The Trouble with Americans

Posted with permission form author Richard McDonals.

The trouble with Americans is that they are easily fooled. Collectively they seldom see the forest for the trees. Their commercial and social successes have made their culture so complicated that they have come to rely on collective solutions that eat away at the freedom and liberty of the individual. Instead of a dedication to the principles of their Founders almost half of the population believes in socialism a mutation of the very totalitarian disease the Founders built this country to avoid.

Instead of an assembly of free individuals we have become a collection of mobs dedicated to using our particular monopoly to destroy the very economic and social fabric of the nation. Take the United Auto Workers Union (UAW). Are there Americans who believe that the UAW mob did not bankrupt the domestic auto industry? Take the teachers and their unions. That mob has done so much damage that the more money we throw at them the less educated kids we get and the higher wages and pensions we pay.

Take government workers and their unions. Now there is a mob to end all mobs. You can’t fire them and they grow like weeds. They can vote themselves anything they want. At the city, state and Federal level the country is going bankrupt paying wages, pensions and benefits so high that it has become the only growth industry in the country.

Those who orchestrate and manipulate these mobs are called politicians and bureaucrats and they are a deadly cancer. Instead of working for the people they appease and do the bidding for their collection of mobs. They are assisted by the media mob that works the American plantation like the compound it has become. Even the AARP mob spent millions to defeat the privatization of Social Security when in fact privatization meant that the people (they ostensibly represent) could keep more of their own money.

The voice of the individual is now being heard at the tea parties. It is the antithesis of a mob – it is an expression not of Republicans or Democrats but of individual Americans who see their freedoms and liberties being drained away by the mobs and those that lie for them at city councils, state houses and in Congress and the Administration.

The tea party folks want to save the America our Founders built. They want to cut out the cancer the mobs have infected the country with. Let’s see how they fare against the elegant and efficient mobster-in-chief standing squarely in their way promoting massive socialism through redistribution of income and wealth and ably assisted by the rent-a-mob ACORN. Our Founders must be turning over in their graves about now worrying that the tea parties won’t grow powerful enough to kill “king socialism.”
