   When he said that the free market has never worked, I picked up a shoe and almost threw it. Only the fact that we have a lovely new 41″ TV (thanks to the free market) prevented me from completely losing it.

   The free market has never worked????? He is obviously on drugs. And anyone who buys into this unbelivable lie is also a crack-head. That is the only explanation possible.

   Our Shining City on The Hill did not happen because of socialism!! Try picking up a history book that was written before 1960.

   This IDIOT must be defeated, and soundly!! We need a landslide, folks…no corrupt recounts!!

   Does anyone still doubt that Obama is hell bent on destroying this great nation? They don’t even try to hide their Marxist beliefs any more.

   I could tell he was a Communist even when he was trying to hide it.

   We’re 3.5 months away from the 4 year anniversary of that speech. My post is a long one, but I think the last 4 years have proven that my analysis of his speech was accurate.

   Rush is on a tear this a.m. about the speech. Tune in if you can, or check his website later. He said the speech could have been given by Chavez, Castro, or Lenin and that Obama is clearly running for re-election as a socialist. The gloves are off.

   By the way, if Obama tried very hard to hide his socialism last election because he knew he wouldn’t win, how does he think he will win this time? What is going on? I fear what they are planning.

   On February 26, 1982, Ronald Reagan said:

   Since when do we in America believe that our society is made up of two diametrically opposed classes — one rich, one poor — both in a permanent state of conflict and neither able to get ahead except at the expense of the other? Since when do we in America accept this alien and discredited theory of social and class warfare? Since when do we in America endorse the politics of envy and division?

   One more Reagan quote to add to the list that cuts The Obama off at the knees.

   He’ll win through his organization’s fraud, deceit, lies, and savage personal attacks GOP opponents.

   The GOP candidates haven’t helped much by attacking each other more than they’ve attacked Obama.

   If worse comes to worse, I’m sure setting off nationwide upheaval and disorder as a justification for suspending the election could very well be on the table as a last resort possibility if is believed workable. Would not put that past our leftist statists to get what they want.

   That is what I fear the most. Because, those right-wingers who own guns will not stand for a suspension of free elections, the basis of our democracy. If people died in Iraq to give the people free elections, we will die here for the same reason. We need our military here…now!

    Back in 2008, Michelle Malkin quoted Rev. Robert A. Sirico who said:

    Tocqueville taught us long ago the lesson we are about to re-learn, namely that a society where the moral tie is weakened and where no one accepts responsibilities and consequences for their actions will quickly morph into an authoritarian, State-centered society.

    Weakening the moral tie is called demoralization, and it is
    phase 1 of 4 on the path from Capitalism to Stalinism.

    Democratic President Harry S. Truman said something very similar:

    The most important business in this Nation–or any other nation, for that matter-is raising and training children. If those children have the proper environment at home, and educationally, very, very few of them ever turn out wrong. I don’t think we put enough stress on the necessity of implanting in the child’s mind the moral code under which we live.

    The fundamental basis of this Nation’s law was given to Moses on the Mount. The fundamental basis of our Bill of Rights comes from the teachings which we get from Exodus and St. Matthew, from Isaiah and St. Paul. I don’t think we emphasize that enough these days.

    If we don’t have the proper fundamental moral background, we will finally wind up with a totalitarian government which does not believe in rights for anybody except the state.

    -President Harry S. Truman

    And a great Republican President:

    …The basis of those ideals and principles is a commitment to freedom and personal liberty that, itself is grounded in the much deeper realization that freedom prospers only where the blessings of God are avidly sought and humbly accepted.

    The American experiment in democracy rests on this insight. Its discovery was the great triumph of our Founding Fathers, voiced by William Penn when he said:

    “If we will not be governed by God, we must be governed by tyrants.“

    Explaining the inalienable rights of men, Jefferson said,

    “The God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time.“

    And it was George Washington who said that

    “of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports.“

    And finally, that shrewdest of all observers of American democracy, Alexis de Tocqueville, put it eloquently after he had gone on a search for the secret of America’s greatness and genius — and he said:

    “Not until I went into the churches of America and heard her pulpits aflame with righteousness did I understand the greatness and the genius of America. America is good. And if America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great.“

    …

    There is sin and evil in the world, and we’re enjoined by Scripture and the Lord Jesus to oppose it with all our might.

    …

    I pointed out that, as good Marxist-Leninists, the Soviet leaders have openly and publicly declared that the only morality they recognize is that which will further their cause, which is world revolution. I think I should point out I was only quoting Lenin, their guiding spirit, who said in 1920 that they repudiate all morality that proceeds from supernatural ideas — that’s their name for religion — or ideas that are outside class conceptions. Morality is entirely subordinate to the interests of class war. And everything is moral that is necessary for the annihilation of the old, exploiting social order and for uniting the proletariat.

    Well, I think the refusal of many influential people to accept this elementary fact of Soviet doctrine illustrates a historical reluctance to see totalitarian powers for what they are. We saw this phenomenon in the 1930s. We see it too often today.

    …

    Yes, let us pray for the salvation of all of those who live in that totalitarian darkness. Pray they will discover the joy of knowing God. But until they do, let us be aware that while they preach the supremacy of the State, declare its omnipotence over individual man, and predict its eventual domination of all peoples on the earth, they are the focus of evil in the modern world.

    Who said that?

    Was it former pastor Mike Huckabee?

    No, it was former President Ronald Reagan.

    Go re-read Reagan’s speech. It’s never been more relevant than right now.

    Concentrated power has always been the enemy of liberty.
    Ronald Reagan

    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.
    Ronald Reagan

    Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves.
    Ronald Reagan

    How do you tell a communist? Well, it’s someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It’s someone who understands Marx and Lenin.
    Ronald Reagan

    To sit back hoping that someday, some way, someone will make things right is to go on feeding the crocodile, hoping he will eat you last – but eat you he will.
    Ronald Reagan

    Today, if you invent a better mousetrap, the government comes along with a better mouse.
    Ronald Reagan

    Republicans believe every day is the Fourth of July, but the democrats believe every day is April 15.
    Ronald Reagan

    The most terrifying words in the English language are: I’m from the government and I’m here to help.
    Ronald Reagan

    Can their be any doubt?

    The Founders and the Constitution they bled mightily to pass on to us places you and your creator above government, not as subservient or dependent on anyone.
    And certainly not to replace your God.

    Are we now to be forced down to a level so destitute and bereft of freedom that we must beg for the benevolent goverment’s scraps?

    No

    And another Reagan quote, from the speach quoted in my comment above:

    Yes, let us pray for the salvation of all of those who live in that totalitarian darkness. Pray they will discover the joy of knowing God. But until they do, let us be aware that while they preach the supremacy of the State, declare its omnipotence over individual man, and predict its eventual domination of all peoples on the earth, they are the focus of evil in the modern world.

    Exactly.

    The Democratic Socialist left knows the importance of education, and have been willing to wait for an entire generation to grow up under their anti-Christian brainwashing.

    Compare that to this:

    The most important business in this Nation–or any other nation, for that matter-is raising and training children. If those children have the proper environment at home, and educationally, very, very few of them ever turn out wrong. I don’t think we put enough stress on the necessity of implanting in the child’s mind the moral code under which we live.

    Today, a person saying that is called a “right-wing-nut” / “Teabagger” / etc.

    Sixty years ago, it was a Democratic President saying that.

    My how the Democratic Party has changed.

    The old democrat party is now the same as the republican party. The new democrat party is the socialist party. So, we have socialists running against democrats posing as republicans. Phil is right in that assessment. The only thing I disagree with is allowing Obama to win this election by voting third party. We have to get that creature out of our HOUSE, then spend the next four years reforming the republican party. Three parties will not work unless we change the electoral system.

    I guess to O’Really?, a “real” socialist has unaccountable czars running things, unilateraly stops enforcing laws he doesn’t like, makes new ones he does like with Executive orders, oh, wait, he must mean the kind with goon squads and corrupt gun-running and money laundering, ummmm, never mind….

    Many people still voting Democrat don’t know that the party has been taken over by communists. The party represent the hard left. The GOP hierarchy wants to appeal to the Democrat voters and represents a halfway to socialist/middle of the road/split the difference/compromise the country away/don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater(they use this to encourage nose-holding) type of approach that only aims to slow the transition.

    40% of the country self identifies as conservative. They are not represented. There’s your new party, one of the others will die.

    I’m done accepting those excuses. This isn’t 1995 where CNN is having families go on the air and try make Newt look like a big tubby cigar-smoking meanie like some 1800′s monopolizer.

    Conservatives and libertarians and TEA PARTY dominate radio, and with the internet, FOX and alternative media, I’m not going to listen to some farmer from Ohio or Minnesota tell me they need to vote for Al Franken or Sherrod Brown because they are old and think it’s JFK all over again when the real reason are $$$$ from Uncle Sam and Nanny Fed.

    Why should they be? You have all these parents making excuses for their kids coming home at Thanksgiving reciting Marx or crapping on a downtown sidewalk at occupy X and saying “they don’t have the time” but they sure as hell have time for the latest ABC/NBC/PBS/CBS prime-time and Sunday football as the media outlets try and squeeze in as much “progressivism isn’t so bad” feel-good commercials.

    Just look at WI and Ohio—-they voted in Walker and Kasich to fix the budget, but hell hath surely come if they can’t look good at their PTA meetings!

    And you wonder why how we get RINOS elected?
