So, so true.
The champions of socialism call themselves progressives, but they recommend a system which is characterized by rigid observance of routine and by a resistance to every kind of improvement. They call themselves liberals, but they are intent upon abolishing liberty. They call themselves democrats, but they yearn for dictatorship. They call themselves revolutionaries, but they want to make the government omnipotent. They promise the blessings of the Garden of Eden, but they plan to transform the world into a gigantic post office.
Mises was a freaking prophet. What an excellent quote.
...”Mises wrote, “...the educated strata are more gullible than the less educated. The most enthusiastic supporters of Marxism, Nazism, and Fascism were the intellectuals, not the boors.” Indeed, Marx, Lenin, et al., were intellectuals, and the leaders of socialism have been relatively well-to-do educated folks like Bill Ayers, not salt-of-the-earth blue-collar folks”...
This is mysterious until one considers the evil part of human nature. The elite’s want to hold their power..While they feign otherwise, they really do not want a situation, such as traditional American capitalism, where the more skilled lower classes can rise to the top. In the Marxist state the elites long for, they would have the control to decide the economic fate of everyone, not the least of which is to secure their own position as elites. When the economic part of Marxism is secured, other horrible consequences can occur. For example, despots always remove the influence of religion which makes them God. As God, carried to the extreme, they just might decide that it is O.K. to rape little girls and boys or to kill old people. The depths of unbridled evil in the human heart is horrifying to say the least and Marxism opens the door to all those possibilities. Now, most elites, being protected from the raw side of life as they are, just develop fantasies about how life should be and are just plain ignorant about how it really is. Ignorance and idle time build a “devil’s workshop,” and that is a problem. We, as a people, should be very certain that our lawmakers, including the President, and their families, should have to live under the same laws they make for the rest of us. It is a crime that the private sector in American now has an average income of only half what the bureaucrat makes. That is a recipe for disaster, in and of itself. Pardon the long-windedness and rambling..It is hard to stay calm when a new blow to freedom comes out of Washington D.C. on a daily basis. WAKE UP, AMERICA!
Good read. Good post.
This cannot be repeated enough.

Good read ping.
How unusual, an article comparing Palin to Ronald Reagan and Jesus Christ.
Oh, please. Give me a break.
I am waiting for the anti-Palin posters, you know they will be here.
If she does run, she will be lucky to get 42% of the vote from the usual suspects.
(I posted on here because I just enjoy getting hit by Palin supporters, masochist that I am).
There is a party for the Working Class already:
Sarah’s a force to be reckoned with. Elites on the Right, like Krauthammer, don’t like her either. This is going to be fun.

“The Center for Vision & Values at Grove City College presupposes that God is sovereign, that man is made in the image of God and is therefore of inestimable and eternal value, and that the God of the Bible is the indispensable starting point for understanding truth. Moreover, John’s gospel records Jesus’ words to those who believed in Him, “And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
Palin support is more a religious movement than a political ideology. Unless you’re trying to marry politics and religion.
Buyer beware.
No politician is worthy of idolatry.
Sarah Palin. Just saying that name at social events amuses me by separating the “men from the boys” in conversation.
