As the World Turns...left

"As the World Turns...left."
By Steven E. Masone

The awarding of the "Nobel Peace Prize" prematurely to President
Obama, for what he intends to do, not only is an obvious attempt by
the socialist's who comprise the committee to help Obama's prestige
and world standing, it has cheapened the Award almost as much as they
did when Al Gore won it. One pundit pointed out that, "They really
awarded it to show how much they disliked the previous administration
rather than any achievement as yet by this one."

The question is, do we Americans want the rest of the world to
like us so much, we will 'lock step' to the left like little school
girls vying for vain popularity? Or will we be more like the USA that
has always helped fight the threats to freedom and liberty no matter
what the socialists or fascists were able to do through their
controlled press and propaganda machines? Before WWII when America
wanted peace and no part of another war, we were belittled as
"isolationists" who were abandoning the world to Nazi fascism. To this
day we still wonder... were the lives lost at Pearl Harbor sacrificial
lamb's?... giving us the excuse to commit to full scale war?

Every time we get involved with European politics and attempt to
please the world opinion, we get burned. It has been shown that no
matter how many American lives we give, nor how much economic aid that
should be going to our schools and infrastructure, the socialist and
communist of this world will never accept our form of freedom as a
Democratic Republic. Our economic power base is supported by the
capitalistic system that any American regardless of birth and station
in life can participate in and rise to the top of society and the
corporate ladder. In Europe their socialistic 'elitist' system is
still closed to those except of royal birth and family dynastic rule.


While throwing the 'bone' of health care and welfare to the
masses, their upper class ruling elite has never changed, they use
capitalism and our free markets to make trillions for their elite, but
deny the opportunity to the least of their citizens while feeding them
the propaganda of how decadent and greedy the capitalistic Americans
are. America is the new 'whipping boy' of Europe. It is no longer
politically correct to blame their troubles on the Jews, so we get the
'role' of the cause of the world's problems.

Perhaps the leaning to the left is what the 'moderates' need to
experience in this country for a while in order to wake up! The
moderates or swing voters who gave us this morass of liberal
socialistic "we just want to be loved" big government albatross, may
not find the weight of it all around their necks worth it.
 

When Russia was the "bully" the whole world loved us and anything
"American" was desired and sought after. Once we were the only 'tough
kid' in the schoolyard though, we were the new bully, no matter that
the fights we got in were our fault or not. America should enter into
a new era of "isolationism" and let another "bully" take over the
block again so they can cry and beg once again for the USA to come to
the rescue and help an ungrateful world who wants what we have but
refuses to adopt the model of democracy that made us what we are. Next
time we should say "no!!!"... unless they try a "right turn" for once, as
every time they turn left and we don't, they hate us for it.
