Mayday! May Day?

When I was a tot, I remember May first as a day when we would sit around in class and make fake flowers, with the intent of leaving them on the door of some unsuspecting recipient as part of a celebration that "rung in spring"... Little did I know at the time that it was actually a celebration of communism / socialism in which we provide to those according to their needs based on our ability.

On this Snowy May Day, I am thankful that we are no longer growing up in the Cold War Era... but regretful that the latest generation doesn't truly "GET" Rocky 4... or the struggle that freedom had when faced with Socialism.

It makes me uneasy that in my class of 64 graduating Aerospace Engineers back in 2004, about half had no issues with moving to China to help China's goal of Lunar and extra-planetary exploration...

It upsets me that there is a lackadaisical attitude towards freedom and liberty in America anymore... and that "rights" are now defined as what the government "should give me" - without thought as to how the government obtained the goods in the first place (i.e. my pocketbook!)

It frustrates me that "Coming to America" is no longer a song in which the glory of America is exalted as the Right Choice and Moral High Ground in the world... Coming to America is now a right that our elected leaders believe every "citizen of the world" has, regardless of illness, intent, or ability... and once you "come to America" the government will provide everything you need... off the broken back of the taxpayer!

So on this May Day, I am remembering the communist training that I received so many years ago, as an unaware child... and I am thankful that in my life I was able to rise above the propaganda, and become a free thinking, liberty loving Conservative!

It's all too 1984...

WAR IS PEACE / FREEDOM IS SLAVERY / IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH...

The book 1984 is an extremely prophetic book to the troubles of our times... written in the late 1940's, it eerily describes the state of the world as it is today, with a twist. If you have not read this book, I urge you to do so... in hopes that you will understand the society that we are allowing to form around us as we become more and more dependent on the government.

The social structure of the book describes the Proles (the 85% of the population) who are the working class... a class that is dependent on the government for their very survival, and one that is also easily disposed of without question... as the Proles live in constant fear of their government, though no-one can say as such. The Proles are kept ignorant, because the citizen who knows too much is a threat to the society as a whole... They are subject to constant re-education, as the Ministry of Truth works feverishly to change historical facts... They are kept occupied by television programs that demand their interaction, and often include graphic programs with violence and propaganda...

My friends, the masses of the United States are being set up as Proles... With the increase in Reality Television demanding your every spare moment, you lose the ability to self educate... you lose the ability to form independent thought... or if you form an independent thought, to take any form of action.

We are losing the moral high ground... replacing morals with ignorance... replacing reason with ignorance... replacing philosophy with ignorance.

For instance, try having a debate with anyone on the left... educated or not as much... the debate on ANY issue becomes emotion filled, as opposed to logic filled... all reason is thrown out the door as talking points and charges of racism begin to flung around... and all ability to intelligently discus an issue has been lost...

Ignorance is Strength... because now the intelligent debater is left trying to prove the negative: "I am not a racist because...", "I am not an idiot because..." ... and as such, any chance for growth in this discussion is lost.

So as you look around, see how the masses are being "educated"... see how the moral fiber is degrading... see how we are setting ourselves up to be ruled...

The year... the year is 1984, I think.

God Bless...
