"But, you say, we destroy the most hallowed of relations, when we replace home education by social.

    And your education! Is not that also social, and determined by the social conditions under which you educate, by the intervention direct or indirect, of society, by means of schools, &c.? The Communists have not invented the intervention of society in education; they do but seek to alter the character of that intervention, and to rescue education from the influence of the ruling class.

"[ Bourgeois Socialists: ]

The second category consists of adherents of present-day society who have been frightened for its future by the evils to which it necessarily gives rise. What they want, therefore, is to maintain this society while getting rid of the evils which are an inherent part of it.

"What day? Our US Senators return to DC the Tues after Labor Day. That next FRIDAY, Sep 11, is Patriot Day, designated in memory of the nearly three thousand who died in the 9/11 attacks.

Now, I am not a conspiracy theorist, but I believe it has been clearly shown that some on the Left, knowingly have strong Socialist leanings. There are many others who don’t recognize this path for what it is. They are apparently ignorant of history and operate from two personal motivations. One is emotion driven. The government’s job is to take care of those of us in the masses, because we can’t take care of ourselves. The other is the desire to obtain and retain the power that gives them. However, there are lessons in history that should be learned well, and remembered, or we will be doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past.

Nazi Germany was considered to be on the “Right,” and in some respects, that could hold some credence if you don’t take the time to actually read and think about the big picture at the time. However, Nazi Germany was actually Facist, with strongly centralized government power, most of that power lying with one person. That person was Hitler. That’s what made it Facist. It was cult-like, revolving around him. (Does that ring anybody’s bell about now?)

Below you will find just a few key points I found interesting, in the 25 point program of the National Socialist Party of Nazi Germany, which grew out of the German Worker’s Party, with the influence of Hitler.

7. We demand that the State shall make it its primary duty to provide a livelihood for its citizens. If it should prove impossible to feed the entire population, foreign nationals (non-citizens) must be deported from the Reich.

10. It must be the first duty of every citizen to perform physical or mental work. The activities of the individual must not clash with the general interest, but must proceed within the framework of the community and be for the general good.

We demand therefore:

11. The abolition of incomes unearned by work.  The breaking of the slavery of interest

13. We demand the nationalization of all businesses which have been formed into corporations (trusts).

16. We demand the creation and maintenance of a healthy middle class, the immediate communalizing of big department stores, and their lease at a cheap rate to small traders, ….

17. We demand…… the passing of a law for the expropriation of land for communal purposes without compensation; the abolition of ground rent, and the prohibition of all speculation in land. *

19. We demand that Roman Law, which serves a materialistic world order, be replaced by a German common law.

20. The State must consider a thorough reconstruction of our national system of education ……… The curricula of all educational establishments must be brought into line with the requirements of practical life. The aim of the school must be to give the pupil, beginning with the first sign of intelligence, a grasp of the nation of the State (through the study of civic affairs).

23. We demand legal warfare on deliberate political mendacity and its dissemination in the press. To facilitate the creation of a German national press we demand:

(a) that all editors of, and contributors to newspapers appearing in the German language must be members of the nation;

(b) that no non-German newspapers may appear without the express permission of the State. They must not be printed in the German language;

(c) that non-Germans shall be prohibited by law from participating financially in or influencing German newspapers, ………The publishing of papers which are not conducive to the national welfare must be forbidden. We demand the legal prosecution of all those tendencies in art and literature which corrupt our national life, and the suppression of cultural events which violate this demand.

24. We demand freedom for all religious denominations in the State, provided they do not threaten its existence not offend the moral feelings of the German race. The Party, as such, stands for positive Christianity, but does not commit itself to any particular denomination. It combats the Jewish-materialistic spirit within and without us, and is convinced that our nation can achieve permanent health only from within on the basis of the principle: The common interest before self-interest.

25. To put the whole of this programme into effect, we demand the creation of a strong central state power for the Reich; the unconditional authority of the political central Parliament over the entire Reich and its organizations; and the formation of Corporations based on estate and occupation for the purpose of carrying out the general legislation passed by the Reich in the various German states.

I then realized the things that are happening, have not just sprouted. They have been germinating for decades. The building blocks have been being laid for quite some time. These include the Great Depression, President Franklin Roosevelt’s policies, the Unions on steroids, the Civil Rights Movement, Supreme Court Justices that “legislate from the bench,” the welfare programs of the Great Society, the anti-war, free love, pro-drug, revolutionaries of the ‘60s, and the apathy and ignorance that has grown among the American population and those in leadership positions concerning their history and America’s founding principals. However, the time was not “right” for these seeds to truly take root and grow, until now. The catalyst is President Obama. However, he could not do it alone….nor is he.

I remember watching then Illinois-State Legislator Barack Obama as he gave his first major speech while at the Democratic National Convention in 2004. I knew that would not be the last we would hear from him. I thought even then, that this man was intentionally chosen and would be groomed for more. I knew nothing about him but what was said that night. However, as I watched, something seemed amiss. There was “fire” in his words, but coldness, in his eyes. Even now, that coldness remains, as well as, in my personal opinion, hints of an inner anger.

Now, there is much more known, found in his own recorded speeches, written documents and books. His family was Progressively liberal. He was raised with no clear spiritual grounding. He was abandoned by his father. His mentor as a child in Hawaii was a well-know, proudly professed Communist. He was drawn to the Anti-American elements of society. He chose to associate with those who knew how to obtain and retain power and influence, and not always in honorable ways. He was a “Community Organizer.”  He has talked about his disagreements with the U.S. Constitution. Having an opinion as to when human life begins is “above” his “pay grade,” so he supports barbaric partial birth abortions, and the withholding of medical care to babies that survive abortions. I could go on.

As for Congress, too many of them have become oblivious to what their true duties are and where their real loyalties lie. They exhibit an arrogance and elitism, looking down on the citizens they are supposed to serve. This is shown in their rush to push through legislation, without even knowing what is actually in it, for political expediency. Remember the last stimulus bill? The final draft had not even been printed! They are taking advantage of current events by riding the coattails of the personal popularity of the President. (But this is dropping.) The most recent blatant example of their arrogance is the reaction they have shown in words and deeds, concerning the Tea Parties and town hall meetings with their constituents. President Obama has also joined in their condemnation of this free speech. He has established an email address specifically for people to send "fishy" information they find about the Health Care Reform bill. He has urged his “supporters” to speak out loudly at town hall meetings as well. That would be fine, except, they have not used just words, as demonstrated by the thug tactics of ACORN and SEIU members after that call to action.

The common thread through-out recent events seems to be a true lack of understanding and appreciation of the American form of government, the principals upon which it was created, and how that great gift actually benefits everyone willing to take honest advantage of it. One example… is me. The personal details are not important here. Suffice it to say, I have, and continue to benefit from living in this great country based on my own desires and perseverance!

We, the American Citizens need to loudly and strongly, give The President, Congress, and our state governors and legislators, a refresher course in American History and Representative Republic Democracy.

1.                  As The Declaration of Independence states; “Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers  from the consent of the governed.”

2.                  As for the continued building of a “Welfare State,” Benjamin Franklin stated; “I am for doing good to the poor, but I differ in opinion of the means. I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it.
