The Legacy of Ted Kennedy

The truth spoken by someone who has been there and escaped the siren song of Government dependence.

Back on Uncle Sam's Plantation Star Parker - Syndicated Columnist
(who is African American, in case some of you liberal pinheads are put off by the "racist" language).

Six years ago I wrote a book called Uncle Sam's Plantation . I wrote the book to tell my own story of what I saw living inside the welfare state and my own transformation out of it.I said in that book that indeed there are two Americas -- a poor America on socialism and a wealthy America on capitalism. I talked about government programs like Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Job Opportunities and Basic Skills Training (JOBS), Emergency Assistance to Needy Families with Children (EANF), Section 8 Housing, and Food Stamps.A vast sea of perhaps well-intentioned government programs, all initially set into motion in the 1960s by Democrats, that were going to lift the nation's poor out of poverty.A benevolent Uncle Sam welcomed mostly poor black Americans onto the government plantation. Those who accepted the invitation switched mindsets from "How do I take care of myself?" to "What do I have to do to stay on the plantation?"Instead of solving economic problems, government welfare socialism created monstrous moral and spiritual problems -- the kind of problems that are inevitable when individuals turn responsibility for their lives over to others.The legacy of American socialism is our blighted inner cities, dysfunctional inner city schools, and broken black families.Through God's grace, I found my way out. It was then that I understood what freedom meant and how great this country is.I had the privilege of working on welfare reform in 1996 which was passed by a Republican controlled Congress. I thought we were on the road to moving socialism out of our poor black communities and replacing it with wealth-producing American capitalism. But, incredibly, we are now going in the opposite direction. Instead of poor America on socialism becoming more like rich American on capitalism, rich America on capitalism is becoming like poor America on socialism.Uncle Sam has welcomed our banks onto the plantation and they have said, "Thank you, Suh."Now, instead of thinking about what creative things need to be done to serve customers, they are thinking about what they have to tell Massah in order to get their cash.

There is some kind of irony that this is all happening under our first black president on the 200th anniversary of the birthday of Abraham Lincoln. Worse, socialism seems to be the element of our new young president. And maybe even more troubling, our corporate executives seem happy to move onto the plantation.In an op-Ed on the opinion page of the Washington Post , Mr.Obama is clear that the goal of his trillion dollar spending plan is much more than short term economic stimulus."This plan is more than a prescription for short-term spending -- it's a strategy for America 's long-term growth and opportunity in areas such as renewable energy, health care, and education."Perhaps more incredibly, Obama seems to think that government taking over an economy is a new idea. Or that massive growth in government can take place "with unprecedented transparency and accountability."Yes, sir, we heard it from Jimmy Carter when he created the Department of Energy, the Synfuels Corporation, and the Department of Education.

Or how about the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 -- The War on Poverty -- which President Johnson said "...does not merely expand old programs or improve what is already being done. It charts a new course. It strikes at the causes, not just the consequences of poverty." Trillions of dollars later, black poverty is the same. But black families are not, with triple the incidence of single-parent homes and out-of-wedlock births. It's not complicated. Americans can accept Barack Obama's invitation to move onto the plantation. Or they can choose personal responsibility and freedom.

Does anyone really need to think about what the choice should be? "The trouble with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money." TRUER WORDS WERE NEVER SPOKEN !

Misc. Great Moments of Ted Kennedy.

Ted Kennedy questioned Judge Alito's integrity when Alito was at Princeton. As you may know, Kennedy was kicked out of Harvard for cheating. So when it comes to questionable integrity at college he knows what he is talking about." --Jay Leno
Kennedy's own remarks on Katrina: "The rich with cars got out. The poor drowned". (its been commented how appropriate that line might be for his tombstone).

The Accomplishments of Ted Kennedy.

-Kicked out of Harvard for cheating.

-

- Killed a young women while driving drunk from a party.

-Left the scene of the accident and bought off the legal system.

-Made it possible for the massive illegal alien invasion.

- Supported the massive welfare dependence on Government (aka Great Society and public welfare).

-Promoted Union thuggery by public works corruption.

-

-Promoted the legal practice of child murder (abortion). Mary Jo isn't the only blood on his hands.

-Snorting coke and guzzling booze, womanizing, and participating in such debauchery that even got his nephew involved in a rape charge (and escaped by the usual Kennedy talent for buying off judges, prosecutors, and witnesses).

I will not apologize for being insensitive. This drunken bastard has done more to destroy my America than Stalin, Hitler, or even Mao ever thought possible. It's an absolute disgrace this lout is planted at Arlington.

Death Panels Clarified

Why doesn't some clever reporter ask Obama if the money spent to keep Ted Kennedy alive, given his terminal condition and age, was worth the cost? Isn't this the question Sarah Palin raised in the first place (not about Kennedy, but whether the Democrats want to ration care away from the old an dying)? Or is this Obamacare plan much like the Animal Farm rules, where some "animals" have more rights than others.

The Media Blackout of Horrific Murder

This crime has faced a complete media blackout. I don't even want to describe this crime its so horriffic. The perps are currently on trial in Knoxville Tennessee, but few people have heard of the torture, rape, and murder of two white kids who were carjacked by a gang of black thugs while on a dinner date one night in 2007. The reason, of course, is MSM bias concerning black on white crime. You can bet if this were white thugs raping, torturing, and murdering two black victims, this would be headline news 24/7 in every MSM outlet in America. Click here to read lastest details of the crime. Don't let the media black this out.

Democrats Desparately At Work on Health Care Reform

Here they are, Democrats desparately trying to get the socialist health care takeover through Congress.

The $40,000 Economy Car

The cars featured are "the kind of cars the Obama administration has been pushing: small cars with high fuel economy, hybrid technology, “alternative fuel” capability, etc." says Alex Epstein of the Ayn Rand Center, who doesn't see this as the exciting turnaround GM does.
"GM has already gone down a less extreme version of this road — and it proved to be the road to bankruptcy. Induced by irrational government fuel economy laws and union laws to make myriad small, fuel-efficient cars with overpaid union workers, GM lost enormous amounts of money. By contrast, GM and other American automakers made money on larger, safer, more luxurious cars (which could more easily absorb the higher labor costs) including SUVs and Muscle Cars — cars the administration decries".

Government Motors, building overpriced, under powered, UAW built pieces of crap. Lets all sing the Internationale.... The much awaited Chevy Volt comes in at a whooping 40K. Gotta pay Union wages adding,...of course... the Soprano's "skim".

No self respecting conservative should be caught dead or alive in one. If you buy one however, bring an extra long extension cord. Oh by the way....don't you have to plug it into one of those outlet thingies...and aren't those damn things powered by a belching coal fired power plant in many areas of the country?

The Last Days of Good Music

Waxman the Ratman...I Don't Read Bills, Don't Be Ridiculous

The "Ratman" says, "I don't need to read no Stink'in bill". The cap and tax bill that will raise consumer prices on everything we buy or manufacture in the USA. Those enormous nostrils of his are certainly adding to Green house gas emmissions....ruining both our economy and the Earth's ozone layer. I believe a squirrel could build a nest in there.

Obama in the Garden of Eden

Will Obama ever stop campaigning? Apparently, he doesn't know difference between campaigning and governing. Many independents hired him to fix the economy, not what he is apparently doing. Obama has managed to triple the deficit while incredibly continuing to blame Bush for the disastrous affects of his own policies (which are currently launching USA red ink into orbit). He passed a massive spending bill that no one in Congress had time to read. If they had read it, they would know all the spending in that bill only grows Government and not jobs. That’s the fatal flaw of Socialism, as it consumes money (wealth) and produces nothing in return. Gradually, due to high taxes, the wealth producers become unmotivated to produce, and the entire system goes bankrupt. One only has to look at California or Michigan to understand what high taxes and big government does to an economy. Government spending for government only transfers the same poor dollar from one pocket to another without adding one cent of value. We’ll pass the same poor old worn out dollar around and around and around and around until it gradually disintegrates. It cannot be used to build or grow another job. See 'Porkulus', why it won't work in the Must See segment on this site.

Big government, once started, is almost impossible to stop. The reason is simple. Big Government hires most of the voters. Once you hire voters, it’s impossible to reduce growth in Government because the hired ‘voters’ will not risk loosing raises or jobs. Therefore, hired voters will only support politicians that protect their Government jobs. For example, where I live its almost impossible to stop school district spending. The reason is the school system is the largest employer in the county. Every time a bond measure is voted on to build new, and sometimes unneeded facilities, those hired voters and their families turn out in droves to pass the measure. The result, our taxes go up, and up, and up. My only defense is to move out of the county. If enough of us do so, the school budget collapses.

The Soviets were absolutely terrified to move to a capitalistic system, as they had a guaranteed job, a guaranteed health care system, and a guaranteed pension. It really didn’t matter how poor the job was, how sorry the health care was, or even how rotten the pension. That’s why Socialist systems have to collapse under their own weight, as people will cling to a government provided peanut butter sandwich instead of working for a steak. Gradually, even the high and mighty Government runs out of peanut butter. I’ve seen that phenomenon time and time again. Apparently, some people fear both failure and success. Americans have always been unique in that respect, in that we are skeptical of government, and want minimal Government interference. Anyone who wants Government to run their life is not a true American. I fear that as our borders are flooded by immigrants who come here to reap economic reward rather than relief from Government oppression, the numbers of Socialists will eventually overpower freedom seeking Americans.

Government dependence, once it takes root, is a terrible thing. Even today, we see the destruction of LBJ’s Great Society affect on the black community. A system that herded them into ghettos, rewarded them for not working, rewarded them for having children out of wedlock, and permanent creating an entitlement mindset and Government dependence. Although they have been the objects of discrimination, that alone cannot explain or excuse the entire breakdown of the black family and its moral culture.

We cannot wait around for the Government to do something for us, but must take action ourselves. Only by doing so will provide greater power and prosperity. Government dependence is the hemlock Obama is wants us all to drink. The President is like the serpent in the Garden of Eden, tempting us to eat of this socialist fruit. In the name of all that’s Holy, do not take a bite, lest capitalism and free enterprise die forever in America.

Join the Crusade

To Congress: We are mad as hell, and we're coming for you.... Nancy and the rest of the Socialists . No more spending, no more cap and trade energy taxes, no more illegal immigration, no more government takeovers of corporations, no moving Gitmo terrorists to the USA, no more apologizing for our history, no more government promotion of homosexuality and immorality, and absolutely no takeover of our health care system.

Another Example of Socialized Compassion at a Funeral in the UK.

My cousin forwarded this little tidbit:

Mom in U.K. Fined for Grieving Too Long at Baby Son's Funeral Tuesday,August 04, 2009 * A grieving mother in Britain was fined $173 for spending too long ather son's coffin before it was taken away for cremation. Terrie Rouse, 32, said her grief turned to shock when officials told her she had taken too long to say goodbye, The Daily Mail reported."The vicar had asked if I would like to spend a bit more time saying goodbye," she said. "I sat by the coffin for 10 minutes, telling my son how much we loved him and begging him not to be scared. "Officials at the crematorium, run by a local English council, impose an extra charge if any funeral runs over its 30-minute slot. However, the couple's funeral directors said there was plenty of time for the next funeral which was not due to take place for another 50 minutes. Rouse's partner, Lee Smythe, said the fee was "sick and disgusting." Terrie was weeping hysterically," he said. "She just wanted a few extra minutes to say goodbye to our much-loved little boy."The couple's son, Zane, died at five weeks from Sudden Infant Death Syndromeon April 9. The family waited three months before they could have a funeral to allow for tests to be carried out."It was distressing enough having to wait for the funeral because we were left in limbo, but this has just made it all worse," Smythe said.

As the Good Book says, 'a time to live, a time to die', and now funerals in the UK are on a stop watch. Even grieving is rationed, along with compassion. Beam me up, Scotty

PEEP, PEEP, PEEP

Liberalism and government growth cannot produce wealth. As Margaret Thatcher stated, the problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money. Case in point is California, the ‘IOU’ State. They have already run out of ‘other peoples’ money. As this State considers its future, it doesn’t look rosy.

Unfortunately, liberals forget one key ingredient that makes Government programs possible. Someone, in the food chain has to deliver the goods, so non-productive parasites can feed. If no one finds it worth the effort to work, no one will. The Soviets used to joke, “They pretend to pay us, and we pretend to work”. Production and productivity under socialism collapses, and the nation state of birdies peeping for their government provided worm are no longer fed. In California, the mommy birds are leaving the nest....avoiding a very hostile business climate.

Good luck Californians, in that you may end up digging for your own worms. The Governator will more than likely wing his way to Washington.... looking for big, fat, green, worms to feed all the Collyfornia peepers (if they can find anything left). Its going to be a cold winter.
