Anti Socialist rant from a friend-lots of Ayn Rand

"Dear Elected Official Or is it now appropriate to just say comrade? A rhetorical question Where is my representation? I am a Vietnam Vet, Small Business Owner and a College Professor. I do not purchase anything I can not afford and I have always paid my bills, and always on time. I served my country and worked three jobs to save for the future. I risked everything to start my business. I provide jobs, I teach college in an effort to give back, and unlike others in our government, I pay my taxes. Now that we are becoming a Socialist country, I don't see anyone representing me. Ayn Rand in Atlas Shrugged was correct “The government now treats the incompetent individuals who did not do the right thing, who purchased houses, and cars they could not afford, and the businesses who wreck their companies, as victims, while treating those resourceful business owners who manage to make a profit and feed families as recipients of illegitimate gains”. We are actually living Rand’s Atlas Shrugged, Orwell’s 1984, and Animal Farm and Huxley’s Brave New World and I don’t see you, Mr. elected official, doing anything to stop it. I think it is time to get angry and if your fellow representatives are going to spew the mantra of socialism then shouldn't we start calling them what they are , SOCIALIST, or could it be you are one as well? Why do I never see those elected to represent me on CNN, Fox, and talk radio calling these people Socialist? Oh, we occasionally hear you talk about the problems with “the other party”, are you kidding me I am talking about all parties. Why are you guys so scared of using that word socialist? Why don't I see hard questions such as "Who and how is this debt going to be paid? And please don’t insult me with quotes such as “We need to spend less”, you never have and you never will. Or is it that you are really proud of a $11.6 trillion debt and a $1.7 trillion deficit, and let us not forget the $500 billion in interest each year while all along taking your salary and all the life-long benefits of being a representative of the people and not to mention being exempt from the same laws you pass for us. Why are you not screaming about stealing my money and paying yourself a salary of $174,000 plus benefits and your favorite secret of all; the Capitol's physician, where a $2 million-per-year staff of nearly 20 doctors, nurses and technicians are at your service? Wow! I bet you are really worried about socialized medicine. Why are you not screaming about the “New Black Panthers” being allowed to destroy our democracy by intimidating people at the voting booth and getting away with it? Could it be you are spending too much time enjoying and protecting all the benefits and power you have elected for yourselves? All right, let me see if your response is something like this, “Well I voted against that when it was in committee, or we need to do a government study on that very subject”. I know politicians have a PhD in spin but please, for once in your life do something right and SCREAM about what is happening or at least admit that you prefer socialism over free enterprise and Laissez-fair capitalism. At the end of the day you had better remember that all this money comes from the profits of businesses. If capitalism is the golden goose and profits are the golden egg, why are you allowing the destruction of the golden goose by the implementation of socialism? You can take every corrupt business in the United States add them all together and they are not even in the same hemisphere as the corruption, waste, and arrogance of our own elected officials, a.k.a. the U.S. Government, yes I am talking about you. If you don’t believe this get up off your lazy butt, start you own business, and give someone a job and stop stealing from those who do. Your vote is not enough; we need to hear you scream from the rafters of the unjust direction the Socialists are taking us in. Do you care about our sovereignty? Do you care about democracy? Do you care about jurisprudence? Do you care about the flood of Illegals? Do you care about free enterprise? Do you care about the collapse of the dollar? Do you care about the coming inflation? Do you care about higher taxes for everyone? Do you care about anything other than your own powerbase and the benefits you have elected for yourself? Where is my representation? Apparently many individuals are having trouble understanding what socialism actually is. Socialism is: A political system of communal ownership: a political theory or system in which the means of production and distribution are controlled by the people and operated according to equity and fairness rather than free market principles. This is what you have allowed to happen in the United States such as the communal ownership of the auto industry, banking industry, housing industry, education, and health care. Let us put this in a way so everyone can understand. Socialism is stealing our hard earned money and giving it to those who don’t deserve it including our elected representatives. In other words; From those according to their ability to those according to their need…Karl Marx Oh what luck for rulers that men do not think…Adolf Hitler The problem with Socialism is you eventually run out of others peoples money…Margaret Thatcher How about kicking some Socialist A** and stop punishing me for doing the right things?"

I feel that I am under attack in a big way

I think I will take some time off SH while HS works the bugs out of the new system. I am not sure what was wrong with the old way but then I know how Obamatrons are when it come to change. They like all they can get and will lie about not liking it in order to defend "OUR DEAR LEADER" So I am not sure what the tech guys at SH are up to but I know it must be keeoing them at work!

A lot is still going on but it is all legal now. Most is cut and dry but it take a lot of my time because I am the only one able to do it. I have to speak with Lawyers, Bankers, Accounts and my Shrink everyday. (well maybe not my shrink everyday but as needed) I will try to make polls when I am up to it but I still may not find time to make comments. If you have a poll you want me to look at send it to me and I will try to get to it. I make a few polls today between calls with my lawyer. Ok so I am ok to have lunch with my God Father. Xenon23

MY DAD PASSED AWAY AT 6:15PM LAST NIGHT. W. R. BENNETT 1922-2008

My father is gone to his Lord and his Wife. He passed away on 10-16-2008 at 6:15 PM. About 5 days ago Robin one of his health care providers was trying to get him to eat. She said to him, "Mr. Bennett you need to eat so you can get strong and go home". He said to her, "I am not going home I am going to Heaven". My dad was always a man of his word. My mom died in 1996. My father spent 12 years asking her to marry him. He lived 12 years after her death. I guess he made her wait 12 years in Heaven to make up for those years he waited for her. My moms birth day was 9-11 and dad started to go down just after that day. He went into the hospital on the morning of Oct 7. That was the day after my mothers brother, his best friends birthday. I would like to thank all of my friends here on SH who have offered kind words and support. I will not make any political polls until after the funeral. My Father in 1970. This has always been my favorite photo of my Father. Thanks to all and god bless, Evan (Xenon23)

Dad has had a mild stroke and is having trouble swallowing. Last night he was out of it and not looking but. I am still holding out some hope but he is not getting better yet. The hospital is not very helpful and my sister is nuts. I have been trying to keep up with all the BS thrown at me. I have had to take care of a few people who have tried to take advantage of my dad in his weakened state. I do not feel like making polls. I really wanted to make five this morning but I am just not up to it. Maybe your guy can make some polls for me. I hope to be back to my rabid poll make ing soon. Thanks and god bless...
