  " The Democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who would work and it give it to those that would not. " Thomas Jefferson 

 I didn't listen to a single word of Joe Bidens prepared comments. I'm certain they were not prepared by him at any rate but did read where 4 billion dollars in American relief act monies is going to Central America. I wasn't aware that America now includes North America, Central American and the entire Southern continent of the "Americas. " But apparently that is now the case. I gather the plan to prevent all those in central America from fleeing their socialist hellholes is to pay them to just stay home. That should solve that problem. Somehow I doubt that plan will work. Just who will actually receive those funds? The governments of those nations. Does anyone really believe they are going to disperse those funds among the population? 

 Now to be accurate about it Cuba is the only country in the southern hemisphere that is practicing strict socialism. All the other nations have varying forms of democracy. Some have constitutional democracies and some democratic socialism. It is important to understand that those countries claim to be democracies. And to many here in America democracies sound great! Bernie Sanders constantly raves about being a Democratic Socialist! He has a lot of supporters here in America, those folks that believe they are entitled to certain things by virtue of being alive. The same people that believe killing an unwanted child is a choice I might add. They want a Constitutional Democracy! Yeah, just like say, Nicaragua, although officially the call themselves the Republic of Nicaragua. More political double talk. Well Nicaragua has more people fleeing that nation than ticks off a dog being shampooed. And where are they running to? A Constitutional Republic, namely, the United States of America. Wonder why that is? It's because no matter what they call themselves they are running the country under socialist principles. And socialism, in any of its' various forms, never works! It will never work! 

 Today we have a congress that wishes for nothing more than to operate under socialist rules. It has already happened. The 50 got their way over the 49. That is an example of a simple democracy. And when that simple democracy is being run by those with a socialist bent, you get socialist results. That was the final vote in the Senate, 50 to 49. The last time the Republicans all voted in favor of something, with all the Democrats opposing, was for the 13th amendment! Yes, that was voting to free the slaves. So if you wish to point fingers and say, well the Republicans did the same thing, I would say, yes we did! Difference was what? Supporting the ideals of a Republic vs supporting the agenda of socialism. That was the difference.

 Well, it is what is at the moment. Mid term elections aren't that far off. I haven't forgotten about Article Five either. A convention of the States. I will continue to support that. That is the means to bring the socialists in our government today in check. Term limits can be imposed, voter ID laws implemented, and a balanced budget amendment. I do hope this is going to be an eye opener for some. I realize a great number of people will be content as long as they get "free" stuff. I also know nothing is free and sooner or later you do have to pay the piper. It's my hope that will open those eyes.
