How to win

Democrats, leftists, progressives, liberals and collectivists have all mastered this game, but its most tragic and inexplicable success has played out in the United States, whose legendary freedom was gained at great sacrifice. Renowned economist Thomas Sowell points out the horrifying simplicity of the deception.

How to avoid becoming a hostage to politicians

HAT TIP:
The Patriot Post

Greater freedom for tax payers would be seized from tax consumers, in an act of terrorism against the sacred machinery of redistribution. This mindset flows from the fundamental leftist misunderstanding of freedom. They view the essence of freedom as action. ... In reality, freedom is property. Every form of collectivism, from fascism to socialism, is an offense against property rights. The early philosophers of socialism railed bitterly against the private ownership of property. They hated the notion of a middle class with independence secured through ownership. The perilous financial situation of the United States government illustrates how closely private property rights are connected to all other forms of liberty. The less absolute your rights of ownership over your land, labor, and fortune become, the more easily the other rights can be dismissed at the convenience of the State. ... Now we are told that we have no choice but to allow the State to become larger, spending and borrowing more as it extends its control over our lives. Those who disagree are denounced as 'terrorists.' ... In a nation where the government fully respected private ownership, the notion of citizens becoming 'hostages' to federal budget cuts would be laughable, rather than insulting. Freedom is not something to be granted, rationed, allocated, or redistributed. It is not won or lost in an election. Freedom is something you own.

Ayn Rand Forecasts Economic Disaster from Collectivism & Socialism

From Gary Aminoff at BEAR TO THE RIGHT

In this interview of Ayn Rand by Mike Wallace in 1958, Ayn Rand describes how elected leaders should have limited powers. She handles tough questions from Mike Wallace who consistently tries to trip her up or make her look silly. It is an amazing interview. Fifty years ago Ayn Rand predicted what would happen to the US economically if we continued to follow the trend toward collectivism and socialism.

I highly recommend you spend the 9 minutes to watch this important video. Rand says Americans have never been given the choice between freedom and collectivism...

Obama-Care, Euthanasia, and The Boiled Frog Syndrome

We’re going to be covering quite a bit of ground in this article: I’ll be discussing “Glen Beck’s Common Sense,” Ezekiel Emanuel (Dr. Death), Collectivism, AARP, Sorelian myths, the Fascist Left, and The Boiled Frog Syndrome, among other things—so let’s get started.

The means by which statism has become our national theology

Statism: the principle or policy of concentrating extensive economic, political, and related controls in the state at the cost of individual liberty.

I hope you will take the five minutes to watch this video. It is the most impactful one I have ever seen.

This video was made in 1984. It shows a former KGB agent disgussing how America will be completely taken over with Soviet/Socialist policies from within. He says the process of 'demoraliztion' is complete and irreversible.

It wasn't called the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics for nothing! If you're not frightened by this, perhaps you don't remember history or don't have a grasp of what it was truly like for those living under the Soviet rule.

PS - Please view the other videos in this series, the former KGB man explains how he taught college kids to agitate against America in the 1960's in order to further an anti-American/pro-Socialist agenda - www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHgYPDvQFU8&feature=player_embedded

Stop Blaming Capitalism for Government Failures

...while capitalism may be a convenient scapegoat, it did not cause any of these problems. Indeed, whatever one wishes to call the unruly mixture of freedom and government controls that made up our economic and political system during the last three decades, one cannot call it capitalism...America came closest to this system in the latter half of the nineteenth century. The result was an unprecedented explosion of wealth creation and consequent rise in the standard of living. Even now, when the fading remnants of capitalism are badly crippled by endless controls, we see that the freest countries--those which retain the most capitalist elements--have the highest standard of living...Why then should capitalism take the blame today--when capitalism doesn’t even exist?
