It’s Americanism vs. Socialism on November 4th

At a recent campaign rally, along what is called “the rope line,” Senator Barack Obama was asked a question by a young prospective business owner about taxes and how Obama’s economic plan would affect him, his family and his business. Obama’s response – his unscripted, from the heart, authentic, no-spin, off-the-teleprompter response – was something that would have made Karl Marx proud. Make no mistake, “my friends,” this election is about Americanism vs. Socialism, and little else.

As Barack Obama was making his way through the crowd in Toledo, Ohio, a young plumber, Joe Wurzelbacher, situated at the rope line (the pathway candidates take to-and-from the venue stage) asked Sen. Obama a pretty straight forward question:

“Senator Obama, I’m going to have a business that makes $280,000 a year. You want to tax me. Why do you want to do that?”

And Obama gave him a pretty straight-forward, albeit chilling response:

“It’s not that I want to punish your success. I just want to make sure that everybody who is behind you, that they’ve got a chance at success too. I think that when you spread the wealth around it’s good for everybody.”

“I think that when you spread the wealth around it’s good for everybody.” There is so much wrong with not only this statement but this ideology it’s hard to know where to begin, but I’ll start with this: Senator Obama...it’s not your money to give!

Obama said it himself; he wants to take money from hard working people in order to “spread it around” to those who aren’t willing to put forth the same effort or cultivate their own ideas. This is the essence of the Communist ideal of "From each according to their ability, to each according to their needs." So do we elect an un-American candidate like Obama and become socialists, or do we reject this unqualified person, and elect someone who actually knows what it means to sacrifice for his country?

OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT... of Animal Farm.

OK 0bama, why don’t you spread around every dollar YOU have in excess of $250,000.

Interesting number, $250,000. Isn’t that about the highest government salary?

This isn’t socialism. It’s pure, unadulterated Marxism.

Sadly, for half of us, Americanism IS Socialism.

The decades-old plan of The Frankfurt School appears to be very near fruition.
