The difference between modern American conservatives, moderates, and liberals is a matter of greed and how they handle money. That difference lies in the definitions of their beliefs. A conservative spends conservatively and saves money. A moderate spends moderately using more than is necessary. A liberal spends liberally and borrows what they do not have to spend what they want and go deep into debt.
There are only two ways to make money. One is through trade by working and providing goods or services that others will buy. The other is through theft, stealing from those who work to produce. When those who spend more money than they have run out of ways to obtain more legitimately, they resort to stealing whether through criminal acts against the law or by corrupting the law from within.
Barack Obama imagines himself to be a Julius Caesar, but he is no more a Caesar than he is a Robin Hood. Both men have become legends, and both have had Leftists myths created about them that are opposite of the truth. Caesar, they say, wanted to return the wealth to the people that greedy Roman patricians had stolen from them. Robin Hood, according to the Left, robbed from the rich and gave to the poor. Both of these are lies.
The Rome of Caesar: When Caesar was born the Republic of Rome had been corrupted. Originally founded by farmers and merchants who established a Republican government to provide a central authority for laws and defense, over the centuries the greedy acquired power. These men used their wealth to acquire more wealth at the expense of the common people. By the time of Caesar, almost all the land was owned by an extremely wealthy few, was worked by slaves while the freemen of the Republic were left without jobs and lived in squalor.
Caesar did not set out to steal wealth away from the Patrician Class by taxing them and giving it to the indolent poor, but insisted that they hire freemen to work for them. This way, citizens would have the ability to earn their own keep and provide a better living for their families. Although Caesar wanted to be Emperor of Rome, he was not a malevolent Leftist dictator who would steal from the rich and give to the poor. He was a rightwing leader who saw the value in keeping a rein on the greedy and allowing the common man to prosper.
The England of Robin Hood: Robin of Loxley was born a Saxon, a descendant of the peoples who had conquered England a couple of centuries before Duke William of Normandy wrestled the crown from their king a century before he was born. The Norman rulers were not benevolent ones (as few dictators are) but sought to make Saxons poor while making themselves rich. In the medieval era, kings ruled their lands with an iron fist.
On returning from the Crusades where he had fought alongside King Richard I to repel the Moslem Turk’s invasion, he found his lands confiscated by the king’s brother, Prince John. John had levied oppressive taxes on the people and many of the freemen lost their homes as he seized their lands for the crown. King Richard was imprisoned by the Austrian king awaiting ransom while Prince John raped the land, but not to provide the ransom as he was happy to rule.
Robin spent the next few years fighting tax collectors and the nobles to acquire enough to ransom the king. He did not steal from rich merchants on the highway, but from the government that was oppressing his people. When King Richard was freed and returned to England to depose Prince John, he re-established the rights of Saxons in the kingdom. Robin of Loxley did not rob the rich to give to the poor, he fought an oppressive government and helped those in need.
In the history of the United States, similar events transpired. A republic established by freemen to throw off the yoke of a dictator who taxed them oppressively, the U.S. prospered mightily the first century. By the end of the 20th century, however, a greedy few had acquired great wealth and used that wealth to acquire great power in government.
Theodore Roosevelt was a Caesar who fought the greedy rich. He fought these men who worked their employees in sweatshops and filthy factories while giving them starvation wages on which they lived in squalor. He did not tax them to steal away their wealth through the government and give it to the poor.
Instead he made laws to break up monopolies so they could not dominate and exploit the working class, and he established union laws to allow workers to bargain with their employers for better wages rather than just be replaced by someone who was so desperate to work they would do so more cheaply. But organized crime saw their opportunity to infiltrate yet another base of power and corrupted unions to their own ends.
The problem with being a free and prosperous people is that wealth attracts the greedy, and whether by hook or by crook they gather that wealth for themselves. (By hook or by crook is a colloquialism describing those who acquire money either by convincing people to give it to them or by stealing it.) Liberal Democrats rose to power after Roosevelt because of the divide in the Republican Party between moderates and conservatives by convincing the working people they acted for their benefit by stealing from the rich through extreme taxation.
Wilson’s taxes caused a depression as the government took money from the rich so they could not afford to hire workers. When Republicans were re-elected and lowered taxes, America enjoyed a boom in the 1920s. But after the stock market crash of ’29, Democrats got control of Congress again and made things ten times worse by raising taxes and blaming Republicans. This resulted in their getting a Supermajority for the first time in 1932 and enacting laws that tanked the economy, successfully blaming Republicans for everything and establishing a base for keeping power for the next fifty years.
Today, America is in the same dilemma. Congressional Democrats successfully tanked the economy and then blamed President Bush and Republicans despite proof Democrats controlled the banks that crashed the mortgage market. People elected them to a Supermajority and the greatest tax increase since the Great Depression was enacted through ObamaCare. As the economy languishes, Democrats rake in more money from the people while spending ten times more lavishly than ever.
Barack Obama is no Caesar, he’s another Prince John. He is not Teddy Roosevelt, he’s a Woodrow Wilson. Caesar and Roosevelt fought the greedy rich for the sake of all the people. Obama and his ilk fight the people on behalf of the greedy poor to make themselves rich.
Democrat propagandists fool the people into believing Republicans fight for the greedy rich, but the fact is that is what the moderates of the party do, not the conservatives. Conservatives don’t need more wealth than is necessary to function efficiently. Democrats are the party of mostly liberals with some moderates, while Republicans are a party run by mostly moderates with some conservatives. Conservatives don’t make promises of Utopia and deliver dystopia as liberals and moderates do. Ronald Reagan and Newt Gingrich proved how conservative values could make America prosper.
Democrats work on rewriting history and blame Reagan for the excessive spending of his Democrat Congress, and Clinton takes credit for Gingrich forcing Congress to balance the budget. Obama says government needs money to spend on making the economy work. That is only true when the government runs a “protection racket” wherein the people must serve the government rather than the government serving the people.
Obama says the greatest danger to his America is Christians and not Moslems who wage war with America. The greatest danger to his transforming America into another socialist dictatorship is patriotic Americans. Democrats succeeded in sucking the wealth out of Americans for fifty years until the Reagan revolution, but even that has fallen to propaganda and a complacent public easily duped by those in power.
Most of the people do not care that these Democrats who say they are “selfless public servants” who “look after the little guy” enter office poor men and leave as multi-millionaires. Those who bow to tyranny seek to prosper at the feet of their masters who steal from those who produce and give a pittance to their chattel. If anyone does not know how you kill the Golden Goose, they are witnessing it happen right now as the corrupt take control.
