Diversity in Suspense
Physician-assisted suspense. Wal-Mart disses American history. What's so great about 1973? Once in love with Sarah. Plus more.
(Page 3 of 3)
Liberalism, being the junior version of Socialism exists only because some Marists like their comforts more than others and have less of the spinal fortitude to put themselves at personal risk to accomplish their ultimate goals. Nothing new there. Cowards got to live somewhere.
At the end of the day, regardless of which one of Marx's devilish flavors you chose, including the various forms of Fascism thrown in for spice, all roads end at the same place. At the most basic level, Marx's ideas destroy Human dignity, self worth, individuality and any motivation to strive beyond the normality of the herd-like existence. The lowest common denominator sets the standards of society at large. California comes to mind for some reason. There is nothing at all uplifting about Marx and like all collectives, the faceless masses that serve the hive never ever see the rewards promised by the Princes and Princesses at the top of the Bee Hive. In effect, Marx delivers what the followers of Marx rail against, equal misery for the 97% that compose the drones and unlimited power and comfort for the self-appointed 3% that make up the intellectual nitwits at the top of the hive. Lenin and Stalin weren't the sharpest tools in the shed but they were ruthless enough to make up for that short coming.
So to all those that proudly call themselves "liberal" keep dreaming that Marx Lite (Obama's current flavor of choice) is somehow separate and distinct from Marx Heavy. But to Marx, all flavors of socialism are a means to the same end. Make no mistake, the forces of Marx's and similar collectives and the forces of individual freedom and dignity are on a collision course that isn't going to be resolved at the ballot box. Fools believe otherwise but Angels know better than to trust a fool.
Liberalism and all the misery it has spread throughout the land have both a fiscal and human cost. The bill's coming due on 70+ years of fiscal Liberal buffoonery. The Human cost won't be far behind. Every attempt at perfecting the human condition has resulted in the use of force and the consequences that brings. Won't be any different here.
The following quote is right out of the play book of Liberal Democrats, central to Marx's grand plan to bring down Capitalism, practiced by every Marxist regime on the planet and written by a man that lived well before Christ:
"Break the will of enemy to fight, and you accomplish the true objective of war. Cover with ridicule the enemy's traditions. Exploit and aggravate the inherent frictions within the enemy country. Agitate the young against the old. Prevail if possible without armed conflict. The Supreme excellence is not to win a hundred victories in a hundred battles. The supreme excellence is to defeat the armies of your enemies without every having to fight them." -- Sun Tzu.
Liberalism as personified by Obama is Marx underneath and a thin
layer of ice cream on top. Nothing more and certainly nothing
less.

Bravo! Mr. Kessel and Mr. Bateman, terrific observations. Exceptional thinking, as usual.

Mr. Beauchamp - Reading your letter caused me to wonder how Steve McNair is feeling about the value of marital fidelity this morning.

Thank you Mr. Bateman.
solid thought.
The one thing that might...just might prevent "the use of force". That one thing is that the "productive people" sooner or later will be gathered on one side of the battle lines.
Just maybe we can starve the bastards out.

Henry Kissinger is a European import along the lines of the Yugo. Cheap junk.

Old Texan, typically starving people tend to become desperate and resort to intimidation, then threats and ultimately violence to get what they will not produce for themselves.
The usual course of events when a civilized society abandons reason and begins to dissolve into MOB rule is that the productive side of the equation adapts to the declining prosperity and survives at a reduced level while the unproductive side of the equation grows in number and becomes desperate and does the same thing starving people do. If this course of events goes on long enough it spins out of control.
I’m a big fan of General Savage’s statement on war, “there are no winners in war, only bigger losers” thus it is something to be avoided at all practical costs. The flip side is of course if you value Liberty as recognized by our Founders and their Republican form of government you must also be prepared to defend it with your life. No middle ground there and flapping lips is not defending anything.
This Nation survived the Great Depression and the fiscal buffoonery of that era because the bulk of this Nation’s population at that time believed in the American ideals put forth by our Founders. Today, the bulk of our population believe and rationalize that robbing Peter to buy Paul’s vote is both a moral thing to do and a form of social justice too. That concept and many others aren’t compatible with the American ideal and the two will part company sooner or later by means that add weight to General Savage’s point.
At some point the Frog has got to grow a pair and take care of business.

Thom, I agree with you about the frog growing a pair but I don't think most Americans support wealth redistribution--not yet.
I think we still can take our country back--especially when 40% of Americans consider themselves conservative. We'd better get moving.

Kessel and Bateman score once again! Great letters, gentlemen.
