| "One Nation" rally attracts a noisy, smelly collectivist rabble |
The leftwing astroturf agitator rabble known as one nation took place in our nation's capital yesterday (I know, I hadn't heard of it either. I learned of it from Left Blogistan denizen Sue)
Collectivist complainers failed to get the crowds they expected. Capital Police at first thought it was a drug deal going down.
Bullhorn Buffoon Al Sharpton and bombastic arsonist Ed Schultz headlined the event, entertaining the hundreds who were bussed in by collectivist organizers.
Glenn Beck Lives in the Left's Brain, Rent Free, 24/7!
Organizers claimed they had as many participants as Beck's rally. But Saturday's crowds were less dense and didn't reach as far to the edges as they did during Beck's rally. (Yahoo News)I did hear mention that the crowd was slightly larger than the set-up crew for the Glenn Beck Rally...
AP started a controversy, claiming "thousands," not "hundreds" showed up. We'll never know, because the caliginous klatch of collectivistas climbed into a VW microbus and left before reporters could get a count.
WASHINGTON (AP) - Thousands of people flocked to the Lincoln Memorial for a rally Saturday organized by labor and civil rights groups, hoping to show support for the Democratic agenda in the face of expected GOP election gains next month. (AP News My Way)It was a socialist and communist event
I pointed out to the sweaty hordes in Left Blogistan that numerous self-admitted socialist and communist organizers were providing the astroturf for this rally. Only Sue gave an honest answer of, "So What?" God bless her, she's the only honest one over there. "What's wrong with socialism?" was her ripost.
My Response
What's wrong with Socialism? As Margaret Thatcher so brilliantly pointed out, eventually you will run out of other people's money.
It stifles personal initiative, removes sovereign choices from the individual and wrongly places them with central planning committees and bureaucrats who have no idea what each individual needs and has no business trying to find out.
Imagine a world where government didn't rob you of your self-sufficiency...
Imagine a world where you could start a business out of your house without jumping through a thousand fiery bureaucratic hoops. Imagine a world where the dollar holds its value because government can't manipulate it.
That would be a world where most of us could shift for ourselves and take care of our families and one another without looking to a ruling oligarchy for special favors.
Social Security Does Not Make Us Socialist
Some MSNBC person known as "ODonnel" claims we are all socialists because we have social security. He is historically ignorant. Socialism's roots go back to the early 1800's. Its hallmarks were opposition to established order, and hostility to private property, economic competition, and capitalism (a phrase coined by socialists). They were utopians with overly-simplistic "solutions" that completely ignored human nature and man's behavior in the market place across the span of the ages.
Simple programs to support the commonweal are not socialism. Pitching in our money to support public infrastructure is not socialism. Normal Americans just wish government wouldn't waste so much money in the process.
Loudmouth liberals also like to point out how even rock-ribbed conservatives like Ronald Reagan increased spending on social programs. Well, duh! We're a progressive nation and no single person, not even a president, can tear up an entrenched social contract singlehandedly.
Go to One Nation and see how many communist and socialist organizers sponsored their paltry non-event.
