NO SPEED LIMIT ON THE ROAD TO SOCIALISM, RIGHT BARACK?

by Niel Young

Advocates Columnist

In 2006 the American vot-

ers (with some help from illegal immigrants) chose to replace many Republicans in Congress and the Sen- ate. Simply put, they could not vote against George W. Bush because he was not on the ballot so they turned on Republican candidates at ev- ery level. In 2008, still angry at Bush and Republicans in general, the voters complet- ed their mission; they threw even more amoeba Republi- cans out of office. They were angry! I understand - some of us could see it coming for four years. The GOP came up with a candidate for President that conservatives like me neither liked nor trusted. Some of us still voted for Sarah Palin and “what’s his name.” I am

hoping that J.D. Hayworth

wins the Republican Primary for U.S. Senator in Arizona.

Those of us who were angry too, were still paying atten- tion, knowing that Barack Obama was definitely not the answer. And today many of you who made the mis- take of giving him your vote are sorry. Too late - but you can do something about that now. Begin with seeking out that candidate (or be one) who is running as a Repub- lican and can be trusted; one who has principles and can stand on his/her own two feet without taking march- ing orders from “GOP Lead- ership” - whereas, a lack of leadership in Concord and Washington played a major role in where we are today: IN THE MINORITY! Obama and the Democrats are moving forward rapidly in “changing America” to a third world country under socialism. Government con- trol of the banks - industry - health care - wages - edu- cation - abortion on demand (many using our money) - re- warding those who are in our country illegally by making them LEGAL - taking jobs Americans WOULD do for a reasonable wage. Many of us have felt for

a long time that one day a group within the United States would complete their mission to change this coun- try that stands above all oth- ers in freedoms, the right to fail or succeed, the right to speak against our govern- ment without fear of reprisal or punishment - THAT DAY HAS ARRIVED.

I do not believe that I have

the right to the rewards of another’s labor, unless they voluntarily offer it to me. As you know, author/capital- ist Ayn Rand is a favorite around here at The Weirs Times as she is with my adult children and most of the panelists who visit my radio program. I am also a

fan of George Orwell.

Mrs. Belser, my teacher

(5th grade at Batchelder St school 1955/56), read to us

Animal Farm with ongoing

discussion. I must have been political even back then! Enotes.com/authors: “When it was published in 1945, its British author George Or- well (a pseudonym for Eric Arthur Blair) had already waited a year-and-a-half to see his manuscript in print. Because the book criticized

the Soviet Union, one of Eng- land’s allies in World War II, publication was delayed until the war ended. It was an immediate success as the first edition sold out in a month, nine foreign edi- tions had appeared by the next year, and the American Book-of-the-Month Club edition sold more than a half-million copies. Although Orwell was an experienced columnist and essayist as well as the author of nine published books, nothing could have prepared him for the success of this short novel, so brief he had consid- ered self-publishing it as a pamphlet. The novel brought together important themes— politics, truth, and class conflict—that had concerned Orwell for much of his life. Using allegory—the weapon used by political satirists of the past, including Voltaire and Swift - Orwell made his political statement in a twentieth-century fable that could be read as an enter- taining story about animals or, on a deeper level, a sav- age attack on the misuse of political power. While Orwell

wrote as a pointed criticism of

Stalinist Russia, reviews of the book on the fiftieth- anniversary of its publica- tion declared its message to be still relevant. In a play on the famous line from the book, ‘Some animals are more equal than others’ an Economist reviewer wrote, ‘Some classics are more equal than others,’ and as proof he noted that Animal Farm has never been out of print since it was first pub- lished and continues to sell well year after year.” ********

So, are we prepared to

gather around the barnyard, or park, or another meeting place, to ready ourselves to make the right choices in the upcoming state prima- ries, to choose the perfect candidates, those who will listen to us and not Barack Obama - and in November, complete the mission by defeating every Democrat for ANY OFFICE just as the voters did when they turned against the Republicans in the last two elections?
