A Revolution is Slowly Raising--Liberty or Socialism and Communism?

Liberty must carry on

What price are you willing to pay for a State controlled paradise?

This is the Revolution of Liberty in America.

These days if you bring up the idea of revolution to the average American they will most likely look at you as if you have spoken another language. The very idea of revolution is often considered campy and quaint rather than taken as a serious method to bring about political change. Although, the amount of average American`s who are unwilling to accept the idea that revolution is needed to save America from ruin is becoming smaller by the day.

There is a slow raising revolution happening in America and the political establishment does not want to give it much credence. For many professional politician to make a public statement that the people are unhappy with the job they are doing is to fire themselves. There is no professional politician who is willing to fire themselves; unless a scandal boils to the surface which could hinder their ability to make future profits from their political standing. These bought and payed for politicians would rather state that the people are simply expressing their views on issues which concern them. The professional politician would also state that they are listening to the `opinions` of the people and will take those `opinions` into consideration. The trend in American politics has taken a drastic shift in recent decades from the will of the people to the will of those with money and single minded ideology.

This drastic chance of the political winds of American leaders has created a huge vacuum in public concern and public interest. The result, apart from massive public anger and disenfranchisement, has been extreme socialism and communism making its way into American politics. Top socialist and communist thinkers have been able to fill some of the vacuum of a lack of the people`s will in government. Promises of better health care, more funding for schools and local infrastructure from the central government have lead some Americans all too ready to welcome a more socialist and communist form of central government in America. These socialist promise that they can get the government to better serve the people; but at a cost which is not mentioned or presented to the American people for having a so-called voice of the people in government.

One of the key issues that the socialist and communist use to coax the people into following them is that the people are not getting what they pay for. They preach that the government takes so much of your money and give you little in return. The socialist and communist promise that they will use all those tax dollars to better care for the people`s needs. They promise health care for everyone, less hungry and poor Americans, more social services, and most of all a more safer nation for our children. The socialist and communist make a lot of promises; still leaving out the price Americans will have to pay for those promises to be fulfilled.

What is the unspoken and often down played price Americans will have to pay for a state controlled paradise? Americans now pay some of the highest taxes in the world. The central bank,i.e. Federal Reserve, collects massive debts of the US government from taxes payed by the citizens. The central government already runs up debts which are becoming almost impossible to ever fully pay off. The current national debt of America currently stands at over nine trillion dollars. Everyday the US takes on an average of 1.69 billion in debt a day. Each Americans stake in the national debt is over 31 thousand dollars. These numbers are very high and have happened under a capitalist system grown very out of hand. Under a socialist/communist system it is the government which provides the majority of services and basic needs of the people. One can only image the deep dark hole of debt that Americans will fall into if the socialist have their way. The debt alone caused by even more outrageous over spending by socialist, in an effort to provide for the people, would forever take an Americans ability to be free from the state away. Everyone would owe the state from the time they are born to the moment of their death if socialist and communist are allowed to take control of the government.

The lose of personal liberty is a big hidden price that the socialist and communist do not want to tell the American people. In a state controlled nation there is only one political opinion; the opinion of the state. Elections may still be held but it will mean little if all political parties are vested in the interest of the state. The rights and freedoms of the individual mean little when the interest of the whole are of more important concern to the government. In a socialist government it becomes a requirement of the individual to follow the masses and fall in line with a cookie cutter policy rather than modify ones ideas and opinion to fit ones own life. All rights of the individual become the rights of the state to be given or taken away as the state deems necessary.

While socialism and communism is packaged and presented to the American people from both the Democrats and the Republicans there is a slow raising revolution in total resistance of the `new way` in American politics. A revolution calling for the return to the US constitution and the ideas of the nations founding fathers is finding ground in the American political scene. This revolution also demands a shut down of the Federal Reserve which is ruining the value of the dollar and making wage slaves out of Americans. Many call this revolution the Liberty revolution. A small but determined group of people falling under the recent banner of the presidential campaign of Dr.Ron Paul has sparked a outcry of a return to liberty in America. Supporters of Ron Paul call their mission the Ron Paul revolution but this revolution has far out grown a single political campaign. Member of the liberty revolution have swarmed the internet spreading the message of a return to liberty in America. From the internet to actually running their own political campaigns for office at both state and federal levels this revolution is not going away. Mass protest and rallies are planned on a regular basis by these patriots demanding their full liberty be restored. Despite constant efforts by the mainstream media and both ruling political parties to quill this revolution it has only continued to gain in both numbers and influence. The next few years will indeed be a very interesting time in American history.

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Nice. I sure wish more Americans could or would open their eyes. Thankfully it does seem to be coming around. We shall see what happens. That's really what keeps me going.

What's going to happen next....
