Thankful for Immigrants

Almost 20 years ago, I met a man at a Young Republican club meeting. He was there alone and no one was talking to him. I introduced myself and we became great friends occasionally dining at his home or ours including multiple Thanksgiving and other holiday meals. What he taught me was one of the most powerful lessons I have ever learned.

Vadim is from Russia. He had escaped with his mother and uncle. The hatred they hold for the communists who stole his birthright, ruined his country, and murdered millions was perhaps 50% as hot as their hatred for communists in this country. After all, the communists who ruined his country had taken over the Democrat Party and were lying about who they really are.

Vadim and his family began seeking citizenship in the grreatest country on earth from the day they landed here with the shirts on their backs and little else. The letters his uncle would write to President Bill Clinton, demanding his resignation would make a sailor blush.

I came across the website, Transylvania Phoenix by another immigrant patriot who wrote a very powerful post the day after the communists won a second, unthinkable Presidential electoral victory in the US. He descibes the life he experienced in communist Romania and warns America with great clarity about how the play book works.

He offers this gem to a commenter on the post:

San Francisco liberals will be the first victims of a communist takeover. I know it because it happened before in my native Romania where the first people who were sent to extermination prisons were the Socialists. The Socialists (named liberals these days) who helped the Communists come to power were practically exterminated and their leader Constantin Titel-Petrescu put to death after a mock trial. This was after their former coalition allies (the communists) achieved all the key positions in the government.

If there is any bright side to this, it is knowing that the bad guys will be slaughtered by the worse guys, that brutal mass internment, torture and execution will be the fault of the silly lefties who are most to blame. That is however, sad consolation for the rest of us who will be next in line when the commie start the purges that are central to their demonic playbook.

What is pathetic is that the communist purges are less than 100 years old. Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot and Kim Jung-Il murdered millions in the name of their ideology yet to 90% of Americans, any talk of that happening in a western country, let alone these United States is the bizarre fanaticism of a kook. It simply can't happen here. Or can it.

Exit polls tell us that Obama again, enjoyed a wide youth gap, again. The main reason was not anything he had done, but what he continues to promise namely, a socialist state. We know that our youth increasingly support socialism over capitalism, the question becomes what we should do about it. The answer may just lie in inviting more immigrants like Vadim and this guy.

These immigrants, who have seen first hand, the evils of socialism gone bad, are more passionate about fighting it than most of us, especially the silly youth who are being turned into socialists by the public education system exactly as planned by the 10th plank of the communist manifesto. That is why we need more former communists to balance the new-born, home-grown would-be communists in the hopes that we can turn them back to the truth that communism kills.

Where I can certainly understand the evils of socialism, you should also speak of the evils of unregulated capitalism, some of which we have recently witnessed first hand, and are still suffering under. I certainly hope all out socialism(which is different than communism) doesn't take hold in these states, also I would imagine that before any such death camps be implimented they would certainly want to take our guns away. An armed populous is one of the things they would be extremely wary of.

First, "unregulated capitalism" does not exist because the markets regulate capitalism. You either have market regulation or government regulation. Socialism holds the view that government can regulate the markets just enough and not amass so much power they become Communist. Starting with socialism is part of the communist playbook. That is why true patriots fight creeping socialism and giving government more power.

Yet here we are...whether the regulations are simply not enforced or lacking, we have had and continue to have unethical and illegal activity in our markets. The very politicians we elect have engaged in insider trading, unscrupulous traders are counterfeiting stocks, and corps are manipulating books and trashing companies at investors expense. I wish unregulated markets would work, but I fail to see how when politicians will bail out those considered too big to fail. The idea that the markets will regulate themselves is fools gold, look at Goldman Sachs and their ongoing legal battle with overstock.com, look at what happened to Bear Sterns, Lehman, look at Bernie Madoff, look at Tyco and Worldcom, look at the Western Energy crisis. There must be some guiding laws and regulations, just like in society, or lawlessness will reign. Perhaps I am simply a fool, if so, then by all means point me to the proper links to read about how it will work.

Let me say first, that I am glad to see you paying attention to the evils of Goldman Sachs, particularly regarding overstock. Not that I am against all regulation, but you will find that so many of the Wall Street evils are enabled by the regulations ostensibly designed to limit them. Too big to fail?

What you have now is the companies with powerful lobbies writing rules and regulations that benefit them to the detriment of the little guys-Mercantilism. We would be far better off throwing out all of the regulations for a while and letting the market truly work.

The status quo is terrible but socialism-government ownership and fascism-government "partnering" with business (which is the model Obama appears to favor) are two worse models. So I vote to regulate less, not more. You may trust DC politicians to create Dodd-Frank with your and my best interest in mind, but I do not. Who do you think was the first to say "Never let a crisis go to waste"?
