To my fellow patriots,
Please tone down the personal attacks. Attack the philosophies not the people. Name-calling wins neither arguments nor friends. We must always remember that we have truth on our side. Ridicule is for the small minded or for those who, not willing to accept the truth, have nothing left (typical of socialism and communism). David K.’s immaturity, bigotry, and ignorance are self evident. Unfortunately, they are also typical results of the brainwashing which passes for education in today’s unconstitutional government schools.
Although Socialism and Communism are expensive, inefficient, unconstitutional, and always doomed to fail, that is not the primary reason to oppose them – though that alone is sufficient. The main objection to the socialistic system is that it does not fit reality. It has the wrong world view. The basic question is one of self ownership. Under Socialism the government owns everyone and, therefore, cares for everyone equally. Everyone is a slave to the State. But the State does not have the resources to provide for the people. Under Capitalism, everyone owns himself. A free person is responsible for looking out for himself and for helping those who, for circumstances beyond their control, need assistance. Many of us are Biblical Christians who believe that ultimately God owns us and has made us to be stewards of self and of the possessions He gives us. A voluntary Socialism can go with this as we freely give to God and to others.
