Why America is Devolving Towards Absolute Government Control
Canada Free Press ^ | Sunday, April 15, 2012 | Kelly OConnell

Posted on 04/15/2012 8:03:57 PM PDT by OneLoyalAmerican

The relentless encroachment of socialism upon America’s economic, cultural and governmental landscape is like a bad dream to most red-blooded Americans. When society changes it can seem like the ineluctable drift of evolution or chance. But in the case of America’s ongoing continued expansion of government powers, spiking taxes, and shrinking military, it’s all part of a planned elitist push into socialism. And one need not believe in secret conspiracies when contemplating this shift. In fact, for those paying attention, it was all outlined long ago by the Fabian Socialist society, and other groups such as the Frankfurt School, as explained below.

I. Basic Socialism: History & Dogma

Socialism is a European phenomenon, beginning after the French Revolution with writers from Paris and London forming the core. The definition of socialism is: “a centrally planned economy in which the government controls all means of production.” While most believe Karl Marx (1818-1883) was the father of socialism, he wrote very few specifics on the topic. In fact, one of Marx’s most signal shortcoming was his failure to describe his own working economic system. Instead, it was Vladimir Lenin (1870-1924), first leader of the new USSR who developed the theory in situ, according to the Library of Economics & Liberty. Lenin’s attempts at creating a profit-free economy was a spectacular failure, only bettered by Joseph Stalin’s larger failure.

The current host of C2C is a liberal, but that doesn’t matter to the leftist agitators.

The local station has dropped C2C here in DFW. They replaced it with the boring John Batchelor show, which will follow the boring John Batchelor show..... 8 freaking hours of boring John Batchelor????

jeesh

I don’t buy into a belief that the state is more important than the individual and neither did the Founding Fathers of the USA although there are nations founded on the concept of a most powerful government, think Russia among others.It is the character of a nation’s people that establishes the character of the nation. Our Founders certainly recognized the source of all worthy character for humans and the nation as being the Creator of such.

Romney is going to be the nominee. Conservatives were not able to put up a substantive candidate and Romney had the most friends, the most money, and by far the best hair. He had no trouble with Caine and Gingrich, who self destructed. Santorum had better staying power, but wasn't doing very well in his home state and gave up to preserve his future.
Let wait and see how Romney reacts to the leftist establishment when they get cranked up. This first round about his wife never working was a definite win for Romney.

Sometimes Bachelor's co-host is Gordon Chang, Forbes. Chang know about Red China and things Asia. He's a realist about what's going on in Red China. Things are heating up and Chang knows about it. Revolution? I hope so.

Let the Maoists take over and close the Bamboo Curtain and put all those useful idiot (Lenin's name for them) American corporations on a slow boat to America, penniless; and NO TARP for them when the get here! I like it.

Otherwise.. I don't usually listen.

I agree with you. Maybe we’ll have a miracle. She would energize the country like no one has ever done it.

That first round wasn't even a round.

The Media and Obama haven't even broken a sweat yet.

Once they get a hold of his record and start attacking him about his hypocrisy on all conservative issues, he is toast!

Your endorsement of Chang is better than mentioning he works for Forbes. Believe me.

Interesting perspective. What was grossly exaggerated?

“When you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing; when you see that money is flowing to those who deal not in goods, but in favors; when you see that men get rich more easily by graft than by work, and your laws no longer protect you against them, but protect them against you, you may know that your society is doomed.” Ayn Rand

None of this really is important. If you want to know the answer, go to various FreeRepublic threads and you will see that even people who think they are very conservative want the government to step in when it suits their taste.

Ultimately, until more people learn that government is not the solution to every problem, that often the government makes things worse, often the government can not solve a problem, government will continue to grow. But in thread after thread even here, you see people demanding more government.

Your points are good. While not knowing what's truly on the minds of those posters, good conservatives point out their error in ways. If they simply ignorant but sincere, they learn.

I have to be fair to C2C though IMO it is a serious problem them influencing apolitical listeners by going easy on Obama.. but not Republican Bush.

The cancellation of Obama-critic Sharon Sebastian due to lefty protesters may not have been Noory's decision.

The new Saturday night host John Wells just may go where no C2C man has been before. He has actually mentioned Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio. If his guests get cancelled then to me that is proof that it's coming from corp. or producer Tom Danheiser who won't answer my emails either.

If it's a close election these "nonpartisan" shows' influence on apolitical voters could literally make Obama the winner.
