it.

Deficit Spending on Social Programs Compounding Social Fall-out
$11 Trillion in US debt, the Federal Government has taken the cue that there is no need to have liquid assets when you control the printing press. In doing so, over the last decades, the perception of wealth has been superior to actual wealth... and as such, inflation of the US dollar has soared, making net wealth actually much less than mere decades prior. Standards of living are vastly improved, however, again, I submit that this is merely perception of wealth.
What is more troubling is the increased role the US government is taking in providing social programs by way of social bureaucracies. With the numbers of individuals dependent on these programs swelling, there is a simple question begin begged: What happens when the money runs out?
The old parable "Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day, teach a man to fish and he will always be fed" comes to mind.
When the money runs out, when the system begins to shut down, you will get New Orleans circa Hurricane Katrina - where services were less than a mile away, with little "water walking", yet tens of thousands of people sat idly by yelling into the cameras and shouting into the air "WE WANT HELP"... sadly, some died as the mob idly stood by, unable and unwilling to save themselves - complete dependence on government assistance right up until the end.
When "we want help" fails to work for millions, as it failed during Katrina, there is going to be a catastrophe never before seen here in the United States. When the numbers are such that entire communities and ways of life have been established on government dependence, two things can happen when the well runs dry: One - entire communities begin to starve to death, disease overtakes the communities and they wither and die; two - they revolt and attack those who they perceive as 'hoarding' their entitled necessities.
I suppose option three is that the government gains total control of commodities as well as money, forcing government mandated crops for the "US Food Program" and government mandated occupation in support of the betterment of the nation. The full implementation of "to those based on their need from those based on their ability" - also known as the Marxist Dictum.
Regarding option one: private help, charitable foundations, and the like will step in, as they do now, to quell the hunger and aid those trained only to receive... however, the ability to sustain this level of charity will become impossible. You will surely begin to see limitless masses pining for their 'fair share' of the charity - unwilling to give back or to step aside for the next hungry mouth. Entire communities will be displaced or deceased... and it will be blamed on the inability of private charity to provide.
Regarding option two: I believe that conspiracy theorists refer to this scenario as the "race wars". Communities of inner city mobs will begin raids on the suburban area for wealth, then basics like food and water. The ethnic make-up of the cultural boundaries is clear to all, which is why the term 'race wars' is used. This civil unrest will be the final chapter in the story of the United States, as it existed as a free society.
The underlying problem continues to point toward government involvement. The establishment of sub-cultures, be they "migrant workers" or unskilled inner city welfare communities, is the horrible side effect of government social welfare programs. When the intent is to provide all for everyone, the system fails itself and the nation.
When the systems were 'sold' to the citizens of the US it was during a crisis - and remember the Obama administration taught us that no good crisis should go unused. Past crises were used to sell a "support net" intended to help folks get back on their feet... they became abused and resulted in the mess we see today - complete dependence.
In short - the money will run out... the money has run out. The continued wealth we see is perception only - the US is bankrupt and is digging faster into debt than ever before in the history of its existence. Once the money is gone, we are going to have a flood of government dependents screaming "We Want Help" - but in the end there will be ne'er an ear to listen.

Obama: Get in Their Face! - INTIMIDATION gets the Green Light for "Unity" ticket
Hardcore Obama supporters are encouraged to fight with their neighbors if they don't support Barack Obama. In Barry Hussein's latest attempt to bring "unity" to the Untied States in the face of increased political polarity, his solution is to harass and "get in the faces" of those who do not agree with their politics."I need you to go out and talk to your friends and talk to your neighbors. I want you to talk to them whether they are independent or whether they are Republican. I want you to argue with them and get in their face," he said.The request was made by Obama at a rally in Elko Nevada.
There was a recent request by a Presidential Candidate to "get in the faces" of the opposition party. The request for INTIMIDATION POLITICS was made by Robert Mugabe - the "President" of Zimbabwe, whose supporters murdered and tortured thousands in opposition to Mugabe. The result was a scream! Over a million people voted out of fear for their lives - changing their votes in favor of Mugabe to avoid torture or murder of their family.
Now, Barack's new policy of INTIMIDATION is nothing short of fascist. His request to verbally assault neighbors who refuse to bend knee before "The One" is Chicago Style Intimidation Politics at its worse.
You can see the smile on his face as he is encouraging violence, and the willingness and understanding of what his supporters have been asked is clear in their cheers after the request. Obama has given the green light to harass, to intimidate, to act like chaotic thugs in order scare opposition out of the voter booth on November 4th.
These thuggish tactics are textbook Marxist tactics of intimidation. These are Mafia style tactics, forcing compliance.
If this is the unity that Obama intends to bring to this free nation, I have a message for him: I F*ing Dare you to get in MY face!

Socialists in the Democratic Party
Just days ago I posted a blog on the dangers of an Obama Presidency, citing the Socialization of the United States, especially when it comes to energy.
Here is the proof: Democrats answer to the oil crisis is to nationalize the refineries so the government can control the flow of oil.
This is the FUNDAMENTAL CONTRAST between Republicans and Democrats in 2008. The Republican party still has ties to the far right, but very faint. The GOP has become a Political Party that would even be too liberal for the likes of John F Kennedy, should he be running for president today. However, the GOP maintains that Personal Property Rights are the fundamental basis of which rule of law and liberty are founded. The Democratic Party is hardly representative of it's name. They are Socialists, fundamentally. The very ideals that we fought through the Cold War have now come home to roost. The answer to every issue on the table is governmental control, or nationalization, of the land, industry, etc. Their belief is that the individual, or collective of individual private owners does not have the capacity to function in a way that meets societies needs, so they opt for control of those goods and services from their own offices. This is an ELITIST IDEOLOGY, that "they know better than I". It is a cancer in a free society, on every level... and now they are really showing their true colors (i hate to say it, but I told you so!)
What we need in 2008 is a rebirth of McCarthy. Someone willing to provide a list of all the members of Congress and the Senate who are outright Socialists, and point out the destruction they seek on the free United States.
Our Society is going the way of Atlas Shrugged, in which the government made it impossible for an industry to succeed with archaic laws, and when the industry could not survive, they nationalized it. Systematically the country fell to the whims of those in power... and the United States became a Socialist Hell-hole. Of course in the book the leaders of industry refused to continue to produce, and in so doing, took their knowledge of HOW to produce out of the hands of the government, leaving nothing. (a great read)
But I digress...
Every citizen of the United States needs to be made aware of the dangers that lie ahead with a Democratic Majority. There is nothing Progressive about Socialism or Communism. Public ownership / Government ownership of industry, property, and production are Marxist ideals that do not coexist with freedom. Freedom can only be achieved through individual rights, rule of law, and protection by the government of those rights... any role above these by the government is one that limits freedom.
The Democrats love to target the "Rich"... They love to tell stories about how the rich have become wealthy off the backs of the people. They have created a class warfare of blame and resentment. They want you to want what others have, and be willing to take it, if not by force, by granting them the power to take it on your behalf... WHAT YOU DO NOT REALIZE is that once they seize the property of the affluent, what protection do we, the proletarian, have?
When times are hard in America, we pick ourselves up by the boot-straps and we work through it. In the case of energy, we adapt... we evolve... we support an auto industry in favor of changing their power source from petroleum to electricity or other alternates. We support the free thinking imagination of the inventors, and rally behind great new technologies.
What we do not do is turn over all facets of life to the government, thus giving up entirely, and asking them to sort it all out for us. We are Americans. We do NOT take a back seat to our own destiny!
Take an active role. Contact your Senator or Congressman. Call the White House and leave a message for the President: We do NOT support the Socialist take-over of our refineries. We do NOT support the socialist tendencies of the Democratic party in these United States. And we will NOT support Socialist Democrats in 2008!

Entitlement
A thought for the day: Entitlement is the enemy of liberty.
Property rights are the staple of free market, and a country of liberty. Without the ability to take ownership of property, there is no ability to freely trade in goods.
Entitlements are nothing more than the philosophy of need being equal to right... or something deserved without having earned.
So if the enemy of Liberty is a sense of entitlement, would someone please explain to me why the Government (IRS) has sent me a letter explaining how I am "ENTITLED" to a free check worth $1200? Am I really entitled to this money? What is the source? From whom did it come? Did I earn this money, and how? How do I pay it back? At what interest?
I am not entitled to free money, and to suggest that the American People are entitled to handouts from the government is little more than supporting the mentality of a welfare state.
Am I the only one who was offended by both the money and the letter?
