On Marxism and Spreading the Wealth

The Constitution of The United States has been the catalyst for making this country the strongest, wealthiest, most innovative and generous of the modern world. Obama has said that it is unfortunate that the Constitution restricts his ability for "redistributive" policies. He also said that he looks at the Constitution as a "negative bill of rights" for the government. The Constitution does not grant us rights; rather, it protects our natural rights as human beings from a large, over-powerful government. Our country has become the wealthiest nation on earth by millions of individuals using this freedom afforded them by the Constitution to pursue, through self-interest,
their dreams of a good life by working hard, being responsible for their own lives, and using the fruits of their labor to better the lives of their families. These hard working individuals have a long history of being generous through charitable giving. Liberals are goodhearted people, but the problem is that they tend to be generous through big government "stealing" every American's labors to give to the "needy". The first problem with this is it makes the government stronger. Every piece of legislation passed is that much less freedom we have. The second issue is that in no way does the government know how to spend my money better than I do, usually wasting it on unnecessary programs (Cash for Clunkers, anyone?). I can't afford a new car, so why should my money be used to buy other people cars? "Free health care-" LOL. I didn't do well in school, got married and had kids before starting a career, both my choice, my responsibility . I have a brother-in-law, who has worked his tail off his whole life, going through many years of education, many years of mountainous debt and hardship. Now he is a very well known and well off plastic surgeon with a family. Now answer this. If my family needs medical care, do I have a right to his property, or the part of his life he spent to earn that property, or does he have the right to benefit from the fruits of his labor? Liberals look at him as the "evil rich" and want to tax him to death to pay for their lack of personal responsibility and life choices they have made. This is a Marxist attitude. Obama has it and the sheeple who have been taught that they are victims of the system (capitalism), and only the government can save them, have it too.

Isn't it funny?

Moammar Gadhafi at the U.N. said that if Obama were president forever, he would be very happy. Hugo Chavez and Castro had a laugh saying that they had to be careful or they would end up to the right of Obama. Why is it that these tyrannical "leaders" love Obama? Is it because they see themselves in him? Do they think Obama will champion their cause? At the U.N., Obama never spoke of the greatness of America, only that we are no better than the rest of the world. We scoff at the idea that we could become like Venezuela, Cuba or any socialistic dictatorship, but I believe Obama has this vision for not just America but for the World community. Obama has expressed willingness to speak of a world currency, dropping the dollar that he so conveniently devalued by spending and borrowing us into oblivion. He has surrounded himself with communists, socialists and the like his whole life as well as bringing them into the White House. It isn't funny that he and these tyrants have so much in common. What is funny is how many Americans go along with and even vehemently support this man and his ideology.
