In the former Soviet Union, dissidents were called “enemies of the state” by the ruling apparatchiks and imprisoned for posing a threat to the ruling order. In addition, dissidents were branded as mentally ill and confined to a psychiatric ward so they could be “cured” of their anti-state thoughts. Ironically, in America today the mass media are performing a similar task as the thugs who enslaved the Russians and other ethnic groups for nearly seventy five years by insinuating that critics of the federal government are “dangerous” and mentally unbalanced.
With much fanfare including a photo op away from the nation’s capital, GOP congressional leaders rolled out their “Pledge to America,” which includes all the images (Statue of Liberty, Mount Rushmore, small businesses, town hall meetings and of course the American flag) to invoke a warm and fuzzy feeling among the electorate who appear ready to vote overwhelming for Republicans in the midterm elections.
V.I. Lenin, the first supreme leader of the Soviet Union, allegedly said that western supporters of the communist regime were “useful idiots.” Whether or not Lenin said this is beside the point, because in the United States, we have an abundance of ‘useful idiots” who still believe the Bush invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq were necessary for the national security of the United States.
The results of the GOP primaries this year reveal one indisputable fact; grassroots Republicans are angry, frustrated, and disgusted; they want to restrain the power of the federal government. We will have to wait until November 2nd to see if Democrats and Independents feel the same way as GOP activists, who have sent a clear message to the GOP establishment, enough of your rhetoric, enough of your big government policies, it’s time to restore the principles of freedom, liberty and limited government.
Last week, President Obama made a speech in Ohio about the economy. Below are excerpts from the speech and reveals what we know about seasoned politicians—they want everyone to love them except their political rivals. President Obama also demonstrates a lack of understanding of the free market, the role of government in a free society, and what caused our financial crisis.
If the U. S economy is recovering from the financial crash and housing bubble of the past several years, it is at best a subpar performance, given the employment data that was released last Friday. Although 431,000 new jobs were created in May, the vast majority were temporary census positions (411,000). The private sector increased the number of jobs by 41,000, and the unemployment rate declined slightly to 9.7%.
A week ago The Record’s editor, Alfred P. Doblin, criticized me in his column for defending the right of bigoted business owners to refuse service to blacks or anyone else they disliked. I responded to Mr. Doblin in a letter to the editor that was published on May 30. The slightly edited letter contains all the major points I made in my original response about the sanctity of property rights, the foundation of a free society.
There is an outfit called the Responsible Wealth Network (RWN) comprised of upper income folks who think they are not paying enough in federal taxes. They and their supporters believe that “economic justice” requires allowing the Bush tax cuts to expire at the end of 2010 and increasing taxes on dividends and capital gains.
