It must be really bad when the Treason Times puts out an article entitled “Europe’s Socialists Suffering Even in Downturn”. In their worst performance in Germany since the 1940’s, the socialist party got just 23% of the vote. Could it be that the idiot electorate is finally beginning to realize that the Great Recession of today was caused by socialist policies including excessive taxation, regulation and nanny state oversight?
Even in nanny state France, the breadbasket of euro-weenies, the direction of the country is moving to the right. Ditto for England, Italy and Spain and eventually right here in the United States. I have to admit it is an uphill battle, as those of us with common sense are constantly having to fight the lies of the mainstream media and Hollywood elite. It’s not possible to hold a conversation based on fact and logic with liberals, because liberals are inherently illogical and more often than not suffer from Bush Derangement Syndrome.
Perhaps things are about to change, and not the kind of change that bankrupts our nation for generations to come. Even the left most polls are showing that Obama’s popularity is now below 50%. Consider that the likes of AP typically poll Democrats at a rate of about 2 to 1. They also skew their polling to places like California, New York and Kenya where Obama remains popular.
In zip codes where people work for a living, Obama’s popularity is below 30%. The popularity of Congress is even lower, hovering in the teens. Watching the evening news one would not think that this administration was doing anything wrong. The likes of CNN and the alphabet networks do everything in their power to sugarcoat any publicity that may be bad for Obama and the liberal/socialist agenda. They have to; after all he was their creation, manufactured like a 21st century version of Weird Science.
The truth is that socialism has been withering on the vine since its inception. It was a failure in the U.S.S.R. and across Europe. It has failed in Cuba, Venezuela and North Korea. Even in China, the socialist leaders have adopted capitalist principles. So what’s the liberal answer? How about having Michael Moore create an anti-capitalist movie which will be nothing more than the latest sequel in his science fiction series.
Socialism will always fail because you cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You can’t effectively take from the producers and give the entitlement class without causing a revolution, which is where we are headed. Hopefully this will go no further than the ballot box, but liberals throughout history and across the globe are notorious for rigging elections to retain power, so who knows what will ultimately occur. Will America become a banana republic reminiscent of Nicaragua and Chicago, or will sanity prevail with liberals being cast aside.
What we do know is that the people who matter in America, the producers of goods and services, are not happy. These are the very small business owners being punished by the Obama agenda of tax increases who in turn are forced to lay off employees. These are the people who buy durable goods, but no longer can afford them. Ultimately something has to give, and apparently the Washington establishment doesn’t appear willing to discuss steps that we can take to fix what they have broken.
Stay tuned, because the next year could get very interesting if liberals don’t wake up to rising sentiment of anger amongst real Americans.
