There They Go Again—Socialism

Professor’s Classroom

Subject:  Political Theory

Once again there are those that are using the term “socialist or socialism” when they refer to the Prez….but again there needs to be a correction in their thinking (if there is such a thing).  Personally, I am a bit weary of the analogy…..it would possibly a little more palatable if any truth were with in it…..but sadly, these a demented little toads that are doing NOTHING, but lying to the sheep that listen….sad indictment on the flock…..

This time it is a return visit from Rep. Bachmann of Minnesota:

“This is their intention from the start, Sean,” Bachmann answered. “This is cradle-to-grave governmentt takeover of the Pelosi health care nightmare known as this bill.”

Bachmann also called the bill a “horror picture show,” “the crown jewel of socialism,” “socialized medicine” and “unconstitutional.”

First of all, we should not allow morons to run for Congress, especially those that have NO idea about political philosophy, especially just what the hell socialism is…..I have tried several times to educate the idiots out there that keep using the socialism analogy….but so far they are NOT listening…..

Here we go…the Crown Jewel Of Socialism…is LABOR….beyond that…..socialist at the turn of the 20th century in the fledgling labor movement gave us today some of the issues that we take for granted…8 hour day, overtime pay, 5 day work week, minimum wage, paid holidays and laws against child labor…just to mention a few and I do not see anyone bitching about these things….

Sorry I digress…..if you want the truth and if health care was the crown jewel of socialism, then the Dems would be fighting harder for universal, single payer….but instead they seem to have forgotten that…..

NOTHING and I repeat for those with the IQ of their shoe size….NOTHING about the proposed health reform bills that smack of socialism….could we please move pass the bullsh!t?

The more I hear these so-called politicians bump their gums I am reminded of something Plato said, “The penalty good men pay for not being interested in politics is to be governed by men worse than themselves”.

Taxpayers Take Yet Another Screwing!

The bailout thing has been nothing but a good gang rape of the taxpayer from the beginning…..the bags of money delivered to Wall Street by the government  has done nothing for the taxpayer and everything for the greedy people on Easy Street…..

The Business journal is reporting:

CIT Group Inc. filed for bankruptcy protection Sunday after its board of directors approved of a plan to reorganize the giant small business lender.

The plan has also been approved by CIT’s creditors.

The bankruptcy of CIT is likely to hand the Treasury Department its biggest loss to date under the Troubled Asset Relief Program. It invested $2.3 billion in CIT last December.

CIT was caught in a squeeze between loans gone bad as the economy worsened in the past year and being cut off from the unsecured debt market, which it relied on for about 75 percent of its funding. More stable bank deposits made up less than 5 percent of its funds.

Wait!  Did the article say that the creditors approved the action?  Since the taxpayer is on the hook for billions……did anyone ask them if they approved?  I did not get a note asking me….how about you?

When are the people going to start exercising their muscle on all this silliness?
