Are We Truly All Socialist Now: Review Of The First 2016 Democrat Socialist Debate

GTY_sanders_clinton2_ml_151014_16x9t_240A February 16, 2009 Newsweek cover page prophetically read, “We Are All Socialist Now”. It ushered in the election Barack Obama as the president of the United States. In retrospect , it should have had an exclamation mark at the end of the statement. They seemed to have foreseen what many of us only had nightmares of. Unfortunately not the majority of us.

Last week at their first debate to decide who would be their Party’s choice to lead the nation for the next 4 years, the Democrats had their chance to sit at the grown-ups table to express their vision of the nation. But all they could do is demand for more candy and ice cream, without ever mentioning how to pay for it, but knew it would not be them. Their basic theme centered around the notion of the so-called haves verses the so-called have nots, i.e., increasing the minimum wage or giving illegal immigrants “free” education and citizenship, growing government, i.e., giving everyone “free” education and taxing the “rich”, and restricting personal liberties, i.e., barring lawful citizens from acquiring guns.  Not one of the issues they harped on addresses what the majority of Americans rate as even relatively important.  There was no resemblance of Democrat President John Kennedy’s mantra, “Ask not what your country can do for you, but ask what you can do for your country.”  The words Constitution, freedom, self-responsibility, and God were seemingly banished, as well.

According to a recent Rasmussen Poll, a whopping 69% of Americans believe that the nation is headed in the wrong direction. Overall, approximately 35% of Americans see the economy as important [General Economy-13%, Jobs/Unemployment-9%, & the Federal Debt-3%]. And approximately 70% view “non-economic” issues as important [ Dissatisfaction with of government topping the list at 14%, Immigration/Illegal-Aliens-6%, and Ethics/Moral/Religious Decline-5%], according to Gallop.com. As the Democrat President wannabes demonstratively championed the need for more government power taking the guns away from law-abiding citizens and expanding entitlements, a poll taken by Gallop tells us that 6 out of 10 Americans believe that government already has too much power.

One has to keep in mind that when Democrat politicians talk about growing government they are not talking to America at-large, but to its minority base. According to a recent Gallop Poll, nearly 60% of those identifying themselves as Democrats favor an expanded government role in their lives, i.e., more welfare, more of a nanny state, more socialistic policies from government. It is not the desire of the majority of Americans.  It is just that it is the base of the Dems that are creating the most noise and disturbance that’s garnering them the most attention.

Under Democrat President Obama’s Administration the poverty role has skyrocketed by a staggering 13 million citizens. And ever since Democrat President Lyndon Johnson engaged the federal government in the so-called war on poverty over some 50 years ago, the poverty rate has only dropped from 19% to 15%. In a recent Census Report, an astonishing 1 out 3 American families are considered the “working poor”. Many of them are Black and of Latin descent. Prime voter targets for Democrats politicians. Remember it was Democrat House majority Leader, and former House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi who made the asinine statement, “unemployment benefits remain one of the best ways to grow the economy in a very immediate way.” Can you imagine if a Republican made such an intellectually insulting statement remaining in any high political regard? Anything that the government gives to one citizen, it has taken from another. Only private enterprise can grow the economy.

The notion of “Big Brother” and bigger government is better government is not only held by politicians with a “D” after their names. This ideology is closely associated with that of Progressives. Teddy Roosevelt, a Republican, was the first Progressive. Many can effectively argue that former Presidents Nixon, H.W and G.W Bush were also Republican Progressives. G.W expanded government to make Teddy blush.

Americans are not organically compatible with the ideals nor principles of Socialism nor Communism, of which the Democrat party is closely intertwined, according to theDailyCaller.com, or Progressivism. We can be conditioned to accept it under extreme duress due to increased cost of living and stagnant/declining wages, psychological manipulation via an unchecked Media Complex, and a government educational system that teaches more of how to place a condom on a cucumber and how everyone is “equal”, rather than the 7 Sciences and the true roles of government and the people in a Constitutional Republic. That is why you don’t hear honest talk of improving the nation’s economy and the standard of living, decreasing the burden of government, or applying high moral standards to governmental policies from Democrats nor Republican Progressives. That is how they get their power. This is how they stay in power.

It was 1930’s-40’s Socialist Presidential Candidate Norman Thomas who infamously said, “The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of ‘liberalism’ they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.”

It is only when the true grown up majority demand the nation drastically cut sweets and consume more veggies.  That those who know that real strength and prosperity comes from high personal responsibility, high moral values, and limited government, as our Founders desired, are no longer muted, muffled and restrained will this nation achieve its true greatness. At the end of the day, it is up to us to determine our destiny.

The American and European Border Crisis: The Alinsky-Piven Strategy Threatens Christendom Strongholds

 

A 2005 Discoverthenetworks.org article reported  on Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven, Columbia University sociologists, author a book in 1966 called “The Weight of the Poor: A Strategy to End Poverty”, later referred to as the Cloward-Piven Strategy. In the article  Cloward and Piven describes how to transform a capitalist world into a socialist world, stating, “Rather than placating the poor with government hand-outs,, activists should work to sabotage and destroy the welfare system; the collapse of the welfare state would ignite a political and financial crisis that would rock the nation; poor people would rise in revolt; only then would “the rest of society” accept their demands. They believed that if capitalist governments were “pressed to honor every word of every law and statute, every Judeo-Christian moral tenet, and every implicit promise of the liberal social contract, human agencies inevitably fall short. The system’s failure to “live up” to its rule book can then be used to discredit it altogether, and to replace the capitalist “rule book” with a socialist one.” What “rule book” are they referring to? These two were heavily inspired by another 1960’s leftist radical, Saul Alinsky, author of Rules for Radicals. In his book under “Rule 7 “Tactics”- How the “Have-Nots” can take power away from “the Haves.” “Tactics #4 “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules. You can kill them with this, for they can no more obey their own rules than the Christian church can live up to Christianity.”

And just what is the tenet of Christendom that can arguably be its achilles heel? Our devotion to charity, aiding our neighbor in need. America, for example, has the Judeo-Christian Bible as a template for it’s founding documents and is the most charitable nation on the planet ten times over. A few of the tenets of the Bible are: “Feed the hungry! Help those in trouble! Then your light will shine out from the darkness, and the darkness around you shall be as bright as day. And the Lord will guide you continually, and satisfy you with all good things, and keep you healthy too; and you will be like a well-watered garden, like an ever-flowing spring. (Isaiah 58:10-11) and “Whoever has two coats must share with anyone who has none; and whoever has food must do likewise.” (Luke 3:10-11)

Even the most casual observer who is witnessing what is occurring on the southern border of America and the southern borders of the continent of Europe, with the unprecedented flood of immigrants literally erasing the concept of borders, can see that it is these such tenets that are being unmercifully abused.

The existence of Mexico and Latin America to the south of America is nothing new. Nor is the existence of the nations of Northern Africa, such as Syria, Libya, and Sudan, being south of Europe. There has been trade and people immigrating [LEGALLY] between the countries for generations upon generations. But someone seems to have whispered in the ears of the region’s of Latin America and Northern Africa poorest poor  and  disenfranchised amongst them that they have a right to immigrate to the most prosperous nations of the West just because they are in need to do so. Rather someone is enticing them. Whether their “hardship” is due to war or drug violence, famine, or just because they want a better life for themselves and or their family, someone has told them that they now have the right to a life in the West. It is arguably not a “refugee” issue, particularly as it relates the Mexican and Latin Americans pouring into America by any means available.  It’s just a mass number of people, mostly young,  wanting a better life – in nations that so happen have generous welfare programs, like the U.S, Sweden, and Germany – being encouraged to leave their homes to be transplanted in the West.  Never mind that every western country is already under water in debt.

The mass increase in foreign young people, of different cultures, customs, and very different religions, largely unscreened for self-sustainability, health issues, and are not encouraged to assimilate into the dominate culture.  The host nation’s culture and customs are being surrendered.  This is a recipe for disaster for the host nation.

Are we to believe that all of this disruption on two continents, nearly simultaneously, is happening strictly organically, independently, and by coincidence? Really?  Then why not go to a nation of similar culture and religion that are wealthy, like Brazil, Saudi Arabia, or the UAE?  Someone is giving them marching orders with instructions on what foot lead of with, what direction to go, and what to say and do upon their arrival to destination.

As evidence of severity of the orchestrated crisis in the States.

  • In March of 2014 cnsnews.com reported the U.S had more illegal immigrants than citizens who were unemployed-approx. 12 million.
  • Onenewsnow.com on September 4,2015 reported, that illegal and illegal immigrants in
    America use more welfare benefits than those native-born citizens, as of 2012. While a 2014 report by cnsnews.com reported that nearly 35% of U.S Citizens were already on the government dole in the same year [approx. 109,631,000]
    .
  • September article in Brietbart.com, reported, “More than 90 percent of recent refugees from Middle Eastern nations are on food stamps and nearly 70 percent receive cash assistance, according to government data.” And Mr. O wants to bring an additional 70,000 this yr, to approx. a ridiculous 100,000 Syrian, i.e., the middle east, by 2017. [According to a September Bloomberg.com report.] Good thing he won’t be around that long. Hopefully!
  • A July 2014 infowars.com reported, U.N agents were handling the “refugees” at the U.S southern borders. Allowing them [gang members] to come into the U.S. The designation of refugee rather than immigrant applies international accords above national law. Isn’t it interesting that no one is any longer immigrant, but a refugee? Who was it to tell them of the that trick?

Even a couple of Congressmen have recognized the Piven trademark in the Obama Administration’s handling of the Mexican illegal immigration crisis. In a June 2014 article of WND.com, “I do feel this attempt to flood the border with illegals is a playing out of the Cloward-Piven theory,” said Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa. Rep. Steve Stockman, R-Texas, agreed that Obama – who studied the chaos strategy at Columbia, according to a classmate – “is trying to do a Cloward-Piven thing with the border.”… “they believe the flooding of America’s Southwest border with thousands of illegal-alien children seeking government handouts and citizenship is the intended outcome of policies by the Obama administration derived from a strategy by radical sociologists to transform America into a socialist state.”

Over the oceans the scene is eerily similar.

  • After decades of worry-free borders, the E.U is in a crisis due over 5-7+ thousands “migrants” pouring through the Hungarian and Austrian southern borders….daily. Reports haaretz.com September 15.
  • Dw.com reported in July, that the E.U “refugee” crisis could cost Germany alone over $11 billion by years end.
  • In a September report in Brietbart.com. “Five men have been arrested as they attempted to cross the Bulgarian-Macedonian border with decapitation videos and Islamic State propaganda on their phones.”

There is one rule in the Bible that may save the Christian nations, just as it has made America unpopular to the lazy-minded for some 200 years, before socialism became so P.C; For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: “The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat.”; “We hear that some among you are idle and disruptive. They are not busy; they are busybodies”; “Such people we command and urge in the Lord Jesus Christ to settle down and earn the food they eat.” 2 Thessalonians 3:10-12.  Americans of today, as well as the people of Christian Europe, have been given a covenant/inheritance founded on the principles of one reaping the harvest that he sows. The principles of people such as Pivens and Alinsky are of taking from the so-called “haves” and given to the “have nots”, either by depiction or by force.  Just as another famous socialist/communist, Karl Marx, who professed that one was entitled to the property/wealth of another simply due his need from those based on their ability/degree of give.  In America particularly, one is not expected to feast of a meal that has been prepared for another without earning the right to do so, or being granted permission from preparer.  Our prosperity has not come by happenstance.  But by Divine Providence and a steadfast belief in our Christian principles. Our values and principles are not to be shunned nor ashamed of.  The seeds of the field of Christendom has fed us all to become fat, lazy, and content.   The reality that today nations whose ancestry failed to prepare them a table grounded on similar principles is a harsh vision of whose principles are more lasting and superior.  But, we in America and the West who have feasted long on the meal prepared by our forefathers are in grave danger of surrendering their table and all that was placed before them due to our lack of reverence and appreciation for what we have and the knowledge of our forefathers sacrifices to bestow this extraordinary remarkable table for their posterity.  At the end the day, we chose our future and that of our nation.
