Keep Your Friends Close, But...

OK for the last week I have been reading. Reading socialist/communist propaganda. Why would you do that you ask? Simple Michael Corleone was correct. Keep your friends close but your enemies closer. What did I read you ask? The Communist Manifesto I only perused it actually and also The Jungle by Upton Sinclair. Both were written before the bolshiveks took over in Russia and the Chi-coms were ruled by Mao.

The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx set up what is definitely the "fairest" system of government, on paper. Unfortunately for millions of people who have had to live under communism they did not live on paper but in the real world where God gave man free will. Along with free will comes free thought and ego and a realization that we are not all equal. Under communism people at the top were just more equal than others. If communism were allowed to truly be, in its purest form, there would be no war, poverty, sickness, jealously basically all would be perfect. Ok when in human history have we seen this, oh that's right the cavemen. They all had to work together to survive everyone was equal there was no monetary system, to a communist this must have been a perfect time. Let's see how did that work out the Neanderthals were wiped out and it took thousands of years for neighbors to become trusting enough to become city-states.

Now The Jungle is nothing more than the same old bullshit we see spewed from the leftists today. Innocent little lambs come this country and at every turn they are swindled and taken until they have no money. I say they bit off more than they could chew and choked. Then the city (Chicago) swallows the kids some dead some living on the streets. The job runs out after an injury and it is the Corporation's fault. He stepped in a hole. The evil corporation would not do anything to help him even though he was out of work for months. Today it is Big Oil back then it was Big Beef or the Beef Trust. Then the women became prostitutes the lead character becomes a cog in the Chicago political machine. America eats up this whole family and nothing gets better until he joins the socialists now we would call them communists. This book was written as a socialistic manifesto but all people got out of it at the time was outrage over the lack of sanitary conditions in the beef packing industry.

As I read this book I laughed out loud, what else could I do? I realized, very early in this 350 page piece of America hating crap, these leftists have been spewing these same tired cliches about America for over 100 years. We are big and bad and need to be stopped and we are run by heartless corporations. Blah, Blah, Blah. Whether it comes from Upton Sinclair or any of the asshole media douchebags it is the same message and they still have no clue. The last 4-5 chapters tell us how great America would be if it were socialist/communist. Hey assholes people are still coming to this country in droves some are even dying on the way. America is a great place to be, even if only for a few more months. Now understand that your boy Obama comes from the same Chicago democrat machine that Sinclair rails against in this book. But principle means nothing to these people they are democrats after all.
