Slouching Towards Socialism

That's Where We're Heading

Published on June 24, 2009 By KFC Kickin For Christ In Politics

I came across this quote the other day in my reading. It was written by Thomas Macauley, a British Parliamentarian who wrote these words concerning the United States in 1857:

"Your Republic will be as fearfully plundered and laid waste by barbarians in the 20th century as the Roman Empire was in the 5th Century, with this difference-the Huns and Vandals who ravaged the Roman Empire came from without and your Huns and Vandals will have been engendered within your own country."

Is that what we are witnessing today in our own country morally, politically and economically? Are we becoming less dominant while other nations are gaining influence? It seems that way to me and others as well.

Time Magazine ran an article in April titled "Is the Almighty Dollar Doomed?" The article went on to prove that the growing consensus that the days of the dollar reserve system are numbered. And by looking at what Obama's doing with the auto, banking and healthcare systems he's helping this along at a very alarming rate. British Prime Minister Gordon Brown said that the days of the U.S. primacy are gone and that "global problems require global solutions."

Many of us screamed during the campaign last fall that Obama wasn't interested at all in the United States as is. That's what all this change talk was about. He's all about change and we're seeing that on a daily basis, but are we ready for this? Where's our say? He's not interested in the U.S. as a world power. He's interested in the U.S. becoming part of a European Union. He's interested in globalism, not nationalism.

I heard Obama is going to France on July 4th. Let's see if that's true. Will he really go to Europe instead of celebrating the birthday of this country for the first time as President of it? That speaks volumes to me.

Stock has been dropping, businesses are failing, national debt is staggering, major financial institutions have been nationalized and we're heading right straight into Socialism. Newsweek came out with an article in February entitled "We Are All Socialists Now." Included in that same magazine was another article "Big Government is Back-Big Time."

Scary. This week's paper here ran an AP article about Obama's wish for more bank controls as he's ready to roll out an overhaul of the "intricate rules and systems that govern America's troubled financial institutions, proposing the most ambitious revision since the Great Depression."

Thomas Jefferson's words are not being heeded. He said:

"A government big enough to give you everything you want is strong enough to take everything you have."

And that's exactly where this is all headed. Think about that when you listen to Obama sell his health insurance plan tonight.

I, for one, am going to bed early.

I'll be honest and say that when it comes to Globalism, I am not too much in disagreement with that Idea. I mean, we can't continue to go about claiming we are all human beings of the same planet whiel at the same time continue to separate ourselves by borders and laws. I believe it's time we extend our concept of United States to a United World. Of course I take into consideration that there will be plenty of countries out there who are not ready to become part of a single race community, the human race, but we have to start somewhere. It's a shame that those we call allies are, in many cases, nothing more than countries who might back us up if we need them but who require of us as much security checking and authorization when visiting their countries as we require from them. How is it possible that human revolution has yet to reach a point of trust and honor when we can't even trust or depend on those who call themselves our allies but we do not refer to them as friends? And I'm not talking about bowing down to every countries whim so that they can like us again like Obama does, I mean forming real relationships, breaking the barrier that separate us, seeing each other as fellow humans and not as outsiders. I think we have spent too much time isolating ourselves and we need to break these barriers if we are to overcome all the problems that plague this world such as hunger, poverty, hate and distrust.

I, however, refuse to sacrifice all that we have achieved, that we have worked so hard for, our economy, our pride, our position in this world and become a puppet to the rest of the community in the process. I guess I am just asking for too much.

Obama is not leading us towards a union with the rest of the world, he is leading us towards disaster and in the end we won't need to make a united ocnnection with the rest of the world because we will end up own by them.

This is in line with the new world order which has been predicted way before Christ was born. It's coming but it's not going to be the utopia that you think.

I don't think we, the little people, have much say in the matter. It's becoming more and more evident. Sort of like what's going on in Iran. Why bother voting when it doesn't really matter anyhow?

Well that's the way it's looking isn't it? I've been saying for some time that something has to happen to us to get us out of the way of Israel. We are basically what's stopping the world from going in and tearing Israel into shreds. Something has to either disable or dismantle us to get the ball rolling. Maybe that's Obama's whole part in all this. So far, it's looking like he's acheiving the objective.

How can we do this on a global level when we can't even do it in our own country? If we could do it in our own country, this...:

I don't think we, the little people, have much say in the matter.

... wouldn't be an issue because we would be able to put aside our hatred of "THE OTHER SIDE," and join together to ensure that are rights and freedoms in this country weren't lost. We as a people united would have a voice against our increasingly corrupt government. (Which to AGAIN clarify for all those that haven't read my other posts, is the corruption of BOTH parties, not just the one that you are against...)
