A House Resolution Condemning Socialism as Anti-American (needs sponsors)

Below is a proposed House Resolution condemning Socialism as anti-American. Please take action and tweet, email, FB Share, etc. this with your Representative (or a staunch anti-socialist Representative such as Allen West, et al).

There is s movement underway, started by an article in theNew York Times, to whitewash and sanitize Socialism a harmless boogeyman. This cannot stand.

We must find sponsors for this Resolution or one like it. Let those who dare oppose it for all to see and hear stand and be counted. If you see the reason in this, please help get this out. If you think it can’t be done, read no further and put your head back in the sand.

Whereas The Declaration of Independence (the “Declaration”) embodies the essence of “Americanism”;

Whereas the tenants of Socialism, in the works of Karl Marx, et al, are the antithesis of the ideals set forth in the Declaration;

Whereas The Declaration recognizes the sanctity of the individual and individual rights, stating: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”;

Whereas Socialism mandates the sacrifice of the individual’s life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness to the State, to the collective;

Whereas under the Socialist ideal, the State Collective is the despotic arbiter of the needs of each individual, seized and redistributed from each individual according to the State determined ability of the individuals in its collective;

Whereas the Declaration states that “to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed”;

Whereas Socialism runs anathema to the Declaration, holding that men’s rights are dictated at and by the whim of the Government collective;

Whereas the Declaration precludes Socialism, which would create a “Form of Government [which would become] destructive of [the] ends” set forth in the Declaration, triggering the “Right of the People to alter or to abolish” such a Socialist regime;

Whereas in the history of Socialist governments is “a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny”;

Whereas Socialists programs, such as “Agenda 21” and the” Law of the Sea Treaty,” would require our sovereign Nation to combine “with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving [] Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation”;

Whereas the Socialist initiatives would take “away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws and alter[] fundamentally the Form[] of our Government”;

Whereas Socialism is anathema to the American ideal of Federalism, that the States “are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States”: Now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That Socialism in any form be condemned as being anti-American, running counter to the American ideals set forth in Our Declaration of Independence.

Action needed: Help Find Sponsors (Allen West would be a good possibility)

They'd have more sponsors in that cesspool if they brought a resolution to the floor extolling socialism as patriotic and oh so American.

Good Bye, America......we hardly knew ye.

We’d be better served by gaining even more support for Tim Walberg’s “Defending America’s Affordable Energy & Jobs Act”. Its already got over 100 co sponsors. What it does is strips the EPA of regulatory power and requires congressional votes to impose regulations.

To: The originator of this document -—

Please correct “tenants of Socialism” to “tenets of Socialism.”

I am unable to understand why this particular error has become so deeply embedded in present-day writings.

This Res is aimed at smoking out socialists in Congress and preventing Socialism from losing its stigma.

This seems like a giant waste of time for our reps.

How about they actually do something productive while here in DC?

“Bad auto-correct”

Don’t let it happen again, or I’ll reach over there and slap you.
When writing for publication or posterity, do not ever trust a machine to do the correct thing.
