Obama loves every body but Americans

"David LaBonte"
My wife, Rosemary, wrote a wonderful letter to the editor of the OC Register which, of course, was not printed. So, I decided to "print" it myself by sending it out on the Internet. Pass it along if you feel so inclined. Written in response to a series of letters to the editor in the Orange County Register:

Dear Editor:
So many letter writers have based their arguments on how this land is made up of immigrants. Ernie Lujan for one, suggests we should tear down the Statue of Liberty because the people now in question aren't being treated the same as those who passed through Ellis Island and other ports of entry.

Maybe we should turn to our history books and point out to people
like Mr. Lujan why today's American is not willing to accept
this new kind of immigrant any longer. Back in 1900 when
there was a rush from all areas of Europe to come to the
United States, people had to get off a ship and stand in a
long line in New York and be documented. Some would even get
down on their hands and knees and kiss the ground. They made
a pledge to uphold the laws and support their new country in
good and bad times. They made learning English a primary
rule in their new American households and some even changed
their names to blend in with their new home.

They had waved good bye to their birth place to give their
children a new life and did everything in their power to
help their children assimilate into one culture. Nothing was
handed to them. No free lunches, no welfare, no labor laws
to protect them. All they had were the skills and craftsmanship they had brought with them to trade for a future of prosperity.

Most of their children came of age when World War II broke out.
My father fought along side men whose parents had come
straight over from Germany , Italy , France and Japan . None
of these 1st generation Americans ever gave any thought
about what country their parents had come from. They were
Americans fighting Hitler, Mussolini and the Emperor of
Japan . They were defending the United States of America as
one people.

When we liberated France, no one in those villages were looking
for the French-American or the German American or the Irish
American. The people of France saw only Americans. And we
carried one flag that represented one country. Not one of
those immigrant sons would have thought about picking up
another country's flag and waving it to represent who they
were. It would have been a disgrace to their parents who had
sacrificed so much to be here. These immigrants truly knew
what it meant to be an American. They stirred the melting
pot into one red, white and blue bowl.

And here we are with a new kind of immigrant who wants the same
rights and privileges. Only they want to achieve it by
playing with a different set of rules, one that includes the
entitlement card and a guarantee of being faithful to their
mother country. I'm sorry, that's not what being an American
is all about. I believe that the immigrants who landed on
Ellis Island in the early 1900's deserve better than that
for all the toil, hard work and sacrifice in raising future
generations to create a land that has become a beacon for
those legally searching for a better life. I think they
would be appalled that they are being used as an example by
those waving foreign country flags.

And for that suggestion about taking down the Statue of Liberty , it happens to mean a lot to the citizens who are voting on
the immigration bill. I wouldn't start talking about
dismantling the United States just yet.

The Truth About Socialism

About month ago, former ACORN CEO Bertha Lewis said during a speech “Any group that says I’m young, I’m democratic, I’m socialist is alright with me.”
OK, if it is only alright with her maybe we can just ignore it.
But listen to this. During an interview, Al Sharpton said “The American overwhelmingly voted for socialism .they elected President Obama.”
Wow!!! Is that true? Do Americans really want socialism?
If I understand correctly, the main reason for America to fight the Korean and Vietnamese Wars was to stop communist spread over the world. It was really not too long ago America gave hundreds thousands of lives to fight against communism and to protect the free world. Today, only19 years after cold war finished, are Americans already opening their arms to embrace communism?
I know somebody is already screaming at me:“ You don’t know what you talking about. We want a socialist country, not a communist country.”
I know what I’m talking about. Unfortunately I know socialism and communism very well. I experienced them, I was taught communism and socialism since I was 1 year old and I know that socialist country is the precursor of communist country. As a matter of fact, a real communist country has never existed in this world. The so called communist countries like the Soviet union and China were truly communist party controlled socialist countries. Communism is a well designed lie. To make it sounds nicer, I can put it this way: The real communist country, for human been, can only be a dream.
I’m from People’s Republic of China. Today, by government controlling less and giving individuals more freedom to make decisions for themselves, opening free markets……China has become the fastest economic growing country in this world. 1.3 billion people rose from poverty. But from 1949 the year the country was founded to 1979 China was a solid socialist country.
Unfortunately I lived during those years in China. Since socialism become very popular in the U.S today, I can’t help but remember those old days, those hungry days, those crazy days, those days we lived under socialism.
I want to tell you the truth ,nothing but truth about socialism.

1. Great Communist Goal

In 1949 after the communist party won the civil war in China. The People’s Republican of China was born. In this country, communist party completely controlled all the militaries and Government. It was called “communist China” by the free world.
Not wasting any time, the new government started to tell people “We are going to build the greatest country in this world. It is called communist country. It will be the best country for any human to live. There will be no government, no police, no rich nor poor, even no cashier will be needed. Everybody will live a equal, rich and happy life. By contributing a fair share of your labor ,you will get everything you need from our country.”
For deeply confused people to understand, the government had pictures drawn like this: in the morning, you get up and eat a nice breakfast and you go to work. You can work at any job you like such as a bus driver, a school teacher, a inventory stoker, a doctor or musician……. there are no classes for jobs and individuals, there are no high or low pays for different jobs, everybody social and economic equality, simply, you don’t get paid, by the end of the day, or it could be any day you want, you can walk into a store, or any store, such like clothing store, furniture store , art store…….for example, you walk into a grocery store, you will see there are all kind of groceries you can think about on the shelves, you simply pick up anything you need or you like or you want to have and walk out of the door.
“Wow!!! this is amazing ,this is almost like living in heaven !!!” People shocked, “but , is this can be true? Where are those stores?” people questioning .
“of course yes!” Government said, “It will become true some day in the near future, not right now, communist is our goal, to reach that great goal, we have to start to build a socialist country first.”

2. Social and Economic Equality

“what is socialism?” people asked.
Like communism, socialism’s core principle is to apply social and economic equality to every people in this country. It is strong foundation for communist.”
China was a agriculture country at that time, more than 80% people lived in the suburbs as farmers, within them, about 10% own big farms. this group of people was called the RICH . ( a person who own a farm, a factory or a business was called “rich” by communist government at that time). about 50% own small piece of farmland ; about 40% do not own their own farmland, most of them rent land from the RICH or hired by the RICH; this group people was called the POOR.
Long before communist party won the war, they knew if they wanted to really control and truly rule this big country, they had to get support from farmers, and the picture was very clear, the POOR was more than the RICH, actually those 50% of farmers who own small piece of land can take care of themselves very well without a war. but communist would like to consider them as a part of the POOR, because communists knew that just offer them little more free farmland, that 50% will support communist too.
In 1949, communist already won the war by using the POOR to fight for them, now, they needed to use the POOR to enhance their power and reach their real goal: nationalize the whole country.
So the new government focused on the POOR again.
“farmers, factory workers, soldiers, from today, you are the true owner of this country, and we are the servant of you, we can not let rich have everything and leave you nothing, our priority is to make sure to apply social and economic equality to you, you deserve it ,you deserve a better life!!!”
“Are you really going to give me land to farm and house to live?”
Farmers asking.
“yes! yes! Yes! From today, we are here for you, everything we do, is for you, is to make sure you POOR people get a better life!” government said.
You can see tears running down from farmer’s face.
“long live chairman Mao! long live socialism! I will use my life to protect you!!!! POOR Farmer’s were very excited.
Simple people didn’t know, devil offer you a bread, is because devil wanted your soul, you may or may not get that bread, but surly you will lose your liberty .
Soon, using POOR farmer’s name, Government killed those RICH farmers, and divided their farms and all other possessions to the POOR farmers.
Some POOR farmers didn’t want the government to kill those RICH,
Most of the RICH just some hard working smart people, after generations hardworking, their farm got bigger. And now, they have to die for that.
But, life was moving on, soon, people forgot those RICH, and enjoy the farmland from them.

3. True Color of Socialism

About 1954, government started to talk to farmers again: “as you wish, we divided the farmland equally to you, but now, there are new problems, even the size of the land is equal, but, some land is rich, some land is poor, somebody is skillful farmer, somebody is not, somebody is stronger or younger , somebody is weaker or older…….. The result is, By end of the year, some body harvest more, somebody harvest less, another word is, during last three to four years, somebody become rich, somebody become poor. This is not fair, This is not what we socialist country believe, this is not what you believe. we want apply social and economic equality to everybody, everybody deserve a better life.”
“Right now, the Only solution is, let government own all the farmland, and let every people work together, by end of the year, after harvest, government will divide the harvest equally to everybody……..”
The new RICH didn’t like this idea, they thought: I worked day and night on my farm, I watered every crop with my sweat ,I earned everything with my hard work. those people harvest less is because they are lazy, they didn’t try hard enough …….
But the new POOR love this idea, they thought: this is another good news from our great government, four years ago, government give me free land, that was wonderful, but the land will not grow food on it’s own, I have to work hard on the land, and I’m not very good about it. Right now, the new idea means, even I don’t do anything, by end of the year, I will still get the same every thing other people get, this is wonderful for me…….
On one hand, Even the new RICH didn’t like that idea, but they dare not to say anything, by supporting government to kill those old RICH and divide their farms, they already traded their soul with that piece of free land. they had already gave government the right to take from the Rich to give to the POOR, and now, it is their turn, they are the new RICH. Beside that,
on top of all that, they still remember how those old rich got killed by been the RICH.
On other hand, new POOR overwhelmingly support this idea. those people didn’t even have a soul, they were ready to take any thing which was FREE, or just sounded FREE to them.
So, under the name of “ poor people deserve better life ”, under the great idea of “social and economic equality”, government took over every inch of the land from all farmers.
In the city, of cause “ factory worker’s deserve better life!”.
Some of the RICH abandoned everything they had and fleet to Hongkong or other country.
The government didn’t want those RICH just run away and left a dead factory or business behind, they wanted a smoother transform. because most the members of communist party were POOR farmers or workers, they hardly even knew how to write their names, they surely didn’t know how to run a business or a factory.
So, at the beginning, government told those city RICH :don’t run away, we will not harm you, just let government to be the partner of your factory, you will be fine.
Unfortunately that was all lies, after government thought that their people could handle those factories, businesses, most of RICH got killed or jailed…….
Communist government clearly knew, unlike those POOR farmers, most of RICH were intelligent people, they had brains and common senses, they would never believe those communist happy pictures government drawn for their people, they would never believe any body or government can apply real social and economic equality to every body, they believed that wealth come from hard working, not government, so, they had to die.
Small business owners(they own some thing very small such as selling some home made candies) saw the situation, they begged government to take over their business and everything they had just try to avoid to be physically harmed.

Didn’t take too long, socialist government took the whole country’s properties under their control: all the farms, factories,mountains, rivers, businesses, schools, newspapers, radio stations ………there was no middle ground for people to stand, everybody in the country had to depend on government and be controlled by government, there were no other choice.

Since government was gaining new powers and territories every day, it was becoming bigger and stronger every day. by the time when some body finally woke up from their dream of “government will give me a better life” and found out they was fooled, it was already too late, government already become a giant monster, nobody can challenge it.

4. What Socialist Government Really Give To People

After 30 years the socialist government controlled the country. After 30 years the government kept telling farmers and factory workers the only reason the government took control of the total economy and natural resources in this country was to make government able to apply social and economic equality to them. They would not be poor any more and they would live a better life. Let’s take a look and see what kind of better life the farmers and factory workers had experienced.
Let me show you some numbers:
This is the average income for people living in suburb (farmers)
1953 $46.54/ YEAR
1957 $39.59/ YEAR
1973 $54.87/ YEAR
1977 $60.97/ YEAR
The exchanging rate here is adopt the rate of 1953-1970, it was 1USD= 2.46RMB (Chinese currency). Today’s exchanging rate is 1USD=6.82RMB
Below is the average income for people living in city.(government workers, government owned factory and business workers……)
1950 $226.42/YEAR
1962 $221.13/YEAR
1969 $231.70/YEAR
1979 $274.39/YEAR
If considering inflation rate, people’s actual income was less and less every year.
To live on 46.54 USD for a whole year? for 365days?????
People who lives in the United States can never imagine what kind of life it is.
But that was not the most shocking numbers. Take a look of this number:
Between 1959 to 1961, a widespread famine let 20 million people starving to death, most of them were farmers.
During China’s Cultural Revolution (between 1966-1976) 30 million Chinese died for political reason.
Those POOR farmers who dreamed about that government would give them a better life ended up to be the free slaves of the government, after all the farmlands and every thing else were nationalized by government, farmers lost almost every thing, they had to put their hands and keens on the ground to grow food to feed that giant government and their giant militaries.
The only group of people who really benefited from socialism was the group of people who controlled government, run government, had big power in government. Those people had all kind of privileges and had accesses to any natural and man- provided resources. On top of that, they got the right to control Chinese people‘s destiny.

So, the picture become very clear, there was never the case of “giving poor people a better life” ,or “apply social and economic equality to every people”, that was just the excuse to redistribute wealth, and to redistribute wealth was for redistributing power.

Remember, there is one kind of addiction called power addiction.
Those power monger leaders like Stalin or Chairman Mao clearly knew that there was no such thing so called “social and economic equality” in this real world, those just the bait to fool those simple, weak-minded, greedy, poor people, they knew human been’s weakness, and they won.
This is not some fiction comedy, This is the very truth about socialism, you can find all the information and numbers on the internet.
This was happened 30 years ago in China, this is happening right now in North Korea, this can happen to anywhere if there people don’t protect their freedom. You have freedom today doesn’t mean you will have freedom tomorrow. Open the history book, more than 90% of the time in human history, people lived under dictatorship and tyranny.
President Reagan said: freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.

5. The U.S Socialist Trend

Back to now, in the United States, 2010.
Our government said to us: “our health care system is broken, we need reform it.”
Most sensible people said : “yes, our health care system is having problems, we do need a reform.”
Then, government said: “every body deserve a health care in this country.”
Wow!!!!!
This is a statement other people hard to argue and hard to win.
Nobody can say “no” to this, if you say “no”, liberal definatly will read your “no” as “poor people should die if they get sick”. that is not political correct. No way to win.
“OK , how can we do this? to let every body to have a health care no matter they can afford it or not.” sensible people asked.
“greedy insurance companies are only care about profit, they can not do this, the only way to do it is to let government control health care, if people can not afford it, government give them for free.” government said.
“this is a too big bill, how can we pay for it?” sensible people asked.
“first, let tax on those rich. you don’t need worry, we only tax on those very rich people, not you. Then, let business owner buy health care for every one who are working for them, and then, we give them a fine if they fail to do so…….” government said.
“No, this is gone too far, look, we have a decent vehicle, the only problem with it is the tire broken,we only need to repair the tire, not need to crush down the vehicle and build a new one.” sensible people said.
“Don’t you see hundreds, thousands people died every day because no insurance?” government said.
I saw tears in Nancy Pelosi’s eyes when she mentioned somebody who suffered cancer without coverage.
“I’m fighting for those people!!!!” she said.
“This will bankrupt our nation!”
“No, this will save money, reduce the deficit !”
“ The spending will loss control like other government program!!!”
“Let pass it first, then, people will understand how good this is!!!!”
Yes, another word is: “give me the power first, when I put people on the government free health care list, those people will support me,support this bill. If I need more support, I simply put more people on this list! If still not enough, let me give free citizenship to those illegal immigrations, that will make them to support me, let me give more people free food, free house…..those people will forever support me, vote for me ………”
Have to say, our leader understand human weakness very well,they know how powerful is the word “free”.
Yes, human been can not over come this weakness, if today, McD announces: “tomorrow is a free hamberger day, anybody come to any of our store will get a totally free big Mac .”
No any doubt, millions of people will show up at McD for this 4 dollar big mac despite how bad is the weather,how long to drive,how much cost for gas,how long the line have to wait……maybe the cost of the whole effete is way higher than that 4 dollar hamburger, but, still, nothing can stop people want some thing free.
Right now, the bill just passed over a month, lots of people already called and asked where they can get their government free health care.
I don’t know if those people who got cancer without coverage, who kept our leader up at the middle of night and had a feeling of heartbroken, who energized our leader to fight and played any possible dirty tricks to pass this bill will get saved or not. But, one thing we all know is, by the end of the day, under the name of “every body deserve health care”, government gained big power and territory. American people lost part of their freedom!
Under this law, government had new names, and new reason to collect more tax on whoever they want, gained power to force citizens to buy health care, to force citizen to pay a fine if he refuse to do so…….
Just heard on FOX news today, government budgeted 10 billion dollars a year to expend IRS, to heir people to enforce this law……..
This is shocking, this is something not expected to happen in the United states.
“what is next?” sensible people want to know.
Yesterday I prayed: “God, please do not let our government say:
“every body deserve to have a house to live in this country” .
“every body deserve to have T-bone steak to eat everyday in this country”
“every body deserve to have a yacht in this country”.
……
You must think I’m rich, I’m the one do not want to “share” my wealth with POOR people. No, I’m not rich at all. I don’t have a yacht, I don’t own a house, I can’t afford T-Bone steak every day. I just one of the ordinary people who happened to understand that if we give our government the right to take every thing the rich people have, we will not be able to stop our government to take every thing we have. Even I’m not rich, but every thing I have are valuable to me, especially my freedom, I don’t want anybody touch them. It is like that you invited a tiger to your dinner, as soon as he get into your house, he will not eat whatever you want him to eat, he will eat whatever he wants to eat, and YOU may end up to be the dinner of him.
