WHY SOCIALISM IS NOT
& CAN'T BE AMERICAN!
By Larry O'Hara
People who see Socialism and being American as the same thing are sadly
and totally mistaken.
In fact, ideologically there is no similarity whatsoever between the two. Here's why:
Socialism is total rule by dictatorial government, the same as communism. With government deciding everything and the people deciding nothing--totally subservient!
The concept of America is just the exact opposite. With Liberty and justice for all. And all aspects of government decided by the people or their proxies (representatives).
Socialism is totalitarian. Total rule from the top--with no representation by the people!
America is ruled from the grassroots level--NOT the top! With the people having TOTAL say. Not rulers!
Socialism is a centuries-old method whereby Control Freaks grab power over as many people as possible. And power over as much money-yielding government as possible.
Basically, Socialism is greed. Pure and simple.
Socialism uses the premise of equality through equal shares to delude people into giving up total control. When, in fact, Socialism creates a ruling class. Period!
America was created to enable every person to be able to create their own way of life--without being dictated to. Without being ruled by others.
In reality, there is NO gray area. You either have NO SAY under Socialism.
Or TOTAY SAY under America's form of people rule.
Socialism is like an ant bed, with all the ants serving a ruling Queen.
Americans are just the opposite, having "choice" as to who holds power, and for how long.
Illusions are the tools that Socialists use to sell their bag of tricks style of government to the people.
Just like a spider creates a web to capture its victims.
The Socialists bag of tricks are usually promises that no sane government can logically fulfill. In other words, fantasies.
America is based upon Capitalism. The grow as you work and earn type of progress. With freedom for all of the participants.
History has shown that anytime Socialism takes over a country, dictatorships soon follow. And along with dictatorships comes oppression of the people. The general public is restricted and told what it can and cannot do.
And with oppression comes poverty, sickness and death. No chance for self improvement.
All because too many people listened to and fell for fantasy claims from power-hungry Socialists. Also known as Control Freaks.
There's an old saying: Be careful what you wish for. It also should say: Be careful who you vote for.
Because, who you vote for really can destroy your whole life!

A LESSON FOR LIBERALS:
LIFE ISN'T FANTASYLAND!
By Larry O'Hara
The giveaway freebies of liberalism are fantasies that eventually become empty promises.
Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Teach him HOW to fish and he eats for a lifetime.
This proverb is a simple metaphor. But it explains the logic of working for anything.
Whereas giveaways are useful--if they are real charity--they often create what is known as a welfare state. In which people become so dependent on handouts that they make a life of bumming.
This is what happens as a result of liberalism, aka communism. People using people for whatever reason or ulterior motive.
The opposite ideology--conservatism--teaches financial independence. Freedom. Liberty. Self accomplishment. A work ethic that does NOT depend upon others for handouts.
America was born out of pilgrims fleeing high taxation.
Both Conservative and Liberal governments use taxation to operate. The BIG difference is how the tax money is spent.
Example: Liberals want to forgive student loans. Conservatives prefer that students pay off loans to teach them responsibility.
Conservatism teaches responsible spending, whereas Liberal spending is more often irresponsible!
In addition, Conservatives believe in America first. The belief based upon making America great. Then help others out of prosperity.
Liberals on the other hand believe in doing the opposite--helping others NOW--even if our country is deep in debt. Irresponsible spending that eventually destroys an economy.
Liberal government even hands out billions in foreign aid. Whereas Conservatives are less likely to spend so irresponsibly.
The choices: Build personal independence (conservatism), or let government foot the bill for dependence upon socialist programs.
And, when government foots the bill, hard-working, honest taxpayers wind up having to pay for government's irresponsible giveaways.
Next comes the inevitable question:
If Conservatism is so good and Liberalism is so bad, then how do Liberals get elected?
The answer is simple: Liberal candidates promise to pay for this, that and the other for one reason:
To get elected!
They even make promises that they know they cannot deliver. Anything that gets them elected.
Conservative candidates do just the opposite. Run on platforms of responsible government.
Conservative programs most often are based upon lower taxes with more jobs and gross national profit.
The Conservative Trump administration cut taxes, reduced unemployment, and built the greatest economy the world has ever seen.
Liberal administrations historically have done just the opposite--increased the national debt to frightening proportions.
Irresponsible spending is why people and nations go broke. It's as simple as that.
There's an old saying: One step forward and two steps backward.
This applies to now. What good does it do to take one step forward with a Conservative administration, only to follow it with two steps backward with a Liberal administration?
Answer: Bigger debt.
America is caught up in a vicious cycle whereby Liberals spend faster than Conservatives can increase the economy.
Why? Because of voters who want something for nothing. Which is why they fall victims to irresponsible Liberal promises.
And why honest taxpayers keep having to foot the bill.
