It's Time To Stop The Left's Move To Take Down AmericaThis is a long rambling rant that was written over several weeks. I hope that you will find some useful insights into what is happening to this great country of ours. At the end, I will propose solutions that I think will work. What is the biggest threat facing this country? There are a variety of answers to this question. There is the threat of another terrorist attack, with the distinct possibility that the next one will make 9/11 look like child's play. I think, however, that the bigger threat is the mindset of the "Hate America" Far Left that seem to be trying to set us up for just that sort of attack. It's the mindset that America is to blame for everything bad in the world. Unless we are brought down, or at least reduced in stature forcing us into a one world Socialist government under the control of the UN, we are the personification of all that is evil in this world. The gameplan seems to be slowly propagandizing the American people that are not part of the Marxist Socialist Elite to accept their agenda of this country's failure. The Progressive Far Left's Communist power brokers need to instill this belief in order to force compliance with their agenda for a Communist take over of the free world. Let's explore why they think this, and why there are billions of dollars in "reward" for them if America falls. Communism is now making its move and is attempting to bring into fruition a series of events that they began in the middle 1800s. Let's go back in time. In 1848 a well to do, spoiled, and lazy member of the priviledged elite, who ended up destitute at the time of his death, named Karl Marx, and a spoiled wealthy aristocrat, and Marx's benefactor, named Fredrich Engels wrote a book called The Communist Manifesto. The Industrial Revolution which had started in the 1700s, was in full swing. The Western World was emerging from an agrarian way of life into a goods and services way of life. The United States was still a new and expanding nation. There was a large wave of immigration in this country prior to the Civil War as a result of jobs being available in our factories as part of that Industrial Revolution. Working conditions were squalid and dangerous, there were no child labor laws, and people were forced to work sixteen hour days...seven days per week for a pittance. They lived in company owned slums and were paid in company script rather than hard currency. The script was used to pay "rent" for their sub-standard living quarters, and was the only "currency"good at the company store where they were forced to purchase their food, clothing, etc. at inflated prices that returned all of their income back to the company. In another words, they were slaves. Slavery didn't just exist on the agricultural plantations of the South. However, people continued to stream across the ocean to take those jobs, because they were better than anything that they could get in their native European countries. Yes, the Industrial Revolution was also in full swing in Europe, but as we expanded as a nation, America still offered more opportunity. There were more jobs. Many Chinese came here to work on building the railroads for the same reason. Labor unions began to form in order to make the lives of these working classes better. This was necessary, because of the way that these workers were completely exploited by the so called "Robber Barons" that were the economic power base of the Industrial Revolution. Immigration dropped off during the Civil War for obvious reasons, and then sprang back up during the time period lasting from the 1880s through the 1920s. Many still came here for the economic opportunity that America offered...an opportunity that was still not available in their home countries. My own maternal grandparents came over here from Italy at the turn of the last century for those reasons. There were limited opportunities for them in their native country. They wanted a fresh start somewhere else, and if you were willing to work hard, America was the place to come where you just might have a chance of a better life. Others came here to avoid religious or political persecution just like the Colonists did starting in the 1600s. During periods of time between immigration waves, our borders were shut in order to allow these immigrants to absorb themselves into our American society, and to become part of the "Melting Pot" of American culture. This becoming part of the American "Melting Pot" is significantly missing with many of the immigrants coming here today. They refuse to assimilate into American society. This insistance on Multi-Culturalism is intentional on the part of the Left. It's part of their divide and conquer tactic. Marx died in London 1883. Soon afterward, his teachings began to take hold in the academic world, and developed and grew as Marx's defacto disciples slowly gained a foothold in the senior ranks of the academic community. Marxist and Socialist principles were seeds planted in the minds of the young idealistic minds that made up, and still make up, the clients of the world of academia. It is in planting these seeds, that the Marxists have been able to gain power over the past one hundred years. Today, professors with a Conservative viewpoint make up less than two percent of the academic community. Most are Liberal, and many go way beyond Liberalism into the realms of Socialism and Communism. During the 1920s, following the Russian Revolution in 1917, many who came here were not just looking for the economic chance that America offered. Many of them were also Marxists and Anarchists. The Bolshevik Revolution in Russia, created the Soviet Union. Contrary to popular belief, it was not a revolution of the Proletariat. The Bolshevik Revolution begin in the universites of Russia among the spoiled children of the wealthy and the upper middle class. It was the ultimate act of rebellion against their parents. These spoiled brats, became the Communist revolutionaries, who were able to convince the common people, because of want and need; the upper middle class, because of guilt; and the slothfull upper class elites because of a quest for unchecked power, (sound familiar?), that if they followed them, they could have something for nothing. Vladimir Lenin did not grow up poor. He was the son of a wealthy Russian civil servant. He attended Kazan University until he was expelled, because of his Marxist revolutionary activies. Lenin later competed college, and became a lawyer. He was not a member of the Proletariat. He was a priviledged member of the upper reaches of the very Bourgeoisie that he so despised. The Bolshevik Revolution moved him from being a priviledged member of the upper middle class, to the most privileged member of the upper class, which became Russia's new royalty. The Communist Party was now entrenched in the Soviet Union. However, in the chaos that ensued, there was a revolution within a revolution. You had the Trotskyistes who favored a worldwide Communist revolution all at once, and you had the Stalinites who favored revolution slowly one country at a time. The Stalinists gained control after Lenin's death, and Trotsky was exiled to Mexico where he was finally murdered by a Stalinist supporter in the 1940s. Anarchism never gained much momentum except for a brief period during the 1920s. It was too radial an ideology for most people to take seriously. However, the Marxists were smart. They kept a much lower profile. Starting in the 1920s the Marxists slowly began their rise to influential political power here in this country too. As I mentioned earlier, they gained the same foothold in the American academic world as they did in the European one. The ultimate goal was, and still is, the overthrow of the United States Government, and the institution of Communism in America. They are doing it with the slow introduction of Socialist principles and programs designed to "soften up" the American people. According to Marx, Socialism is the stepping stone between Capitalism and Communism. Let's look at the various ways that these Socialist programs have been implemented: Examples would be the infiltration of the labor unions starting in the early 1900s, and all the "Alphabet Soup" government programs that were started during the Franklin Roosevelt "New Deal." How about Lyndon Johnson's "Great Society" social programs? Those intrenched "Great Society" programs have cost over three trillion dollars, and have increased poverty in America by over 600%. Where is the exit strategy on the "War On Poverty?" This well intentioned debacle has created an ever expanding underclass in America. As a result of this underclass, you have high crime rates in the cites and a destroyed urban soceital infrastructure, as well as a completely failed urban public school system. The creation of this permanent underclass, that is has no accountability at all for any of their actions, and is totally reliant on the government for everything, is deliberate, because it is a necessary part of the plan for the destruction of the United States of America. Slowly forcing dependency on the government has been the agenda, with it going full speed ahead starting in the 1960s. The Marxists also know that Political and/or Economic Marxism would be resisted in earnest by the so called "Silent Majority." They have to bring it in through the back door under the smoke screen of Progressivism, which is Cultural Marxism. The Progressive Movement also came out of the 1920s advancing the doctrine of Democratic Socialism. On face value, it looks like a good plan. You allow private ownership of businesses, yet you have "reasonable" government controls over most industries. However, what constitutes "reasonable"? While businesses have an obligation to be good stewards of the economy that they drive, they also can not be pushed down to the point where you drive them under without goverment intervention. Corporate welfare is the result. The Left screams about Republican governments spending money on corporate welfare for their "rich big business buddies like Halliburton," but it's the Socialist Left that forced its creation. The Progressives worked slowly behind the scenes until 1949 when they finally decided to field a presidential candidate named Henry Wallace. Naturally, he didn't win. Dwight D. Eisenhauer, a Republican, was elected President in 1950. The 1972 Liberal Democrat presidential candidate, George McGovern, originally came out of the Wallace camp. He didn't win either. The Progressive Movement needs to be looked at very seriously. Currently, it is the tool of the Marxists power brokers, that has been used to create an out of control bureaucratic welfare system, gain control of our public education systems and our college and university systems, and a host of other programs. These programs are designed to be agents of change to brainwash the majority of the American people into the belief that there can be a Utopian society. This can be achieved if we all agree to give up certain freedoms for the "common good," in exchange for a much larger government safety net. What that "common good" means, is that the little people like ourselves can give up our personal and economic freedoms to be herded into a program of Collectivism, while the Progressive Elites, which come from the same basic ideology as the spoiled brats that started the Russian Revolution, get rewarded by the Left's power brokers for helping to take us down. However, if that ever happened, it's the Left Elites arrogance that will be their undoing. The behind the scenes Marxist power brokers don't care how far up the food chain the Elites are. Once they serve their purpose, they will be "eliminated" one way or another. Communism is also making it's move in other ways. As I wrote before, the Communists have infiltrated our labor unions, which was a goal that they started back during the Industrial Revolution and began in earnest during the 1920s through the 1930s and beyond. Working conditions were right at the time for the creation of unions. People were literally being killed on the job, because of dangerous and squalid working conditions. However, the over zealous demands of the unions over the years now threatens American industry. Labor costs in this country have become so expensive, that companies outsource a large percentage of their labor to the Third World. This has resulted in the loss of both manufacturing jobs, and over the past 15 years or so, the loss of the white collar professional jobs in industries like technology, medicine, and engineering. The Liberals immediately blame the Conservatives, and especially the Republicans for being all for big business and being only concerned with profits. First of all, a business is in business to make money. The bottom line is the bottom line. No business, except for the Federal Government, can run at a loss for any length of time and still stay afloat. Businesses rely on both material resources and human resources to produce products that are within the acceptable price range of their targeted market. They are also responsible to their stockholders, who provide them with necessary investment capital. Stockholders expect to make a profit on their investments. If a six foot in diameter tree is cheaper to purchase from Japan than say Oregon, guess where the saw mill is going to buy that tree? The same goes for human resources. If a US college graduate comes out of school demanding a starting salary of $50,000 a year, and some graduate from a college in India is willing to take a starting salary of $20,000 a year guess which one the company is going to hire? Now if that Indian graduate also has better skills than the American counterpart wouldn't you think that the business is going to look at hiring that individual as a double benefit? There is another problem that the Left has created for America. It's what they have done to both our public education system, and to our college and university system as a whole. Yes, there are exceptions to the rule. You have engineering schools like the University of Maryland, RIT, and MIT as well as the US Military academies. You have the Ivy League schools that are leaders in Liberal Arts, Law and Medicine. However, you are finding less and less public high school graduates that qualify for acceptance to these schools. Many graduating from the "dumbed down" inner city schools can not read or write. Many graduating from so called decent public schools in the suburbs, are doing math and reading at sub-standard levels for high school graduates. Consequently, college and university acceptance and academic standards have also been"dumbed down" so that colleges can still produce graduates. Higher education is a business just like any other business. It needs to produce a product, which is the graduate, from the raw material, which is the student. They have had to lower admission standards in order to get enough of that raw material in order to stay in business. They have also had to water down their curricula in order to produce the requisite number of graduates to fill the needs of the white collar job market. However, you hear from the business community that many of the college graduates that they hire, are not as qualified as the college graduates were thirty years ago. Those coming out of the private independent schools are getting the necessary education to compete in that upper echelon of the education system. Those schools have very demanding academic standards, but also cost a lot of money, which put them out of the reach of the vast majority of the families in this country. You now have a education system that educates the wealthy Elites with a quality education system, and a system for everyone else that demands standards that are only a fraction of what the standards were fifty years ago. This is also part of the plan. I teach part time in a private school. The underlying philosophy of that school is very Leftist, but because most of the students there come from the top one quarter of one percent of the economic base in this country, it's Leftist from a pure Elitist point of view. The students there are being groomed for the Ivy League, where they can be further brainwashed into becoming the Socialist Elite tools of the Left's power brokers. I think there are only three or four conservative members of the faculty at that school. I'm one of them. When you hear the conversations in the lunch room about world events, it's amazing how spoiled and Ivory Tower Elitist most of the faculty are. They have been completely brainwashed into the Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn, and Cornel West way of thinking that America is an evil imperialist criminal nation, Hell bent on world domination, with big oil and corporate America, especially now that a Republican is in the White House, as the administrations prime benefactors. However, I don't see these upper middle class Elites having any problem in investing in those same big oil companies and evil corporations when it comes to their own investment portfolios. One of them even goes so far as to admit that he gets inside information from one of his students, whose father is on the board of directors for several evil big corporations. Consequently, he claims that he has made a lot of money from what amounts to insider trading. In his Elite mind, it's ok for him to make as much money as he wants, legally or illegally, because he believes in good Socialist causes. Do as I say, not as I do. I guess because they are the Elites, and therefore better than everyone else, they are entitled to make money anyway they can, legally or illegally, and hide their money in off shore tax shelters, while calling for tax increases on everyone else. As a side note, India provides their citizens with free higher education. When I hear this,, the implied implication is that America should provide free higher education to everyone in this country. First of all, does India pay for the college education of every single one of its citizens? I doubt it. I'm sure that since the government is fitting the bill, higher education is rationed so that only their very brightest and best students are allowed into the program. Everyone else is kept in their place in their societal structure. If everyone in India were college educated professionals, India would be the most prosperous country in the world, rather than one of the poorest. Yes, as a result of this education program, India, is starting to develop an emerging middle class. This is a good thing. Countries with strong middle classes tend to be stable politically, and when they become technologically advanced, pollute less. Currently, India is still one of the top three poluters in the world, but things are slowly inproving. India is becoming a major player in the global economy too. America however, is still the largest player in the global economy. In fact, because our economy is so large, it makes up twenty eight percent of the total world's economy. We can't just sit back and be complacent because we are so large. We have to be the leader. We have to set the standards for other countries to follow. What are we doing in this country to increase standards that make us not just competitive, but the benchmark standard? Why does the Left constantly make excuses for mediocrity and failure? Because education failure is part of the plan. John Dewey, a self-proclaimed Communist, is considered the father of modern education. Back in the 1920s he helped found the National Education Association, which is today the largest teachers' union in the country. The NEA is more interested in promoting the status quo and protecting the jobs of incompetent teachers, than in working to improve our country's education system. Dewey believed that teachers were supposed to be agents of change, and had an obligation to brainwash students into a belief in Collectivism rather than developing Individualism. This is part of that status quo. Education Establishment Elites have taken control of our public education system, and have slowly and behind the scenes advanced a "dumbing down" process creating a permanent underclass that will always be dependent on the Federal Government for their survival. Look at our inner city schools, and you will see the proof of the pudding. Sixty years ago, they were some of the finest schools in this country. What happened? Teachers were "trained" to be Communist agents of change whether they knew it or not. Marxist Progressives are, and have been for years, the dominant force in our college and university faculty and administrations. Remember, they began their rise to power in the world of academia shortly after Marx's death. Forced indoctrination of Socialist and Communist beliefs is now standard procedure in most of our institutes of higher education. Oh, I'm sorry. I think they call themselves Progressive. One or two generations of illiterate college graduates lowers the abilitiy of the US to compete in the global economy. That's the plan. Politics is not sacred either. The left wing of the Democratic Party is now made up of wealthy power hungry Socialists like Nancy Pelosi, Ted Kennedy and Harry Reid, who are bound and determined that they are going to force the American people onto the plantation of Socialism. Why? Because it solidifies their power, and power is what it's all about when it comes to Socialism. Common sense Democrats like Connecticut Senator Joseph Lieberman, and former senators Zell Miller and Henry "Scoop" Jackson, are now few and far between. They used to make up the majority of the once great and honorable Democratic Party. Senator Lieberman is now being targeted for defeat in the 2006 election by the Left, because he supports the war in Iraq and believes in American sovereignty. Socialists are now the power base of the Democratic Party. Read the DNC's party platform, and it reads just like Marx. The Marxists pawns have also managed to "move" themselves into key positions in many of our federal, state, and local agencies like the State Department, the CIA, and the NSA. Many non-governmental organizations, like those that make up the Green movement are funded discretely, but quite thoroughly by the Communist governments of Cuba, North Korea, and Venezuela, with the money coming in from various secret offshore banks through the Left's international banking power brokers. These Communist nation funds are also channeled into various 527s as legal contributions to the DNC. Despite the bleating of the Left about rich Republicans in the back pocket of Corporate America, most of the real big money in America is Left Wing money. This "old money" as it is called came out of the Industrial Revolution and international banking. This "old money" has created a class of idle rich, who are basically America's untitled aristocracy. They align themselves with their Socialist European counterparts in the belief that they are intellectually superior to the rest of us, and that we need to be kept in our place. After all, if someone works their way up and becomes successful, it challenges their status quo. These are the behind the scenes super wealthy "old money" families that own the news media, and uses it to advance their Leftist agenda. They also know how to use the American Bill of Rights to subvert America with their ideology. Freedom of the press comes from the First Ammendment to the United States Constitution. This is a double edged sword. The First Ammendment in the Bill of Rights allows them to print what they choose when it comes to reporting the news. They can include, or leave out, anything they want. It's their choice. The old money elite control the flow of information in this country to what will advance their master plan. They are not too subtle about it either. They don't have to be. They own it. If you don't believe me, read the New York Times or the Washington Post. They also now control the Judiciary with activist Liberal judges, so they don't have to worry about being charged with treason or sedition in their attempt to bring down America, and demoralize our military in their quest for power. When was the last time CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS MSNBC, the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Lost Angeles Times, or NPR reported anything positive about the war in Iraq? They won't. They refuse. Of course talk radio, the Washington Times and that evil Fox News are portrayed as being tools of the Fascist Bush Administration, because they present the side of the argument opposite to what the Left wants you to hear. They can hide behind the First Amendment when it's convenient for them, while at the same time call for restrictions on internet blogs during election time. They also want that corrupt Maxist organization called the UN to control the internet. They want their message to get out there, and no one else's. Howard Dean said in an interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer during the run up to the 2004 election, that if he had his choice, he would shut down Fox News. Control of information is a necessary part of the plan. Creating social unrest and discord is also part of the Left's divide and conquer tactic. Look at the so called antiwar movement. The antiwar movement is almost completely controlled and funded through elaborate money laundering schemes by Communist dictatorships, and the very wealthy Socialist individuals with their off shore numbered bank accounts, who are the Left's power brokers. Currently, the United States is in a war for the survival of the Western World, that is threatened by militant radical Islam. Why does the Left want America to lose this war? What is the hidden agenda? Could it be that Radical Islam is being used as a tool by the International Marxist power brokers in their quest for world domination? A weakened America is part of the plan. If the Left can prevent America from defending itself from external as well as internal enemies, our government will collapse and create a power vacuum. Then the Left can move in and set up their Communist dictatorship. That's my take on it. However, something happened in the 1980s that the Leftists didn't anticipate. The power elite of the Left got caught off guard by Ronald Reagan. His massive military build up forced the Soviet Union to extend itself financially to the breaking point in the effort to keep up. The USSR collapsed, and the 80 year experiment of the Left's beloved Communism in Russia and Eastern Europe ended. Only China is left as a major Communist player in the game. However, we do have to deal with expanding Communist influence in Central America, and Cuba is still a thorn in our side, ninety miles off the coast of Florida. Revenge for Reagan's success, means that the United States had to be taken down, and it will be easier to take us down from within. The Marxists are very busy attempting to establish Communist stronholds in Central America and South America with China's and Cuba's financial backing. The goal is to surround the United States in order to implement a blockade of our shores and borders with a strong Fifth Column working on the inside. The Marxist Elites are trying desperately to bring this into play. There is one obstacle to this, and it's a very big obstacle. It's the "Average Joe" and "Average Jane" that make up the so called "Silent Majority" in this county...you know, those stupid, undeducated, unenlightened, ignoramuses that live somewhere in the Midwest, or at least not in the blue urban areas of the red state blue state thing, that still go to church on Sunday, are patriotic, and believe in the sovereignty of the United States. In another words, the non-Elites. These are the people that work for a living and are are not government bureaucrats, education establishment types, entertainment Elites, the idle rich, or working for government funded non-profits in the big cities. They may not agree with the current administration on some, or most of their policies, but the trust the Elites even less. They may not be able to see all the details behind the Left's smoke screen, but they have enough common sense to realize that there is a strong anti-American element among us, that is trying to sell us down the river. They also know that Radical Islam is a very real threat to our survival as a nation. This is why many people, even though they didn't like his domestic policies, and that includes many Democrats, still voted for George W. Bush in the 2004 election. They didn't trust John Kerry to help keep us safe, and they saw John Kerry for what he is...a very wealthy Socialist Elite who wanted to take away their hard earned money for the "common good," to fund inefficient and failed social programs that don't work. These "little people" are the people that the Left needs to destroy in order to bring their agenda into power. Are they going to physically destroy them? Of course not. That can be done later in reeducation camps. They have to be demoralized until they finally give up in despair and give in to the Left's master plan...hopefully, without a fight. Here's how the multi-faceted plan works: You convince a segment of the population that they are victims and that it's their right to remain victims and receive entitlements, because they have been oppressed. For example, look at the African American community in the inner cities. If Liberals were so concerned with making the lives of these folks better, they would quit the blame game and start demanding programs that encourage self-reliance and success. They would stop promoting an underclass mentality in the Black community. They would demand personal responsibility, condemn a culture of failure for what it is, as well as insist on accountability and academic success in the inner city schools. They would stop vilifying successful African Americans like Colin Powell, Thomas Sowell, and Herman Cain as being "Uncle Toms" and "Oreos." Their intention is not to better the lives of the people in the ghettos no matter how much "compassion" they seem to have in their hand wringing and whining. They need that underclass and its victim mentality in order to help their all controlling agenda. The Left thrives on victims, and the more victims the better. The way to do this, is to raise the lower classes up slightly with "throw them a bone" social programs which create dependency on the system, while at the same time, reduce the middle class to a common denominator with the poor through high taxation, and lowered education standards. Couple this with a philosophy of failure, victimhood, envy, and blame, and you've got one part of the Marxists recipe for their success at the expense of the poor and the middle class. Of course they will accuse Conservatives, especially Republicans, as being mean spirited, insensitive, and creating class warfare. Who is creating the class warfare here? Sorry, it's the Left not the Right, in their quest for power. Another step in the plan is disinformation and outright lies told over and over again, until people start to think they are true. The Media lend their full support of these tactics, because they are part of the conspiracy to take down the government. One of the goals of the American Communist Party in the 1950s was to get control of the news media. If you look at what comes out of NPR, CNN, ABC and others it's pretty obvious that they now have that control. George Soros' MoveOn.org boasts that they have people that have infiltrated the news organiations working for the Media, that control what is reported and what isn't. When was the last time you heard about the good things happening in Iraq? All you hear about is the US Military body count, how many "innocent" civilians our troops have "murdered," Bush lied to get us into this illegal war in order to let his oil buddies, especially Halliburton make huge profits, etc. It was the same thing with the Viet Nam war. We lost the war, because the Left caused the American people to lose their will. We had the war won after the Tet Offensive, but then Walter Cronkite started reporting that America was losing the war. The North Vietnam leadership knew at that point that American will would not prevail. All they had to do was wait us out, and sure enough, public pressure caused President Nixon to cut and run. We were still going to provide financial support for the South Vietnamese government. However, the US Congress voted to cut all funding for the war. Consequently, after we pulled out of Viet Nam in disgrace, the North Vietnamese over ran South Vietnam murdering hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians, as well as sending hundreds of thousands more to be tortured and killed in reeducation camps. Millions more were murdered in Laos and Cambodia as those countries also fell to Communism. It is crucial for the Left that America lose the war in Iraq in order to reduce us to nothing in the eyes of the international community. This is to help advance our own fall to their beloved Communism. All you hear about is, "They hate us. Have you been to Europe and listened to what they are saying about us Americans? Oh, and you should hear what they say about that Nazi Bush." Well, I've got news for you. America bashing by Europeans is nothing new. It didn't come about because of George W. Bush. Anti-Americanism has flourished in Europe since the 1700s. It was also prevalent in the 1970s, 1980s, and even under President Bill Clinton in the 1990s. I travelled in Europe during the Carter, Reagan, and Clinton administrations. There was plenty of anti-American sentiment to go around...depending on where you were of course. France and Greece seemed to have the most hostility. So did the middle aged population in Moscow, who hatefully blame Ronald Reagan for the collapse of their cradle to the grave Communist nanny state, which means that they had to get off their lazy asses and go to work for a living. Of course, the Media won't state that either. In their eyes, it's all because of Bush. Why do they hate us? First of all, the Europeans are jealous and resentful. America was the great experiment that was supposed to fail. How could a country that is made up of the rejects from every corner of the earth become so successful? The reason is our work ethic and the fact that we are a capitalistic country. Europeans are resentful, because they needed us to provide their national defense from the end of World War II until the present, to keep the Soviets from overrunning Europe in their quest for Communist world domination. Because all Europe had to do was field a token military, they could spend their capital on well intentioned social programs. What they have found out with their fifteen percent unemployment rates and their continually growing violent underclass, is that Socialism doesn't work. As I said earlier, the US economy makes up about twenty eight percent of the world's economy. People get ahead in the corporate world here by working twelve hours per day, six days per week, and many don't take vacations. People own their own businesses and have the same work ethic, working up to twelve or more hours per day, seven days per week. Europe is Socialist, and they have an idle class of an extremely wealthy titled aristocracy that are into preserving their status quo. You also have a class of subsidized and unproductive middle class workers, who are more interested in having six weeks of legally mandated paid vacation per year, and having a whole slew of government social programs that provide free benefits and subsidies. You have a stagnant underclass of poor immigrants, mostly Islamic, that are unemployed, and have no chance of ever moving up the economic ladder, because of government laws that place undue restrictions on the hiring practices of most businesses. Of course, you don't hear much about this underclass, because if the European Socialist governments ever admitted that they existed, it would show the inherent falure of their beloved entitlement way of life. However, once in a while something really big happens, and the news is too big for the Marxist controlled media to contain. The Islamic riots in France were events that were just too big to keep under wraps. For a short time, there was scattered coverage of these events. The press mentioned semi-frequently for a while, that Islamic youth gangs were rioting in the streets. Ho hum...from what I understand, they do that every day. In the Islamic ghettos in the northwest suburbs of Paris, and other "enlightened" European cities, an average of about four hundred cars are torched each night. During the big riot in France, it was also scantilly reported about the assaults that took place during the riots, and how a wheelchair bound lady, was dowsed with gasoline and set on fire. This heinous behavior received scarce coverage in the Left controlled Mainstream Media. It would have made Socialism look bad.In order to get to the reasons for the underlying causes of this violent behavior, you had to dig through many internet sites for information about the Islamic underclass that is slowly taking over Europe. You have an underclass of despair, because most of them came from a life in North Africa, where there was no opportunity, to live in the suburban ghettos of Paris and other cities like Stockholm and Copenhagen, where there is no opportunity. The jobs that the host governments promised them, didn't exist. They are now trapped in a no-win situation, where they can take welfare, and become the idle poor...on in another words, the underclass. Most of the news articles about this have been "conveniently" left out of the newspapers. Reading these articles you also find that crime has become rampant in Europe. Sweden, the Liberals' "crown jewel" of a Utopian Socialist society now leads the world in violent crime. Denmark is also high on the list. Paris' north west suburbs, their Muslim enclaves, are so crime ridden that emergency personnel won't go in without a police escort. You would also never want to be caught there if you were white. Yes, America has more murders than they do in Europe, but Sweden, Denmark, and other bastions of Liberal Socialism lead the world in rape, other forms of sexual assaults, arson, burglary, armed robbery (Gee where did they get the guns. They have gun control), and a host of other violent crimes. Do you hear about this in the press? Of course not. More press coverage was devoted to who in the Bush Administration "leaked" Valerie Plame's name to the media blowing her cover as an undercover CIA agent, or how the evil Bush Administration is "illegally" spying on American citizens. The Liberals were chomping at the bit for indictments against Vice President Dick Cheney, and President Bush's Chief of Staff, Karl Rove and a host of other Bush Administration officials. What they got, much to their dismay, was a lone indictment against Chaney's Chief of Staff, "Scooter" Libby for perjury. It has been shown time and time again, that Plame wasn't undercover at the time. Her husband, Former Ambassador Joseph Wilson admitted that she was not undercover at the time to reporter Wolf Blitzer during a televised interview, but you'd never know that if all you read was the Washington Post and the New York Times. Both of these papers are propaganda tools of the Left in their attempt to bring down the current administration, and eventually, this country for their own benefit. In order to undermine the public's trust in Bush Administration, the Left, with their comrades in the press, continue to crank out scandal after scandal that go nowhere. What are the real scandals? How about incidents that compromise our national security? Who leaked classified information about CIA detention centers overseas? Who leaked information about the CIA's use of civilian airlines to transport suspected al-Qaida terrorists? Who leaked information about the current administration's program to gather national security information from intercepted communications from suspected terrorists overseas and their possible accomplices here in this country? Why is this NSA program illegal under Bush, but was perfectly legal under Carter and Clinton? Clinton's order included all electronic communications in a program called Eschelon, that covered every electronic communication in the US, not just those that began or ended overseas with suspected al-Qaeda terrorists. Clinton also used spy satelite techologly to gather information about Timothy McVeigh in the Oklahoma City bombing incident, and to ferret out the Branch Davidians. I won't fall for the argument that it was ok for Clinton to do it, and not Bush. Personally, I think that whoever sits in that chair in the Oval Office has an obligation to keep this country safe. If the president needs to authorize our spy agencies to look into the activities of certain people in this country as well as overseas, so be it. The government is not interested in whether or not some soccer mom is gossiping about the size of her husbands anatomy. They are interested, however, if that same soccer mom is involved in a plot to blow up midtown Manhattan. The people that leaked this classified information are not whistle blowers. They are traitors. There needs to be a thorough investigation, and the leakers need to be charged with treason, prosecuted, and if convicted, executed. Whether we agree with it or not, we are at war, and deliberate activities that aid and abet the enemy putting our domestic security, as well as the safety of our troops overseas in jepardy is treason, The penalty for treason during time of war should be death. Get over it. The Democrats have made it perfectly clear that if they gain control of the House and Senate in the 2006 elections, they will bring Articles of Impeachment against President Bush. I've also heard that they plan on doing the same thing to Vice President Cheney at the same time. Let's look at that plan. If Bush is convicted by impeachment and removed from office, Cheney becomes the president. For many on the Left, this is worse than having Bush finish out his term. The Liberals plan on using the Line of Succession to install their Socialist puppet as the president. Currently, the Line of Succession is as follows: President George W. Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert, President Pro-Tempore of the Senate Ted Stevens, and Secretary of State Condolezza Rice. From there is goes to other Cabinet officials as designated in the US Constitution. If the Democrats take control of the House and Senate, Nancy Pelosi becomes Speaker of the House...third in the Line of Succession. If they take down Bush and Cheney at the same time, she becomes the president. The Left has then intalled their Marxist puppet in the Oval Office enacting a bloodless coup that installs the first step of a Socialist government in America. What about Hillary? Here are some possibilities: Pelosi names Hillary Clinton as Vice President. Pelosi serves out the last two years of the current term and then decides to not seek election in the 2008 presidential race. Clinton has been the sitting Vice President, and therefore gets the rubber stamp from the DNC as their presidential candidate. The Republicans, because they failed to play hardball against the Democrats and knocked the wind out of their sails, are now rocked to the core by false scandal after false scandal. Consequently, they can't field a viable candidate to beat Hillary. She becomes the president, and soon afterward, her husband, Former President Bill Clinton is named the Secretary General of the United Nations. The sell out of America into the UN's one world government begins to head to fruition. If after the 2006 election, the Democrats control the House and the Senate, Bush needs to do the following: First, have Cheney step down from being VP and name Condelezza Rice as the Vice President. Then if Bush goes down in an impeachment conviction, which is unlikely but possible, Rice becomes the sitting president. This prevents Pelosi from moving into the White House. It also makes the 2008 election very dynamic. You have members of the press today asking whether or not America is ready for a woman president. There would be a woman president, assuming the Democrats run Hillary in 2008 regardless. Now let's look at another piece of the puzzle. This is a very dark predition, that I hope never comes into play. However, I do see it as part of the master plan. Sometime in the not too distant future, Socialist Mexico falls to Marxism as the cancer of Marxism takes over South and Central America. Canada, also falls from Socialism to Communism. This is the result of the collapse of both countries' economies due to the inherent failure of out of control spending on social programs managed by corrupt government officials. The UN amasses an army of invasion in Canada and Mexico, and when it is convenient, attacks the United States from both borders at the same time. This will occur shortly after Islamic terrorists have managed to detonate thermal nuclear devices in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and possibly Washington, DC throwing this country into total chaos. Why I say possibly DC, is DC might be spared. After all, at this point, the American government would have been sold out to the UN anyway. However, DC might go up in a mushroom cloud too just for symbolic principle. Millions of Americans will be slaughtered, and that will include the Elites in the worlds of entertainment, academia, and our government. As I said before, no matter how far up the food chain the puppets are, when they are no longer needed by the Left's power brokers, they will be eliminated. That includes Socialist Elites like Pelosi, Clinton, Kennedy, Kucinich, Boxer, Lee, McKinney, the heads of the various anti-American green movements, the anti-war movements, etc. They will no longer be needed, so they will need to be destroyed so that they can not cause problems for the power brokers once they find out that those power brokers will not reward them for their "loyalty" to the cause. The Marxist Left has been festering behind the scenes for years. They started to make their big move with the 2000 election. It didn't work. Their puppet, Al Gore was not elected. They coudn't even engineer the election through selective recounting of certain ballots and the fact that the Media discouraged people from voting by claiming that the polls were closed in the Conservative panhandle of Florida. The polls were open for another hour when the press made the announcement. This was blatant electioneering on the part of the Main Stream Media. Bush won by the skin of his teeth, but would have received an additional fourteen thousand votes if people in the pan handle had not heeded the deliberately false "announcement" about the polls being closed. President Bush has slowed down The Left's Marxist plans. That's why Bush is so hated by the Liberals. He stands in the way of them advancing their plan to take down the American government from within. They were more desperate during the 2004 election. I have never seen such hateful partisanship on the part of the Democrats in their quest to get a Socialist named John Kerry elected as President of the United States. The American people started to wake up, and re-elected Bush. Again, the Left was thwarted, so they became even more vicious. Today, there are engineering scandal after scandal that go nowhere, but are designed to undermine the Bush Administration's credibilty in order to set the stage for the next two elections. The Left has been slowly working behind the scene for this take over of America since the 1920s. You had the Communist bombings of Wall Street to try to take down the American financial engine during that time period. Many think that the Left was the actual engineer of the stock market crash in 1929, throwing the world into the Great Depression. After that, you had the Roosevelt Administration with its various Socialist "Alphabet Soup" agencies, that were nothing but ecconomic band aids, and prevented the market from recovering until we entered World War II. In 1939 you had the Non-Agression pact signed between the Soviet Union and Germany. The Left demanded that Roosevelt not get involved in the war, even though Hitler's Germany broke it's promise and was staging bombing raids of England, despite Prime Minister Neville Champberlain's "agreement" with Adolf Hitler that England would never be attacked. Hitler had also invaded Poland, France, and was marching across the European continent. However, once Germany invaded Russia things changed. Suddenly the Marxist Left in America was demanding that we get involved in the war. After all, their beloved Communist Soviet Union, their model of Utopia, was now under attack. Korea and Viet Nam were proxy wars between Russia trying to expand Communist influence in South East Asia with the help of their ally, China, and the United States, who was trying to prevent the domino theory from taking place. Guess which side the Left was on during these conflicts? The 1960s was also the time of the rise of the "Red Diaper Babies" into power in the world of academia. Their parents were the Marxists who came of age during the Great Depression. America was fighting Communism, so the Left sided against America. They supported the North Vietnamese in order to expand Communist control of Southeast Asia. More recently, they supported Russia when it invaded Afghanistan, They backed the Sandinistas in Nicaragua, There was nary a howl from the anti-war movement when Clinton invaded Bosnia or bombed Iraq. Their "boy" was in office at the time. However, things are different now. Their enemy, George W. Bush is the sitting president. He is the monkey wrench in the works preventing their master plan. Is President Bush the perfect president? Far from it. First of all, he's not real good at conveying his vision to the American people. His guest worker program for illegal aliens is, in my opinion, competely wrong. I don't believe for one minute that there are jobs in this country that Americans won't do. If they won't do them, they don't deserve the welfare checks that they recieve in leu of going out and working the menial jobs that these illegals are willing to perform in their stead. Unfairness aside, in a free market economy, there are always going to be "haves" and "have nots." Life isn't fair. Get over it. Poverty results from lack of education, lack of skills, lack of opportunity, and untimately, lack of ambition. During the 1930s many farmers who lost everything because of the Oklahoma Dust Bowl, migrated to California and worked in the fields picking lettuce, grapes, and other agricultural products. They were poor and for the most part, uneducated. Most of them remained poor, but they worked, and they worked hard. A few of them worked their way out of poverty, but most of their children, because they had a strong work ethic coupled with getting a better education than their parents, rose up from that poverty and became business leaders, doctors, lawyers, or successful farmers themselves. Illegals are a large part of the reason for the devaluation of wages in this country. For example, there are construction companies that hire illegal aliens for pennies on the dollar that they would have to pay a union tradesman. They know that the government doesn't have the resources to enforce laws that go after companies that hire illegals in the first place. For them, it's worth the risk. The penalties are not sufficiently harsh enough to matter. If the Federal Government made it a priority to do random checks of businesses known for hiring illegals, and made the companies produce proof that their employees were here legally, along with penalties like fining companies $1,000,000 for every illegal they hire, it wouldn't be worth the risk. Casual labor has become a huge black market, along with all the crime, health, and social problems that come with this ever expanding underclass. If the opportunities for these illegals dried up, they wouldn't come here. Mexico would then be forced to implement economic reforms that would stimulate the growth of a middle class in their country, rather than sending their poorest of the poor north to clog our system. However, this safety valve of them sending their lowest ten percent of their economic base north is what is is keeping the Socialist Mexican government from caving in and falling to the ever expanding Communist influence in Central America. The other side of the coin here too, is that unions have gotten too greedy when it comes to demanding salaries and benefits for their members. Somewhere along the way, there has to be a compromise. Unions are driving themselves out of business at the expense of their rank and file members. Look at the construction industry. Illegal aliens are working in this industry doing the same work that union tradesmen were doing for a lot less money. Yes, people are entitled to reasonable compensation for their labor, but in some industries, union tradesmen have priced themselves completely out of the market. For example, Las Vegas is one of the entertainment capitals of the world. Musicians make up a very valuable resource in the staging of many of the shows out there. The musicians union in Las Vegas has instituted rules as far as the number of musicians that need to be hired per room depending on audience capacity. This is not exclusive to Las Vegas. Similar union rules are in effect in most major entertainment cities. If a show comes in, and only requires five musicians, the union will still insist that if it's in a room that they have designated as a room with a thirty musician minimum, that the contractor hire those other twenty five. Those other musicians can then draw their pay for the job, while sitting in the back room playing cards. This is why many of the big rooms in Vegas have gone non-union, and why many of the shows in the union houses have gone with taped rather than live music. I can also remember checking into a hotel in New York with a large group, and being told that the baggage handlers' union required a five dollar per bag portage charge be added to the hotel bill whether they carried the bags to your room or not. When the bellmen saw a group of fifty checking in, they "conveniently" disappeared. It cost me fifteen bucks in baggage handling charges to carry my own bags up to my room. The hotel refused to remove the charge from my room bill, because they were afraid of a baggage handlers' strike. Unions were originally formed as guilds in order to set minimum standards of workmanship among their members, and to insure that those members received fair compensation for their skills. Later, unions began to form during the Industrial Revolution to insure that workers were compensated fairly for their labor, and to make the workplace as safe as possible. The eight hour work day became standard, and overtime pay became the norm for anything over eight hours per day. However, in the 1920s and 1930s, Communists started to gain control of the labor unions, especially those under the Congress of Industrial Organizations or the CIO. Much of this came about because of fear. In the 1920s, it was fear of business owners. In the 1930s, we were in the middle of the Great Depression. Many workers invisioned the Communist Party as the safety net they needed in order to survive. Some saw a different purpose, They were embracing the vision of the Communist Manifesto in which Karl Marx stated, "The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.Ó It was a the old "us and them" way of looking at the world. In 1933, the American Communist Party started concentrating on recruiting people that were already employed, rather than just concentrating on the unemployed like they had previously. The fishing industry, the canning industry, the farm workers union, and the dock workers unions were all suspected of being under Communnist control. Other unions like the aerospace workers unions and the trade unions like plumbers and carpenters, were also under suspicion. Gaining control of organized labor, was one of the goals of the American Communist Party. It's part of the Collectivism mindset championed by the Left. Politics aside, the demise of unions in this country, is because they have become too greedy in their demands. Companies can only afford to pay so much when it comes to salaries and benefits, and consumers can only afford to pay so much for goods and services. There have got to be compromises. Over the years as union influences have declined, the Left needed other tools at its disposal in their quest to move America in a Socialist direction in order to bring Communism eventually into fruition. Our greatest asset in this country is also our greatest liability. It's the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights. The Marxists have used our rights as Americans to advance treasonous activity here, without any fear of reprisal. One of the tools has been "Political Correctness." PC does nothing but criminalize thought, and prevent certain subjects from intellectual debate, because the non-PC side will always have to worry about whether or not they will be sued for saying the wrong thing. Of course it only works one way. The Left and their viewpoint are always right, and the Right and their viewpoint are always wrong. Bush, Cheney, Rove, Rice, Rumsfeld, and other Conservatives are evil Fascist Nazis, yet if you criticise any Leftist position, like being against gay marriage, you are suddenly labeled a homophobe. If you are against Affirmative Action and quotas, you are a Racist. Silencing opposing viewpoints is one of the weapons of the Left. Fortunately, we don't have to worry about dissenting speech leading to an appointment with an industrial plastic shredder like under Saddam's Iraq, but the Left is doing everything in their power to control the flow of information to only what they want us to know. As I mentioned earlier, the UN's attempt to gain control of the internet is one example. Even though the United States pays one fourth of the UN's operating budget, the UN remains basically anti-American and Socialist in its underlying philosophy. There are those on the Left, including several politicians that are calling for regulation of blog speech, and not just during election time. They want to make sure that whatever they say can not be challenged. In addition, school curricula have been altered over the years so that Americans have little knowlege of their government or their rights, and ultimately, their responsibilies as citizens. As far as I know, Civics is no longer taught in American public schools. Another thing that isn't taught in the public schools anymore, is the comparison of various forms of government. Let's take the form of government that the Left is desperately trying to impliment in America in their plan to eventually drive the US into the slavery of Communism. That tool is Socialism. There are many forms of Socialism. One form is the one that has taken hold in the upper and upper middleclass. It's the concept of Fabian Socialism. Many in the upper classes are guilt-ridden, because of their success. This is where the Fabians were smart. They preyed on that guilt. The movement came out of England in the latter part of the 1800s. The Fabian Socialists knew that it would be much easier to spread their influence among the children and wives of the wealthy and the socially prominent. They also knew that Socialist movements tended to spring from the middle and upper classes rather than the working class. Former Harvard teaching fellow, FBI agent, and broadcaster Dan Smoot wrote, "Since the end of WWI, communists and other socialists have worked harmoniously together for their common cause - by setting up fronts with names and stated purposes which appeal to the reformist, uplifting urge of do-gooders. The deception enabled socialists to draw Americans with repected names into socialist fronts. It also created a tremendous lobby for unconstitutional federal programs. Socialists and communists support federal programs which require taxing and spending by the federal government, in defiance of constitutional limitations, because this gives them appeal as advocates of welfare for the downtrodden." In another words, The Fabian Socialists, working in tandem with other Marxist groups have subverted the upper classes through guilt. Communists worked on gaining control of the labor unions and the working classes at the same time the Fabians began to influence the spouses and children of the wealthy industrialists through guilt and the promise of being eternally lazy. This is one of the reasons why many in the idle trust fund financed upper middle class, and wealthy classes have a strong leaning toward Socialism. They feel guilty and they are lazy. They also know that Socialism won't affect their lifestyles. It will only negatively affect people that work for a living. This means that they can maintain the status quo, while at the same time, think that they are doing something to improve humanity, by further perpetuating a never ending cycle of dependency on the government by the underclasses. Socialist Antonio Gramsci told his followers before his death in 1938 that they were to "conquer America, not by fighting in the streets, but by infiltrating its churches, schools, and politics." This is exactly what has happened. The United Council of Churches regularly subscribes to a Left Wing ideology. Our schools have become indoctrination centers for Socialist and Communist ideology. The Democratic Party resembles little of its former patriotic self. Left Wing money, is big money. The Fabian Socialists knew where the money would come from to finance Socialism. It would come from Old Money. These are the families that own the news media. They are the endowing families of our colleges and universities. They are the patrons of the arts who endow our orchestras, opera companies, and dance companies. They are also very much in maintaining the status quo. They will reluctantly tollerate so called "New Money," because it's money, but they are not about to extend an engraved invitation to their inner circles. The have no problem with Socialism, because it keeps them insulated from competition to their lifestyle from the masses. The more controls there are over the economy, the harder it is for people to get ahead. The rich are the only ones that can afford Socialism, and the rich liberals know this. Accordingly, they make damn well sure that their money is sheltered in off shore accounts that shield themselves from taxes and the US's finance laws. They have stacked the deck, so that the programs that they want to force on the rest of us, won't affect them. Do rich conservatives do the same thing? Of course they do. They flaunt the fact that they put their money in the same off shore funds that the Liberals "pretend" they don't invest in. Rich conservatives make no apology for being rich. They wear their Capitalism on their sleeves, rather than hiding it behind elaborate money laundering schemes while denouncing the Capitalism, and the stock portfolios containing Blue Chip and Defense Contractor stock funds that the Left is also invested in up to their eyebrows. I don't mind people getting rich. I love it. It shows that the American system works. I also don't have a problem with Liberals who practice what they preach. I had an Environmental Biology professor in college who lived in a modest home with solar technology, which was beginning to emerge at the time; rode a bicycle to work, unless weather conditions prevented it; and owned one car...a mid-size station wagon that was a mult-use vehicle for him and his family. He was not a phony. With people like that, despite the fact that I may disagree with their positions, I will have the utmost respect for them. They abide by the tenents that they would like to see the rest of us live by. They lead by example. For the Marxist Far Left that is rolling in money, let me give you some advice: Practice what you preach. If you despise Corporate America, don't invest in the stock market. Put your money in a savings account and keep your mouth shut about the low rate of return. After all, you hate the rich, so why become one yourself? Remain poor. Then you will have something in common with the people that you claim the Republicans opress, while you opine about it in your million dollar homes. Don't think that taking the moral high ground allows you to tool around town in your BMW, Rolls Royce, or Chevy Surburban, while you condemn others for driving SUVs. If Barbara Streisand was so concerned about the environment, she wouldn't run up twelve thousand dollar water bills watering the lawn on her five residence home for two. Why does hate America and Capitalism MIT professor Noam Chomsky own millions of dollars in real estate investments, millions of dollars in stock portfolios, accept hundreds of thousands of dollars in Defense Department research grants and charge twelve thousand dollars a pop in speaking fees when he's on the lecture circuit? Why does Princeton University professor Cornel West, who just went down to Venezuela to meet with their Communist dictator Hugo Sanchez and condemn America and the Bush Adminstration, also own millions of dollars in real estate, have a mid-level six figure salary from the university, and make upwards of two million dollars a year in speaking fees, while sheltering his money in off shore accounts to hide his income from the IRS? Why does the Michael Moore Foundation trade and own, or have owned, defense contractor stocks including that evil company Haliburton? Why does Moore also own millions of dollars in real estate, and only have his foundation give the absolute minimum amount to charity in order to retain it's non-profit tax free status? Listen to Ted Kennedy fulminate about how oil companies are raping the public, and that corporations are the master poluters in the universe, with President Bush being ant-Green, while he took measures to prevent a windmill farm off the coast of Cape Cod, because the windmill farm would have been visible from his family compound. It also would have been right in the middle of his favorite sailing area. In addition, the Kennedy families main business holding company is incorporated on the island of Fiji, so that they don't have to pay any taxes. This is from the man who want's to roll back the Bush tax cuts, because the so called rich need to start paying their fair share. In addition, how about the Kennedy families ownership of two Texas oil companies? Is Kennedy oil good oil and Mobil Exxon bad oil? Then again, is this just another example of Rich Liberal hypocracy? Again, if you despise Corporate America, don't invest in it. If you think people should pay more taxes, don't put your money in off shore accounts, and don't take the Mortgage Income Tax Deduction. Use Form 1040 EZ. If you are against private ownership of property, don't own real estate. That will solve two problems at once...you'll pay more taxes and won't own property. Don't claim to be Green while you tool around in an SUV and live in a three thousand square foot or larger home. Live in a high rise apartment next to a bus line or a subway stop.Then you won't even need a car. That way you can practice the Collectivism that you want to force on the rest of us. Don't be the pot calling the kettle black. So how do we stop the Left from taking down America? We don't outlaw them. That would be un-American.We render them impotent by exposing their glaring hypocracy, and then start rolling back their agenda of failure that they have been instituting in this country for the last four generations. First let's start with education. It's going to take a couple of generations, but let's restore the education standards in the public schools that we had until the "dumbing down" started in the 1960s. This has to be strongly implemented in the inner cities, and in the rural poor areas like Appalachia and on the Indian reservations in order to reduce the size of the American underclass. The underclass is not just an African-American problem. Throwing more money at the problem is not going to fix it either. All that will do is fund more programs that don't work, and increase the salaries of the people that are messing things up to begin with. Teachers' College faculty need to stop embracing John Dewey's Communism, and start training teachers to develop the individual to his or her potential, rather than training young minds into a collectivist mentality. The system is broken, and needs a complete overhaul from the Department of Education on down. In fact, eliminate the Department of Education, and return control of the public schools to the local school boards. Nowhere in the US Constitution is their any mention of a Department of Education. If that's not possible and the Federal Government is too entrenched in the education business, then bring back tracking and implement standardized tests that show real results in math, English, the sciences, US History, and Civics.Get rid of values oriented questions on federal standardized tests. Furthermore, make the tests difficult, requiring teachers to teach real curricula, and not some watered down excuse laden program of failure. We are in a global economy, and we need to have the human resources to compete against the rest of the world. If we we are going to be the biggest dog on the porch, which we are, we need to be the best dog too. Next, make English the official language of the United States. Election ballots, drivers' license applications and tests, and any other official government correspondence or programs should only be conducted in English. Levels of English proficiency also need to be required for a Green Card, and a higher level of proficiency for citizenship. The reason why the Left is against this, is because if you can't communicate with the majority of society, you will be trapped in the underclass that the Left needs in order to perpetuate the Socialist racketeering, which is what has become of the Social Services industry. There is big money to be made by "do good" Liberals keeping the poor in their place, and they are very good at doing just that. In addition, people on the public dole need to be held accountable for their behavior and the use of the public funds that we taxpayers give to them. People on welfare that are capable of working, need to be in job training programs if needed, and performing at least ten hours per week in community service projects like picking up trash along the highway. I know, that's demeaning. That's the idea. You don't want people on the dole to become comfortable being on the dole. It needs to be unpleasant in order to get them to want to become productive. In addition, public funds for social programs are to be used for food, clothing, shelter, and the incidentals needed for living like soap and toilet paper and such. They are not to be used for illegal drugs, tobacco products, or alcohol. People on welfare need to be randomly tested for those substances and if found positive, be charged with misuse of government funds and sent to prison upon conviction. Wait you say, smoking and drinking are legal. My feeling is not when you are on welfare. If you want to do drugs, smoke and drink, get a job and pay for your dope, cigarettes and booze with your own money, not someone else's. Also, the racketeering of the Social Services industries need to be exposed. Any program or behavior that helps perpetuate the underclass while enriching the people in charge and the pockets of corrupt city officials needs to be dealt with. Liberals hysterically claim that Conservatives, especially evil, Nazi Repubicans get rich on the backs of the poor. Well, let them set the example for the rest of us. Millionaire poverty pimps like Jesse Jackson and the Rev. Al Sharpton, and phony rich Marxists like Howard Zinn, Noam Chomsky, Cornel West, and others of their bring down America ilk, need to be exposed for the hypocrites that they are and ridiculed into oblivion. They could also be neutralized if parents refused to send their children to the colleges where these miscreants teach. Colleges are businesses, and if there is enough of a substantial loss in funding, out of control Communist faculty members will be put in their place or eliminated from their positions. As a further note, if they hate this country as much as they do, let them leave. Rather than living the lifestyles of the rich capitalists that they so deplore, let them go be paupers in Cuba, rather than wealthy Marxists biting the free market hand that feeds them. Last but not least, is an out of control mainstream news media, that is the propaganda tool of those take down America Marxists. While dissent and debate of the issues are paramount to the functioning of a free society, the Media have a responsibility to help keep us safe as a nation. They have a moral and legal obligation to not publish leaked classified information that undermine our country's national security. We are at war whether we like it or not. We can debate forever whether or not the reasons for war were legitimate or not, but that's beside the point. The fact is, we are at war, and when a nation is at war, there have to be enhanced security measures in effect to help keep that nation safe from the enemy. Leaking classified information is treason. Publishing that leaked information is just as treasonous, and the penalties for such need to be severe. The problem is, the apathetic public won't hold the Media accountable for their actions. We need to start hitting the Media where it hurts, in the pocketbook. If the press and mainstream TV won't stop cherrypicking the facts to advance the Far Left's agenda, we need to boycott their advertizers until they start taking some responsibility for their actions. Legally, they have a right to slant the news any which way they wish. Legally, we also have the right to refuse to read it, listen to it, or tollerate it. This great nation of ours is at a crossroads. Do we survive as the beacon of freedom to the rest of the world, or do we completely collapse from within into a morass of self-destruction only to be permanently enslaved by billionaire Marxist Socialists, who are determined that we are to become their servants under a world wide plantation style government controlled by the UN? The choice is ours. We need to stop the Communist Fifth Column, which controls our education system, our news media, many in our judicial system, and many of our elected officials, before they completely destroy the American way of life that we enjoy, and which is the envy of the rest of the world. There are two ways of generating wealth. One is creating wealth. The other way is redistribution of wealth. Creating is contructive. Redistribution is destructive. One is Capitalism and the other is Socialism. Rather than taking from the US and giving to Africa, let's develop Africa's economic and agricultural infratructure so they don't need foreign aid. . Foreign aid, which is subsequently siphoned off by their corrupt government officials, doesn't work. The officials get rich, and everyone else stays poor. We need to teach the farmers how to farm, not just give them food. Here in America, let's stop making excuses for the social ills that exist in our country. Let's stop making excuses for why Blacks can not succeed and instead, let's let them show with pride, to the rest of us, that they can prosper without quotas, Affirmative Action, and set aside programs. The only people benefiting from Affirmative Action are the Race War Poverty Pimps and their racketeering schemes cooked up with corrupt city officials, who are making millions of dollars exploiting the fine men, women, and children, that make up the Black population in America. Enough is enough. It's time to take control and start kicking ass and taking names.
