Socialism, a “Fresh” Idea that Reeks of Ancient Failure

I heard a very interesting topic on the Quinn and Rose morning show today that I wanted to share with the world. Progressives like to think that their liberal/socialist ideals are "new" and "fresh," and they criticize the conservatives and the founding fathers that their ideals are old and worn out and "do not fit with our modern way of life." Well I got news for you… Socialism has been around a lot longer than the progressives want you to believe. Not only has it been around for thousands of years… it has failed every time! To truly understand socialism and the instances where it has been tried in the past, let's look at the core of socialism and go over what it involves. Socialism/Liberalism in today's society is the idea that everything is done for the greater good of the community. There would have to be core systems which provide essential services to all people equally. Sound nice and utopian doesn't it? Here's the harsh reality… To achieve this kind of system in today's society, Government would have to grow to even more massive than it already is. They would have to grow so powerful that they would have to literally control everything around us! The media, healthcare, what we eat, what we drink, what we buy, what we own, where we go, and even what we think. They would tax us out the ass and redistribute the wealth to the lesser fortunate or those people who are just too lazy and realize that they can just rely on the government to provide. All the while the powerful government would be getting richer; and the people would become more and more oppressed! Sound's kind of shitty when you look at the reality of socialism doesn't it? With that said, does anyone realize a similar system to what I just described? Doesn't it sound like Medieval Feudalism? The common presents during medieval times were not slaves to their lord, they were dependent upon him for their living. These presents, also called serfs were obligated to work for their lords… They could serve the lord by working the land or working in another way in the lord's service, these medieval peasants, eked out a living that was meager at best. Those medieval peasants that lived a farming serf's life were expected to give the lord a percentage of their harvested crops for payment in exchange for the use of the land. They also had to pay a tithe to the church. Once this was done, medieval serfs had very little money or crops left for themselves. All the while the lord's got all the best crops, and all the best livestock, and most of all… the wealth! The lords and clergy would spew propaganda to keep the serfs in line and keep them from wanting to revolt. Despite their best efforts, the serfs eventually realized they were getting the shitty end of the deal and rose up against their lords. In today's society, we need to realize that Government is NOT the answer! The Obama administration is trying desperately to gain power and wealth and oppress and brainwash the people of this country with Socialist propaganda. Liberalism/Socialism is NOT the new and fresh idea that they want you to believe! The country we know and love will not survive if we allow a Socialist agenda to be put into place! Spread the word! November is coming up and I can't wait to change history!
