SOCIALISM, THE CREEPING CRUD

Socialism is the management of the many by the few. Socialism can be attained without the use of force. Divide, tax, and regulate will do the job. Force or the threat of force must be used to maintain this form of government once it is achieved. Socialism is a four-letter word, OBEY.

· Abortion, federal education programs, environmentalism, public health, guns, tobacco, and other political causes are the keys to socialism.

· Non Government Organizations, NGO's, that support abortion, federal education programs, environmentalism, and public health and that are against guns and tobacco receive billions in tax dollars each year. They started receiving this money about 25 years ago.

· The pro-abortion idiots, the environmental wackos, the anti-gun nuts, the public health gurus, the new education pedants, and the anti-tobacco zealots each prominently appeared in American society about 25 years ago. Their appearance and the doling of tax dollars is no coincidence.

· Each of these groups uses a technique called risk assessment, studies, designed to scare people, stir their emotions, and sway their minds. The risks are unprovable and technically impossible to disprove.

· Each employs propaganda. Propaganda is evident when you believe something is true that you would not normally believe.

· These groups are united in their goal, the socialization of America. The same people are behind each of these groups. Many have their names prominently displayed in Socialist registers.

We have sacrificed our right to life to the creeping socialist crud. We now live in a society where the life of an unborn child or an old or sick person is a political topic. Abortion was wrong 25 years ago. It was wrong 2,000 years ago. It is still wrong. Nothing has changed. If it was wrong 25 years ago then why do almost 50% of Americans believe it is all right today?

Our public education system has nose-dived to 21st when compared to other nations. 40 to 80 percent of the school day is now spent learning state sponsored socialist propaganda, race relations, environmental causes, sex education, and so on. How much time does your child actually spend learning the basic skills, reading writing, math, and science?

The creeping socialist crud has nationalized the tobacco industry. This is not significant to many. But if one carefully thinks about it then it becomes very significant. This action sets the stage for the nationalization of other industries, beer, wine, fatty food distributors, guns, cars, etc. This fascinating phenomenon shows just how powerful and persuasive propaganda can be. The things we are being told today about tobacco were not true 25 years ago. They were not true 500 years ago. There are no new scientific discoveries about tobacco. If you believe there are then give me a call. I have a bridge I would like to sell you.

Socialized Medicine is just around the corner. An attempt was made several years ago to nationalize the health industry. It failed. Did it? There are now over 160 million Americans enrolled in Health Maintenance Organizations, Managed Care. Who is managing it? Not you! The government is or will. Our public health industry has plunged us to 21st on the longevity scale with their diagnoses and prognoses. We still have the best health care facilities and medical personnel but shortages and rationing will soon be common place thanks to the creeping socialist crud.

How many items will be listed before we acknowledge that the creeping socialist crud is taking us over? How many groups have to become casualties before the creeping socialist crud gets to you? Guns may be next. The illegal implementation of the Kyoto environmental agreement may bring others to the front.

Pro-lifers, farmers, ranchers, smokers, lumbermen, gun owners, home schoolers, and anyone who believes in individual rights and choices must band together. A nation where we are told what to eat, drink, smoke, watch, say, buy, and listen to is a socialist one. Can prescribed needs for the soul be far behind? Together we can force Congress to stop funneling over 50 billion dollars a year to NGO's. Together we can force Congress to enforce existing laws that forbid granting tax dollars to NGO's and eliminate the government propaganda machine. Together we can stop the creeping socialist crud. There is a Jewish saying, "All Jews are responsible for one another". Revise this saying and state that all Americans are responsible for one another. We must stand and fight for each other even if we do not like some of the characteristics of the other groups. When a government of the people determines what is good for the people that government is no longer of the people.

Do nothing or continue to fight your individual battles and we will learn the true meaning of socialism,

CONFORM and OBEY.
