Why Democrats live in Fantasy Land

After reading the comments here on Patch, it becomes abundantly clear that there is a core group of Democrats who are proponents of liberal causes. Causes heralded in the name of what is just, fair, and a human right. This is because people must never go hungry, thirsty, or ever worry about the cold. We have so many people out there who are defenders of entitlements, elderly causes, veteran’s causes, children's causes and yes even animal causes. We have 80% of the U.S. Population living on 40K a year or less, and the wealthiest 1% now own 50% of all the wealth.

Watching what is going on in Venezuela, should be a wakeup call to all of those Democrats who think that we can somehow use force against those individuals who ought to pay for all the misfortune suffered by others. Carl Marx, and Venezuelan President Maduro called/s such capitalists "bourgeois" a dirty Marxist word for a greedy businessman. American’s however are much more fortunate than Venezuela we have the ability to just print money, whereas Venezuela just sends the army to its big box stores, arrests the owners/managers and implements price controls to deflate their alleged inflated prices caused by the socialists abuse of their national currency.

It’s important to note that no paper money, or currency for that matter has ever survived, all of them have either succumbed to war, takeovers or in the case of the world monetary system inflation. The U.S. Dollar alone has lost 98.5% of its value since the inception of the Federal Reserve whom was tasked to make sure that never happened.

American's on the other hand are woefully ignorant when it comes to money most have no idea what money is, what it represents or how it derives its value.

Anyone who studied economics will tell you that what we hold in our hands today is the “Ghost” of Money. Gresham's Law makes that abundantly clear, and further postulates that it is an absolute certainty that the U.S. Greenback will be as valuable as newspaper in the not so distant future.

However, this post is not to taunt its readers but rather share with you, and hopefully wake you up to the fact that Money is clearly defined in the U.S. Constitution. Its Gold and Silver, and furthermore U.S. States are free to have their own currency provided it meets this Constitutional standard.

The Money in circulation today was Constitutional about 100 years ago, because you could trade a $20.00 bill for a $20.00 Gold coin. The bill was the Currency, the Gold coin the Money. This was so in the late 1,800's at least until the Pitman Act confiscated all the Gold of Americans. After this confiscation the value of Gold and Silver was reset and it suddenly took a staggering $50.00 to purchase that same $20.00 worth of Gold. Nixon then ended the Gold standard during his reign as President, and ever since all we can do today is buy Gold and Silver at manipulated prices. This practice according to GATA is to “make the dollar look good,” and after a fierce fight with the CFTC Bart Chilton resigned, and the courts ruled against GATA. Lucky for America we still have Oil backing the dollar and hopefully that will not come to an end anytime soon. However, with the instability in the middle East and our long list of growing enemies there, it becomes abundantly clear that Americas poor and entitled could have “the rug pulled out from under their feet” at any time.

When the Marxists, Socialist, Progressives, AKA Democrats finally and inadvertently get to fulfill the objectives of an entitlement state as described by the Cloward Piven strategy, we will be ripe for a scary scenario where Americans will be exporting our inflation to every nation on earth. This will undoubtedly result in a de-facto devaluation of their paper assets in tandem with ours. This will also be a huge blow to the Liberal and Progressive Socialist Democrat effort to champion the every need of every American who is struggling to survive.  This will also be a blow to those American families who have now become part of a culture class best described as intergenerational government dependents with few to no employed or entrepreneurial household role models to learn from.

When the gig is up, and it will be, we could expect civil strife and unrest to be as commonplace as Stop Signs and Traffic lights.

The calamity of Progressive Democrats and their Social policies was best described by the former English Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher whom summed it up concisely when she said that "Eventually you run out of other people’s money." I would add that cities eventually lose their credit ratings and go bankrupt just research the ongoing issues right here at home and in Detroit Michigan the poster child for the failures of the visions held by Democrats, and their progressive Socialist Ideals.

In summary, what we see in France, Venezuela, and in many cities and states right here in America is the inadvertent negative effects that are imposed on all our nations and economies. Malaise and ongoing problems borne of the good intentioned Progressive Democrat Socialists who deploy social engineering strategies that even Vladimir Putin of the Communist U.S.S.R. warned us against.

Tragically this is what is happening in America today, and it’s Socialism and the Progressive agenda that is to blame for the creation of the most disparaging and alarming gap ever recorded between the super rich and the poor.  This just proves that they have monumentally failed at everything they sought to accomplish under the guise of the Social justice agenda and if the present trend continues we will all suffer at the hands of these good intentioned Progressive Socialist Democrats.

The means to collect taxes will become more extreme, as will their spying, and ever increasing expansion of government intrusion into our lives. In order to hunt for and redistribute wealth, they will need to have that information, as well as access to your Bank and your Bank accounts. Under Socialism, and Progressive Democrat Ideals the “authorities” are the “Hunters” and the “Producers” who work hard and have some wealth are the “Hunted.”

This rapidly emerging scenario continues unabated because so many of us fall for the old Liberal Progressive Democrat “sob story” that we need to ”have a heart” quit being so “Greedy” and help the less fortunate among us.

Liberals love to tug on our heartstrings to push their collectivist Socialist agendas, however I beg all Americans and the people of Milford to look up the record of the Marxist rooted Democrat Progressives. You will soon learn, as I did, that none of them ever tell the truth, and they are always looking to give themselves “a pass” for the failure to deliver on their promises.

Thank you for reading my rant today and I hope if nothing else this has given you something to think about, investigate or look into. God Bless and I would love to hear you comments on why a vote for any Democrat is a good vote.
