The Repugnance of Socialism

from americanthinker.com

Earlier this year I read a column in which the writer rejoiced because the word, "socialism," is no longer a scary bogeyman to Americans. When I Googled the writer and learned he was only 31 and graduated from Columbia, it wasn't hard to figure out how he got it all wrong.

Since he had clearly been taught our "revised" history -- the one that glosses over the 100,000,000-grave killing fields of the communists and makes high drama out of the "sufferings" of the Hollywood blacklisted and the McCarthy hearings -- he didn't have a clue about what actually happened. This pitiful, Ivy-League indoctrinated writer had reached the false conclusion that Americans used to be scared down to their woolies of the big bad commies, but weren't anymore.

Isn't it hard to believe that reasonably intelligent parents actually pay big bucks for those fancy degrees in poppycock?

Idle thoughts from an idle mind

Young female drivers have taken over the dubious title of reckless drivers.More times than not, when you see a young driver driving like a young male, the driver is female.

Drivers of expensive cars, such as Mercedes and BMW, seem to be more assholish than drivers of lesser priced cars. They are more apt to go too fast, cut in and out of lanes dangerously, and they lack simple courtesy towards other drivers. Maybe it's just my class envy and prejudice.

When did company-offered health care benefits become a right?

When anyone says something is a "no-brainer," I rev up my brain.

"Okay, you people." When I hear anyone address a group with "people," I leave or turn him off.

Anyone caught peeing on a toilet seat in a public restroom should be caned. If he is a minor, his father should be caned for not teaching him.

Most "undecideds" are probably "noneoftheaboves."

When did "you're welcome" get replaced by "no problem?"

Why is "Jack" the nickname for "John?" Why does "John" even need a nickname?

Want to know more about Barack Obama?

In a 2001 Obama interview by WBEZ Chicago Public Radio, we learn his beliefs regarding socialist policies. Among other things, he laments the fact that the Warren Supreme Court did not pursue "redistribution of wealth" enough.

Pay close attention to what he says about breaking the constraint of the founding fathers.

Scary.
