There is a question that has been asked of Barry
more times than I care to count, and asked even before he was first elected
president. It’s the one which asks, ‘Is Barry
“Almighty” a Socialist?’ Barry certainly
has been on the receiving end of more than a few accusations of being such, or even
worse, a communist, since becoming president.
But his many devoted followers, both in government and out, have always called
that a stretch. And it’s from those within
the state-controlled media that Barry has received, and continues to receive, some
of his most ardent defense against such accusations. But it’s because of Barry’s own words and
actions that those accusations continue to this very day, as the end of his
presidency finally nears.
And has been reported it was during a
question-and-answer session during the Barry's recent trip to Argentina that he told young people there not to worry about labels or what socio-economic system
might work best. And so it was to those
gathered at a town hall style meeting in Buenos Ares that Barry said, “So often
in the past there has been a division between left and right, between
capitalists and communists or socialists, and especially in the Americas,
that’s been a big debate.” He said, “Those
are interesting intellectual arguments, but I think for your generation, you
should be practical, and just choose from what works.” Now mind you, never once did he suggest that they
check out how history has treated each philosophy.
But Barry would go on to say, “You don’t have to
worry about whether it neatly fits into socialist theory or capitalist theory.
You should just decide what works.” Now
I think we can all agree that that is a far cry from the pro-capitalist message
pushed by most American politicians, both Republican and Democrat, who lived
through the Cold War and the many attempts by communist regimes, specifically
the Soviet Union, to spread their oppressive ideology throughout the world. But knowing Barry as we do after having
watched, and listened, to him over the course of his presidency, it really
comes as no surprise. It has always been
quite obvious that Barry is no fan of the system that has made this country the
most prosperous country on the planet.
You see, it’s in Barry’s world that young people,
like those who were listening to him, are seen as being little more than clay,
waiting to be molded by the politicians with the greatest power. And in his world, socialists are having the
greatest influence on them, especially when they can do this inside schools and
away from parental influence, or by politicians who are master manipulators and
invited to give speeches at such schools. Mr. ‘No-label’ has been the king of labels as a
campaigner and as a president, and he knows it. But again, as we have seen so many times
before, it is always whenever Barry is on foreign soil, it doesn’t matter
where, that he always thinks he can make up anything as he goes along and get
away with it.
So Barry say, "Just decide what
works"? I’d say that's a rather
overly-simplistic rationale for government intrusion, especially considering
that he's decided in advance, whether or not it actually "works". Which, by the way, is never the case. Now you
know why Barry's economy is an abject disaster throwing millions more into
poverty, millions more off full time to part time jobs, and has doubled the
national debt. It's all about 'what
works'. At least for a ‘community agitator’ intent on transforming America. It's so obvious what works and that Socialism
doesn’t work. Free people engaged in the free enterprise system devoid of
government control does work, and it’s without government interference that it
works even better.
Socialism serves to impoverish the most people, it
drags almost everyone down to the lowest common denominator. The connected rich
do very, very well as they control the government. Capitalism (as free market as you can get
with government existing) pulls people out of poverty and allows most the chance
to do quite well. That's because what limits you is your own drive to become
successful, not government intervention.
Social issues cannot be solved by government. That's because government
will ALWAYS stomp on the rights of the people in its attempt to affect social
change. Social issues tend to
manipulated in such a way as to allow those in power to divide the populace, increasing
the odds they can stay in power.
So rather than telling these young people to simply,
“Decide what works,” I think it would have been far more responsible to tell
them to look around, look to other countries to see which system has produced
the kind of results that they wish for themselves. To see which system it is that would provide
them with the best opportunity to have the kind of life that they hope to have
for themselves, and their families.
Suggest to them not to listen to the recommendations of others, like
himself, but to check out how history has essentially evaluated each system and
to then judge for themselves. And that
if they do that they will quickly come to understand how it is that Socialism has never worked anywhere.
