Socialism: The Rest of The Story

Does not history tell us that Socialism is a failed political and economic system? Why? Because Socialism and all that accompanies it is a flawed system based on unsound principles that aren’t consistent with human behavior and can’t nurture the human spirit. A stagnate Cuban economy and the rapid demise of socialist Venezuela has apparently had little impact on younger Americans who think the U.S. government is a large ATM and all they need do is insert a card and money will slide out. Truth is, all these outcomes we see in Cuba and Venezuela are likely if Socialism were to replace Capitalism as our economic and political system. No if, ands, or buts about it. In both Cuba and Venezuela, the status quo is unsustainable, earning potential is limited, property rights but for a few are nonexistent, personal motivation is but abstract, national healthcare is lacking, taxes high and people are hungry, worse yet, some are starving. 

Polls and research indicate one of the top issues for Millennials and Generation Z is the national debt, rapidly approaching 25 trillion. Question? Have these same young people considered that socialist programs will significantly add to the debt? Apparently not, because to them, it seems that feelings are more important than observable results. 

Socialist policies, in one form or another, are part of the platforms of some of the announced Democratic presidential candidates. America’s new Democrat Socialists beat a hasty retreat from historic truth when confronted with historical indisputable facts as it pertains to Socialism’s failings.  Is the concept, we can’t afford it, an economic mantra accepted and taught to children/young adults by Leftist leaning elitists/academia? No! For the most part Millennials and Generation Z persons are less likely to accept as true, that one must live within one’s means. 

Woe to America, if the younger generation were to be the difference in electing Ocasio or Sanders or Pocahontas or any other number of self-proclaimed socialists to this nation’s House of Representatives, its Senate or its highest office. Ronald Reagan said: “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.” 

Will this be the generation that fulfills his prophecy? Much is riding on the next election. It’s so important to preserve America’s Constitutional Republic, and make sure citizens understand that we need to preserve it. Remember this: Socialism is a mild word for what it is. It’s a form of extremism and government control that will take over our lives.

Socialism is a Direct Threat to America

One of the societal maladies produced by what passes for today’s American Public and Post-Secondary Education systems, is the unawareness or ignorance some young people, specifically Generation Y or millennials and Gen Z, have about socialism. This ignorance is a direct threat to the future of our Republic. For young people who weren’t alive during the geopolitical tension between the Soviet Union and the United States and the revulsions that came from Socialism and its wicked cousin Communism, the notion that they can get free stuff from the government is compelling, one might rightly conclude addictive. Excluding Uniformed Service Members, most young people today have sacrificed little for America. Too many of the Y and Z Generation adults have bought into the idea that White wealthy Americans, conglomerate, and big corporations are malevolent because they have pilfered money from others, to include the underprivileged, minorities of color, the disenfranchised and essentially those unable to rub two pennies together. The rest of the story in detail will follow in my next post.

Today's Reality of Sociopolitical Abortion Part 2 of 2

America seems to no longer follow the fundamental logic by which things were probable, or so it appears. Appalling things, like New York's abortion law are now deemed fitting for the public. The liberal and degenerate of society extols the mass murder of babies that the system calls "abortion" or "freedom of choice." 

Short of combat on the battlefield, no one should have the right to kill a human except in self-defense. Even if the human is only 8 months and 29 days old. Regardless to one's affiliation or how our country's leadership (executive, judicial & legislative) chooses to paint the portrait, third trimester termination of a fetus, a child, a human life is murder. 

Is it not interesting how both the Third Reich’s National Socialist German Workers Party (Nazis), and America’s Radical Progressive/Socialist Left’s behavior towards an innocent and defenseless subset of humanity is reminiscent of each other? Did not both political organizations dispatch millions of innocent beings who they deemed undesirable or inconvenient? The only non-common denominator is one group has paid in full for their transgressions, the other’s recompense will be doled out at a future date, determined by Jehovah-God. 

Sorry Democrat Party, Kamala Harris, Chuck Schumer, Ocasio-Cortez, Nancy Pelosi, Elizabeth Warren, Gov. Cuomo, Gov. Northam, Planned Parenthood, Et al. I contend there is little difference between your championing abortion on demand than Hitler, Himmler, Heydrich, Eichmann, Goring, Goebbels, and the Third Reich being proponents for the extermination of all European Jews and others deemed conveniently expendable. Have I crossed the socio-political line in what I say? I think not.  If I have, so be it. Facts are facts. With few exceptions, does not today’s Democratic Progressive Left like their Nazi party counterparts promote the liquidation of a human subset?  

Does not a culture of death deny the sanctity, dignity, and personal humanity of the unborn? Are not all human beings persons? If a person is a being, such as a human, can we not conclude that as a being, he/she has certain capacities or attributes consisting of personhood? This being so, why is there a godless mindset that draws an arbitrary distinction between what it means to be human and a person? Pro-abortionist zealots wrongfully claim the unborn is not a person, and therefore conclude abortion is moral. In their pride, they elevate their personal worth above the unborn. They deny the very essence of humanity they also held when they were born. 

As for me, I will not allow the godless acts of others to keep me from fighting for righteousness. I challenge all persons to rise-up and defend the defenseless from being put to death. Why not work together to build a culture that cherishes innocent life. And let us affirm a fundamental truth: All children born are made in the image of God, born or unborn. The only way to defend the dignity of every person is to prohibit the abortion of children who can feel pain in the mother’s womb. 

The Democrat progressive wing and their secular socialist Left have drawn the battle lines. If America is to survive the secularist’s onslaught we must put on the Armor of God, raise His standard and fight the good fight? For America’s sake, I pray we win the day.

Today's Reality of Sociopolitical Abortion Right's Culture of Death Part 1 of 2

There’re additional terms for “Partial Term” and “Late Term” abortion: infanticide, maternal filicide and murder. And it is morally repugnant, indefensible and wicked. Contrary to Andrew Cuomo’s declaration that late term abortion is “a historic victory for…our progressive values…” The opposite is true. This shameless embrace of a culture of death is astonishing to every American who cherishes life. Not too long ago, the Democratic party’s stated position was that abortion should be “safe, legal, and rare.” It was this widespread rejection of late-term abortion that led a bipartisan majority in Congress to pass the partial-birth-abortion ban in 2003. Pitilessly, how far left the Democratic party’s pendulum has swung. 

To support, let alone cheer, late-term abortions not only marks a disturbing step backward by self-styled “progressives”, it also encroaches upon every demand of human decency. As modern science has moved the point of viability ever earlier in pregnancy, most Americans have agreed that a child who can survive outside the womb deserves a chance at life. Although the beginning of humanhood may be controversial, why cannot the progressive left and the sociopolitical abortion rights movement accept the scientific answer regarding the beginning of human personhood? The widely accepted scientific answer: Human life begins at the time of conception. This being so, anyone with an open mind must conclude that human life is present throughout the entire sequence from conception to adulthood and that any point throughout this time constitutes a termination of human life. One can only assume those sociopolitical abortion proponents are selectively blind to the truth or ignore the pain and suffering an aborted fetus, terminated baby or abandoned newborn. Or, simply don’t give a damn. 

To say I find the current political debate over abortion deeply troubling, including the decision by some Democrats to block a bill, from passing unanimously, called the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act is an understatement. The mentioned act would require that babies born alive after a botched abortion procedure be treated no differently by doctors than any other newborn.  Imagine, we are debating whether it is ethical to strangle a child, for the mother and the physician or clinician to have a conversation while keeping the newborn comfortable, all the while considering if they want to destroy it or no. Really, we’re having a bioethical debate about what amounts to infanticide? In America, are not all of us created equal? If that equality means anything, surely it means that infanticide is wrong. Forthrightly, this shouldn’t be hard. Then again, today’s Democrats seem to be all right with taking the life of a breathing, heart beating and pain feeling human life. Are you?
