Socialism, what does it Really mean?If someone asked you on the street to define Socialism, what would your answer be? Would it be based on what you have seen and heard in mass media, what you have been taught through public schooling and/or higher education, or what you have researched to better understand the political sense of the word? Most people when asked what Socialism means would probably equate it to a bad thing where government runs our lives and controls all we have and do. It doesn't matter what political party an individual subscribes to, they have been programmed with buzz words and definitions via mass media. These messages are viewed and heard everyday through television, radio, or online, to incite fear, anger and confusion. A person may then ask a trusted friend who seems well informed and knowledgeable what they think of Socialism. That friend repeats what they have seen or heard, everyday, via their chosen form of information. If that friend is truly knowledgeable, well versed, and gives an articulate answer about Socialism, the average person will be bored and sorry they asked because it requires to much thought. And, it would contradict all they have seen or heard everyday at work and at home via the media machine.
I challenge you to Google an image search for "Socialism" and find one positive image or connotation on the first 3 pages. ***Warning*** Even with "Moderate" filters in place the Hate will assault you! Fear and Ignorance abound!
So, what Is Socialism? It is what ever You define it to be in your reality. Whether you define it with your own research, knowledge, or what you see and hear, it truly is what You make of it.
Don't let society define you, you define society! Is that Socially PC? You decide.
Meanwhile, back in his own mind, the pooch is in unfamiliar territory!
They have sipped their tea and now must trip on it! Let them sip more of what the Tea Party has to offer! I'm rooting for the Tea Party to win ALL the GOP Primaries! Party On Tea Party! Give them Tea or give them LSD! Either way it amounts to the same heady brew for the greedy "NO" party trying to regain the wheel of the Caddy they totaled! They have sump pumped Sarah Palin's Tea and drunk it, juiced it up with Joe Miller, and hexed it with Christine O'Donnell. Michele Bachmann has been sipping this brew for years and probably brought the Tea Bags to the party in the first place! In any case, I'll volunteer to serve the next round for this party! This Tea is something they can no longer say "NO" to! Drink up GOP, This round is on the house!! (the next rounds will cost you though - crack dealing 101)
Meanwhile, back at the Tea Party, the pooch is serving it up!
ciao
Democrat, Republican, Independent, it doesn't matter which party you subscribe to, You will be affected by this ruling. If getting your candidate elected at any cost is what you desire then this ruling is for you! But, as with anything bought on credit, you have to pay the piper when the marker comes due! Anyone remember the big corporations and conglomerates that we bailed out with our tax dollars? TARP ring a bell? To Big To Fail? Those are the entities that will now be able to spend Your hard earned tax dollars freely to elect a government of their chosing. And who is paying for their government? We, the taxpayers. We bailed them out, shored them up, and now they can spend that money to buy back their power with impunity.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the pooch is getting screwed again!
Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann, and now, Christine O'Donnell. Wacky, Wackier, and now Wackiest! What is in this Tea that all these Crazy people are drinking? What does Jesse Ventura have to say about this? There has to be some kind of conspiracy going on for all these naive people to believe the enormity of the manure this trio is spreading! Oh Wait, Jesse has been sipping the tea too! In the 60's this would have been a Communist plot to take over the USA! Maybe that is what is happening? Or, Maybe, it is a new brand of social terrorism unleashed upon the gullible and naive to rend and tear this country in two! And, in this scenario, it appears to be working! Fear is Terrorism and this trio of Wacky Wonder Weasels are spreading it on thick to incite fear and distrust for their personal agendas! Fertilizing all the open mind fields with explosive BS while offering tea leaves to cover the stench of the elephant excrement being shoveled in the brew.
Sarah is building her army of grizzly moms and mayhem one widget at a time!
"Yes We Can"! More people need to say it and Believe it!
Boehner and Buddies! They truly are the party of "Hell No You Can't" and this Boner is a shining example of what they stand for! It's no surprise they choose the loudest voice among them to rant and represent their party of obstructionism. Let us not forget they spent Eight years with shovel and pick, furiously digging a money pit of National proportions. And then, when the people had enough of their greed and failed policies, throwing their sorry hind ends out of power, they whine, snivel and cry, yelling "Hell No You Can't" and refusing to play ball until they get their way!
GROW UP! Stop acting like a bunch of spoiled children trying to use schoolyard mentality to get your way! Instead of continuously repeating "Hell No You Can't" maybe you need to have a get acquainted session with the chalk board and write "Yes We Can" a couple hundred times until you can learn to play fair and take turns!Say it; "Yes We Can"!
Meanwhile, back on the playground,someone is wagging the pooch!
Did they really think all that oil just magically disappeared? Evaporated into thin air or got gobbled up by microscopic oil munchers? Perhaps there is a micro-society living in the ocean that are just as oil dependent as we are, greedily consuming the spill to power their economy as well. That would make it alright, wouldn't it?
A new slogan for BP: Feeding The Microshphere, Oil, Powering Even Our Smallest Neighbors!
And, how much coverage of the spill do you see or hear about on the major networks now? No more 24 hour cameras showing the gusher on the sea floor or news crews combing the beaches for tar balls to analyze and display for the masses. No more oil covered pelicans or dead marshes because once the well was capped everything is right in the world and that doesn't sell advertisements!
In the end, millions capitalized and exploited spill time while the real victims are quietly ushered into oblivion by ignorance!
Meanwhile, back at the pier, nobody interviewed the pooch!
