Socialism’s Effect
Filed Under Government, Ideology, Politics, Socialism
We have been force-fed socialism for so long, that we are now ready to believe it is a good thing. I heard some liberal idiot on the radio yesterday going on about how we should be seizing oil company profits because they make too much money.
Does he even begin to get an idea of how idiotic this is?! What is the matter with these people. Of course everything is rosy if it’s a favorite company, or a “green” corporation. Why is the oil industry the only one targeted for confiscation?
Let’s take Utah as an example. In Utah, we love green jell-o. We love it to the point that there is more green jell-o sold here than in any other state in the country. The Jell-o company is raking in huge profits in Utah. But you don’t hear Utah legislators calling for the seizure of Jell-o’s profits. You know why? Because Jell-o doesn’t threaten the liberal agenda to grab absolute power. Oil does.
How? It’s really very simple. People who can travel are free. And the farther away from home we can travel, the freer we feel. And the freer we feel, the more likely we are to get involved in government. The current slow-down in oil production is a blessing to the liberals. It means that food production will slow, the price of everything will rise, and the less discretionary money you have to spend, the less free you will feel, and the easier you are to control.
Socialism is the nationalization of the means of production. In the US we are not socialist yet, but the liberal Democrats have devised a way to control most of the economy by refusing to do one thing–agree to allow the next refinery to be built. That’s really what’s slowing oil production in America. And one person is behind the stonewalling, Nancy Pelosi.
