• Young Madison Socialist Reveals Popular ‘Noodles & Company‘ Restaurant Is Actually Harsh ’Dictatorship’

  March 1, 2011 at 2:58am

  I’ve been listening and reading comments like these from both sides of the battle and there is nothing new under the sun. Nimrod was the first socialist and spouted the same kind of socialist rhetoric. He was a community organizer of sorts, held the people together with materialism and the “sharing is caring” mentality, making each person think they were equal and needed to build this great society. Ya, that didn’t work out so well as I recall. The trouble is this, and it is age old, whether you believe secular or Ussher’s account of history, the road to hell is always paved with good intentions. There is a red thread that weaves it’s way throughout history, when ever people tried socialism it failed. Like a toddler, trying from every angle under the sun to reach a forbidden goody only to be told, “No!” It won’t work, give up the insanity! God’s way is socialistic in a way. Hear me out; it only works if every human living in that society at any given time is completely perfect and good and knows everything in the whole universe and always obeys the God who is provider and sustainer and after all that they choose to submit themselves and serve each other. And after all that, everyone would have to be equal in mental and physical capacities. Since this is never going to happen, since we are individuals and the choice is given to us, not forced on us, this is really a spiritual battle to the core. It was Satan who wanted to force us to be good, to be charitable, to share our wealth, to rebel against those in authority, to doubt universal goodness and truth.
  I hear what that young man is saying, but my eyes just gloss over, I stop hearing what he’s saying and I look into his soul, I look into all of their souls, screaming, “Me, me, me, I want what’s due to me, I don’t want to give, I want, I need, oh, I feel guilt for thinking that so I‘ll make other’s think that, I am afraid of ambition, I am afraid that I might become the best version of me and all I was intended to be.” Their eyes are hollow, haven’t you ever noticed. I get the feeling that he’d wrong me if he got the chance and it is all in his body language. I don’t think I could really depend on someone like that if I really needed lifesaving help. I never see any true joy shining in their eyes, I never feel a true sense of kindness, graciousness, charity, or servitude from them. I never sense love in their eyes, mouth, facial expressions, or even rhetoric. I just see anger, insecurity, malevolence, intolerance, and insolence expressed in, elitist, wordy, intimidating, insulting and dogmatic ways with disregard to logic. There is truth mixed up in what they are saying, but that doesn’t make what they are saying, how it is said, and what they intend to do about it, the truth.
  I find it irresponsible that he touts that the history his group is teaching is correct and infallible as well as warm and fuzzy toward his agenda and side of the battle. Indeed wasn’t it progressives who started up racism again with Wilson? When these types of people talk, no matter if they are middle class workers or youths who balk at any authority, I feel like a soulless, creepy, Easter bunny is trying to persuade me that his take on the world is right. It just isn’t logical and it just goes against everything my gut tells me.
  I think capitalism is like a gun, it isn’t the gun that kills because to murder you must be a human and not a soulless, created tool. Capitalism is a conceptual tool and when wielded by greedy people it is very dangerous. I think that it is “stinkin thinkin” that is the problem. There is not one person who is good, we all fall short, sometimes men and women rise up who are moral and they lead us in golden times and our land and people prosper, but then someone comes along and tries to change the script, people fall asleep and forget God, then they try to reinvent God and rewrite history and the Bible and put God in a box and put Him on a shelf only to take out one or two days a year.
  People this is all just symptoms of a dark spiritual battle. Just because you might not believe in evil, the Devil, God and Christ and the Bible does not mean that these things won’t affect you. Things are only going to get worse and either prepare and find comfort in God or leave your head in the sand, just get out of our way so we can let God use us to heal the land and move on. I don’t want to look back, but I want America to be America. I want every person who lives here to buy into the American Dream and ideology and if you don’t go back or go to another country. We have a right to our own country. We have a right to have given even the Natives a place here where they could have benefited from our protection instead of being disregarded. But it is what it is. The founders were on to something. Why can‘t they see that America won’t be the country they love, and they‘ll hate what they create once it’s set in place. They are not reading the history that is out there, just cutting and pasting what they want. I am so angry! I sit and look at my children and just shake my head, because I can‘t even tell them if in ten years we will even live in a home or if we’ll be scrapping it out on the street. I don‘t know at this point if I’ll be beheaded for not forsaking Christ in America of all places.
  Unions have ruined my life and yet, my family is enslaved to one. Freedom and Union in the same sentence, let alone the same exhaled words hinting that the two are one and the same or are compatible, from the interview dialogue of a union member, would be an oxymoron in my opinion.
  No, I am not angry so much as thankful. Thankful that these enemies have been flushed out from their hiding places so we know who and what we are fighting now. A smile creeps across my face because great things are coming our way and gratitude and humility are all I can think of. A group, purified by the fire, humbled by each others service, will see the good that will come out of this.

• ‘Shut Up and Be a Good Little Socialist’: Seattle Policeman Blasts City‘s New ’Social Justice Initiative’

  In reply to Iam4EnoughALREADY.

  It reeks of Saul Alinski, here’s a quote from an article about a book of his. Radicals, Awake! In 1939 Saul D. Alinsky turned his back on a brilliant criminological career in favor of a life in the Jungle—the slums that lie back of Chicago’s stockyards. It was his simple faith that if leaders of the fragmented sections of any U.S. community could be got to sit down together and talk or participate in common action, democracy would be reborn.

  Said he: “As I looked into the vast chasm that divides the mass of the people and our middle class attempts at charity, I realized that the only way out is a democratically informed, active, participating people who have confidence in themselves and their fellowmen, a People’s Organization, whose program is limited only by the horizon of humanity itself.”

  Neither Conservatives nor Liberals, he felt, were suitable messengers of the new evangel. (”Time need not be wasted on Conservatives, since time itself will take care of them.“ ”A Liberal is [a person] who puts his foot down firmly on thin air.”) Society’s crisis called for Radicals. The first part of Reveille for Radicals is a paean to the Tom Paine type of U.S. Radical. But even Radicals must first be awakened: “Deep in the cradle of organized labor America’s Radicals restlessly toss in their sleep—but they sleep.”
