STUPIDISM

 

The category for selected Isms such as Communism, Fascism, and Socialism has increased with the addition of Stupidism. Each of those mentioned are intellectually corrupt when compared to the freedom and liberty of a republic such as the United States and its system of government. Add the Democrat Party to the intellectual corruption and Stupidism has a worthy new member. When the truth is analyzed, there isn’t much difference between the foregoing Isms and the Democrats. The commonality is control of everything that crosses their Ism oriented minds.

One area that has nothing to do with governance as provided by the Constitution was the attempt a few years ago to tell Wal Mart how to run its business. No matter what you think of Wal Mart, it isn’t the place of a politician to tell any business how to operate, much less make them a campaign issue as did Democrat Senator Joe Biden (Maryland) in Iowa while entertaining his fantasy about being president. The Wal Mart haters don’t like their benefits and wages and Biden was trying to use that to his advantage.

Biden is a light weight who knows as much about being President as he does about being a Senator and truthfully, his knowledge isn’t very great and his diatribe against Wal Mart is proof of his lack of understanding about his role of government. The man took an oath to follow the Constitution and there isn’t anything in it that told him to bad mouth a legitimate business operating legally within the law.

Of course, it isn’t politically expedient to stay within constitutional parameters. Following the Constitution doesn’t bring votes so Biden, like so many others, say those things that appeal to those who have no more knowledge of the Constitution than he does. Biden and his ilk speak of divisiveness and claim that those who they oppose are creating divisiveness. How can they say that with a straight face when they constantly create turmoil by attacking businesses which only whips the frenzy of those who like the divisiveness caused by not following the Constitution?

Union activity drives nearly all the diatribes against Wal Mart and other companies. Biden and the other Democrats use the demagoguery against that company to keep the Democrat union faithful in line. Not to use such tactics is to lose the support of those who constantly want the government to make life better for them. They wail for a higher minimum wage. They wail for more health benefits and perks. But you never hear them ask what they can do to make the company they work for a better place.

When this nation was formed, the founders made no provisions for the government to dabble in any business; much less use a business in a campaign to increase government involvement in the running of a business. It isn’t a politician’s place to demand that any business treat their workers in certain ways or provide certain benefits. Whether they like it or not, competition, economic laws, and sound business practices dictate the way a business is operated. Irrespective of economic facts, the Democrats and their useful idiots continue to act as if they know all about business. Well they do know about business. It is the art of sticking their collective noses into places that are none of their business.

All the various government type Isms have ruined more than one country and its economy through the years. Communism destroyed Russia and is destroying other nations as this is written. Fascism destroyed Italy and is creating havoc in the present day. Socialism has stagnated Europe and it nearly wrecked England. Now, old ideas with a new name called Stupidism have reared their ugly heads in this nation. In Sorting It Out, Joe Biden’s Stupidism is nothing more than the other three spelled with different letters and it will lead to the same end, this nation’s ruin.

But over the years, the nation’s belief in God has changed. Beginning in 1932 with the election of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, a new line of thought concerning the ideas for government marched out of FDR’s mind. Slowly it took hold in the thinking of the people nationwide. Those who knew better resisted, but soon they were overcome by the New Deal sweeping across the land. Over the years, the New Deal slowly installed itself as the new god of the nation, and has continued in various forms into the year 2008. The government, better known as the state, has become the god which now bestows blessings on the people; of course, at the expense of other people (the rich) who are the despised ones targeted by the all knowing politicians.

A shift from freedom from government and true liberty has taken place.  Government intrudes into nearly every aspect of life and limits liberty to live as a free people. Congress has passed laws that control everything from land use to the type of light bulbs that are permissible. There are very few items in life that government hasn’t touched, and if a citizen fails to observe one the laws, depending on the violation, arrest, fines and jail are the standard remedies.

The new god, government, must be appeased at all cost, no matter what, since it is for the good of society.  Earn more than the god believes to be necessary and it will take, with force if necessary, the excess that is deemed to be wrong. Disturb one of the icons of the new god, wet lands for example, and incur the wrath of the EPA guardians of the environment. Accidentally or other wise harm a lesser animal, loss of land, huge fines and possible jail time can result. Sometimes it is all three. The new mantra of animal rights now supplants the rights for people listed in the Constitution. Remember, it says that those things not listed are the rights of the people also.

More and more people are looking to government to solve their personal problems. The problem with that approach to life is that when some problems are solved, it is always at the expense of those who don’t have those problems. But, in the world of the government’s mandated religion, the god of state control, the fact that the laws mistreat some is of no consequence. 

As a result of all the government help, a nation of independent people who looked to God for daily help, are becoming slaves to the new god of government headed by the new leader of the movement, the nut job (a.k.a. Barack Hussein Obama). It is a tyrannical god that metes out punishment for not recognizing its (or his) omnipotent power. In Sorting It Out, there is hope. The true God of the universe will one day heap vengeance upon those who think they are God.  Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. (Romans 12:19)
