WHY?

Why did/do Communist countries seal their border to keep their own people in? If Communism is as great as the Liberals in the West claim, why are communists ready to kill their own people, to prevent them from leaving? Mexico and other non-Communist poor countries assist their unemployed or criminal citizens in leaving, to remove the economic burden of those people from the govt. operating budgets, and I can understand that, it makes sense, but how do you explain the tendency of Liberals/Leftists/Socialists/Communist/Democrats to force others to accept their beliefs and/or policies, even if they themselves don't actually practice what they preach? If their ways are so good, and so effective, shouldn't they simply embrace them, knowing that others will come to see how right they were, and in turn embrace them willingly? Taxes, public schools, union shops, public medicine, "clean/green energy", redistribution of wealth, you name it, they want the govt. to impose them all on the population, but they themselves don't just lead by example. Joe Blow's auto body shop can be shut down, or regulated out of profitability, in the name of "clean air", but Hollywood, whose product requires countless amounts of energy/pollution to deliver is overlooked. Why? Is it because Hollywood largely embraces the Left? I can't modify the exhaust on my Harley, but Gore, Bono and Oprah can dump tons of carbon and decibels into the atmosphere, and that's all cool with Sacramento and DC? WTF?

LOSING WALTER CRONKITE

So, did the old commie leave all of his money to the IRS? I think we should set a cap on earnings at $500K per year, and then confiscate all trusts and endowments, and all bank accounts deemed "excessive", and all property and securities that are deemed excessive, and use use them to pay for Obama's Health Plan, and his Cap and Trade Plan, and all the other "Fairness" policies he can dream up. Of course, that would mean all those Hollywood bigwigs, and all the Ivy League schools, and all the liberal "philanthropic trusts" would be forced to live like us peasants. Yep, I think we should even the playing field, and make everyone equal.

OBAMA AND THE LEFT

When you see and hear liberals scoff at being called socialists, communists or Marxists, stop to consider the policies they pursue, think about the old adage, about something that quacks like a duck, and swims like a duck, and looks like a duck, being a duck, and remember these words.
Charles Baudelaire (1821-1867) wrote, “The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he doesn’t exist.”

NEWSFLASH!

Here's a shocker [NOT!] Obama is upset about Honduras ousting a Leftist leader. Good thing he's pulling our troops out of Iraq, so he and Hugo can use them to install Marxist governments throughout the Americas. Don't hand me that "Right-wingers always play the "Marxist" card!". Look at Obama's eyes, and then check-out Chavez' eyes, and then Castro's eyes. That ain't George Washington in there, Baby, it's Josef Stalin.

Obama's National Health Plan

So, let me ask all you a question. When you have to deal with a government agency, do you feel like the people there are your "servants"? Are you in charge? Are they to do your bidding? How would you rate the value you are receiving? If you got "bad service", do you call for a manager and raise hell until they make things right? If they injure you, can you find an attorney, and get compensated for that injury? Is the "customer always right" part of their institutional culture?
Now, apply your answers to how you want your health care handled. Are the American people stupid, or suicidal?
