Conversation with my liberal friend 'Bob' 4


Thank you, I have to work too… I get carried away.  I have been fooled for 10+ years, I was one of those ‘useful idiots’, I gave them my time and the little money I had.  I took personal risks for them.  I demonstrated and was roughed up by police on horses and water-canons.  I swallowed the ‘social justice’ theories and like many others I knew then, I got very disappointed and frustrated when I learned the rest of the picture.  Bob, I learned from the same books Obama and his friends got their ideas, I know the script (still) by heart.  It takes one to recognize one…  I came to this Country not without sacrifice, and I learned of the amazing beauty the true American Spirit is Bob. Don’t take it for granted, this is not common, this does not happen by accident, there are no others like America.  This is a very risky experiment in Freedom, and we can lose it.

If America is gone, there is nowhere to run Bob.  I know… been there, done that.

You never heard a police stop you and ask you for ‘papers’ while just walking.  No never felt intimidated by ‘power’.  You never heard ‘who gave you the RIGHT to do that?”.  Did you?  Don’t think this is the norm, this is the exception, globally.

This is the first place in the history of the world that you already HAVE all the rights.  You start with all the rights, and you only lose those that the Constitution allows Government to take away from you, and they are very few.   Everywhere else in the world Bob, you start with zero rights, and you are allowed to do what it is written as a law.  They start from the opposite end.

Our Constitution starts with WE THE PEOPLE in capital letters, and not by accident.  All others enumerate the rights THEY give to you.  If they don’t give them to you… you don’t have them.  Default is no rights unless explicitly given to you.  Those who give, can take away…

We enumerate the rights you don’t have instead. Rights that have been limited because they infringe on the rights of others.  Ain’t that beautiful?

The difference is no subtle, but most American’s are clueless to that.

We think the world hates us.  You know what they actually do hate about us? This is a recent discovery for me and comes verbatim from the mouth of an Ukrainian:  they hate that having so many opportunities, so much freedom, we still manage to screw-up.  They hate to see us feeling sorry for ourselves, because we really DO NOT KNOW what hardship is.

As for America, the world at large loves America and if we cease to be what we are (before somebody ‘substantially changes’ it) they lose the hope that even for them, live can be good one day in their own countries or with a visa lottery, right here.

In the protests at Tiananmen Square, you remember what was the symbol of the demonstrators, protesting about the tyranny of Communism?  A replica of the Statue of Liberty…  I get my eyes wet when I think about it.  We are the beacon to the world, especially to those who suffer the most under the worst dictatorships.  We are so because of our traditions, what we accomplished, what this Country stands for.  If we are no longer the America (with ups and downs, but always Conservative, always Capitalist, always consequent with our traditions), even the hope for those people disappears.

The Socialists do want to bring America to its knees, they do want to … well, I have to work J (but I know, I was one of them for over a decade Bob, I can still tell you –don’t ask me to sing- the words of the International Socialist and the first and last lines of the Communist Manifesto).

Bob, how many Communist friends you have?  How many you met?  Because on this White House, you had 2 (Van Jones, Anita Dunn) working there and several more (Ayers, etc.) as frequent visitors.  Makes you wonder?
