Connundrums

of Socialism in The United States of America

America is capitalist and greedy—yet half of the population is subsidized.

Half the population is subsidized—yet they think they are victims.

They think they are victims—yet their representatives run the government.

Their representatives run the government—yet the poor keep getting poorer.

The poor keep getting poorer—yet they have things that people in other countries only dream about.

They have things that people in other countries only dream about—yet they want America to be more like those other countries.

These short sentences tell you a lot about the direction of our current government and cultural environment:

They advised us NOT to judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics (and I agree), but they encourage us to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Both are serious threats to us all. What should we do?

We often hear that Social Security is going to run out of money. But we never hear about welfare or food stamps running out of money. What’s interesting is the first group “worked” for their money, but the second didn’t. What’s up with that???

They are cutting national military and local police budgets and failing miserably to uphold or enforce our laws. But they’re not stopping the flow of or payments or benefits to illegal aliens. Why? Why? Why?

If you do not take an interest in the affairs of your government, then you are doomed to live under the rule of fools.
