For at least ten years now Conservatives have stood by and watched the
Liberals point to socialist Europe with glee and exclaim how the U.S should
look and learn. Oh how wonderful it is they say, the French get thirty paid
vacation days a year and Greeks have a thirty five hour work week. The
governments take from those rich b@stards who have more money than they
need or deserve and give it to the working or often non-working class who
for some reason do deserve it. How wonderful they said, "we should be like
Europe".
Put into a fashion context it would be like the liberals pointing to
adolescent Europe, dressed in neon green Crocs, a fishnet T-shirt with over
baggy pants that hang down halfway across the butt, exposing prison issued
boxer shorts. "That's so cool" the liberals exclaim with moronic
exuberance!! We should dress like that!! The conservatives meanwhile,
dressed in jeans and a plain white T-shirt just shake our heads in
disbelief that anyone would have a desire to jump onto such a ridiculous
band wagon.
Now once again the socialist dream of taking from those who do and have to
give to those who don't have or do very much to get, is dying in Europe. I
for one would love nothing more than to see socialism die (once again) this
time without taking the millions of victims with it that it has in the
past. But the joy of seeing the stupidity of socialism and its completely
irrational ideas sinking in Europe is dampened by several unfortunate
facts. The first being that socialism always attaches itself with a death
grip to it's host like the leach that it is. Greeks have been completely
indoctrinated it seems and as long as anyone in Europe has money, which
Greeks feel should be laid on the alter of socialism, they will not go
without their government handouts. Greeks, I believe will burn down their
own country before doing without while Germany or any other European
country has anything. Of course that is the nature of socialism. Why
shouldn't other countries give their wealth to Greece who is poorer and
simply wants the great European dream like everyone else. It matters little
whether Greece can actually afford to live such a high standard or not.
Socialism is after all about spending someone else's money. Which is
exactly what I believe Greece has in mind. Then there is Spain, Portugal,
Italy etc. who will certainly not feel it is right for them suffer while
Greece is locked onto the European Unions breast, all comfy and warm. I
don't see any of these countries doing what it will take to get themselves
out of this. So a violent crash may be inevitable.
Then there is the sobering fact that the U.S is also neck deep in dept and bailouts of our own which have not worked very well either. We to have been bailing out our
own socialist disasters (California and New York for starters). Now before you shake your heads no, all you liberals, check the last stimulus packages, California and New York among other socialist program heavy states graciously received billions of dollars from the Obama administration to prop up their failing economies. So there is always the chance that we could go down with the ship as well. It is ironic as well as a bit moronic in my opinion that around the same time that Europe is sinking under its own socialist weight the U.S has voted in our own socialist architects to build us a boat just like the Europeans have.
So here we are it seems, not so far from the events in Europe. We are sinking in the billions and billions of dollars of bailouts like the ones we are still handing to Fannie May and Freddie Mac. The Barney Franks band is playing the old and moldy err I mean golden oldie "there's nothing wrong with Fannie May and Freddie Mac". Obama and company have ordered the life boats to be let loose empty to insure all those who may need them, be they actual documented ship passengers or not, will have a fair chance. So get your government issued green Crocs and baggy pants on folks, it looks like we may have to swim for it.
