There Is No Free Lunch
I'll never forget a certain 6th grade social sciences teacher who taught us that some people were good at growing corn while others were good at raising cattle and by trading corn for cattle each of their lives were improved and their standards of living rose and that this was called capitalism. Because trading corn for cows was cumbersome, they invented money which represented the mutually agreed-upon fair trade value of their labor. At that time my Memorial Elementary School and the Euclid, Ohio community and public school system was pumping out top-notch and productive members of society by the thousands but we didn't think of it as such. We were just ordinary middle class people doing what ordinary middle class people did at that time- Rise to the best of our abilities. This process of rising to the best of your abilities, repeated a billion times a day across our nations towns, cities, states, and regions is literally what built our nation and gave us the high standard of living, quality of life, and comfort that we enjoy today. In retrospect, a school system and community like that in today's America can only be found in exclusive pockets and at great expense. Today's Euclid school system and community, like so many across the nation, has radically changed. Its predominantly gangsta thug males and single teen moms learn, in the rare moments when they do make some efforts at learning, the common theme found across today's U.S. that the hard working guy making a good living is keeping you down and the government owes you both essential services and a living. They are taught socialism. So with the power of money and capitalism comes the danger of democratic socialism- the idea that you can vote yourself somebody else's money and thereby vote yourself their *labor* effectively reserecting that millenia old scourge of direct slavery in its modern indirect variant.
The followers of Barrack Obama and the democratic party in general, plus our now hooked on entitlements middle-class are not being taught the incessant warnings of the late great economist Milton Friedman- "There is no free lunch!" This time around the disease is so ingrained and the government programs and spending are so numerous and huge with so many helpless dependents voting for their survival that another Ronald Reagan may not ever get enough votes to save us. In contrast to America's rise up, the vote yourself somebody else's money so you can have what they have *without working for it*, repeated a billion times a day across our nations towns, cities, states, and regions is literally destroying our nation and will soon melt away our high standard of living, quality of life, and comfort that we enjoy today. Barrack Obama's socialism and his democratic party's socialism is robbing us of our precious God-given and inalienable human and economic freedoms as it plunges us down its certain tunnel of darkness. And when our military is gone, cashiered because people don't want to pay for a $120 doctor visit twice a year, the entire remaining free world will go down the tunnel of darkness too as the world's currently restrained tyrannical enemies of democracy suddenly find themselves unopposed and unrestrained. Many formerly free people all across the world will rediscover real injustice and real misery which was commonplace a mere 100 years ago. This is quite a price to pay for socialism's intoxicating elixir of greed which whispers into the air "somebody else can feed, clothe, house, and pay you free money too". As Greece burns, an all engines stopped Europe decays, creaks and groans, the Soviet Union sits under its tombstone, Cubans suffer, and North Koreans starve while taking bullets in their backs to escape, it is clear the Cold War is far from over and in fact it appears the wrong side is decisively winning by convincing so many millions that its evil does not exist.

Fast and Furious Fail
The administration we have in place today, as with all liberals, are extremely anti-gun. So, what happened? Well, let's see: The US allowed AK-47s to cross the border into Mexico. Yes, they knowingly allowed them to get into Mexico. The program was supposed to be a sting operation by tracing were the guns went. What could go wrong? I just don't think that was a very good idea, nor do I think that was the truth. I think they purposely let the guns get into Mexico, knowing they would be used for murder. Then when it was found out that American guns were being used by the drug cartels to kill people, this administration was going to shout from the mountain tops "See! We need gun control!" It didn't work. One of our border agents was recently murdered. The weapon used? One of the guns from Operation Fast and Furious. Now that would have been perfect to make the call for gun control but.....there is a whistle-blower. He has stated that we were in fact allowing these guns to get into Mexico on purpose, that this was NOT a case of not enough gun control. Hmmm. What's scary is that both the President and AG Eric Holder have stated that they had no idea this operation was going on and they certainly did not authorize it. Really? So we have rogue ATF agents creating their own sting operations without permission...letting AK-47s into Mexico? The Prez didn't know anything about it? I feel safer now!

“A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship.”

When Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and Obamacare Go Broke
When Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and Obamacare go broke and the fedgov can no longer borrow enough $ to feed the "I'm entitled to other people's free money" black hole, do you really think the fedgov is going to throw its arms up in the air, shrink it's size and power, stop redistributing productive people's incomes, insist people sustain themselves, and let privatization and free markets fix the mess? I've got news for you. Our ever-expanding government blob only moves in one direction- bigger. And when we completely run out of other people's borrowed money, you can expect large nationalizations, socializations, and direct government control and rationing of housing, food, and the entire healthcare industry from birth till death and from A to Z. With certainty you can expect the fedgov to nationalize, socialize, and redistribute all retirement savings such as 401k's and other personal retirement savings as it scrambles to provide for the care and feeding of the soon to be "retired" mass of unproductive helpless government program dependents it has created who not only didn't save one single penny for their own retirement, but destroyed large swaths of their section 8 neighborhoods. "Universal" government provided retirement income for all is another Europe-modeled "liberal" dream which they will impose at the first available moment resulting in even further mass redistribution of wealth from the productives to the unproductives effectively taking away the upwardly mobile middle class' last remaining ability to better themselves and get ahead with hard work. "Liberals" have only just begun inflicting their carnage in their zeal to transform America. This is why it is impossible while they sit in appreciable power to even talk about averting our certain looming fiscal disaster. Our debt crisis is going to inflict one of the greatest destructive storms and loss of freedom in all of human history. And right here in the United States of America no less. This should, however, be of no surprise. Socialists have destroyed every civilization they have ever gotten their hands on, why would we be any different?

If you don't like mandate, earn less money.
“So it’s a penalty on earning a certain amount of income and self insuring ...So I guess one could say...someone doesn’t need to earn that much income." Holy cow! This is what socialism looks like, and it is in the White House. Social justice, redistribution of wealth, single-payer health care, all of it. Get this mother effer out of there in 2012! Please!
