• Welcome Purple People

    To me Purple People are those of us who are neither Republican Red nor Democrat Blue; we find ourselves in between. The internet often represents those on the far left or the far right; this site is for those of us in the middle.

    Since there are a variety of non-conformists that consider themselves Independents, here's a clarification. The point of view of this blog is basically Realist/Libertarian light...

    -Pro Small Government, bureaucracies tend to be wasteful and inefficient.

    -Government should not be the morality police.

    -Less waste, lower taxes. Taxes are okay if spent wisely. Roads and schools need funding. Be smart with my money and I won't complain.

    -Government shouldn't babysit adults. Help kids and assist people who have serious problems, but stop trying to protect everyone from themselves.

    -Foreign policy should be conducted by people with brains and experience. Think, don't be reckless and don't be politically motivated. Remember that the U.S. is not the only country in the world.

    -Tone down the rhetoric and remember your manners. Play nicely and don't belittle people who disagree with you.

IBD: Barack Obama’s Stealth Socialism

Posted on October 27, 2008 by kmorrison33

Investor’s Business Daily’s article Barack Obama’s Stealth Socialism is definitely worth a read. An exerpt follows…

During his NAACP speech earlier this month, Sen. Obama repeated the term at least four times. “I’ve been working my entire adult life to help build an America where economic justice is being served,” he said at the group’s 99th annual convention in Cincinnati.

And as president, “we’ll ensure that economic justice is served,” he asserted. “That’s what this election is about.” Obama never spelled out the meaning of the term, but he didn’t have to. His audience knew what he meant, judging from its thumping approval.

It’s the rest of the public that remains in the dark, which is why we’re launching this special educational series.

“Economic justice” simply means punishing the successful and redistributing their wealth by government fiat. It’s a euphemism for socialism.

In the past, such rhetoric was just that — rhetoric. But Obama’s positioning himself with alarming stealth to put that rhetoric into action on a scale not seen since the birth of the welfare state.

    Barak Obama is clearly a socialist, but let me remind everyone that the only difference between a socialist and a Marxist/Communist is that a Marxist brings re-distribution of wealth by means of force…we are trending towards Marxism and down the road don’t be surprised if we wake one morning to find chains on our liberty…

    Now that he is President Obama, his actions must be monitored closely as he pursues the promises he has made to his supporters. As the saying goes, “The price of freedom is eternal vigilance”. His stances on Military budget cuts, taxation, the Fairness Doctrine, gun control and taxation of ammunition, and his Internal Security Force all call for close scrutiny.
