Help Needed to Combat Left Wing Propaganda

Ah, the “logic” of the left. These are the same people who argue that the 2nd amendment should be overturned because so many other nations don’t allow gun ownership. And we shouldn’t have been upset by 4.00/gallon gasoline. Other countries rates are much higher.

All his points are loaded and full of non sequitur. A short reply, not academic, just a rebuttal to his ideology.

1. The United States was established to get away from the Divine Right of Kingship and have the individual actually govern themselves. This Country arose out of the Age of Reason and it's make-up was a combination of certain Greek Poleis (Pericles' Athens was a big influence), Roman Republic, and religious pluralism (Christian/Judea pluralism at that).

The collectivist scream the "right to privacy" but when it comes to the government invading a person's "privacy" by forcing to look into their income, the Statist become one big elite hypocrites.

Also the United States, due to a lower tax rate, can expand our GDP/economy which enables us to pay for a superior military which those other socialist States can't. We propped up NATO, police the world when they come crying to the US, and enable all these other socialist countries to continue their assault on the individual which Reich welcomes to our shores.

2. The rich do pay too much. So much so they take their ball and go offshore. Also, another loaded disingenuous example. It's not the rich/wealthy Reich, it's the INCOME earners especially the small business owner that gets raped (Especially when money INFLATES you ignoramus).

Also, since Reich absolutely ignores inflation/deflation, the ATM is about to to some serious harm, let's see if it's just the "rich" Reich. Hey Reich, what happened when Reagan cut the rates and your King in the 90's cut the capital gains tax. By the way, Ike was an elitist just like you:

"Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes you can do these things. Among them are H. L. Hunt (you possibly know his background), a few other Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or business man from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid." Ike was just like you, a collectivist who enjoys being with the elites.

3. Again, the assault on the individual is at full swing, I bet your Brandy taste so much better with the peons being taxed to hell. It's about control, right Reich and whoever swallows his crap and hyperbolic name calling.

4. Will he let the Bush tax cuts expire? Obama is engaging in deferred taxation to all who the dumbasses who swallow Reich's stuff. The elites know all this yet the useful idiots become enamored. Obama is also in the process of shifting a large % of investments from the private sector to the public bureaucracy. In short, Obama is promoting fascism which Reich masturbates profusely over due to the chance to coordinate over since he is part of the "anointed" class.

5. Inflation and interest Reich, ever hear of those you perverted would be tyrant. "...because consumers and businesses won't" is because they are being taxed to death, the taxes filtered through a corrupt, bloated bureaucracy, and wasted. Again, look what happens when tax rates being cut, Reich and all the useful idiots, this is becoming tiresome.

“To preserve independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt.” A man who privately did not practice what he preached, but since we are throwing quotes around... But then again, at least he put his neck out, unlike other well protected politicians of the 20th century Reich quotes from.

6. “The maxim of buying nothing but what we had money in our pockets to pay for... (is) a maxim, which, of all others, lays the broadest foundation for happiness.” Another quote from the same person who actually stuck his neck out and who also lowered the deficit despite of making a big purchase.

I am not a patriot Reich, those who founded this Country were, but your collectivist heroes pretty much killed the idea of people who made your heroes.

These founders risked their lives for liberty, the people you quote from just reaped the benefits.

I am for the individual, Reich and his cronies are about ruling over the collective. We are hanging onto a Constitution but again, Reich thinks patriotism is all about supporting government waste, fraud, abuse, and being a slave to a bureaucracy. Go masturbate to Mussolini and Engels/Marx you power whore, I will pick up my arms and defend my freedom.

Useful idiots, go look into the intent of the General Welfare clause, Reich and his cronies flee from it but hopefully lurkers will have their minds opened up.
