Socialism has no place in the U.S.

Here’s a good letter to the editor in today’s Register Guard that thin-skulled socialist students should consider:

Can it be true that almost half of America is ready to vote for socialism?

The so-called Democratic candidates don’t even hide the fact they will socialize health care, raise taxes, open the border, decrease our military and confiscate corporate profits.

America is a nation of thinkers. Our ancestors came to this country to get away from a controlling government. They spilled their blood on many a battlefield so that we could carry on as a free nation with limited government involvement in our lives.

We are limited only by our imagination. We strive for success and hold our heads high as we achieve greatness in our careers and our communities.

The new Democrats believe you are entitled to greatness, that you can sit back and relax while others sweat and bleed so that you may reap the profits of their successes. The JKF Democrats would never have allowed this. They had class.

This two-party system is flawed. We will end up with the same results whether by Democrat or Republican. This administration has damaged the Republicans, but not the nation. We could recover unless the voters elect one of these liberal Democrats and socialism takes hold.

This is America, not France, England or the Netherlands. Socialism has no place in this country. Only cowards not willing to sacrifice a drop of their blood would so easily give away the very thing which made this country great: capitalism.
