American Capitalism

Well it has been said over and over. I personally tell people as often as i can that the sprint to the left since the election of Obama has been impressive. The bail outs, the firing of auto executives by the elected leader of the free world. Now Congress thinks they have the right to tell companies what they can pay their employees. We as Americans should be ashamed that we have allowed this to happen. The left has stolen elections (Ala ACORN) intimidated voters (Ala The new Black Panthers) and our own justice system is unable to take corrective actions beyond telling one of those 'panthers' he cannot display a weapon within 100' of a polling place. Seriously! Is there any doubt about where we are heading? The Department of homeland security has put out document that tell law enforcement that if you are 'pro life, pro gun, religious and ex-military' you are more than likely an extremist and need to be watched.

The kicker is this article in Pravda American capitalism gone with a whimper. Pravda is a Russian News paper. you remember them right? Russia? the folks that brought us the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics for 40 years or so after the second world war? Yeah the Communist countries that have been trying out free markets and Capitalism for the last few years. you would think they know socialism when they see it. and let me tell you, they see it. Here is an excerpt:
The final collapse has come with the election of Barack Obama. His speed in the past three months has been truly impressive. His spending and money printing has been a record setting, not just in America's short history but in the world. If this keeps up for more then another year, and there is no sign that it will not, America at best will resemble the Wiemar Republic and at worst Zimbabwe.
The world sees us shouting that we are the last bastion of free market capitalism. They see us and snicker because they can see the road ahead.
