Applying Selective Capitalism

A recent headline reads "Venezuelan Leader: Capitalism needs to go down". It should no surprise to anyone that Chavez would say this. What is shocking is that there are many, many leftist Americans that believe the same day. To the Leftists/Statists/Marxists, it is Utopian to think of a classless world where everyone has everything they need everyone contributes everything they can in the name of worldwide communal living. Ahh - peace and harmony....

In theory, this would be a beautiful world. Just think of how much less stress one would have if you didn't have to worry about keeping up with the Jone's. The truth of the matter is, even in a Kumbayah loving world, there will ALWAYS be individuals that look around and see room for improvement. Inherently, humans have a "greedy" desire for advancement, improvement, and a strive for achievement. Again - this is inherent. The leftists in power have this same desire - with the exception of their belief that only THEY should have the power to name who will be the elite, the "haves and have nots", and who should have the opportunity for individual achievement. So basically what I'm saying is that Capitalism will NEVER die - it will only be stifled with laws and regulations that benefit only the elitists in power that only allow achievement in their own right while denying this right for all the common folk. The "masses" will be made to deny their urge of self-fulfillment in the name of the environment and "saving our fellow man".

So you see, the leftists have staged a ruse whereby only the one's making the rules will have the path to achievement while regular old Joe Schmoe's like myself have the will and desire snuffed in order to stifle the will or the inherent desire to make a better life for ourselves and our families. No, Capitalism will not die - it will only be denied to the masses and applied discriminately to the elite.

Obama declares war on.....Rush?

Okay, this is starting to get weird. Rahm Emanuel on "Face the Nation" talking about Rush Limbaugh as if Rush is enemy number one. Well, he probably is the enemy if you are a fan of or prescribe to socialism/communism and the elimination of liberty by way of high taxes. This tells me a couple things:

1. The Democrats are genuinely afraid of Rush. They know he represents a HUGE voice in terms of the American electorate, and they see him as the biggest threat right now. I haven't seen them attacking Steele or any of the moderates in the party. Rush is scaring the crap out them right now.
2. The administration is obviously trying to put a wedge in between the moderate and conservative wings of the party. Taking their orders from Press Secretary Robert Gibbs suggestion to the media to challenge Republican leaders, we heard Michael Steele questioned on his allegiance to Rush on CNN. I think we'll be seeing much more of this in the coming days and weeks as the party begins to evaluate if they are going to embrace or turn their backs on Rush.

The Republican party is in shambles right now. The biggest voting block and most advocate in terms of calling their representatives is the audience of Rush. I'm starting to feel sorry for Michael Steele, as he probably feels like he's in the back seat right now.

In my opinion, and for the sake of the country, Steele and the moderates should support and rally around Rush. They had their moderate candidate in McCain - he was the embodiment of EVERYTHING moderate. That choice failed. Look at where we are now - heading towards a socialist mess. Even the Republican moderates must realize that a staunch conservative like Romney would be a much, much better selection than what we have now in Obama.

So, for this reason alone the Republican moderates should come together and embrace the only true vocal opposition to socialism and Obama. And the most prominent leader of this movement right now is Rush Limbaugh.
