My husband and I were talking about the subject of capitalism the other day while driving home from our daughter and son-in-laws place.

We randomly ran through a list of people who have so called “Made it” because of our Dreaded Capitalism here in America. And rather than go through a complete explanation of why I think it’s absolutely absurd and hypocritical for example: a movie star, or a famous artist to  literally hate capitalism, I’d like to politely remind them, that it’s because of Capitalism, that they can use a particular talent or knowledge and make a living doing so!

It’s because of Capitalism we have Microsoft and Bill Gates, Forbes Magazine, Apple Computers, Donald Trump, and on and on __if it weren’t for Capitalism in our Society, you wouldn’t know or benefit by any of these people,__ think about it?!?

: an economic system characterized by private or corporate ownership of capital goods, by investments that are determined by private decision, and by prices, production, and the distribution of goods that are determined mainly by competition in a free market

The Dems say Capitalism is falling off, and not providing a punch to the economy anymore__Here’s a thought,__ stop all the damn regulations and high taxes on the Entrepreneurs and they may return___but that would mean, the Government would lose control of them__DOH!

GOD BLESS AMERICA

OPINION: What the Hell has happened to this damn Country!?! Shutting down a child’s Lemonade stand?? Kids selling lemonade is about as American as Apple Pie. And the earliest form of learning capitalism. The child was selling Lemonade and going to donate the money to her parents for a trip to Disney World. I’M TELLING YA, The Liberals start training children early, teaching them not to believe or practice capitalism. If I had the Frickin’ money, I’d have sent her myself! What a bunch of Idiots!

Absolutely absurd!

I would’ve thought by now, that a Demoncrap with some kind of Kahunas & common sense would step up to the plate and throw a screaming pitch of “NO” to The Bambi Administration concerning the future closing of Gitmo, and releasing the detainees therein. But as of yet, the Democraps spend thrifts continue to amaze even me. I’ve seen a lot happen in 52 years, but this Administration has struck and all time low.

Closing Gitmo, with no plan what so ever, other than to release the prisoners into our society. A door will roll open, A click to unlock the handcuffs and If I remember right I’ve read somewhere authorities were thinking to try and release  some prisoners on an island surrounded by water,….. Yeah,….I can see it all now, a big sign saying “WELCOME TO FANTASY ISLAND!”

Yeah That’ll Teach Those Nasty Ole’ Terrorists, not to mess with us, huh!?!…

My God, This War on Terrorisum (I don’t care what you politically correct idiots call it now) is not even over yet and you want to free those responsible for 9/11? Are we still looking for Bin Laden or are we now looking the other way? Will these detainees be surveillanced? Will neighborhoods be notified. Will they be allowed to work or are we going to keep them too, give them homes to live in? What says they won’t find there way back home???…any of this sinking in?

DHS is concerned about a concentration of  terror cells in the United States now. DHS has already released a lexicon about us terrible ” Right Wing Extremists”, but then do a stupid assed 360  turn around and plan to free Known terrorists into our society, despite your un-warranted fears. Fears of Conservative common folk who loved America the way it was, before you Mr. President & your Crazy Pack of Bangees came along!?!

This Makes Absolutely No Sense What-so Ever! The only thing that does make sense, that if theres 30 detainees released in the US, they’ll be forever grateful and as a reward for good behavior, you can then grant them citizenship and that’ll be 30 more votes for you sure in 2012, won’t it?

I’d like to know, What the Hell for a kind Ego trip you Democraps on or what the Hell your Smokin, because none of you act like you know what your doing’?

Your living in a Fantasy and your going to get us all Killed! But If we live,  and when your term/s as President is through, the next Administration can come after YOU and prosecute YOU for War Crimes as to what you did or did not dol!

America is not about a future vote,  Mr. President, it’s about a Historical past, a past, that got us to 2009,  we want to know if there will be anything left of America when your through with her?

God Bless Us

The Immature attitudes of the Liberals since Bambi took office is beginning to become old news. The Libs have control of the office of the President, the House and The Senate and are not only smearing The Bush Admin. but those of us who are Conservative as well.   We are apparently still being portrayed as extremists. It appears, Even when they the Dems win, they continue to demonstrate to be idiots.

Republicans don’t need to be re branded or update to be popular, we vote on principles not popular sentiment, as I’ve posted many times before. Liberals Seem to think, were out of touch with our old world values, that we are to just cowher and let you Libs do as you please without opposition. When we do oppose, we’re then labeled as insubordinate of  Federal Authority. I believe we have reached the time to say that you Liberals need to get a life of your own. Stop looking at those of us who oppose your agenda as threats, which is ludicrous!! I can’t help but wonder why, it’s so important that all of America need to find your Liberal  Socialist & Fascism policies appealing. Although without our opposition, your agenda would be much easier to sell. A lot of what is done can be undone! In less than four years there’s another Presidential election, and at most we’ll have to endure your Socialism  Agenda for 8 years. But then, just like an aging stage star, your brief and shining moment in the sun, will be gone and you will be history.

We have enough trouble brewing in the Middle East, to have this type of Domestic unrest here in America. But as usual, the Bush’s & the Conservatives will continue to be to blamed for the division, as we hold our ground and not roll over to popular beliefs & culture of the Swift movement of the Liberal Party.

As a Conservative, I will continue to scoff, at being labeled as an Extremist and thought of as a threat, for merely exercising my right as an individual to freedom of speech. I will continue to be Pro-GOD,  Prolife, pro Capitalisum, Con on Big Government to be allowed to own & operate corporations such as GM, Chrysler & Banks with hire and fire privileges. I will continue to give a thumbs down to taxing future Generations not even born yet, to support present dead beats that our Government continually props up and teaches our young that Government is the only way of things. Instead of encouraging people to be independent enough to better themselves. I will continue to scoff at Washngtons News Media, and the Obama Administration insisting that Americans need Government intervention in their lives. I was to have been an abortion myself, ( due to my mothers  illness) 53 years ago, you the Government didn’t intervene and save me. Given Government view on abortion, I would have died. God saved me, and he and I have done well without you and your Fascist agenda! My family and I”ve lived under the same roof over for over 30 years.  It’s been a struggle but we’ve made it so far and by the grace of the good lord will continue to do so! We have a life  and we will continue on no matter what the Obama Admin throw at us, our stance as Conservatives will stand. and we will not waiver or compromise or rebrand our party. We will continue to be at peace with God & ourselves, regardless of what or who trys to remake America. We view and rubuk the current administration, and we realize it is only temporary. In our heart or hearts, We know, This will always be the America we remember as children. STRONG, A NATION OF GOD FEARING INDEPENDENT MEN AND WOMEN, WHO RAISED US TO BE THE SAME……MAY GOD BLESS US

Good Grief…You Democraps think the worlds gonna change because Spector Defected from the Republican Party, I hate to tell Ya’, He defected years ago, he just now made it official and he’s trying to save his job.

Spectors  party change,  isn’t some kind of a critical win. Honestly, You Dems have won. You’ve got Bambi for President & Democraps in both Houses. But Don’t think for a Minute, Repubs are going to roll over & play dead.

Being a Repub to us simply means that we don’t vote for popular sentiment and aren’t members of the pop culture. In fact, we resist it. We’re not trendy. We don’t change our Religion or Party as soon as something doesn’t suit us. We tend to believe in God, the Founders, the Constitution and the American Family consisting of a Man and a Woman!

With that said, You Dems seem to think we’re out of touch, old world and always the party of no! Well a lot of times your exactly right. But in actuality  God, Country & Liberty, which is our Basic beliefs is what help kept America Strong for 222 years. We don’t believe Government has the answer for everything. We don’t believe in you medling in our lives. You Dems don’t give a rats a*s about We The People, all your worried about is your own careers & pensions, imposing more & more tax, spending and trying to control us, til’ you think we’re dumbed down and manageable enough, that we won’t stand up against you anymore, WRONG!

I’ve always rooted for the under dog, because underneath it all they always somehow shine! If us Repubs are under the dogs, well then “Woof, Woof”, throw me a Bone and let me at the nearest Fire Hydrant!!. Republicans are Republicans because we believe in Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness and we do so regardless of our circumstance. In conclusion, I kinda figure God is leaving you Democraps in control for a while, just so us Republicans know the difference between RIGHT AND WRONG, and We Do!…But Thanks for the Reminder!

I actually had the time to sift through the net today and comb through my stack of news papers and listen to the last hour of Rush, and it just saddens the Hell out of me, by whats happened to America and how a very short period of time. Some of it was on it’s way before,……..On one hand we have our current President, bashing the Former President & Vice President and possibly threatening to prosecute the Bush Admin’s CIA, supposedly for what was done while in office. Secondly we have the Gay Community screaming for Gay Rights & Tolerance & Legal Marriage reform, then we have a Miss USA contestant, answering a question she was asked by a disgruntled judge who apparently didn’t like her “Unpolitically correct answer and called her a bitch her for it. We have TARP1, TARP2,  GM’s going Bankrupt, even after the bailout, and shutting down for a while. There’s apparently a few of the banks that want to pay back their portion of the bailout money, but the treasury is saying “NOT SO FAST”,  it looks as if Freddie Mac’s CEO committed suicide, The Dept. of Homeland Security have accused simple Christians, naysayers of the Obama Admin and returning vets from Afghanestan of being “Right wing Extremists”.  Apparently you’ll make out better being on unemployment, rather than working because your tax won’t be as high. You’ll make out even better than that, if your an illegal alien, apparently you’ll even get paid for it. Then we have, the mighty stimulus package, that our great grand kids’ll pay for. Tax day Tea Party Uprise, with talk of a Million People March on Washington. Rude assed Leftwing Reporters, who ask questions and can’t tolerate the answer,  pirates taking over American ships leaving the crew with no recourse & holding hostages, threats of gun control on law abiding citizens, FREEDOm OF SPEECH THREATS….

…. But……. there is a Rumble in the Distance,…… it’s at the very early stages, but people are beginning to once again, stand up for what they believe, irregardless of being politically correct. They’re angry as Hell and they’re disgusted ….They’re scared of what the future holds, …Socialism or Capitalism?……you can hear it in the Distance….. the Voice of the People…….

THE VIGILANT AMERICAN

“LIBERTY CANNOT BE PRESERVED WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE AMONG THE PEOPLE”
JOHN ADAMS

We were British subjects when Early America, Engaged in a Battle within it’s own power….
Below is the story of the MEN WHO SACRIFICED EVERYTHING, TO GIVE BIRTH TO A NEW NATION……

THE DECLARATION of INDEPENDENCE …..It was the year 1775 when fifty-six courageous men broke free from English rule, each with a hope in their heart of forming a more perfect union. The men came from all walks of life. Twenty-four were Jurists & Lawyers. Nine were famers & eleven were merchants. There were owners of large plantations, well educated men of stature & means.
As they gathered and signed the Declaration of Independence each of them knew full well the dangers if captured and that Death would surely follow.
Five of the original signers were captured and tortured before their deaths.
Twelve had homes & property plundered and burned to the ground. Two lost their sons while serving in the Revolutionary War. Another lost two sons to capture. The remaining nine died from hardships and or wounds resulting from the War. Those that survived, went on to become some the most well respected & prominent men of that time in society and in history, such as THOMAS JEFFERSON, the principal Author of the DECLARATION of INDEPENDENCE & the third President of The UNITED STATES of AMERICA….

Reading the history of our early beginnings, one cannot help, but visualize, 56 men meeting in secret, like a pack of what I’m sure England would’ve called Vigilantes.
These men had a vision, a truth. Although they’ve separated from England and were wanted men, ignoring the bounty on their heads, to risk it all to form a new Nation…. As ancestors of these men, we continue to enjoy today the Hope & Freedom the Founders fought & died for.
The precursor to the Constitution was written and was called, the Articles of the Confederation. It was set into place to further protect the newly formed Governments of States from, recreating the centralized power that these men scorned & fled from in Great Britain.
However, weaknesses in the Articles of Confederation (was actually the first constitution) became apparent before the Revolution ended. Even before the thirteenth State of Maryland conditionally joined the “firm league of friendship” on March 1, 1781, the need for a revenue amendment was widely conceded. Under the articles, Congress lacked authority to levy taxes; instead, it could request the States to contribute a share to the common treasury. The amounts gained through this technique were not sufficient. To remedy this defect, Congress applied to the States for power to lay duties and secure the public debts. Twelve States agreed to such an amendment, but Rhode Island refused its consent, thereby defeating the proposal.
The Liberum Veto emphasized a second weakness in the Articles of Confederation. Each State possessed the right to veto whenever amendments to that instrument were proposed. Not only did all amendments have to be ratified by each of the thirteen states, but also all important legislation needed the approval of nine States. With several delegations absent, one or two States were often able to defeat legislative proposals of major importance.
The period between the adoption of the Articles of Confederation in 1781 and the drafting of the Constitution in 1787 has been seen by some historians as one of weakness, dissension, and turmoil, and by others as basically stable and prosperous. Although the Constitution was drafted in 1787, it did not take full effect until it’s ratification in 1789 and once completed, provided the frame work for the organization of The United States Government.
This Nation has survived 222 years as Blood continues to spill & men died to protect what the original 56, drafted and called a Nation. God the Supreme being was revered & feared and kept at-the-fore front. The worship of God brought powerful, magnificent men to their knees in prayer, in both times of strife and at times of peace. Powerful men such as George Washington & Abraham Lincoln. “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and a religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the Government of any other” JOHN ADAMS
It is essential for us as Americans to remember where we came from, as we look forward to an uncertain future. As we go about our daily lives, it would do us well to keep our eye on the prize, which is Liberty. For It’s is easy to take liberty for granted, when you have never had it taken from you. Dick Cheney
Guided by the past, with Hope & Prayer for the Future, is The Vigilant American. TLN 2009

Although the White House say’s Obama wasn’t aware of any Tax Day Tea Parties, The tens of thousands of people who attended them across the Country, the pictures told a quite different story! It didn’t seem to matter whether you were Republican or a Democrat, if your are sick of the “New Wave” of Government, they were there. I’m sure the reporter who rudeness on Camera with a man and his child at one of the parties, was quite upset when the protests continued, despite her arrogance to him. Apparently Mother didn’t teach this woman Manners as a child.    To my knowledge the assembly of the American people across the country was a peaceful one. And It showed that Grass Roots Folks can conduct themselves without a leader and it was a Grass Roots assembly!

Newt Gingrich in New York, Glenn Beck at the Alamo in Texas, Hannity in Georgia, (with John Rich, singin his new single ” They’re  Shuttin’ Detroit Down”. The People were fired up  Sending a Message to Washington to change it’s ways, ” THAT THEY’VE HAD ENOUGH!

These Protests didn’ just target lower taxes. Signs ranging from NO SOCIALISM, STOP ABORTION, STOP PORK BARREL SPENDING, IRS NO FAIR TAX YES, SAVE OUR CONSTITUTION to NO MORE BAILOUTS! It’s about time Washington listen to it’s people, and It’s about time the people take back their Country! Despite the Rhetoric of popular sentiment “ONE NATION UNDER GOD” remains  alive and well. Unarrogant and determined are the People! Even though, the Accusations from Department of Homeland Security’s release “THE RIGHTWING EXTREMIST’S” 10 page analysis of us “TERRIBLE RIGHTWINGERS” painted a different story. Apparently those of us who believe in the Constitution, Pro-life and against same sex marriage and even our soldiers, are supposingly a threat. I have a copy of this, you can find a PDF printable copy at www.thelibertypapers.org

While I was upset about it at first, for Government to STOOP THIS LOW, I decided it was yet another ploy of Washington to scare & control the people out of assembly and I’ve decided to ignore it. Washington and Those Responsible for writing this will find out eventually, THAT RIGHT WILL PREVAIL! It always does! AMERICAN PEOPLE WE HAVE WASHINGTON’S ATTENTION, WHETHER THEY WANT TO SEE IT OR NOT, DON’T BACK OFF NOW, WRITE YOU REPRESENATIVE’S TODAY AND OFTEN, THAT’S WHY THE ARE THERE! TELL THEM YOU’VE HAD ENOUGH, THAT AMERICA NEEDS TO GET BACK ON TRACK.

GOVERNMENT STILL IS, FOR THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE! GOD BLESS US AND AMERICA

Capitalism is an economic system in which wealth, and the means of producing wealth, are privately owned and controlled rather than state owned and controlled.^[1[2 Through capitalism, the land, labor, and capital are owned, operated, and traded by private individuals either singly or jointly,^[3[4 and investments, distribution, income, production, pricing and supply of goods, commodities and services are determined by voluntary private decision in a market economy.^[5[6 A distinguishing feature of capitalism is that each person owns his or her own labor and therefore is allowed to sell the use of it to employers.^[3[7 In a “capitalist state”, private rights and property relations are protected by the rule of law of a limited regulatory framework.^[8[9 In the modern capitalist state, legislative action is confined to defining and enforcing the basic rules of the market,^[8[9 though the state may provide some public goods and infrastructure.^[10

Some consider laissez-faire to be “pure capitalism.”^[11 Laissez-faire (French, “leave to do (by itself)”), signifies minimizing^[12 or eliminating state interference in economic affairs and the competitive process, allowing the free play of supply and demand. Laissez-faire capitalism has never existed in practice.^[11[13[14 Because all large economies today have a mixture of private and public ownership and control, some feel that the term “mixed economies” more precisely describes most contemporary economies.^[15[16 In the “capitalist mixed economy“, the state intervenes in market activity and provides many services.^[17

During the last century, capitalism has often been contrasted with centrally planned economies. The central axiom of capitalism is that the best allocation of resources is achieved through consumers having free choice, and producers responding accordingly to meet collective consumer demand. This contrasts with planned economies in which the state directs what shall be produced. A consequence is the belief that privatization of previously state-provided services will tend to achieve a more efficient delivery thereof. Further implications are usually in favor of free trade, and abolition of subsidies. Although individuals and groups must act rationally in any society for their own good, the consequences of both rational and irrational actions are said to be more readily apparent in a capitalist society.

Capitalistic economic practices incrementally became institutionalized in England between the 16th and 19th centuries, although some features of capitalist organization existed in the ancient world, and early aspects of merchant capitalism^[18 flourished during the Late Middle Ages.^[19 Capitalism has been dominant in the Western world since the end of feudalism.^[19 From Britain, it gradually spread throughout Europe, across political and cultural frontiers. In the 19th and 20th centuries, capitalism provided the main, but not exclusive, means of industrialization throughout much of the world.^[20

Socialism refers to a broad set of economic theories of social organization advocating public or state ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods, and a society characterized by equality for all individuals, with a fair or egalitarian method of compensation.[1[2 Modern socialism originated in the late 19th-century intellectual and working class political movement that criticized the effects of industrialization and private ownership on society. Karl Marx posited that socialism (the disappearance of class and therefore state) would be achieved via class struggle and a proletarian revolution after a long transitional stage from capitalism called the Dictatorship of the proletariat.[3[4[5

The utopian socialists by later socialist thinkers, and include Robert Owen, who tried to found socialist factories and other structures within a capitalist society and Henri de Saint Simon, the first individual to coin the term “socialism” and the originator of technocracy and industrial planning. The first socialists predicted a world improved by harnessing technology and combining it with better social organization, and many contemporary socialists share this belief.[6[7 Early socialist thinkers tended to favor more authentic meritocracy, while many modern socialists have a more egalitarian approach. There is disagreement over the extent that National Socialism is socialist; although Adolf Hitler’s party program included socialist elements, the Nazis did not nationalize industry, but instead created a highly regulated economy with state-led economic planning.

Socialists mainly share the belief that capitalism unfairly concentrates power and wealth among a small segment of society that controls capital, creates an unequal society, and does not provide equal opportunities for everyone in society. Therefore socialists advocate the creation of a society in which wealth and power are distributed more evenly based on the amount of work expended in production, although there is considerable disagreement among socialists over how, and to what extent this could be achieved
