Recently I saw the following statement, “A Republican is a Democrat who has just been mugged.” I believe a better expression might be “has been betrayed.” The docile defenders of Capitalism are up against the new Democratic Marxism that does not tolerate the competition of ideas or political parties. It stands for one-party control and the individual’s subjugation. “Feed the Hungry” turns into “Feed the Government.”Thomas Jefferson wrote, “A wise and frugal government shall leave men to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement.” The right to property, including Intellectural Property, guarantees the means to live in freedom and practice self-government. The main role of government is to keep the peace and punish offenders. However, our government has grown by leaps and bounds, and the rights of the individual have been trampled. The Socialist Economy can go down only one of two possible paths: toward Authoritarianism, or toward Anarchy.For example, California is a state that is badly in need of water. Fortunately, we have received a lot of rain this year. We need to SAVE THE WATER. However, Environmentalists (scam) are against building dams and reservoirs to do just that and prefer to let the water run into the ocean.#placement_573654_0_i{width:100%;max-width:550px;margin:0 auto;}var rnd = window.rnd || Math.floor(Math.random()*10e6);var pid573654 = window.pid573654 || rnd;var plc573654 = window.plc573654 || 0;var abkw = window.abkw || '';var absrc = 'https://ads.empowerlocal.co/adserve/;ID=181918;size=0x0;setID=573654;type=js;sw='+screen.width+';sh='+screen.height+';spr='+window.devicePixelRatio+';kw='+abkw+';pid='+pid573654+';place='+(plc573654++)+';rnd='+rnd+';click=CLICK_MACRO_PLACEHOLDER';var _absrc = absrc.split("type=js"); absrc = _absrc[0] + 'type=js;referrer=' + encodeURIComponent(document.location.href) + _absrc[1];document.write('');Joan MilesCrescent City googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('ad-1515727'); });
