Guess who came up with this program? - Page 1

Guess who came up with this marvelous, well-meaning program:

We ask that the government undertake the obligation above all of providing citizens with adequate opportunity for employment and earning a living. The activities of the individual must not be allowed to clash with the interests of the community, but must take place within its confines and be for the good of all. Therefore, we demand:... an end to the power of the financial interests. We demand profit sharing in big business. We demand a broad extension of care for the aged. We demand... the greatest possible consideration of small business in the purchases of national, state, and municipal governments. In order to make possible to every capable and industrious [citizen] the attainment of higher education and thus the achievement of a post of leadership, the government must provide an all-around enlargement of our entire system of public education... We demand the education at government expense of gifted children of poor parents... The government must undertake the improvement of public health—by protecting mother and child, by prohibiting child labor... by the greatest possible support for all clubs concerned with the physical education of youth. We combat the... materialistic spirit within and without us, and are convinced that a permanent recovery of our people can only proceed from within on the foundation of the common good before the individual good. Yep, it was the Nazi Party, Munich, February 1920.

Actually, this is ripped off from Ayn Rand, who was *paraphrasing* Nazi Party statements during a speech in 1962, but don't let the truth get in the way.

If my memory serves me right I think it was originally composed by Karl Marx in his developing stages of "communism". I had a class in Cal State on building blocks of communism...

great this is going to drive me nuts, I will have to go and look it up in the book.....

Ayn Rand - is my hero......


"SUSTAINABILITY."
Mmm. It sounds so nice, doesn't it? Sustain—the word Sting chants (we can imagine) during his interminable tantric yoga sessions. Sustenance—stuff that tastes good and keeps you going. Sustainability—making sure that never again does the world suffer the mass slaughter of the buffalo or an overfishing disaster... Don't be fooled. The real reason you hear "sustainability" bandied about so much these days is because of a Marxist power grab which began at the 1992 Rio Earth Summit when chief organizer and One World Government advocate Maurice Strong inserted the word into key documents. Since the nit has spread like a virus through government and grass roots activist organizations. What "sustainability" really means is giving eco-Nazis over whom you have no democratic control carte blanche to dictate how you use your land, when and how you can travel, and even when you take a shower.

"Ayn Rand - is my hero......"

You mean "heroine"!

You do know that Ayn Rand was a woman, right?

Damn uppity, Atheist women need to learn their place. [/sarcasm]

No, she didn't have a clue. When you simply lift the words of someone else, you really should provide attribution.

Lady Frost, you really think Karl Marx would have "demanded profit sharing in big business"?  Critical thinking skills, activate!

SitasMom was quoting James Delingpole, from his book 365 Ways to Drive a Liberal Crazy.
