A May Day Look At The “Leading Power In The World”

Here are some May Day (May 1st) protests taking place across Europe.  I’d like to point out that most of these are “nationalized” places that embrace the notion of socialism. I don’t know about you all, but throwing molotov cocktails at a demonstration is something I definitely DID NOT DO at my local Tea Party. In fact, post-REAL-cocktails were more appropriate for the tone of protest that Mock and I experienced in Indianapolis.

The talk of socialized or nationalized healthcare, the ever-growing power of our government and its reach into my pockets and the pockets of the private sector – it makes me look at footage such as this and shake my head in, well, disgust.

I don’t know how anyone could think this is better. But yet, our President believes that these countries are the “leading power in the world.” Go figure. And his is where we’re heading, people. If you think that socialism dressed in any type of clothing is the cure, you need to wake. the. hell. up.

And, of course, for those of you that are definitely going to write in and try to tell me how superior nationalized/socialized anything is as compared to American capitalism, I’ll just shut up now and let you listen to a French economist instead. She’s way more upbeat than me when it comes to delivering the news of the possible demise of everything the country that I know and love has stood for since its inception – at the hands of a too-powerful government. Dramatic? Why, sure it is. I’ll take that title.

Two words: Train Wreck.
