Independent Together
By Peter Andrew ConservativeAmerican.org
President Obama was criticized by Europeans this week for his “collective good” economic plan which they said was “a way to hell.” From Fox News:
“Czech Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek, whose country currently holds the EU presidency, told the European Parliament that President Barack Obama’s massive stimulus package and banking bailout “will undermine the stability of the global financial market.”
The huge debate right now seems to be between Obama Collectivism vs. American Individualism. We know which is better; individualism.
Obama spoke again this week about all working together for the good of the larger community and said it is only when we work together for these common goods that the best of us can be brought out. Of course we can work together for common goods. But when he is talking about working together meaning taking money from the productive and giving it to the unproductive because he thinks that is “common good,” then he is very wrong. Robin Hood style redistributions of wealth are collectivism and go against what made this nation great. We reward the productive, not the unproductive. We help the helpless, but we don’t reward incorrect choices and behaviors. At least we used to avoid that. Now, however, we reward bad behavior and incorrect choices. Democrat-Socialists do it on purpose. Unfortunately, it is a method used by powerful left politicians and willing black American accomplices to hold the minority populations in this country down. It is racist and has destroyed the black American family. Still, the democrats sell it to them as the “only way” out of their misery. In fact, it is the exact opposite. It is a carefully crafted method to hold down minorities. Still, today we have a President (half black) who wants to redistibute wealth and make the state more powerful than the individual.
Even Rudolph and the little dentist elf understood the founders of this great nation better than Barack Obama does. They knew the American dream was to be “Independent!” And, as silly as it sounds, they knew we had to be “independent together.”
Like the little elf dentist, we each have to (on our own) strive to be our best, to educate ourselves, to better ourselves and to pursuit the happiness of our souls. We can support each other in these quests for individuality. We can establish and maintain a great republic that preserves the rights of the individual over the state.
Rudolph gets it. Instead of a red nose that glows however, our president has a Pinocchio nose.
