We Are Liberals: Red, White and Socialist

Liberals are fighting mad! We’ve had it up to here with President Bush, Karl Rove, Vice President Cheney and the Halliburton oligarchy! This has to stop here and now! The liberals of the world must unite against the fascism and tyranny that is ruining the country once known as America. There was once a chance for peace in the world, but Bill Clinton has faded into obscurity.

Now, we must put up with this hick President from the Redneck State of Texas—a state that has executed more people than any other state since 1976. It appears they love to punish minorities through the antiquated and barbaric capital punishment system. It’s a wonder minorities even live in Texas anymore.

Where will the world end up with this oligarchy? In Armageddon? We’re headed there now. This isn’t a presidency for the people, by the people and of the people. It’s a presidency for Halliburton, by Halliburton and of Halliburton. It all began on January 20, 2001—the day that Halliburton and the Supreme Court highjacked the election. If we don’t stop them now, we’ll never get this country back. We can’t leave the hopes and dreams of our posterity to a bunch of conservatives—commonly referred to as “mind numbed robots.”

Conservatives like Newt Gingrich, Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter and Mark Levin champion this conglomerate of evil. Newt and company are men and women that appear to have had lobotomies, barking out their orders at the whims of corporations and special interest groups. We must stop them and the progress in Iraq and Afghanistan. We must bring Halliburton home now or face the devastating consequences of a freer world. Those precise sentiments are trumpeted in the mainstream media, and should forever be our rally cry to freedom.

On February 25, 2005, in an article for United Press International, Pamela Hess wrote, “The total worth of Department of Defense contracts from 1998 to 2003 was 2.5 billion dollars. Halliburton’s fortunes increased dramatically with the onset of the Iraq war. In 2003 alone, it received contracts from the Defense Department worth 4.3 billion dollars, more in one year than it won in Pentagon contracts over the previous five years.” That was just one of the many examples of the Halliburton oligarchy.

Pamela continued, “In January 2004, Halliburton fired two of its employees in Kuwait who accepted a 6 million dollar bribe in exchange for awarding Army subcontracts to a Kuwait-based company involved in Iraq reconstruction. The next month, Pentagon auditors discovered Halliburton had overcharged the military 27.4 million for meals served to American troops at five military bases in Iraq and Kuwait last year.”

No wonder Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and other loud-mouthed conservatives have been Halliburton’s mouthpiece. It wouldn’t surprise anyone if they had stock in the company. With assets going through the roof, Rush and Sean are sure to reward their benefactor, Vice President Cheney and the Halliburton oligarchy.

In a 2003 article for The Nation, Naomi Klein, a rock-solid journalist writes, “It’s not too late to cancel the contracts and ditch the deals. It’s too late to stop the war, but it’s not too late to deny Iraq’s invaders the myriad of economic prizes they went to war to collect in the first place.”

These are yet more reasons we should end the colonization of Iraq and the Middle East.

“Any movement serious about Iraqi self-determination must call not only for an end to Iraq’s military occupation, but to its economic colonization as well,” Naomi wrote. “That means reversing the shock therapy reforms the US occupation chief Paul Bremer has fraudulently passed off as “reconstruction” and canceling all privatization contracts flowing from these reforms.”

Hooray for Naomi! She must continue to report these hypocrisies from the Bush administration. She must advance the liberal agenda at all costs. We must stop the Halliburton oligarchy, even if it means putting everyone at Halliburton out of work. Damn the economy, full speed ahead!

There are even more sobering examples of how Halliburton has kept a tight grip on America and the Bush administration!

In a 2002 article for Corp Watch, Jordan Green wrote, “The Pentagon posts all contract announcements exceeding 5 million dollars on its website, but in Halliburton’s case declined to disclose the estimated value of the award.”

It’s no surprise as to why Vice President Cheney chaired the corporation so long. The corporation caters to the rich and screws the little guy while profiting off the military. Our voices are heard across America and still the occupation continues.

In a May 19, 2004 rally in Houston, protestors assembled at the Halliburton Corporation shareholders meeting to shout at the devil and raise liberty’s banner. Andrea Buffa of Global Exchange, one of the groups organizing the protest, said, “We’re going to tell the shareholders and CEO of Halliburton to bring their employees home from Iraq and stop ripping off U.S. taxpayers and Iraqis.”

Unfortunately, it didn’t work. She probably should’ve sent a letter to Dick Cheney and the administration responsible instead. Halliburton is still in Iraq and Afghanistan, economically occupying those countries for their own self-interests of greed. All of this coming at the whim of two men: Vice President Cheney and George W. Bush.

Hadi Jawad of the Dallas Peace Center didn’t mince any words: “It’s just wrong that Halliburton can get away with overcharging millions of dollars in Iraq, not to mention its other offensive practices, like dodging taxes through offshore subsidiaries and side-stepping federal laws. But because the company is ‘embedded’ in the Bush administration, they’re just made more profitable instead of being held accountable.”

Hadi isn’t just whistling Dixie either. Embedded is a soft term to use for this war-mongering, capitalistic, greedy administration. That’s why we must fight!

We must fight the power and the Halliburton oligarchy! We must fight the man—the man that keeps his thumb on us, forever oppressing the poor people and outsourcing our liberties to Iraq and Afghanistan.

We must fight on the beaches! We must fight in the courts! We must fight in the fields, and in the streets, using our grass roots to reach our fringe. We must fight in Congress! We must fight on Social Security! We must fight for higher taxes, and stop giving breaks to rich people! We must fight a free Middle East! We must keep people oppressed. We will never surrender!

We will forever keep the communist grip on American soil. We must strip the last vestiges of liberty from all corporations, small business and every flag-waving conservative in America. We must remember our heroes: Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Kerry and Kennedy. We must honor their memory at every turn. We must fight President Bush, Vice President Cheney and the Halliburton oligarchy, because they represent freedom and prosperity to all Americans and the world. We must fight our soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines and coastguardsmen because they are beacons of shining hope and prosperity to oppressed nations.

The Difference Makers
Men's News Daily ^ | 1/17/2005 | Chris Davis

Russell Kirk once wrote, “A conservative is not, by definition, a selfish or a stupid person; instead, he is a person who believes there is something in our life worth saving.”

In the essay, The Essence of Conservatism, Kirk goes on to define conservatism and explain the unique qualities of conservatives; the individualities that mark the distinct differences between American conservatives and the rest.

Those indelible qualities have been incorporated into America’s soul from our Founding Fathers. They sought a Republic as moral, as just and divine as any in the world. They sought an America full of hope and inspiration for all of mankind. And they founded a country bathed in God’s wisdom, dedicated to liberty and based in economic prosperity, setting a shining example for those that choose to follow. In our forefather’s wisdom, they handed down an America that should be cherished and celebrated with every waking moment.

Conservatives are—by their very essence—the brightest hope of America’s future. They are not ignorant, violent or racist. They believe in equality to all men and women, yet know that it must not extend to a great experiment; an experiment rooted in socialistic fundamentals. They believe you reap what you sow, defining the difference of abilities. Or as Kirk writes, “The just society requires sound leadership, different rewards for different abilities, and a sense of respect and duty.” It is the sense of respect and duty that leads American conservatives to believe God ordained the inalienable right of freedom to all mankind; that America is a beacon in the darkness.

American conservatives are the very spirit of the greatest country in the world. They are the engine in the American machine, the machine that produced a superpower and spread liberty to all men and women. It is their indefatigable nature that provided for surpluses of wealth not found in the “civilized” areas of the world. They are staunch defenders of the U.S. Constitution. They remind all that power should be kept under local control, and that privatizing is an inexorably good quality for the country. They breed a proper system of checks and balances for government, the market and private citizens.

Conservatives believe this nation should lead the world stage in the 21st century—such is one lesson handed down from their forefathers, dating from the Revolutionary War, and leading its way in the War on Terror. They do not believe America should reshape the world, just propagate liberty. They believe, in the words of Thomas Paine, “The world is my country, all mankind are my brethren, and to do good is my religion.” For American conservatives, a society free from tyranny is a healthy society—another lesson handed down from the Founding Fathers. It is conservatism that will defend the country, protect its citizens and secure a healthy, free economy for their posterity.

The values shared—beginning in 1776—have been passed down from father to son and mother to daughter for generations. Every generation faced its own unique challenges, beginning with the New Deal and its proponents. However, American conservatives believe “The Great Society” was the beginning of the downfall of personal responsibility, ushering in an era of social programs to the bane of American taxpayers. They know that no truly great society can survive established with liberalism; any society basing its foundation on wealth redistribution. They know the Founding Fathers created the Constitution—the greatest conservative document in World History—establishing a free economy and placing the aspirations of a young country to the individuals that drive it. That generation of Americans carved out the beginnings of the finest nation on Earth. They were difference makers, forging traditions in morality, divine justice and a belief in the rule of law that governs the conduct of the people.

Those traditions have rooted themselves in America, expressing the finest intentions of Kirk’s philosophy on American conservatives: “They understand that men and women are best content when they can feel that they live in a stable world of enduring values. Most conservatives are neither rich nor powerful. But they do, even the most humble of them, derive great benefits from our established Republic. They have liberty, security of person and home, equal protection of the laws, the right to the fruits of their industry, and opportunity to do the best that is in them.” These values are passed down to ensure the right direction of this Republic. There can be no vitality rooted in liberalism. So the difference makers emerge at the ready, preserving a great society, conservatism, and breeding a good culture. These difference makers are exemplified in men like Russell Kirk and William F. Buckley, Jr.—men rejuvenating American conservatism, founding sound principles for the United States and expressing conservative thought to the majority of Americans, conservatives.

With each new generation come men and women that express conservative thought, exercising their belief in national pride, and battling communism, despotism and terrorism. These private citizens—Newt Gingrich, Rush Limbaugh, David Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, William Bennett, Ann Coulter and Michelle Malkin exhibit the finest examples of the “new media” and are the driving force behind conservative philosophy in the 21st century.

These men and women that express conservative thought are conveying the sentiment of the majority of Americans—the people rallying under every exigency, for love of country, love of mankind and love of God. These Americans, the difference makers, believe in the United States, promoting the growth of conservatism through the Internet, talk radio and television. Now, they exist in all forms, propagating the belief that conservatism will save America. They come from all walks of life. From accountants to zoologists, they exert every ounce of energy to better America and its citizens. They work the polls at elections. They walk door to door to preserve the Constitution. They know that their ideas our American ideals. They are born of traditions that destroy liberalism. They preserve the fine institutions for the sake of posterity. They are mothers, fathers, sons and daughters. They are next door neighbors. They are Americans, salt of the Earth. And they are the largest reason for the new conservative shift in 21st century America. Without them holding off the politically correct climate that liberals create, America would be subjugated to the domination that terrorism has wrought on Europe and the Third World. Because of these men and women, we remain the sole superpower in the world. They believe America is worth driving, worth protecting and worth all they can give. They believe the United States is worth saving from “The Great Society.” They believe, being encumbered with Social Security, that it needs reforming for future generations. They believe in legal immigration and border protection. They believe in permanent tax cuts, in personal responsibility and clean family values. These are hard working men and women of America.

And they are the difference makers.
