Take socialism. In what country is that working? What great economic and innovative country is socialist?! Yes, yes, Canada is lovely. But face it, any military force at any time could have them for lunch. Canada isn’t the land of innovation either. Otherwise, they wouldn’t all be coming to America, would they? How many people who live and work in America, were actually born in Canada? You’d be surprised. Why do they leave? Because socialism is so awesome so they thought they would just slum around with capitalists? Doubtful.
Socialist France. I think I’ve made my point here. The have won one war, it took them 100 years. And if my history is correct, the English were like, “Yea, whatever, we have better more interesting things to do now.” France is thriving so well, they only work 30 hours a week now…. wow! So their newest innovation is what? Laziness? They can’t even claim fashion anymore!! Italy stole it from them for crying out loud. Probably during that 10 hours a week they should have been at work! But hey, the government will take care of all of them right? Like Greece is taking care of all of its citizens? By the way, Greece is socialist too, if you didn’t know. To catch you up on world events... Greece is currently bankrupt.
Americans are capitalist, minus the “pig”, thank you. Maybe socialists are just pissed we figured it out. And don’t get me started on communism. I’ll just direct you to the FORMER Soviet Union for now. I’d also like to make the point that socialism and communism are about 5 degrees apart. But don’t take my word on it, read about Vladimir Lenin.
Which brings me to my next point, Americans have turned into sheep. The television gives you your information and you with undying trust take it at face value. Why? You trust the TV but not politicians? You trust marketers too? The best way to find the truth is to discover it on your own. Read. Read, America! Pick. Up. A. Book! For crying out loud, Google something! Try “Vladimir Lenin”. You don’t even have to read all of it. Just get the sense of it. Read until you ask yourself, “What’s the difference between my current form of government and the one Vladimir Lenin wanted?”. Then ask yourself, “Am I ok with the answer I find?”.
If you do the above, congratulations to you! You’ve just become a bona-fide American. You’ve questioned the powers-that-be because you can! It’s your right as an American. Millions have died so that I can right this blog, write it uncensored, and encourage you to question our government.
Did you know in Muslim countries everything from email to blogs to social networking is monitored by the government? Did you know Bibles are shred and crucifixes are destroyed if discovered on Muslim soil? Even if you are in the airport, a customs agent will take a Bible from a nun, and shred it.
The Former Soviet Union use to be just as scary. The KGB isn’t a myth, that was real. Soviets lived in fear for opening their mouth against the government even though they were all starving. You had better not have griped about it. Ironically in America, you can make sexual parodies about political figures.
You know why we don’t live that way? WE ARE AMERICANS! Our forefathers, male and female, black and white and everything in between, all had something in common. We were the type that didn’t take crap off of those in power, or anybody else for that matter. It’s how our parents or ancestors got here, or why they stayed once they did. NOBODY tells us how to think, how to feel, where to go, what to do, how to vote or whether we can vote. I have a Bill of Rights that says I can do a multitude of things, and baby, I plan to do ALL of them!
Know this though. As an American, you have a responsiblity to understand how your government works. WHO makes the laws and changes them later when you aren’t paying attention.
Never forget your history. The Roman Empire fell. The Egyptian Empire fell. The great Chinese Dynasties came to an end…. and communism replaced it. Our way of life is always in jeopardy and we are not invincible. We could fall like those before us if we remain complacent, uninformed sheep. Unless of course, you like being a sheep. But then you wouldn't be an American.
