The Terrible Truth about Communism

October 13th, 2005 at 09:39 by Site Administrator

Author Dick Morris wrote a brilliant piece in “The Hill” today about a journalist who has decided to trade in his PC for an M16.

Titled “A Young Man and His Ideals,” Morris chronicles the life of Matt Pottinger, who “has served as a correspondent for The Wall Street Journal in China for nearly five years.” Matt has had some eye-opening experiences, and subsequent to that, is enlisted in the United States Marine Corps.

“His is a story of a patriotism and commitment underscored and emphasized by the lessons he has learned living in one of the most politically repressive societies on the planet. There is so much we can all learn from him about China and about our own country.

“The regime in China,” Matt contends, “is held up by two props: economic advancement and control of news and information. The government is very good at both.”

How can a modern government police how 1.3 billion people who use the vast resources of the Internet? Pottinger explains: “The authorities spend countless man hours, involving tens of thousands of officials, monitoring what the Chinese people are accessing online.”

And, he adds, Western companies facilitate their task by selling the sophisticated equipment and software that Beijing uses to maintain the new wall of China - its Internet firewall.

Pottinger says that living up close and personal under an authoritarian government made him value freedom all the more. He remembers once interviewing Chinese workers who were protesting official corruption only to be approached by a government thug - at a Starbucks in Beijing, no less - who punched him and said: “You will get f- - -ing out of the country. Right now.”

Matt, however, defied the warning and remained in China and continued trying to report the truth despite official intimidation.”

Why is it that so many on the looney Left have a problem with grasping what is truly behind Socialism, Marxism, and Communism? They are the ones who support these ideals, but if they had their way, many of them would be either executed or exiled for the rest of their natural lives!

It just goes to show you… the Left knows nothing about the “Terrible Truth about Communism.” In essence, Communism is the ultimate fight against individualism, which is core to the true American way of life! The caveat is this: individualism not only brings prosperity; it also carries with it personal responsibility for the individual’s actions. And that is something the democrooks cannot truly grasp.

From the Files of “I Thought I’d Heard it All”

October 13th, 2005 at 08:50 by Site Administrator
Can this idiot show any more lunacy than we’ve already seen? Come on, already! Jesu…… oh, never mind. She must have already heard Him speak… :::::SIGH:::::: 

PoliticalTeen has the post, and the original source.

On Ash Wednesday of 2004, a few days before Casey left for Iraq, his dad and I went to see The Passion of the Christ. That was our Ash Wednesday penance that year. Casey’s dad fell asleep during the scourging scene while I sat in my seat and quietly sobbed.

I was especially touched by the character that played Jesus’ mom who followed her son along while he was being violently tortured and killed by devious men with an evil agenda. Of course, since I became a mom over 26 years ago, I have identified with Mary as she sobbed at the foot of her sons cross and cradled his lifeless body in her arms.

I am recounting all of this, because since Casey was killed in Iraq by devious men with evil agendas, I find it extremely difficult to go to the movies.

Yesterday, I went to the same movie theater in Vacaville, Ca. that Casey and I loved to attend. My sister and I saw the movie Serenity. It was a good science fiction flick which was entertaining and had many parallels with what is going on in our world today.

 

Speaking of science fiction, will somebody please tell Louie Freak-a-khan to take her back to the Motherwheel already? The ship is leaving and she needs to head back home!

It’s Called a “Theory” for a Reason

October 13th, 2005 at 07:40 by Site Administrator
Yes, I’m talking about “Darwin’s Theory.” I am flummoxed that the Left is so apoplectic about the suggestion of another “theory” being taught in schools!!?!?!?! Yes, this argument has yet-again reared its ugly head, and the ACLU is ready at the helm to destroy every effort for such teachings. 

According to a “World Peace Herald” article;


A U.S. federal judge is now being asked to decide whether a local school board acted unconstitutionally when it adopted a policy mandating that science students be told about intelligent design.

In 2004, the Dover, Pennsylvania, school board decided that students studying Darwinian evolution should be informed that there is a competing theory called intelligent design (ID).


Students are not required to learn anything about ID; they are simply told that there is a book about it in the school library, and they are
encouraged to keep an open mind.

Is it just me, or am I the only person who thinks there is nothing wrong with merely suggesting there’s an opposing idea to Darwin’s theory, and that the reading material is available in the school’s library? Nobody in this case that I’ve read about suggest that it be adopted into the school curricula of Science (which, by the way, Darwinism is taught as a “proven” theory). So, why not let students know that’s not the only “idea” out there? This stinks to high heaven (oops! sorry) of slamming the 1st Amendment! 

The whole idea behind theories is that they are just that: “theories.” They can be challenged, debated, or whatever else you want to call it, but HOLY cow (oops! my bad, sorry about the “holy” reference again)… Heaven forbid (Dang! there I go again!), anyway… you get my drift…

Just let one person, even a representative of a government school *GASP!*, propose such a thing, and the ACLU idiots get their granny-panties in a bunch! By the way, have you noticed that our Government schools (i.e., “public schools”) are doing such a BANG-UP job of turning out productive members of society lately???? Didn’t think so…

Again, the ACLU just couldn’t resist this opportunity to get into the limelight…

This was too much for the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), which brought suit to have the Dover policy declared unconstitutional.

Some people are now comparing the 2005 Dover trial to the 1925 Scopes trial, in which the ACLU defended a teacher named John Scopes who had been accused of violating a state law prohibiting public schools from teaching that humans are descended from lower forms of life.

But there is a huge difference between the two: In 1925 the ACLU went to court to permit the teaching of Darwinian evolution; now, the ACLU is suing to prohibit the teaching of anything but Darwinian evolution.

 

This article is a MUST read and a wake-up call to all. Everybody should do their homework on Darwinism, and come to terms with what it really is - a theory. 

Now, the only case that I can think of that MIGHT prove Darwinism resides in the Senate House in the great state of Massachussetts, and is reported to be a VERY good swimmer!
