It seems it is quite politically incorrect to call leaders what they are so we are every stuck with calling them by the names the politically correct tell us we can use.
Right now it is not politically correct to call anyone in our nation a socialist or a communist. We must call them progressives because the other to labels are too offensive to our sensibilities, but then that is the purpose of making it so we won't call them what they really are.
Sadly we are now left with the choice of picking the party of LESS socialism. At least this is what we feel our choices are. We need to be demanding of our leaders clear answers to what they intend to pass. The general feel good answers of, "I'm going to lower taxes." sounds like a wonderful promise but you notice they don't tell you how. They don't tel you what specifically they're going to cut. You should understand this means they haven't really thought about it at all. They are merely saying the part you want to hear.
Because most of us do not want OUR programs cut and because there are so many different us's who want things they are continually afraid to cut anything for fear of making one group or another mad and thus not getting elected.
You see it's more important to be elected than to do the right thing. At the same time we want to elect some one who says the the things that sound nice but not the person who will do what is right.
The choice of less socialism is still the choice for socialism; it is merely a more incremental socialism.
We need to hold our leaders to their oath to the constitution. Since socialism is a completely different form of government from the constitutional, democratic republic we have received it can be easily seen that anyone who supports socialism is against the constitution and thus cannot be trusted to keep their primary oath of office.
Consider that we have the democrats in both the houses more than willing to vote Kagan in as a supreme court justice even though she clearly holds socialists views. Every senator or congressman that votes for her is showing by their actions that they are not supporting the constitution. They are not asking her about the constitution because they don't care about it themselves. She also does not seem to hold any real reverence for the constitution. From things she's said I get the impression she is doing all she can to avoid declaring any fealty to it. She has shown by previous actions that she is an activist which is not the position any judge should be in. The job of those on the Supreme Court is to judge the constitutionality of decisions made my lower courts.
The idea of precedence occurred to our founding fathers and they rejected it. To them most laws and rights were fixed by God. Though there was room for interpretation but it was not the job of clearly not the job of Judges to determine what laws was a good law. Their job is to determine if something is against the constitution or not. On the basis of this any law restricting religion should be deemed unconstitutional including those of separation of church and state which clearly is not in the constitution. That concept was merely discussed by one of the founding fathers in a paper but it cannot be found in the constitution.
We need to be very careful who we pick for judges and our measuring stick needs to be their loyalty to the constitution. Again I emphasize that socialism as a national or world view is against the constitution and as such we should not have any socialist as a person presiding over the constitution of the United States.
Call your congress people and tell them you want them to find out more about Kagan before they vote here in for the rest of her life.
