				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.conservativedailynews.com/2012/12/what-i-find-offensive-socialism/marxists/" rel="attachment wp-att-77433"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-77433" title="marxists" src="http://www.conservativedailynews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/marxists.jpg" alt="" width="448" height="314" /></a></p>
<p>Allow me to ventilate something that&#8217;s on my chest and not worry about leftists&#8217; precious feelings.</p>
<p>Racism, sexism, bigotry, homophobia, Islamophobia, misogyny and bronyism &#8212; all abhorrent in their various manifestations. (I won&#8217;t lie, I find <em>My Little Ponies</em> strangely erotic.) Yet none of these stupid ideas by themselves killed anyone. They were, well, stupid ideas.</p>
<p>Socialism as some laudable political system that is going to save us all from&#8230; work? Dumb meets deadly. And death, except when it comes to kittens and marmosets, is something I find extremely offensive.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s true that racism has inspired hateful bigotry and full grown men running around in white sheets and pointy hats. And no, not just Democrats. Well, mostly Democrats, but I digress.</p>
<p>But properly constrained within an economic system that protects property rights, and away from depraved mustached guys with Panzer tanks, then racism is a despicable ideology that leads to idiotic name-calling and not much else. It&#8217;s a fetish that grows within the vile petri dish of misguided redneck outrage, and in its most virulent form, not many places outside of that.</p>
<p>And that&#8217;s what racism has become in modern America in the majority of cases: a grievance of people who don&#8217;t like their feelings hurt, and not a justification for real oppression. Thank goodness all races can become super-rich millionaires simply by whacking little sticks with little balls (but enough about my sex life).</p>
<p>I hate racists and actual racism. There I said it. But I also hate when people misuse the charged emotions and hurt feelings the epithet &#8220;racist&#8221; provokes to advance an ulterior motive &#8212; say, <em>socialism</em>.</p>
<p>Oh, I&#8217;m sorry. Am I allowed to say &#8220;socialism&#8221;? Or has that become one of those unmentionable &#8216;isms&#8217;? We could switch to progressivism, if you&#8217;d prefer. That&#8217;s the watered-down Kool-aid form, the Flavor Aid of socialism, if you will. (I&#8217;m sorry if you found that remark racist. Alright, no I&#8217;m not.)</p>
<p>Socialism is pretty much the opposite of everything America stands for. Individual rights for all kinds of people &#8212; blacks, whites, Latinos, dwarves, midget dwarves, little people, and even freaks like me. Private property, so that other people (whether they call themselves the IRS or not) can&#8217;t steal your bling. Limited government, because who the hell is in favor of unlimited government? That&#8217;s right, <em>progressives</em>.</p>
<p>Ask a progressive when the government has gone too far and she&#8217;s likely to tell you that it stops at her bedroom. Or the womb. Except if it&#8217;s springing for a case of Magnums and a bottle of Fire &amp; Ice lubrigel &#8212; then it&#8217;s party on!</p>
<p>What progressives don&#8217;t get is that in order to buy those Democrat pleasure packs (which will be handed out by Sandra Fluke at the next convention) &#8216;government&#8217; had to slink into someone&#8217;s bedroom like a sexy Anne Hathaway in full black leather bodysuit and knee-high glossy stilettos to slip someone&#8217;s wallet out of his side dresser drawer.</p>
<p>Ironically, as he dreamt about Anne Hathaway.</p>
<p>Anyway, the point is there is nothing sacred to a socialist government, and once you give up your economic freedom, pretty much everything else follows. You can complain all you want about Bible thumpers as you&#8217;re working on the state farm for vodka and white bread rations, but it&#8217;s likely to get you more blank stares than Honey Boo Boo accepting a Grammy for her song about Kim Kardashian. Because the tike&#8217;s belt doesn&#8217;t match her boots, the little ignoramus.</p>
<p>Disagreeing with a Democrat president who happens to be black is <em>not</em> racist. It may show an affinity for &#8220;hate facts,&#8221; but it doesn&#8217;t mean you think the white race is superior to the black race (or <em>vice versa</em>). It certainly isn&#8217;t offensive to point out President Obama has a suspect history of economic failure that just happens to benefit the Democrat Party. Purely by coincidence, one can be sure.</p>
<p>But <a href="http://www.ijreview.com/2012/12/24780-socialist-failure-a-history-in-pictures/" target="_blank">socialism</a>? There&#8217;s a seedy backstory to that ideology that would make even Sasha Grey blush. So we&#8217;re not supposed to talk about it, because it&#8217;s noble and stuff &#8212; at least that&#8217;s what my professors kept telling me. We&#8217;re talking poverty, and mass murder, and misery, and really bad jokes. (If I hear one more &#8220;In Russia bad joke make you&#8221; kind of joke, I&#8217;m going to beat someone&#8217;s groin area with a wiffle-ball bat. There I go again.)</p>
<p>The phony taking offense at anyone who doesn&#8217;t adhere to the Democrat Party line, crying racism, and sexism, and bigotry like a five-year-old with a PC version of Tourette&#8217;s syndrome, just doesn&#8217;t cut the mustard anymore. Some conservatives are on to the left&#8217;s <a href="http://frankfurtschool.us/history.htm" target="_blank">Frankfurt School</a> games (and no, that&#8217;s not the biennial culinary Olympics for hot dog chefs).</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll see your racism, and raise you an &#8216;ism&#8217; &#8212; <em>socialism</em>. And since <a href="http://www.ijreview.com/2012/12/24009-poll-shows-obama-voters-love-socialism-for-real/" target="_blank">more than half</a> of Democrats think it&#8217;s pretty keen, it&#8217;s legitimate to drag the hundred million skeletons out of the socialist closet. One last time. Because it&#8217;s politically useful.</p>
<p>The dead bodies, the broke economies, the starvation, the ruin, the shattered lives, the debt piled onto my kids&#8217; backs, their limited futures, the ignorance of history, the blithe insistence that naysayers don&#8217;t get it &#8212; I find that all pretty offensive. And, as <a href="http://www.amazon.com/The-Joy-Hate-Triumph-Whiners/dp/0307986969" target="_blank">Greg Gutfeld</a> might say, if you don&#8217;t agree &#8212; that probably makes you a socialist.</p>
