To say that the election of 2012 is “Critical” does not nearly sum up how meaningful this election cycle will be. It, truly, will determine the direction our Nation takes for years to come and that direction will determine the survival of, ” The American Way of Life”. I have mentioned that term in my last Blog and the fact that it is an expression that is no longer “Politically Correct”. That “way of life” is what is at stake in this election.
This nation will decide to continue on the road to ruin or return to the path of prosperity. The two paths are separated by a huge gulf of debt, political correctness, lies and propaganda designed to appeal to the weakest of us and turn them against the strongest of us. Class warfare is the tool of the Marxist. The proletariat is the mob that will overthrow the elite and the wealthy, no matter how their wealth was attained. The rich are inherently evil and it will be the duty of the proletariat to overthrow them. Does this sound familiar to anyone who lived through the “Cold War”. Well it should! It was the matra of Marx and his minions in overthrowing the Czar and set the beginning of the Soviet Empire. An Empire that, but for the strength of Ronald Reagan, could have taken the world into nuclear winter and death for mankind. Don’t think for a minute that this is an exaggeration! We came within minutes of that very event in October 1962. I know, I was there.
On the other hand, we can elect a Congress and a President who understand the brilliance and wisdom of the Founding Fathers and return us to true adherence to the Constitution. Never allow yourself to be led by those who would tell you that the Constitution is an old outdated document. It is the most brilliant writing on liberty and a path to prosperity in the history of man. Human nature has not changed and it will not change. Man will always put a priority on those activities and achievements that benefit him and those he loves, first. ” Charity begins at home!” as quoted from Benjamin Franklin, is still the truth!
What the progressives have never understood is that, if you take from the strong and give to the weak, you soon run out of strong people to take from. That is because it is hard work to be strong and productive. It is hard to risk everything for a dream and take the chance that you will have to start all over again.
This election will determine whether we allow our Nation to become a European Socialist Economy based on Marxist philosophy or return to the philosophy of Ronald Reagan and the Founding Fathers. They understood that the best way to help the truly needy was to allow strong men to succeed and , through that success , accumulate more wealth than they personally needed. These successful people would then feel the obligation and the desire to share that success and that wealth with those less able to fend for themselves.
It is through true, “charity” that we can care for those truly in need; not some government plan to “redistribute” wealth. Wealth cannot be “redistributed” because the minute you take a persons hard earned wealth, you take away his incentive to go out and create that wealth through hard work and risk taking. We now begin to see the results of the failed philosophy of Marx. We see wealthy people sitting on piles of cash rather than investing it and creating new jobs for the rest of our people. That is because they fear the future under the liberal progressive Marxists that now control our government.
This will be the most important election in the past one hundred and fifty years since the election of Abraham Lincoln. If we do not turn the Ship of State this year, it may be too late to make meaningful course corrections as the liberal progressives dig the hole deeper and deeper. The National debt now equals the entire output of our economy for an entire year!! When is enough, enough?
