When someone is dying from hypothermia or suffocation they often turn blue as the body pools blood to the critical organs in an attempt to preserve vital functions.
So it seems appropriate that the states and cities around the country that are in the worst condition are in areas identified as “Blue States.”
There is a lot of anger out there on the left; anger among the 20% of the population that consider themselves “liberal/progressive.” There are many reasons for their anger but I think the most prominent is their recent realization, and dismay, that liberalism doesn’t work. Their political philosophy of so-called compassion, governed by rules of political correctness, developed and imposed on the other 80% of the population is doomed to failure. And they now know it.
For over a generation this 20% was sure that if they only had control of all parts of government it would all work the way they envisioned in their youth (Queue up imagination by John Lennon).
They weren't very happy back then either
The people now running the country originally congregated in the universities during the late sixties and from there went on to populate academia and K-12 education, where they could insure that future generations were taught the progressive agenda.
They populated the judicial system so, as government lawyers and judges, they could interpret the laws and constitution in the progressive method. A method where they, using their superior intelligence, could decide what is fair. Never mind what the law actually says.
They moved into politics proclaiming their concern and care for the little people. Of course they would never say little people but they believe it just the same. And this is why they prefer to take away your freedoms; because deep down they don’t trust you to make the right choices.
The latest example is the liberal group Center for Science in the Public Interest threatening to sue McDonald’s over their inclusion of toys in their Happy Meals. The group equates the McDonald’s giving out toys to pedophiles giving candy to kids in a park. If they could they would probably take the kids away from parents who dare to take their kids to McDonald’s because they obviously aren’t able to make wise choices. The First Lady, Michelle Obama, continues to tell us what our kids should be eating at every appearance she makes. Or so it seems. And if we don’t get the message, they will just tax all the bad stuff until we get the message. This week they announced that they federal government is going to require your doctor to report your obesity index by 2014. (If you doubt any of this, just check out the links throughout this post.)
What business is it of theirs what you eat. Well of course, none. But this is just the latest example that not only exposes their bullying tactics but reveals their underlying belief system. The belief that they are smarter than you. I’ll say it again; they believe they are smarter then you. They believe you can’t be trusted to make your own decisions. This is what we call elitism. Never mind that everything they touch turns to dust.
Here is the condition of things they have controlled for many years:
- Detroit/Flint Michigan (bulldozing 40 square miles of empty homes)
- Union Pensions (look to taxpayers for a $165 billion bailout)
- DC Schools (successful voucher program killed to protect worst school system in the country)
- Black Community – The Black community votes 90+ percent Democrat “the studies have been done showing that in fact, most black children were raised in two parent families even under slavery itself — in fact, all the way through, until the middle of the twentieth century. So, I think there’s no greater indictment of the welfare state than the fact that the black family held together through centuries of slavery and discrimination, but fell apart in the liberal welfare state.” ~ Thomas Sowell
- California State (The results of a tax and spend philosophy)
- Social Security (SS has been borrowing money this year to cover the checks they are writing; so much for that Lock Box Hillary promised.)
- Military (Nidal Hasan’s anti-Americanism tolerated in the name of Political Correctness – Fort Hood attack )
Federal Debt
Unemployment since 1995
These liberal/progressives have been able to excuse the failure of these systems over the years by blaming others for blocking their efforts. Republicans, Christians, “the rich”, big greedy business, racism, and global warming skeptics. Their favorite excuse; George Bush. In their mind these were the things that were blocking their path to successful implementation of the socialist state.
So moving forward to 2008, it was with glee that these people believed that if they elected Obama, who referred to himself in Messianic terms, they would finally be able to change America to a socialist mecca; they would be the ones to finally get it right. For they believed that the reason that state-run-everything is failing in Europe (Greece, and Spain for example), failed in Germany and Russia in the past and Venezuela in the present, is because the right people were not running it.
So when Barrack Obama told them that “We are the Ones we’ve been waiting for.” They drank the kool-aid. Utopia and world harmony were just around the corner.
In barely over a year they have spent almost a trillion dollars to jump-start their agenda, confiscated General Motors (which saw the government take money from stock holders and give it to the workers, i.,e. unions) so they can insure that their electric cars are produced. They, against the will of the people, passed Health Care legislation giving control to the smart people (i.e. them) rather than your doctor, to decide what is best for you. As a side benefit, to them, they have managed to also insure that government will now fund abortion on demand starting in Pennsylvania. Coming soon is financial legislation that will guarantee hiring quotas for financial institutions.
For the modern Democrat, It is all about Government being in control. During one single day, June 30th of this year, the Government took on more debt then in all of the 2007 (George Bush’s last budget.) In the first year of the Obama Presidency government budgets were increased, on average, 50%. It doesn’t get much better if you believe in government statisim. But in spite of all these victories they are angry.
1930's soup lines
As the country nears depression levels not seen since the soup lines of the 1930’s they are angry. Angry because they believed that all along they just needed the right people to instill the concepts of their New America; the smart people in charge of everything so social/progressive utopia could be implemented correctly for the first time in history. And in less than two years they have failed. Failed to such a degree that the country is in danger. The way of life we have enjoyed is on the brink. For the first time our children may not do better than us.
And here is the bottom line; you can never afford to compromise when it comes to socialism no matter what name it tries it hide under. You have to recognize it has NEVER worked in human history.
There is no such thing as a moderate Democrat. When socialist ideas were on the line they marched lockstep with this President to pass their agenda against the will of the people. There is also no use for so-called moderate Republicans; always willing to believe you can compromise with a socialist agenda.
The American system of government, as created by the founders, evolved into the greatest country even known to man for one reason; Freedom. Freedom to pursue Life, Liberty and Happiness. Ideals that the founders of the country believed are bestowed by our Creator, not by man and government.
And so we have reached a point where any logical reasoning has to admit that there is nothing special about this President or Congress; they are just the latest variety of elitists to believe they know what is best for you. And now they are angry at the unspoken realization that, like those before them, they have failed to succeed in creating utopia. And you can go to the bank on the fact they will soon be looking for yet someone else to blame for their utterly magnificent failure. And when they can’t succeed at they they will turn to mud slinging and fear. Earlier this month Democrat’s set up a new website just for this function. In the coming months leading up to the November elections you will hear their excuses, fear tactics and mudslinging and you will know, once and for all, it’s time to tell them NO!
