American liberals are getting increasingly
frustrated with the use of the term “democratic socialism.” But I’m getting
increasingly fed up with the improper use of the term “liberal.” John McCain is
a liberal. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, like all modern Democrats, are
something quite different.
For the record, the term “liberal” originally
referred to people like Thomas Jefferson, indicating their undying reverence for
“individual liberty” and “personal freedom” above all other notions and their
opposition to government power.
People who believe in empowering government
to strip liberty and freedom from individuals in the name of some greater common good are not “liberals,”
they are in fact “socialists.” And if they use democratic processes, the “will
of the people,” to achieve a state of socialism, they are “Democratic
Socialists.”
Those who still deny or seek to conceal the
reality of Democratic Socialism in
America must
study the Democratic Socialists of
America organization, its policy initiatives and member rolls, and how many
members they already have seated in powerful congressional offices via the
Democrat Party.
Now that I’ve covered that reality, I want to
address the subject of who is behind this movement, who is spending BIG money in
American politics to purchase Democratic Socialism in America, who is the
anti-American Fifth Column operating within.
The Best Funded Movement in
America
Today
According to the leftist press, fat cat
corporate, capitalist Republicans control
WashingtonDC
through demonic “lobbyists” who spend millions buying Republicans so that greedy
profit driven corporations can keep their boot on the neck of the average
American. Sounds like something Karl Marx or Vladimir Lenin might sell, doesn’t
it? But the hard facts, which are largely invisible in the mainstream media, say
something quite different, just in case you are impressed by facts.
Most Americans still believe in the founding
principles of freedom and liberty, or so I choose to believe, and they can’t
figure out how their nation is being hijacked from them by a minority who openly
desire socialism.
The answer is simple – when good men do nothing, evil
prevails.
Evil is always on the move. Today, evil is
taking control of
America via
Democratic Socialism and too few Americans are taking a stand against it.
For more than seventy years now, Americans
get up every morning with fewer personal freedoms and liberties than they had
the day before. Freedoms and liberties, stripped from individuals by both
legislative and judicial process, all of which is quite “democratic” of
course.
To illustrate just how uneven this fight is
in America
today, consider these numbers.
Between 1989 and 2008, more than $635
million dollars were invested by the top 25
U.S. political
institutional investors to buy political favor in
WashingtonD.C. Over $459 million, or 72% of that money
was spent buying Democrats, not Republicans, who received a little more than
$175 million or 28% of those funds during the same period. Just the top 25 donor
organizations are represented in these numbers.
Countless organizations invest in American
political power, as do many international organizations, for billions of
dollars. Here’s a list of the TOP 25
institutional political investors from 1989-2008, how much they have
invested and who they purchased with those dollars.
As you can see, 15 of the Top 25 give almost exclusively to
the Democratic Socialist movement. The following 9 have given 61% to Republicans
and 39% to Democrats.
Citigroup is
ranked number 13 of the 25 and they give evenly to both parties.
When we look at the Top 25 combined, we find
that they have invested 72% or more than $459 million in Democratic Socialism
while opposition Republicans received only 28% or $175 million during the same
period. He with the gold makes the
rules!
Of course, these numbers do not reflect 527
or PAC contributions which are equally tilted in favor of Democratic Socialism.
There is no getting around the fact that more than 70% of all institutional
campaign funding is going to Democratic Socialists who keep
America’s march
into socialism on track.
Campaign finance laws place limits on how
much any average American can invest in the future of their nation. But no such
limits exist for labor unions, corporations, international socialists or
PAC’s.
In case you are wondering, the Top 20 PAC’s
also tilt 70.5% for Democratic Socialism and 29.5% for Republicans in the 2008
election cycle. 527 organizations tilt even more to the left.
He
with the gold gets to make the rules! Research who is getting the gold here…
The “Will of the People”
The “will of the people” is a double edged
sword that cuts both ways. As Thomas Jefferson warned, “A democracy is nothing more than mob rule,
where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other
forty-nine.” This is exactly what is happening today.
Pure democracy is as dangerous as pure
dictatorship in that both allow a few to rule over the many in the name of some
abstract greater common good. The
only true test of freedom is individual liberty. When individual liberty is
taken by force, under the guise of some greater common good, freedom is
essentially dead.
The fact that it is by democratic process is no consolation. No
matter the process, freedom is still extinguished. Is this the true will of the American majority today? I
hope not…
The People’s Voice
There is NO limit to how much money
institutional political investors can spend to buy their political goals by
democratic process. But even these powerbrokers have only one vote for one man,
though they do use hook and crook to influence the votes of others, especially
in the labor movement.
“The people” have TWO voices. Like
institutional investors, their money is one voice. Their individual vote is
their other voice, and believe it or not, the more powerful of the two. As
demonstrated here, institutional money favors Democrats who will keep
Americaprogressing towards total Socialism by
democratic process.
Both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are indeed Democratic
Socialists and you only have to be able to comprehend their campaign promises
and past policy positions to know this. Democratic Socialism is the progress they have in mind, because all
socialist dictators must have a government dependent electorate in order to
retain political power. This explains why all the money behind Democratic
Socialism is invested in today’s democrat candidates.
The
people are not keeping up, out-spent 3 to 1 by investors pursuing socialism,
at odds with the American majority. This leaves the people with only one voice;
one means of defeating Democratic Socialism and that voice is powerful enough to
do the job, if the people use it in the voting
booth.
No matter how much money is spent to force
America in the
wrong direction, the American voter has the power to block those efforts with
their vote. So long as a majority of active voters use that voice for this
purpose, no amount of money from the left will be enough to over-rule the real
will of the people. But when good men do nothing, evil will
certainly prevail.
The Battle Lines - the
Issues
Americans fight to protect the “unalienable”
civil rights of the innocent child
and refuse to make murder a mother’s civil right. But Democratic Socialists are
only concerned that mothers have the civil right to murder their young.
Why?
Americans fight to protect the 2nd
Amendment rights of every innocent American citizen. But Democratic Socialists
seek to protect only the civil rights of the criminals by taking guns away from
law abiding citizens and charging manufacturers for the crimes committed by
others. Why?
Americans fight for their right to define and
pursue individual happiness through the economic freedom to retain a maximum
amount of their hard-earned property. But Democratic Socialists seek to strip
productive members of society of their rightful earnings in order to fund the
many needs of the non-productive members of society, which happens to be the
voting bloc that keeps Democratic Socialists in power.
The examples are endless and every issue is
in play. The battle lines are visible in the issues. We know every socialist by
which side he or she stands on.
The issues are tools used to divide the
American electorate into two groups, those who love, protect and seek to
preserve our founding principles of freedom and individual liberty, - and those
who seek to replace your individual freedom and liberty by force with their
definition of a greater common
good.
Every election is about the struggle between these two
opposing ideals.
In the 2008 Presidential election, John
McCain is conservative on about 65% of the issues and somewhat liberal on the
other 35%. The 2008 race is void of any true conservative candidate.
But both Obama and Clinton are pure 1000%
Democratic Socialists. The institutional investors in Democratic Socialism spend
three times more to pursue that agenda than opposition forces spend to protect
individual freedom and liberty.
If the people don’t use their voice to stop
it in the election booth, it can’t be stopped.
If you need more reason than this to show up
at the voting booth this fall, you will be written into history as the
generation that stood silent and did nothing in the face of progressive federal tyranny.
Where are all those rich Republican capitalists when we need them? How are
we being out-funded by socialists?
All politicians are for sale - all can and
will be bought - and all political agendas cost money.
Democratic Socialism is being purchased for
America at a
rate of more than 3 to 1 over individual freedom and liberty. 50% of registered
voters have not voted in years and divided American conservatives are no match
for a united Democratic Socialist front.
I still believe that most Americans oppose
Socialism, even in Democratic form. But if they don’t start using both voices to
defeat it now, they will soon have no power to stop it.
November 2008 may mark the point of no
return. If Democrat Socialists control all three branches of the federal
government, I have no doubts about that… Do you?
