Are we becoming Socialists?

Posted in Politics with tags , on July 7, 2009 by theerivs

We just celebrated the birth of our nation. I love America, I love everything about America. Hell I don’t even want to visit other places I love it so much. There’s something weighing on my mind though, I don’t mean to sound alarmist, or like there’s some sort of conspiricy theory.  I think this country is slipping into Socialism.

What is Socialism?

“Socialism refers to any one of various theories of economic organization advocating state or cooperative ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods, and a society characterized by equal opportunities/means for all individuals with a more egalitarian method of compensation based on the full product of the laborer”   – Wikipedia

In other words it’s Communism’s nicer brother.

Lets take a look where we are headed.

The government keeps cracking down on us. We need to wear seatbelts, you should stop smoking, on holidays we have checkpoints to go through for “seat belt safety”, and you can’t do lines of a hookers ass. Our rights keep getting slowly taken away, one by one. The laws keep piling up. Coupled with the fact that the government has it’s hands on several institutions now like banking, and the auto industry.

This country was born of rebellion, and strife. Sure were a little more violent, a little more obese, a little more crazy about our guns, and trucks. You know what though, when shit hits the fan, I would rather stand with my fellow Americans then with anyone else. I think in times of crisis thats where we shine.

The world hates us, the left hate that, and want America to be just like Europe. In that agenda I fear for this country, I fear where this road is heading us.  One of these days the government will go to far, they will tax us a little too much, or put a rule upon us that goes a little too far. Thats the day I hop in a pickup truck with some good ole boys, and toss some proverbial tea into the harbor.

Where do you see this country in 10 years?
