Lately Jim Rogers (article at wikipedia), an American Investor who has relocated his headquarters to China, has said that the United States, with the recent Fannie-Freddie bailout, is more Communist than China.  Lew Rockwell correctly points out that this is really national socialism.

As this election season progresses we can see more of the examples pointed out by Stefan Burger and Hugh Compston in their 2002 book, Policy Conertation and Social Partnership in Western Europe: Lessons for the 21st Century, which says, (on page 132):

“Whilst the Nazis established a ‘directed economy’ in which the autonomy of the economic management of employers was restricted, the overall relationship between big industry and the National Socialist regime was characterised by a good deal of harmonious cooperation.” [citations omitted]

At the current moment in time, small businesses and families are suffering, while the majority of U.S. corporations pay no income tax (source: New York Times).  The tax code favors the large corporations, while crushing the smaller businesses.  Large corporations (like McDonalds) lobby to force into law extending benefits to employees, knowing it will drive out of business their smaller competitors.

Unfortunately Obama has done everything possible to make McCain look good, including Obama’s wanting to raise taxes by billions of dollars while creating a new corp of government funded social workers (see this article at Wold Net Daily).  I have to wonder if Obama is deliberately throwing the election after discovering that he was trailing McCain in the polls with Gallup giving McCain a 5 point lead (article at Gallup.com).  Obama then tries to make an issue out of the fact that McCain didn’t attack Obama’s Muslim faith on ABC.  It’s almost comical, as if the election is just a show now.

Let’s face it, all Obama had to do was work out a deal where there was a Obama-Clinton or Clinton-Obama ticket, for some reason that wasn’t something that Obama thought worth pursuing.  Or maybe he just wanted to get the money that was paid from his HOPE fund for all those super delegates.

The problem is that the attacks that worked so well on Hillary (face it half the people hated her anyway) didn’t work as well on Palin.  Maybe they should have researched some of the smears before they claimed they were true.   For instance there were the fake pictures that I had written about, and now are picked up by the international press, though the really “bad” pictures are of course not published by any reputable source. Though the LA Times did find a picture from when she was in College with a stupid t-shirt.

There is a whole article written by Karl Schwarz that debunks a lot of the misleading statements about Sarah Palin, for instance pointing out for “abuse of power” allegation, that

Sarah Palin fired Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan for refusing to fire a rogue Alaska State Trooper Mike ‘Bull’ Wooten who was her ex-brother-in-law.  The Alaska State Trooper had threatened to kill Palin’s father, terrorized her sister, TASERED the 11 year old nephew of the governor and threatened bodily harm to Sarah Palin, too. As a matter of law and fact, as the Chief Executive Officer of the State of Alaska, Gov Sarah Palin, has the authority to fire people who refuse to do their job or follow her orders.

Of course, this DNC operative site did not bother to tell their readers that Wooten has been reprimanded many times for excessive use of force, drinking problems… including drinking on the job, steroids abuse and terrorizing and threatening the Palin family. So much for the legitimacy and integrity of grizzlybay.org.  These DNC agent thugs have been especially quiet about him tasering the 11-year-old child, his former stepson. I would have fired his sorry ass, too, and that might have been after I used a baseball bat or a taser on him. There are two things that do not set well with my genes and that is abuse of a woman or a child by a man.  You can check the facts at this link:

Now unfortunately Sarah Palin isn’t running for president (though many people would say that is a good thing).  Instead, John McCain is running.  This is the same John McCain that was part of the “Keating 5“, and whose son is linked to a recently failed bank. [As a side note, BankImplode.com seems to have decent reporting about Bank problems]

I think the only difference in the socialism that McCain would bring is that he would bail out the wealthy, while Obama will just drown everyone.  Of course that could be why there are now reports of McCain having up to a 10% lead on Obama!  Of course the answer to this is, according to an article at the Huffington Post:

most importantly we should bring up re-regulating the media and who owns it and what that conflict of interest is a lot more

Why is it than while people complain about bad government, they seem to think the answer is more government?

The current problem is that with every economic downturn, the common man calls out for some way to “correct” the social injustices, but in the end, those “reforms” tend to benefit (or create new) privileged classes.

Face it, there is no magic bullet, no Santa Claus, and it’s up to individuals to make the world a better place.  Forcing people into some kind of group only creates problems, just as we have freedom of religion, we once had free states that had different laws, but worked together, now we just have big brother.

And both candidates for the major parties seem to want an even bigger brother.  If you don’t worry about Big Brother type tactics, l will point out how McCain’s people stole a revolutionary war flag that signed by Ron Paul from credentialed delegates at the RNC, or how official election observers have been arrested for observing elections in the United States.

I will be voting for the best candidate, whether that person is listed on the printed ballot or not, and I hope that other people make the choice that they feel is best.  I don’t agree with everyone about everything, but I think most people can all agree that it’s time for less government, not more.
