Rambling On....

Cass Sunstein, chosen by President Obama to head the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, could jeopardize your ability to hunt, eat meat or have pets. According to this article, Sunstein "has a secret aim to push a radical animal-rights agenda in the White House. Sunstein supports outlawing sport hunting, giving animals the legal right to file lawsuits, and using government regulations to phase out meat consumption."

I don't know about you, but to me, the title, "Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs" sounds like something out of Hitler's Germany! No... wait... that was the "Ministry of Public Enlightenment". If I remember correctly, that particular minister also pursued radical agendae, gun confiscation, etc. Socialists by any other name, are still socialists. I seem to remember in my 1960's History classes that Socialism and Communism were not desireable politics. How times change... And, to think, my grandparents left Eastern Europe for the USA because of Socialists & Communists like Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, etc. And, now, the people of the USA have elected a Socialist to the office of President.

Yes... Barack Obama is a Socialist. Remember one of his campaign promises was to "redistribute wealth". Well, guess what Einstein, Socialist systems want to redistribute wealth from those of greater means to those of lesser means. Lesser means... ya... those who don't want to amount to anything and those who do not want to work for anything... those who live on the public dole.

So, other than redistributing wealth, what are some other common symptoms of Socialism? How about:

  • The government owning industries and businesses
  • Higher taxes
  • People working for the state, rather than private industry

Right now, the government is investing tons of money into banks, businesses, etc. They are calling them "loans". However, if one defaults on the loan, doesn't ownership usually go to the lien holder? In this case, the lien holder is the federal government.

Taxes going up is a given. How else are the feds going to pay for all their social programs and "redistribute wealth"? Duh. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that one out. Look out small business owners...
