"it's basically, do you want a society based on collectivism or individualism?"
"In a socialist economic system, production is carried out by a public association of producers to directly produce use-values (instead of exchange-values), through coordinated planning of investment decisions, distribution of surplus, and the use of the means of production.
They generally share the view that capitalism unfairly concentrates power and wealth among a small segment of society that controls capital and derives its wealth through a system of exploitation."
From Wikipedia:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialism
Here is, Donald Berwick, Obama's appointee to run Health Care in America, whose economic system has become more Socialistic since 2008.
Berwick was appointed, of course, during the Independence Weekend Holiday. Shouldn't someone with the power to make decisions that affect our health be vetted before being appointed? Well this doesn't happen if the President doesn't want the appointee to have to be scrutinized.
If you like Socialist Countries...then maybe you would like to move to:
- People's Republic of China
- Cuba
- North Korea
- Laos
- Vietnam

Is Socialism what you wanted?
Was this the "Change We Need"?
If not what are you going to do about it now?
Here is a posting by one of my Patriot Sisters with some good ideas about what you can do:
My church has a slogan that I’d like to share with you. It reminds us that we are all capable of being involved to strengthen what we believe in. It is -Time, Talent and Treasure. I recently attended a local GOP women’s club meeting where the Chairman of the VA GOP spoke to the members. I was struck by what he had to say about political financing. He told us that although the popular thought is that the Republicans are the party of the wealthy, it actually turns out that the Dems are and have always been much better funded in their elections. His point was that it was, “the message,” that brought victory over the massive spending of the Democrats. I didn’t stay with his point. I was struck that the GOP is still being way out spent. That scared me because today, it smacks of corruption. What can we do to push back against them? How can we promote the “message?” In an excellent column in the Washington Examiner Timothy P. Carney alerts us to one of these heavily funded campaigns: The drug companies are spending big to help re-elect Sen. Harry Reid (D-PhRMA). Reid has done so much to help the pharmaceutical giants. The drug lobby has begun a pro-Reid TV blitz in his home state of Nevada... The narrator then instructs viewers to "call Harry Reid today; tell him to keep fighting for Nevada families."... But "Nevada families" didn't pay for the ad. The drug lobby did. In the end, PhRMA shaped "reform" as it wanted. The group ran millions of dollars of ads supporting the bill. Reid passed it. Now PhRMA is doing heavy lifting for Reid. Reid has received $154,000 from Pharma PACs as of May 30, making him the No. 2 recipient behind Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C., whose base is in the Research Triangle. Reid is the only politician to get the maximum $10,000 contribution from PhRMA as of the end of May. He's also the only senator to get the max from Eli Lilly's PAC. The health sector is Reid's prime source of PAC funds: half a million dollars already -- and that doesn't count the TV buys. So…..,what are YOU going to do? Are you going to give of your time? Some of us are strapped for time. However, this cause needs advertisers. Be bold and be visible. This doesn’t require ANY of your time. Think of all of the places you might go in a day. ( I recently drove up to the Jersey Shore with my campaign and Tea Party sticker on my car window. The nicest people come up to you, out of the wood work! So many people are supportive and appreciative. ) This is very visible, free advertising! You can put on a button, hang up a poster, read a book in plain view, put a sticker or flag on the window of your car or door at home. Free stickers, lawn signs and bumper stickers are available at your local campaign headquarters for the candidate that represents your values. Call and ask them to send some to you. That’s a great step and a worthy statement. You can advertise and spread the word as you simply go about your day. This is very effective and much needed. Are you going to give of your talent? Can you sing? Put something on You-tube. Can you write? Send out letters to the editor of your local paper. Are you good on the internet? Cut and paste together information and send it out. Do you throw parties? Pull people together for a fundraiser. Are you good at speaking? You can work the phone banks or give positive support with a phone call. Do you have office skills to lend voluntarily? Help send out flyers, or canvas your own neighborhood. Recently Ken Cuccinelli's son ran a Paintball fundraiser. He took his hobby and turned it into a fundraiser! Is there something that you like to do that could be turned into a fundraiser? Do you quilt? Get together and auction one for the cause! Lastly, are you blessed with treasure? No-a-days, that could be a tough one to consider. If you are able to give, there are candidates all over the country who need your financial help. But treasure isn’t just money. Do you have a car and gas enough to drive around and put up signs? Is your home in a good location for a meeting or fundraiser? Is your whole family able to work together on a project? Can you cook? Offer your talent for a fundraiser or meeting meal. Is there something that you are good at that you can share with others? These are treasures too. These are dire times for our conservative values. You must make it a point to give of your Time, Talent or Treasure. Get up and get to it!
