You want a socialist Obama-nation?
I wish the American people would get educated before it is too late. Obama has the most Leftist voting record of any member of the Senate. What should that tell you? It tells you if Obama gets elected with the most liberal congress of all times to support him his Leftist agenda will get passed. That means you will soon be living in the Peoples Republic of America.
If they taught you any real world history in school at all you should know that where-ever Communist socialism was tried it was a failure. Now why would you want to destroy a system that has been working and has made the most prosperous nation on earth for a system that has proved that it cannot work? If the young people and the naive in this country do not soon get educated on the facts about Obama they will be living America’s worse nightmare.
A nice smile and positive talking does not make for sound ideas and sound governmental polices. Find out where your black Messiah plans to take this country before you help destroy your own nation. We know why the socialist elite want to destroy America. They want a “workers paradise” with themselves in charge of the peons, but why do you want to destroy America by voting in socialism?
Here is just a small sample of what will happen under Obama:
A national depression or run away inflation
More abortion
Mass taxation and give away programs that takes from those that produce and gives to those who do nothing,
Gun control laws that will put everyone under the control of government and criminals
Hate speech laws that will not even allow Christians to proselytize
Brainwashing of your children in all schools
Thought police
A Nanny State that will control every aspect of your life and your children’s lives
Huge carbon taxes to fund the world government
If Obama stays on course it will bring civil insurrections and the break up of the Union. Mark my words! I told you beforehand.
When the Communist Party gets behind a candidate, it’s not just words on a newspaper. The party dispatches apparatchiks to work hard for the candidate. It occurs to me we may very well have seen a couple of those workers of the world inside Obama’s Houston office - those ladies flying the Cuban flags emblazoned with images of Ernesto “Che” Guevara.
Think about this now.
Barack Obama is pummeling Hillary in the polls. He is cleaning her clock in the primaries and caucuses. He is leading John McCain in head-to-head matchups with the Republican standard bearer by 14 points!
This guy could actually become the president of the United States.
If he does, it won’t be like the Manchurian Candidate backing into the highest office in the land. If Barack Obama wins the White House, the Communists will have gotten their man the conventional way - through an actual election, working through the system.

I think that all this is bull about Obama, Inflation cannot be any higher than with that iBush gas prices groceries and a high deficit.. As far as I am concerned the Republicans are the only ones who have voted in a crazy man Nixon and a idoit Bush.
Sure inflation can be higher. It can be much higher and it is likely to get much higher. Jimmy Carter had the highest inflation in the history of this nation and yeah, Nixon was partly to blame for that. But Jimmy could not come up with any solutions through liberal economics while Ronald Regan did..
I am not promoting Nixon or Bush but I am just telling people that under an Obama nation the stage will be set for socialism and a inflationary depression that might make you envy the times of the great depression. By the way I am not saying it will be better under McCain. Congress makes law and McCain will also sign a lot of liberal law.
heh heheh,,go back to your survival camp and keep trying to force YOUR religious agenda on the rest of us..Obama 2008
I guess I will be forced to if you godless people should win
That’s not how it works. A president doesn’t just walk into office, snap his fingers, and turn the country Socialist. Socialism does not = Communism by the way, so great job on that one.
Also, care to explain how exactly all of this:
“A national depression or run away inflation
More abortion
Mass taxation and give away programs that takes from those that produce and gives to those who do nothing,
Gun control laws that will put everyone under the control of government and criminals
Hate speech laws that will not even allow Christians to proselytize
Brainwashing of your children in all schools
Thought police
A Nanny State that will control every aspect of your life and your children’s lives
Huge carbon taxes to fund the world government”
is going to happen, magically, when Obama enters office?
Seriously, the president has less power than you think.
I have explained much of this on this Blog so you might read some of the related posts.
I know President’s just don’t walk into office and change this country into socialism. The problem is that the only thing now keeping us from going into socialism and the things that I mentioned in this post is a conservative president.
Put Obama in office and the checks and balances will be gone. We already have a liberal socialist House that would have tried to pass most of these things if they knew they could get it by the President. They are now just just waiting for their man to become President to submit these laws. The Senate controlled by Harry Reed is also Liberal. If Obama gets elected it only takes one Supreme Court judge change to make it liberal and a liberal Supreme Court will be a certainty with Obama as President..
So yeah, that’s how it works when one party controls all three branches of government and the Far Left controls the party and the media. This country is at a turning point. If people elect the wrong man it certainly will turn socialist unless the Senate can stop the bills through the use of the filibuster rule, but I already said in another article that they will attempt to change the Senate filibuster rule if they do not get the 60 seats that they need in the Senate to pass everything. They will only do that if Obama is the president otherwise there would be no point. We saw last term just how devious the liberals in Congress can be when they run the show.
I know socialism does not equal communism. Chinese socialism is not pure communism either but they call it that. I also know that Obama was mentored by a communist and that he went to a Black Liberation Church for twenty years that teaches much of the doctrines of Karl Marx from the pulpit.
I wrote about the coming economic crises in the following article.

All these things Don is saying holds a ring of truth. “Godless” is the best way to describe the leftist agenda. These days, anything that offends the athiests is given the highest priority and attention (See also ACLU) while anything that offends God-fearing people is labeled as religious bias.
Socialism and Communism are different. The same way that a honeydew is different from a cantaloupe. Both of these fruits are still melons. Socialism and communism both promote a state run system where Big Brother knows just what is good for you. I’d rather have a pseudo-democracy where I can at least improve upon existing material and live my own choices.
If people honestly want a president whose support base glorifies the “achievements” of Che Guevera…then all is lost anyway and the nation is truly godless.
Many think things in the U S are going soooo poorly. People are unhappy and the cup will always be half full. Can things be worse? It sure will under a socialist society. It normally brings on bloodshed and incarcerations. Being robotic is not naturally human. People will be walking zombies with little to look forward to. Having children force fed strangers ways of life and taught to turn on parents will be the norm. Having to wait weeks, months, never, to be seen by a doctor for serious medical problems will occur. Wealthy people will be able to hide their money. The middle class will be broken down next to the poverty level. (Why do the rich Hollywood elite back socialism if they’re going to loose their shorts?) With the huge push to bring on world socialism, we all will be under the European power, which will govern you. Maybe prophecy is right around the corner. After weapons are collected, after major bloodshed, crime will run rampant. The American dream will be gone as far as gaining wealth. All will be treated the same. You will be dependent solely on the government. You will obey. Freedoms, including voting, speaking out, is omitted. Rich people may skip the country and set up shop elsewhere. In socialistic, fascism or communistic societies, you think big brother is watching you now? You will be controlled, including attempts of mind control. People think God is no good now and wish to replace him with socialism. In little time, many will be praying to Him. With socialists in control of the White House, congress and senate, some can get what we wish for. Once you become a puppet, it’s next to impossible to cut the strings.
Good for you…you know your facts and are trying to get the TRUTH out….I am tried of my husband getting up every morning and going to work for ALL of those that would just as soon set at home on their butt…and taxes…I quit work this year because we ended up paying the government everything I made! I just wanted to work and make a difference so I got a job at the local middle school as a teacher’s aide….that ’s a real wake-up call! This country is so screwed! It’s really sad to think we went to college (2x each) worked our butts off to get where I am and moved around to help better our family and now that we are alittle comfortable this IDIOT is going to come in and take it away! Hell, I am not even rich my van as over 125,000 miles on it…my medical bills are sky-high even with insurance…oh, but those little kiddies on TNCARE…they go to the emergency room at night for a sore throat….that way they are not charged…Who do you think paid for that? This guy is real trouble and America needs to WAKE-UP! My husband works in industry…industry has already said that if this guy gets in office he is going to pressure non-union industry because he thinks he is GOD…they are making arrangements to either shutdown or move outside this country when that happens….Talk about lost jobs….WOW!
American this guy only cares about himself…he’s arrogrant and too GOD-like to me…I am sure God loves that! He’s a socialist…and if you don’t understand what that is look it up on Wikipedia! Better yet spend some time researching on the net instead of blogging on your facebook page!
I feel your pain. I know people who never worked a real job in their lives yet they always seem to have all the money they need to buy the latest HDTV and have cable with 200 channels and walk around with cell phones stuck to their heads. They also can find the money to smoke and drink and take long trips. I cannot say they take vacations because they have been on vacation all of their lives living off of taxpayers.
Emergency rooms cannot turn anyone down that’s why many are now closing their doors. So guess who really pays the cost for the people who go to Emergency room and don’t pay their bill? You do when you have to go to an Emergency room and that is why the bills are so high. You are subsiding the medical care of others. Actually half of the people in this nation are already subsiding the other half in one way or another. That is socialism and the wealth transfer is going to get much worse under Obama.
Obama has plans for your kids also. It is much like the plans that Putin has for his own brown shirts. People need to read up and find out about the radical that they are supporting instead of just following his glib tongue.
We were just watching a show promoting Obama and his “greatness” and they said he wants to have children put in a “learning” environment from birth-5 years of age…sorta like a pre-pre-pre-school for all Americans….Whose going to pay for that? Why not just have all test tube babies and raise them like cattle? The funny thing is that both of his daughters are in PRIVATE schools and not public but he wants to snatch your little babies at birth and put them in some sort of Obama school where they can learn to be good little socialists! (Wow… that ’s going to require alot of breast-pumps!)
What do you think about this?
And universal health care….I had a C5-C6 fusion about 8 years ago…sometime afterwards we were at a museum with the family…I saw an older man with a cervical collar on and I approached him asking the nature of this problem…He was from England (universal healthcare) and stated he needed the same surgery but was not “high” on the “waiting list” because he was older and not wealthy enough to “offer” additional funds under the table…….WOW—ain’t that a great idea?
Check out this link that is on WND today and you will get a good idea where Obama is coming from and where he is going with your kids.
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=74462
They claim they want your kids at a young age to give them equal opportunity but what they really want is to raise your kids to follow their socialist ideals and to alienate them from non believing parents. Like the Bible says train up a a child in the way he shall go and when the child is old he will not depart from it. They at least know this truth. Every socialist tyrannical government does this with the kids. North Korea is a prime example of how far they will take it when all the opposition is silenced. The nation is now a brainwashed religious cult with the “Dear Leader” being their god.
If you are aware of what Obama and the Far Left really stands for you should see that Obama is the scariest figure we ever had running for the office of the President, especially since he will have control over all the branches of government and the media. People often worried about fascism coming from the Far Right but here is the embodiment of the National Socialist Party (Nazi) change agent walking in through the left door and few Americans even take notice (left is right, wrong is right, and right is wrong in the postmodern helter-skelter depravity of the Far Left).
In Britain if you are over a certain age you cannot even get some life saving medical procedures done at all. What a wonderful free socialist system they have!
I have attempted to leave a comment on here many times but it’s too spammy? If this makes it through, hopefully, take me off the mail list, if I cannot post, I don’t wish to receive. Thanks, Mark
My brother served over 25 years in the military for his country…I am proud of him and have always been proud to be an American…unlike some we have heard from lately! My daughter just graduated from college with honors and is married…she and her husband are involved with a wonderful church where she lives….my son is a typical “teenager” but has a good heart and knows right from wrong….
My heart is broken when I look at what goes on in our world today…fighting, killing, families torn apart…stealing, lying and cheating….just greed! I have taught college and been a teacher’s aide…the last 3 years I devoted to the latter….I came home day after day and cried at what I heard and what I saw…My heart hurts for these kids…no one at home when they get out of school, some don’t know who their parents are or they are in jail…in and out of JuV….troublemakers trying to get someone to pay alittle attention to them all knowing they are just another welfare check to someone somewhere….Some of the children told me the only food or kind words they received all day was while they were at school…I’ve seen teachers take kids out at lunch to buy them new tennis shoes or clothers…I made the least amount of money I have ever made in my entire life (I have an MS degree) but I did the greatest work I will ever do…I did what God would want me to do….I DON’T have to be forced by government to STEP UP and help my neighbors…I AM AN AMERICAN AND THAT IS WHAT AMERICANS DO… NOT BECAUSE THEY ARE FORCED TO!
Sorry Mark, I had a software glitch and could not even get into the comments myself. I think I know what caused it. It is this aggressive spam filter that I put up because I was getting a lot of spam again. That software is now disabled so you should be able to post now. One thing that might set this off is extra long long comments. If it does not work now let me know.
By the way, I have no email lists. The only way you will get email from this blog is if you check the box on the comments saying that you want to be notified of new comments on this post or if you have your own way of being notified of new action of this blog.
Lee Ann, People like you and your family are the hope of America. If it actually gets to the point where good people can do nothing to change what you described, we are finished as a nation. I bet you can identify with Sarah Palin
o, ok, thanks
*The below was a mail I sent to someone in reply to a mail that McCain was against vets, his voting record to be exact. Having over 30 years in uniform, I understand that most all the elite in Washington get better retirements and perks than military retirees, and for less work and time. I had already had my mind made up as to the facts below, well before I knew this site existed. I did not use any info off this site. One has to search gravely for the truth today. I do wonder if it’s close to the time for many to receive that chip in the hand. We may be watching the true end times before our very eyes. It doesn’t really bother me, but it sure will some.*
I’d have to see what was involved with this. Many times pork is added to a bill that will interfere with the true reasons. It’s possible, if a bill was solely by itself, that it had details to as the money would of been spent, with stipulations, maybe not being used properly. With the way libs have been twisting the truth or leaving all the facts out, more than the other side of the fence, odds are there’s more to it than the below. It’s all part of Alinksy’s law. Happens all the time.
If this was all plain, up front facts, it still doesn’t outweigh bringing the nation into the socialist world. Once we go there, we’ll never go back. My children could be taken away. I could end up in prison. Everyone would obey or face possible incarceration or worse. Kids would turn on their parents, rat them out to the system by being brain washed. Speaking out against the system would be no more. Jobs and tasks would be handed down from the government. One may want to be a nurse but will cook instead. Pay could be mostly equal, no matter what your job is. There may be no room to advance nor improvement of life. Worshiping the Christ will be severely dealt with. This is socialism’s greatest enemy. True history of the past will be hidden and rewritten. Some already has in America. Lines to get health care would greatly increase and may take weeks to be seen, as some Canadians have stated, with their government health care. And as that Czech ex-communist president said, “Socialism brings on bloodshed”. Some may say that, and I have heard this, our new socialism will be the ‘mild’ type. No one knows that for sure. I believe the U.N. would be brought in. Even with the recall of guns, many would fight to their end. The U.N. has been after us for years to disarm. The government would need help and the Dem candidate has proven he wants to impress the world. People just don’t understand or care what can really happen to them. People are bombarded with the fact they should be unhappy. They are to look at the people that have more than themselves, working on their natural human greed. They say that they’ll tax only the one’s who made the American dream come true, the nasty rich. The Hollywood elite, that are libs with a ton of money, why do they back this socialist movement and not fear loosing their money? They hire people to keep Uncle Sugar from getting it. They can transfer it out of the states if necessary. Anyone with big bucks can do this. The middle class cannot. To bring on a socialist, more communist society, the middle class has to go. Theirs too much power there. The government has to insure people are dependent on the system. All in all, whoever wants this type of society, especially to gain power, they will always have to look over their shoulder. They best not rest easy. Most everyone is expendable. Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Hussein, Chavez, Castro, the list goes on and on. The best people at the tops of these regimes met their fate on a whim. Millions upon millions have been slaughtered in the name of one type of dictatorship or another. Man will turn on man without God in the mix. It’s factual, proven history. No one can erase these facts, but they will try.
Whatever lies are told us now, by anyone, I’m content knowing that the Lord sees and won’t forget.
Even with all the socialist despots on historical record some of whom you have named. Most elite like Obama still think socialism is the only answer for the world. Why? Because the only solution for the world in their demented eyes is for the more highly evolved enlightened (such as themselves) to get government to force people to do what they know is right in their own bigoted superior eyes. That is why so many egomaniac movie stars are among them. Then they call those who oppose them fascist religious bigots and racists and all the brain dead say amen.
Thank you for the compliment and for providing an outlet to express our opinions…Somebody in Washington should be reading these instead of wasting their time on some of the other trash sites or media outlets….Isn’t it just amazing how the media thinks they have the right to dictate to this country what our views should be….I only hope Americans haven’t forgotten how to think for themselves…I can handle someone having an opinion that isn’t in line with mine as long as it is their opinion and they are passion about that…but this media influence is crazy!
And yes…I really like Sarah Palin…the media has been horrible to her…I admire the way she is handling all of this….I am more of a traditional Mom but I do think that she can handle just about anything they dish out….I think she is geniune and real! Her heart seems to be in the right place and although we are all human and make mistakes I think she enters into her decisions with the right intentions. I like McCain and her together…I was just WOWED with the decision but like it!
First off, learn grammar.
The word “thought” ends in a “T”, so nice try there big guy.
Also, close your Bible, read a real book for once (try The Communist Manifesto; I read your holy book before deciding to become an Atheist). That being said, my “godlessness” stems from religion playing a part in almost every single conflict for the past 1000 years in Western Civilization.
By the way, read the lyrics to “I-Feel-Like-I’m-Going-To-Die-Rag” by Country Joe. I think you’d agree with what he’s saying (…substitute Vietnam for Iraq/Iran in the song).
I was born during the death throws of the Soviet Union, so I didn’t grow up with this government-controlled media bias, so I formed my own ideas, unlike you all who had Nixon telling you that everybody further left than a Democrat was evil. [By the way, the USSR wasn't a real communist state: real communist states don't have a "nanny" quality as was stated above, nor do they have a power hungry leader].
Thanks.
Guevara,
When you communicate to people where there are many comments the rules of good English communication indicate that you should make it clear who you are addressing your comment to unless it was to the last speaker. There is also a difference between spelling and grammar.
I will assume you were talking to me. Why don’t you try writing thousands of posts and thousands of comments without making any spelling or grammar mistakes? From what I see you cannot even write one here that is totally error free, not that good grammar proves anyone can communicate. Obama proves that every time he opens his mouth.
Besides that, the rules of civility might indicate that you overlook trivial things like this but we all know liberals believe the end justifies your cheap shot means. If you really want to be a grammar cop why don’t you go down to the ghetto and correct their grammar. Its easy to throw stones at other people when you are hiding behind a firewall.
In any case, this post is not about grammar it is about the socialism that Obama will bring to this nation. If you do not stay on that topic I will be more than glad to remove your Atheist butt off this blog.
If you read my Holy Book before becoming an Atheist and rejected it then you only have yourself to blame for where you will be in eternity.
Again, if you actually read the comments in this post you would know that we are referring to the Communism that people called Communism in the history of our world and not how the Communist Manifesto reads as you interpret it. No place in the universe has ever had pure Communism as far as I know and none would want it except maybe the Planet of the Ants.
Also nobody is saying religion is good here. World religion is satanic. Christianity as I understand it, is not a religion, it is a spiritual rebirth and personal walk with the Creator.
If ‘G’ is for real and not a prankster…
World waring has been going on long past 1000 years. Since you read God’s Words, not mine or anyone else’s, you know ‘religious’ wars have been on going for a few thousand more. History and the Lord’s Words have been found to mesh, over and over again. As the prophecy has been told, we can apply it to today in many instances, from physical earth, to ‘as in the day of Noah’, countries forming for the final two battles, the greatest falling away from God, to Israel becoming a great nation again, forever. The list goes on and on.
I could take a tune today or God’s words, like so many have done, to fit my personal needs. I have no idea what the tune thing was about unless it had to do with war protesting. I see you may be upset because we took a butcher out of business. The boy was throwing humans, alive, in a plastic grinder. People were tossed in head first normally, unless the dictator had a grudge against you personally. Then they were thrown in feet first. I shed no tears of his hanging. Whether he would of accepted the Lord before his death or not, there is a penitence to pay.
I cannot understand the nanny thing.
The Soviets nor communists are power hungry? Maybe not at the bottom. Millions of Russians, Chinese, Cambodians, Vietnamese, Middle Easterners, Koreans, Europeans, ect ., were not murdered for the sake of power and control? OK….
Sounds as if you didn’t live during the cold war, nor Viet Nam. Sounds like you need to go back to the history books, not history propaganda. It’s like you may of had a good socialib professor. They’re everywhere. The neat thing, you’re getting a second chance at the cold war. As stated in God’s Words, Russia will come down on Israel someday. They’re gearing up. They don’t want power? Why has Putin kept control behind the scenes? Why have they moved into Georgia? Oil. Stalin knew oil was power of the future. This mindset is ever present today.
The Lord tells us we’ll each be judged by His Words. There will be no crowd to back you, no hung jury, no press, no smart lawyers present at the Great White Thrown Judgment. It will be a one on one with the Creator, the one who will remember all.
“The fool hath said in his heart, there is no God”. Again, His words, not mine.
I have my own song words by Barry McGuire for Guevara
You see these things, “but you tell me over and over and over again my friend, Ah, you don’t believe we’re on the eve of destruction”.
Don…if it makes you feel any better I didn’t spell “clothes” right either…lol! This will just destroy my evening!
I always had problems with clothes myself. You telling me the spell cop missed something? Darn, I was hoping he would spell check my thousands of posts for me so I can give him a DDD award for finding the whole million errors. I know I can’t spell a lic. Anyway, that should give him a literary purpose for the rest of his life.
Piss off the network media… vote republican!
Don-
Thanks for this blog. It’s the only thing I have read that actually makes any sense, and put this whole “Obama nation” in perspective. I think Ronald Reagon said it best:
“If we ever forget that we are one nation under god, then we will be a nation gone under.”
Hmm… This is one of the reasons they say not to do drugs. Remember… Crack Killz!
Actually, this is becoming an un-Godly nation. You are correct ‘G’. We butcher babies for fun and profit, homosexuality is now cool, party it up, drugs are everywhere, schools preach islam, atheism, social and communism, having any sex is fine, racism seems never to go away but increase at times, broken laws of the land go unpunished and there’s a huge push to bring on the NWO here in America. Oh yeah… PROFANITY! This is one of the tell tell signs of the decline of a nation.
If you keep going at the same pace ‘G’, you will get your chip and become part of the NWO. No need to get hostile and testy, help is on the way for you, probably sooner than you think.
(By the way, why do you want to have sex with all those people you mentioned? Just curious.)
Oops! Looks like potty mouth went to the way side. Darn!
Wow! Very angry and typically unintelligent.
Republican dream island sounds nice (except for the raping part of course). I liked it so much I chose it as a name. Very catchy. However, since you hate it soo much here, I don’t see why it wouldn’t be you going to the island instead.
I don’t think anyone here cares about your opinion because you are juvenile and full of hate, and thank you for proving to be a stellar example of exactly why we are concerned.
Have a nice day-
Yeah Mark and Rep…, G’s foul mouth got him banned from this blog. He was banned once before but he changed his IP address and his email. I changed things so comments with certain words will never be posted if the filter works correctly.
Certain people on the Internet need some serious help.
Disregard last comment- The message it was responding to was pulled. Too bad because aside from the curse words it was kind of funny.
I often wonder if the country would split in two. There seems to be a distinct difference in ideals. Yes, some folks rest in the middle but, for the most part, you are on one side or the other. If it went too far, I think some kind of civil war could be in the offing. You always see and hear the anger from the far left but, I believe there is an anger deep within the working man/woman’s soul with no outlet. I think we are getting tired of being forced to help those not willing to help themselves, and getting ridiculed for complaining about it. We cannot express our anger because we are being made to feel guilty for it. I feel as though my freedoms are being robbed a tiny bit each day. It is a gradual change so it goes largely unnoticed but, at what point is the “camel’s back broken”.
I want to stop this madness that is taking hold of our homeland but, I don’t know how to before it is too late.
There is a polarization between the majority Liberals on the coasts of America and the Bible believing conservatives living in the heartland. It could get bad enough that there will be a break up of the United States. I spoke about this on this blog. When you cannot quote the Bible anymore that day will have arrived.
Even though some in America are working at their best to kick the Lord out of our nation, there’s still too many believers around to cram on an island. It’d have to be good sized.
About quoting the Bible thing… It’s being pressed in Washington, as already done in Canada, that one cannot state what God has to say about homosexuality because it doesn’t support their cause. It appears Obama supports this. People like him are trying to link perversion with pigment of the skin. God made us with the tone of skin we each have. A habit, good or bad, is a different subject line. It’s like alcoholism and real illnesses, can one buy a can of mumps or bottle of aids? A most popular hamburger chain that begins with a ‘M’, is aggressively pressing this crime laws against the moral American. Incarcerations have already begun in Canada.
As far as ‘G’ goes, I guess one could say he got voted off the island.
Being the Creator of this Blog I condemned him to Cyberhell
Just like God can send to Hell those who foul up His creation.
Don, I agree with what “G” said (in essence) however, voting him “off the island” wouldn’t even make a difference in his mindset. Yes, we butcher babies, we smoke pot, have the crazy idea that killing people is bad, don’t go to church, and think that capitalism is the root of all evil….but that doesn’t mean we’re a bunch of hippie socialists
also, the rules set by early christians ARE indeed very good rules to live by (the ten commandments, not falling under the seven deadly sins, etc)
That was pretty funny.
Actually, I would not have minded keeping “G” on the island because his foul mouth obviously provoked some great responses but there are two things that will get one immediately banned on this Blog and those two things are: those using extremely foul language and the other is personal attacks meant to be personal attacks rather than addressing the issues of the posts. There are woman and children reading these Blogs and Christians would depart if I allowed these types of posts to remain.
Unfortunately when you do vote foul people off the Island the islanders may get a civil view of the world that actually does not exist.
With all puns aside, this election is actually to see if the USA will remain a free society or move on over towards socialism,. Then we may never have freedom of speech, worship or to defend ourselves again. Lost forever. It’s a long. long time. The ones who vote off shear hatred are really going to be torqued if they vote for socialism. They then best not voice their anger thereafter too loud or they’ll get super torqued when they’re incarcerated. I wonder what our forefathers would of thought or done if they could of seen this day’s society of America. Would they of camped out in the frozen winter, marched hundreds of miles in bare feet, went over the top, up the hill or hit the beach? So many great people gave us so much, and many aren’t the least bit thankful for it. I always tell people to be thankful for what you have today or you may not have it tomorrow. When I start to feel like I need to keep up with the Jones, I look at others who have less than I. I could be one of the Kenyan’s, where presently many are being persecuted and murdered by some of Obama’s next ‘o kin. I believe he stood by the side and backed of one of these trouble makers, who promised to bring Shea law to the hood. Life is cheap.
Well, Obama isn’t a socialist. he’s just very liberal. Hillary on the other hand….yeah she’s crazy [bad kind of] socialist. haha. okay, but the freedom of speech is one of the things that modern socialism is indeed for (modern socialism in countries such as Sweden). often times, the biggest advocates for free speech are the super-liberals. the republicans (like your very own Gov. Palin) are looking to ban books in PUBLIC libraries, and to take vulgarity off shelves in record stores. the differences between republicans, socialism and the USSR are enormous. and wasn’t it the republicans who implemented the patriot act? thats more of a big brother move then anything a democrat would have done, but the USSR did indeed do that. and its not voting for socialism unless you vote for Brian Moore for president (socialist party USA’s candidate). my final remark is to this whole God issue. Look, i am an atheist, but i (along with many other liberals) don’t have a problem with other people’s religion. It is my personal philosophy that people should be able to do whatever the hell they want as long as it doesn’t infringe on the rights of other citizens, or put them in harm. that being said, i think religion is a waste of MY time, not yours. so do what you’d like, i could care less if it has no impact on my life. you going to church wont make me get lung cancer, ya know what i’m saying? our forefathers fought for our freedom, and our freedom is the ability to choose what we want to do in life. it is MY choice to not believe in god, to believe in uniting as a nation, to be joined under a standardized set of rules and laws and it is conversely not my right to tell you what to think.
Actually Obama is a socialist by any playbook and not the new kind like in Sweden. He is from the old school, read about who his mentors were, his voting record and the programs he wants to bring in. Just his plan of a civil force with more power that the military and his proposal for government control of all children from birth should make your hair stand on end (If you have any hair I can’t really see any from your on-line picture)
I think that is an old wives liberal tail about Gov. Palin looking to ban books in public libraries at least that is what she claimed on ABC. However, if we have truly obscene books and music this should not be allowed in any civilized society. That is why we have local laws and local courts to deal with these types of issues. A mostly Christian community might want different obscenity laws then say San Francisco. People do have the freedom to move and I encourage them to do so if the heathen have taken over their village.
What is your suggestion to deal with the terrorist threat? Just do nothing? The Patriot act deals with the threat and the Patriot Act was passed by a Democratic controlled House and Senate. Bush does not make law. If the democratically controlled congress passed a law that is unconstitutional and Bush signed it the Supreme Court’s job is to rule the law unconstitutional. That does not mean we should not be vigilant about our freedoms but blaming Bush for some loss of freedoms for mostly criminals is an argument from the Far Left conspiracy fringe and it ignores how our government really runs. The President does not have all that much power at all in the long term. You cannot have expensive executive branch programs without funding from congress. Having said that, have a WMD terrorist attack or two and you will see martial law and the suspension of your freedoms no matter who is President. It is better to stop them before that happens if we can, don’t you think?
You are allowed free thought in America at least until the Left passes its hate speech bill. Freedom for Life, Liberty and happiness is our constitutional right as long as it is not impacting on the freedoms of someone else. That is the way our system of government was designed. However, there are still consequences to choices you make in life even in a free society.
I do have hair, in fact, it is quite long. I think that we as Americans have the right to chose what we can read. we have the right to smoke cigarettes, intoxicate ourselves, but you propose that we can’t read books that are allegedly dangerous? The way to deal with terrorists, is to prevent them from even existing. I believe that Arabic terrorists wouldn’t even exist if Russia didn’t get involved with Afghanistan. If there is a WMD attack (who has these, Iraq? nope. Iran? they’re scared shitless to even consider using them against us. North Korea? the only country crazy enough to use them if they actually have an arsenal). That being said, we would react so quickly that they wouldn’t even know what hit them, sending our world into a nuclear holocaust. Russia would take it upon themselves to use one against us when we’re weak, and India would just shit itself and bomb everywhere that threatens her.
Back to Obama - I’ve read everything by him (audacity of hope/the one about his father/etc.) and he isn’t an “old school” socialist. Those don’t even exist anymore. Are you suggesting that Ted Kennedy is one? How about Lincoln? They are some of Obama’s biggest heroes.
Your reading things in to what I said. I said the local community should decide what books they consider obscene in their libraries. If you were in a third world village who do you think would set the village standards? The elders of the village. In our nation we elect people for that purpose. In my taxpayer paid public libraries I do not want books on how to make atomic bombs available. If you disagree the community will vote in the representative that represents their values. If you do not like the community standards you can move. You have a right to read what you want if you pay the bill and do not expose people in my community to what we consider obscene.
Your wrong and very naive about Islamic terrorists they exist because it is part of the teaching of Islam. You are just talking about latest trigger points but the root of the Jihad is the teachings of Islam and it has been going on for 1500 years. Iraq would have WMD by now if we did not go in and take out Saddam. Do you really think that Saddam would let Iran get nukes without becoming nuclear himself? He had the yellow cake and the know how. Iraq was only about one month from a bomb on the first invasion and bombing of Iraq.
There is plenty of danger to us if Iran gets a nuke. Ever hear of an EMP attack? A single nuke could send the U.S. back to the 18th century for years. Besides, Israel is at grave risk. You say Iran is scared but your wrong about that. Have you never read what the Iranian leaders are saying? You can find those article on this Blog. The leadership thinks it will bring their Savior. They actually hope for a war and expect a war and that is why they are developing nukes.
Once the first nukes go off the whole world goes nuts as you yourself just said.
Ted Kennedy is an old school socialist of course. He would make a great communist. Most blacks consider Lincoln to be their liberator so what does that have to do with the price of tea in china? I was talking about Obama’s mentor as a kid Saul Alinsky. Even today I read an article by Saul’s son that said that Obama is following his Father’s radical teachings to a T.
So then i suppose you believe he was a member of the Weather Underground too?..since he’s such a rebel
First of all, thanks Karlos for being decent about the Lord’s people. Most who don’t wish to believe or accept God as He is, would start throwing rocks first.
I’m sure you’ve heard of the Christ and know of what it takes to receive eternal life so I’ll attempt to show a couple things to reason with the existence of God. I was once a heavy drinker. I couldn’t get off the beer to save me. On July 26th, 9 pm Mountain Time, 1988, with a half can of beer in my hand, I accepted the Christ. If the Lord wants you, he’ll throw hints at ya. I kind of ran from him for years. That night, I wasn’t an alcoholic anymore. I knew I didn’t have to accept Him, but I knew I needed His help to get me out of the pit. It was my faith that got me eternal life. There was nothing scientific about it. I humbly and meaningfully asked forgiveness and I got it. Getting off the booze was one of many great things he did for me, and I’m not in heaven yet.
If one has a problem with God’s existence, why is there only one planet that can sustain human life? Many scientists now agree that there’s nothing out there that compares to earth. Also, where is those green men from Mars that’s so often talked about? When the Christ came and especially died, why did this event change the way history dates were recorded? BC/AD. He was just one small individual, as far as most are concerned. God’s Word tells us He flooded the earth. Man will say we had a huge ice age. Why is there fossils of sea life in the higher elevations? Man says we have walked this planet for who knows how many years, first coming from a fish now, let alone a monkey. God says He created us about 6000 years ago. How come man’s true history cannot go back past a handful of thousands of years? Darwin, who had no proof of his 10 steps from monkey to the man but an ape, a pigs jaws, an elderly man with severe arthritis and a standard man, stated at the end of his life that he was full of smoke. Some scientists have stated that this planet has been here for zillions of years but some are giving earth’s existence about 10k years now. Schools teach that oil is fossil fuel and came from fermented dinosaurs, yet the Soviets have known for years that oil comes from two elements deep in the ground, compressed to over 1500 psi and heated. Oil is then slung towards towards the surface by the rotation of the earth. The Russians have drilled miles and miles down and have found oil. Oil is a great interest to the old Soviets, which carries on today from Stalin’s era. Think of all the dino’s that had to of kicked the bucket to make so much oil. I once worked in the oilfield. I grew up in it. Oil is found at shallow depths to well over 10 miles down. God’s Word tells me that before He returns, the popularity of boys liking boys will increase, earthquakes will increase like a woman giving birth, as from the 70’s until today. Volcanoes will increase. There will be an increase of wars and rumors of wars. We do not hear of many of them today that are going on. Technology will increase dramatically. Partying will increase. There will be a turning away from God and His ways. The nations that will group together for the two final battles are already grouped together. The four are the EU, US, Britain and Israel, China and it’s fellow countries and Russia with 6 each Arabic states. If they’re not completely together yet, they’re working on it. Russia will come down upon Israel. It is specifically written that 5/6th of the Soviet Union will be destroyed. And why does the world in very most part, hate Israel and the Jews? They’re the Lord’s original chosen people. Evil man will attempt to destroy this country. It is also written that Israel would come back together and it would become great, 1947-today. (The dead sea is worth over 2 trillion in minerals and they now have oil that is said to easily compete with what Saudi had at the beginning.) When this happens, the Lord says to start looking for His return, that it’s ‘even at the doors’. If there is no God, what keeps us together. If I knew I didn’t have to face the one who has eyes of fire and snow white hair today, I’d be rich today. I’d probably be rude, a common thief, a boozer, drug seller, maybe a murderer or rapist, who knows. If ther ewas no eternal life or death, I would live for today only and mostly just for myself. We have cut our original nation’s laws from God’s Words. Thou shalt not murder, steal, ect. I could go on with this but there’s enough to ponder on.
Today in America, we have more crime than ever before. We have all type of aliens and enemies in the country. Obama wants to disarm us all. He has proven that gun laws to prevent one from defending oneself is more important than the one trespassing to do harm to a citizen in their home.
Liberalism, socialism and communism have control and redistribution in common. They also bring on negatives towards God and any believers. Why go to it voluntarily? It will bring on bloodshed. Just how much?
Europe went to a type of socialist community. Now they’re getting over run by Islam. Seems like some areas were torched in recent times. Jews are being punished there. The race war has started again. Many fear, if time goes on, within the next 20 years, if America would stay as present, we’d have to find new allies. Europe will be Islamic by then. Do we want to motto after Europe? As long as we just attack certain people in our country?
Obama is not pro Islamic? Why the trip to Africa to back the uncle who wants to bring Shea law to Kenya? Why does Syria, a terrorist supporting state, want him in? Why does the Russians want him in? If I were an old enemy of America, I’d want this guy in. He’ll never use nuclear weapons, period. With Russia’s and China’s military might, they’ll do as they please. There will be no deterrent.
Hope this helps somewhat.

Hi Don. I was reading about a man, Alexander Tyler, a Sottish man who lived in the late 1700’s , and here is what he said about democracy….
’A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government.’
’A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury.’
’From that moment on, the majority always vote for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship.’
’The average age of the world’s greatest civi lizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years’
’During those 200 years, those nations always progressed through the following sequence:
1. From bondage to spiritual faith;
2. From spiritual faith to great courage;
3. From courage to liberty;
4. From liberty to abundance;
5. From abundance to complacency;
6. From complacency to apathy;
7. From apathy to dependence;
8. From dependence back into bondage’
Professor Joseph Olson of Hemline University School of Law, St. Paul , Minnesota, believes the United States is now somewhere between the ’complacency and apathy’ phase of definition of democracy, with some forty percent of the nation’s population already having reached the ’governmental dependency’ phase.
There you have it. It’s unfortunate, but it’s inevitable. I’m 25, and at some point in my lifetime I will see this country being run by a dictator. I agree with you whole-heartedly about Obama, but, the sad truth is that he has the majority of the voting block. I know in my heart that there will be a democrat in office this year, and this country is going to be destroyed. It’s really unfortunate that today’s generation and my generation are being taught by a bunch of left wingers with no appriciation for the truth. Teachers are not allowed to teach. They are told what to tell the students. And EVERYONE just accepts what they are being told. In many ways we are already brain washed. All you have to do is read back through some of the responses people left to see that!
I forgot to mention in my last, which was well too long, that the Bible says the Arabs and Israelis will be at odds till the last day. Abraham’s offspring. No true peace will come between them, as proved today.
Also, Biden has recently told Israel that they best get used to the fact that Iran will have nukes. Israeli officials are now pumped about that statement.
To answer Karlos question. No I do not think Obama was part of the Weather Underground although he had connections with a leader of it. When I was talking about him being a radical I was talking his connections with the Left wing Chicago machine and his connections with those in Black Liberation Theology. I guess a lot of that goes with the flow if you want political support from a good part of the black community but it does not make him anyone that I would want to become president of this nation.
Okay, lets agree on one thing. we’re screwed no matter who is president.
and where does it say that in the bible? the bible was written years and years before the muslim faith was even conceived
Hi Valerie,
Thanks for posting that info I was aware of it but perhaps many are not. That is one of the reasons our forefathers did not make the U.S. a pure Democracy we were created to be a Democratic Republic but more and more we are acting like a Democracy.
I would say we are will be in stage 7 if we vote in a totally liberal government. A week ago it sure looked like we would do that but right now I think it is 50/50. Nevertheless, no one is going to fix the problems we will have in the next four years and whoever gets elected is likely to be a one term president or a major war president and if that happens we could go into stage 8. Don’t give up all hope yet though, much of the Heartland is not drinking the Obama Kool-Aid. I admit that the liberals now seem to be the majority in this country but they cannot get along with each other for long and they end up eating their young.
Karlos, About three thousand years ago God made promises to Abraham and said that his wife Sarah that was way past child bearing age would give birth to a child who would inherent the land that includes much of the Middle-East today. The whole story can be found in the first book of the Bible called Genesis.
In short Abraham and Sarah tried to help God out in the flesh by Abraham having sex with a slave girl of Sarah. The child born was named Ishmael but the son of the slave girl (Ishmael) was cast out by Abraham’s wife Sarah after she had the real son of the promise from God (Isaac).
From Isaac came Jacob who was renamed Israel and from Ishmael came most of the nations around the Middle East today who were first pagans and then were converted to Islam. The son of the promise and the son of the slave girl both claim the promises given to Abraham. This family feud is being played out since that time. If you study Islam you will see that they claim to be the rightful heirs of the promises to Abraham but of course the Bible says that the promise comes through Issac and Israel. That is why there really is no solution to the Middle East conflict before the second coming of Jesus Christ. It is a blood feud between two half brothers who both claim the inheritance of the land.
Don…do you think Obama is going to win this race…I have faith in the more mature, rational, moral sector of society…but some of these “kids” are “out-there”…Who do they think is going to pay their bills when he starts playing “Robin Hood”? I mean it’s going to be hard to go back and live with dear ole Mom and Dad when they have lost everything they have worked hard for…there goes the will!
There’s a great deal of people around here that need a wake-up call?
I really do not know who is going to win this race. Right now McCain has the edge but one major mistake and it will go to Obama. Fortunately a lot of those kids never show up to vote. Many grown children are already gong back to live with dear ole Mom and Dam. I know parents who want to move out to get away from their kids that have moved back home because they cannot make it on their own. Obama economics will make things worse but I am not sure there is any solution anymore. We have way too much debt and have made way too many mistakes. If the government keeps bailing out corporations nobody is going to finnance our increasing debt and then inflation will become major and if it does not bail out these failing companys we will be in a major depression. We probably will get both it is called stagflation.
Not all Liberals and Socialists are Godless, and trust me many so called people of God that are Conservative are far from Godly…
I live in Arizona and McCain has been my Senator, he is a hero in many ways but is not right as the leader of our country in this day and age. I am a registered Republican and I belive in Creationism but I have declared myself an Independent and feel that we need something completly different, I voted for Bush, fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me, no way I would vote for the lying Rupublican ticket. Don’t let the conservative party scare you anymore. Both parties are a mess but Obama offers a=something different and if you are afraid of things becoming too leftist, the beauty of this country is we can replace him in 4 or 8 years. Someone above made a statement about Homosexuality being cool and other things and even though I don’t agree with beating people up who are different than you, relaize that all the things that person posted have really come to light during the Bush years.
You mentioned debt, this debt was created by the Conservative administration, c’mon, get real. The biggest debt in our countries history under the Bush admin. W e are in two wars and trying to pick a third, our economy is collapsing, the housing market is done, people abroad hate us, I can’t believe that all this happened in just 8 years under an ignorant administraion. McCain would be better than Bush but Bush screwed things up so bad we’d be foold to put McCain/Pailin in office. The Conservatives did this, blame ur party and its agenda and affiliations… The problem with the rich running this country is that in order to get ahead you must exploit people and environment and that what this administration has done. Get em’ out, kepe em’ out…
Again, I was reading more of above comments and I can’t believe you have the balls to call others Godless because they think different than you, you and your type are why things are the way they are in this country. And, why do you have to point out the color of Obamas skin? I guess that tells us really what your feelings are… Ones skin color has nothing to do with anything, this is the year 2008, its not the 40’s and 50’s anymore. Again, you most likley are a backward thinking racist who is calling yourself a man of God, trust me, God is not on your side with comments like that, you better grab your Bible and re read and re adjust your midset…. Obama is going to eat up McCain the debates, McCain/Palin have nothing to offer but more of the same and I think you will agree more of gthe same is not good.
That is correct Scot, pigment of the skin is what we were given. I’m a heinz 57 myself. I have three European and two Indian bloods in me including the low thought of Irish of the old days. I work with all different people from over the world with different pigments of the skin, daily. They know I look what’s inside of people.
The news media is bias for the most part, mostly for the socialib scene. It is a shame that I have to go out and search for the facts. I have had to sign up to multiple news sites to retrieve fact from fiction. This shouldn’t have to be. The honest facts should be presented to me when I turn on the tube to a news station. I have found off television news, twisted truths, outright lies and unfair coverage. The communists and dictators do this. This is a subliminal hint in itself.
With the above in mind, with a socialib Congress, Senate and President, I see more of this coming. We may not have another real election. With foreigners voting, electronic voting machine ‘glitches’ and post punched cards mostly in the lib’s favor, it may not matter what many Americans feel today.
As far as debates go I’m not into who’s a better salesman. I want to know who has the real and better experience, morals, common sense and been in the light long enough to really know what he’s up to.
One running for prez has a long history to like or dislike. The other has very little. With what little that is out for the public to see, the negatives have sure outweigh positives on him. All he has is his hopeful words for the most part.
Scot,
I am not a McCain fan either and its true that not all socialists are godless and that many conservatives are far from Godly. However changing to a government where all branches are controlled by the Far Left is not wise. In fact, you may not be able to replace anyone in government in 4 or 8 years if that happens. The Democrats will have changed laws and stacked the federal courts with like minded people. It will be the end of America as we know it. Many nations have taken the socialist path that Obama is set to put this nation on and the people of those nations lost control over their government If you want to risk becoming Cuba go ahead and vote for Obama.
Debt was not created by some Conservative administration. It was created by all administrations for the last one hundred years that spent more than it took in. Congress has been controlled by liberals and progressives for quite some time and they pass the spending laws. Even Republicans like the Bush’s are not true conservatives. The conservatives do not control the Republican party. Bush is really a moderate as was his father before him. We have not had a true conservative president for quite some time and McCain is not a conservative by any stretch of the imagination. Nevertheless, as I said, the real danger is letting the Far Left which hijacked the Democratic Party get control of all federal government. You might as well move to Cuba because that will be our future.
The reason the U.S. is falling apart is because of the big government socialism already in place that has bankrupted this nation. It is because of the socialist globalization that sent our jobs overseas. It is also because of the moral decline and the division that causes in our nation.
The wars we are in are due to a world that has had its head in the sand about the evils of Islam and the world tyrants that it faces. So America stands pretty much alone putting fingers in the dike until the next world war. Try to even imagine a world that did not have America standing in the gap against evil tyrants for the last century.
Bush can do nothing without appeasing Congress and as I said, congress is controlled by the Far Left. So don’t think everything is going to come up roses when you put someone in the presidency who will just rubber stamp all the Far Left legislation’s and appoint federal judges that will subvert our Constitution by legislating from the bench and appoint a Supreme Court that will redefine the Constitution and Bill of Rights. We are only one judge away from that happening right now. Under Obama the change is certain, under McCain it is at least questionable.
Your last post is not worth commenting on. It is typical liberal name calling and unfounded attacks claiming racism. Get real!.
I will let the last post go but you were the one who said something to the extent of black savior or something like that??? I do not have time right now to go back through and find it, but anyway; appreciate the discussion even though but this administration inhereted a surplus and now we are close to a depression, the President has a tough job whoever it is, at least his last name won’t be Bush but as Americans we have to work together, we need a balance and right now our greedy money hungry capitalistic society has hurt our society, its sad that we need Federal intervention, lets just hope we can get some honest people into offices who really have America’s best interst in mind. All we can go off is words, its scarey but I look into McCains eyes and do not see confidence and I listen and do not hear a plan. Obama, if elected will have to live up to his words but he can’t do it without all of our help. God is in control of all things and has given us all the ability to accomplish anything. Muslims, Christians and Jews all believe in the same God, the God of Abraham and Moses, we all share the same history. Religion is what is corrupt not spirituality. But there is a place for non believers as well and as believers we must love them too and all work together to make the world a tolerant place. I think God is leaving it up to us. No President can fix things but this administration has done a terrible job…
The evils of Islam are due to the US and Israel’s treatment of the Palastinians, funny how we cannot condemn an entire people becaus eof some radicals. Understand that these radicals came about because of the imperialistic approach and selfishness of our greedy culture. America is great, don’t get me wrong but lets face the fact that if you oppress people for long enough they will be forced to react in extreme measures. The middle east is very tricky but it is the Holy land and people of all the Major faiths are brothers and sisters in Gods eyes, I beleive. Don’t be naive to think that throughout history Christians have not did their part as far as terrorism. The whole reason we are allies with Israel is due to power and control. All this is important but the conservative approach is to start wars over lies and fabrications of the truth. We should of captured Osama Bin Laden by now and the Taliban should be completely defeated but we took our eye off the enemy and went into Iraq and now we are losing young American lives and our country is in debt. Sadam was a bad man but we also have a bad man or men and women as heads of our Government too. There are just as many bad dictators in Africa as well, oppressing people and killing innocent people. But at least when Bush is out of office his interests will be satisfied, high oil prices and tons of his buddies companies as the main contractors in Iraq. Obama was the only one opposed to this war so his judgement on that was better than Bushs, Hillarys and McCains. In nay case, times are going to be tough for us all, if we are believers we need to pray and take action, for those who are not believers, we still need their involvement as right must prevail over wrong and good over evil and I think this adminstration is evil and McCain has sided with this Admin close to 100% of the time. The only one with any sense got out before the u know what hit the fan, Colin Powell.
I am sorry I meant funny how we CAN condemn and entire people.
And as far as Cuba, here is something interesting: While it would be wrong to make light of the poverty that afflicts Cuba, the people do seem content – more so than your average Westerner. The complete absence of capitalism means Cubans are not obsessed with getting the latest plasma TV, the biggest house or reading the latest celebrity gossip magazine.
“Instead, people get together to talk, socialise and spend time with their families and friends.”
See? You don’t need capitalist luxuries like a plasma TV or a big house of even a magazine to be happy in revolutionary Cuba.
Oh, yes, and your own private doctor, available around the clock.
More on Cuba: this was taken from an article written by a British teacher who took 0ver 20 students to visit Cuba.
In Communist Cuba, we witnessed a regimented school system where 99% of the country is literate. We observed an organized, productive, and inclusive way of working. In Cuba, everyone has a job; not one person is without work. Women retire at 55 if they wish, and men retire at 60. As we became familiar with the Cuban work ethic and value of life and work, we also began to feel a shift in the values we brought to Cuba.
Cubans are happy and generous people. We all returned home with a richer spirit, warmed by the love of the students and teachers we met at Frederico Engels Polytechnical School, located in Pinar del Rio, in the west of Cuba. For one week, we lived in the school dorms, worked in the fields with the students, discussed globalization and national heroes, and endured rice, beans, oranges, and cake at every meal! We were surprised at how happy the students were, even though they live without the material possessions we have (the students play soccer with a torn soccer ball and use just about anything as equipment for playing other games). The students who became our friends taught us life can be enjoyed in spite of material limitations. We witnessed integrity in the teachers and workers we met at the school and at the local tobacco plantation. They reminded us daily of the sense of community and connection all Cubans feel for one another. Dignity and a wonderful sense of humour shone from the Cuban people in
