Ten Days of Socialism-Day Seven
Dionysus
(not think) it is compassionate and moral. In these ten days of Christmas we
will examine why socialism-and its compadres marxism and liberalism-are both
immoral and inhuman. Conversely, conservatism not only objectively produces
better for society, but is the moral alternative to the evil that is
socialism.
During this season of joy and wonder, ponder another glistening ornament on
the Christmas tree of political philosophy:
7. Socialism and marxism reduce our freedoms, thus leading to tyranny.
Freedom, we argue, is a legitimate end in itself�an unalienable right. This
is the foundational principle of America�s Founders. It is no less true
today than in 1782.

Merry Christmas.
No Surrender!

Well, that's hard to do, since the people with actual lighting
brains
work on lasers, holograms, and New Years day off with pay, rather
than
with idiots like Democrats. And they work on Digital Books, rather
than with
perpetual calender loons like Republicans. And they work on GPS and
Self-Replicating Machines, rather than anything that appears to be
an
AI ploy, and a tree parser.

They got away with it because sheeple were too lazy to look it up. They
are even worse now. If you are an educated voter, you quickly realize
how it is the lazy and ignorant and stupid that are the vast majority
that selects the leadership.
The only vote you have that counts is with your money, your ass, or a
U-Haul. The idea that any of you can convince anyone here, or anywhere
else of what appropriate policy should be, and that it will therefore be
enacted... is delusional.

Not if one keeps one's head...then it's harmlessly entertaining and even
somewhat self-instructing.

realize the truth. I was a poll watcher in 1998. Saw the minivans from
the rest homes deliver 'voters'. One lady was upset cause she couldnt
find Reagan's name on the ballot. I didnt like knowing that either, but
its clear why Social Security will never be cut back to what the current
generation of taxpayers can afford.
alzheimers dont make you loose the right to vote. The power elites have
always tried to expand the franchise to those who were less mentally fit
and more gullible. The Liberals have as well, but the elites own the
corporate mass media, and are better skilled at manipulation.
