Socialism. Yeah, it sounds pretty good. But, I don't by any means advocate that we become a socialist society. The idea of capitalism is right up my alley. Until a bunch of money hungry fucks ruin it for everyone. So when capitalism goes unchecked for so long (see distribution of wealth in America/The World), yeah, a little bit of socialism infused into society is a good thing in my opinion. But not if you were listening to any Republican talk during the past few weeks. Socialism has become this country's greatest threat since we had a presidential candidate who was okay with gays getting civil unions (Early September), or a presidential candidate who has "ties" to a 1960's terrorist (Mid July - Early September), or one who doesn't wear an American flag lapel pin (Some time long ago - Mid July). If you are a conservative right now, and that is what you say...you honestly suck. Just say something worthwhile. Anything. Tell me that you don't like big government. Tell me why. Then tell me why you think that way; considering that by many accounts George Bush has been running the biggest government of all time. Tell me why you don't think the healthcare system will work. Tell me you are racist, fuck, it is better than you telling me that Obama is going to make everything socialist. Which is no doubt what you heard Sarah Palin say, or what Hannity told you last night. Tell me one good reason why anyone should actually vote for John McCain. Is his tax plan going to benefit me? No. Will his healthcare plan work for me? No. Will his environmental policies change how America uses it's resources? No. But we will in fact have more resources, because there is nothing like that sweet black gold off of our shores which we will have in our hands. Mmmm.
Just say something. Until then, cling to your guns and your religion. Haha. I was soo happy that Obama said that. It made me love him so much more.
Short lesson in capitalism for any independent in Ohio that happens to stumble across my blog: You have, no, had a job at a manufacturing plant in...let's say Cincinnati. You made a decent wage. Paid bills. Then, you lose your job. Now, the job you had is overseas and being worked by someone in China or Japan. They will work for less than you. Therefore; the company will make more money. Since we have lots of free trade agreements in place, the company has no reason to not follow through with this course of action. Vote capitalism this November. Vote McCain.
Okay...this truely was a rant. I won't even lie to you and tell you I had good intentions. I was just thoroughly sick of hearing the same old shit from the same old people. One week left...please God make it go quick.
And for a column which I found entertaining and funny, read
this.
It pretty much sums up the entire socialism debate. Just wait until the "liberal news media" gets their hands on these quotes, it will be everywhere. Oh, wait, no it won't. Probably because neither the Tribune-Review or the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette had a headline today about the Obama rally at the Mellon Arena.
And since I usually have a picture, and because this blog has been ranty. New word. Here is something to make you smile....

The Abraham Licoln Mii!
