[Rhodes22-list]Political commentary of my Heritage of thought toBrad

[stan]

> troubled childhood.
> 
>> What is all this about?  The answer is politics. 
>> Mr. Kerry espouses
>> policies that at the least are socialistic and verge
>> on dictatorship by
>> federal decree.  That is dictatorship of the
>> proletariat, which by
>> definition is Communism. 
>> 
>> The greatest advances in the quality of human life
>> have occurred
>> when people have been given freedom to choose in the
>> market place of ideas
>> and products.  There always are those who think that
>> their way is best and
>> everyone else should be compelled to the same.  
>> 
>> The terrorist in Iraq and Afghanistan are trying to
>> compel all
>> others in those countries to do as they say. 
>> Advocates of socialized
>> medicine say that everyone should get the same
>> program as determined by the
>> government.  Communism says that everyone should put
>> into society and
>> receive back an equal share.  Those unable to put in
>> anything are still
>> entitled to an equal share.  The result has shown
>> that even those capable of
>> putting in more slack off because they get an equal
>> share regardless of
>> their contribution. 
>> 
>> Let us understand that one candidate advocates
>> socialism and one
>> advocate's capitalism.  One advocates copying the
>> failed economic policies
>> of Europe and one is an iconoclast of capitalism.  
>> 
>> Enough said.
