Mixing Golf and Politics
Beginning with Woodrow Wilson, the Democratic Party became the party of socialism. Socialism is an economic model that has failed, and will always fail, every time it is tried. Democrats peddle socialism as an aid for the less fortunate. In fact, socialism rewards sloth, subsidizes failure and handicaps the productive. Socialism ends up doing the most harm to the very people it was intended to help. The intended results for socialism are reversed because the incentives are backwards.
Before you dismiss this view as too radical, let me ask you a couple of questions prefaced by a few facts:
Freedom is the exercising of your right to make choices.
Social Security is the center piece of socialism for the Democrats.
Social Security is a mandatory program.
Government mandates that if you work in America, you will participate in the government retirement program irregardless of your own preferences. Government makes the choices, not the people that work.
Now the questions:
Is this your idea of freedom?
If Social Security works and is the successful program that enjoys the popular approval that Democrats would have you believe, why do Democrats refuse to allow making participation in Social Security an individual voluntary choice?
Your answers to the questions reveal the lies and the motive behind them. Socialism provides job security to politicians. But for working Americans, socialism is the economic equivalent of cancer. Professional politicians are the cause and the sole means of spread. America will only be safe from socialism when we have term limits for members of Congress and term limits for the federal judiciary. If the United States is to remain solvent and free, Americans must stop drinking the Democrat's Kool-aid.
Four years after his retirement, President Reagan identified Rush Limbaugh as America's most effective spokesmen for conservatism. In spite of Reagan's success, Rush's success, and the success of Newt's Contract with America, there are still far too few Republicans or other conservatives willing to confront and effectively oppose Democrats and their socialistic programs. Assuming the theory behind Excellence in Golf is correct, the economic potential of EIG could be sufficient to elect enough conservatives to office to end socialism before the Gokhale-Smetters clock runs out.
