Change can be a wonderful thing. It can be a useful thing. It can be the right thing. It can even be a necessary thing. But it isn't always any of those things; sometimes it is absolutely unwise. Furthermore, if change is needed, you really need to determine what is supposed to be changed, and in what way.
Right now, Occupy Wall Street, with the approval of Obama and his Wall Street funded cronies are pushing for more socialism, more regulation, and higher taxes on earned income.
When Mr. Obama was elected in 2008, his signature sound bite was "Hope and Change." Everyone wants hope, and America wants change. Obama did not, however, specify what change he promised, and the change he has given America is a vast acceleration of the move towards socialism that became fashionable in the 1960's.
That was not the change America wanted, however. A recent Rasmussen poll found that 67 percent of America's political class thinks America's move toward socialism is the right direction, while 84 percent of America's citizens want to turn around and move the other direction.
Wait just a minute, here. Sixteen percent of the country wants socialism. They want to throw away all that God and Country nonsense, all that capitalism and free-market nonsense. In their view, this is an opportunity to follow in the footsteps of Europe, the Soviet Union and its satellites, China, and so on: an opportunity to break America free from the grip of backwards conservatives.
So why should America change that to socialism? America was founded as a Democratic Republic on Judeo-Christian principles. America has, as the pilgrims hoped, stood as a lighthouse to the world. It has been a unique place. People who have "enjoyed" socialism flee to America from all over the world; there really is no other country that people with conservative views can move to and live in.
On the other hand, there are many socialist countries in the world, many places a true socialist could choose to live. You don't see the liberals packing up to move, however. They could go to a country that is already socialist and make it better there; show them how socialism is done. Down deep, they know that socialism makes exorbitant promises and does not deliver. America's "socialists" are, at heart, little more than spoiled children. Their slovenly behavior at their protests suggests that what they are most "green" with is envy of the success others have worked for and achieved in the America that Conservatives built.
