Clinton sure bet to support socialism
The former members of the Soviet Politburo, Fidel Castro, Chinese communists, Hugo Chavez and other heads of communist regimes applaud themselves when giving a speech. They all join their audiences in this gesture of self approval.
Hillary Clinton does the same thing and that tells me a lot about this liberal socialist (but millionaire) Democrat candidate. Her mesmerized audiences fall for her when she talks about socialized medicine, overtaxing the rich, making the oil companies spend their profits in her own plans for the redistribution of wealth, her socialist reform of education and ultimately, making everybody equal, etc.
It is indeed frightening. She exploits the Hollywood mentality of many sectors of our society that all must end like a fairy tale. We will all have to depend on government programs to be happy ever after.
These are just plain Marxist doctrines that curtail individual effort and which never worked in the Soviet Union, or China. That nation is moving toward capitalism, and its economy is booming. But those doctrines play very well in the minds of some people whose lives are not on par with the rich or the upper middle class. The liberal Democrats, supported by the liberal press, know how to play the class envy card very well in order to gain power.
Hillary's admiration for some Soviet Marxist communist writers and philosophers that have influenced her throughout her life is indicative of what is coming to this country if she is elected. She will indeed plant the seeds of worse things to come.
If women will vote for her just because she is a woman, and the liberal press elevates her candidacy because of its Hollywoodesque socialist view in which they perceive the poor, minorities, and illegal immigrants all as "victims", it says a lot about our collective ignorance.
There certainly will be a price to pay some day for this ignorance. It took 74 years and millions of victims in the Soviet Union who paid with their lives through dreadful social purges and dislocated government programs. Do we really want to start that here now?
And for those who say "it couldn't happen here," I say it already is happening here.
