Is Socialism Good For Us?
Upcoming broadcast - Dec. 26th, 2008
AM 1380 KTKZ, Sacramento

Listen is as Host John Snyder and Alexandra Berauer discuss whether Socialism is really good for us? In light of what we should expect under an Obama Administration and a Democratic Party controlled Congress, Americans should begin thinking more deeply about what Socialism will mean for us, and why we should be leery of it. Republican talk radio vehemently condemns the excessive transfers of wealth under a welfare state as being unjust, intrusive of economic liberty, and an impediment to productivity. But are these the most dangerous aspects of Socialism? Tonight Two Conservative Christians will explore what Socialism is at a deeper level. Is the problem with the welfare state primarily one of inefficiency and restricted freedom or is there something deeper in the presumptions of Socialism that ultimately run contrary to human nature as we find it rather than what we wish it were.

In 1944, the winter weather in the Ardennes Forest was hovering at or below zero. The U.S. military had to run the engines of their transport trucks every twenty minutes to prevent the vehicle’s motor oil from freezing. German General von Rundstedt took advantage of the dismal weather to launch an Axis winter offensive on December 16, now know as the “Battle of the Bulge.”

In today’s America, many of the nihilist guardians of our Republic have twisted the clear meaning of the First Amendment of our Constitution into a shield protecting our more delicate citizens from the psychic shock that results at the mere site of anything having the slightest Christian connotation.

In a recent column appearing in the mouthpiece for American nihilism, the New York Times, Bill Ayers, co-founder of the domestic terror organization The Weather Underground, bemoaned the recent election controversy surrounding his personal and political association with President-Elect Obama:

Standing behind the fictitious emblem for the “Office of President-Elect,” Barak Obama announced his pick for the nation’s next Attorney General, Eric Holder. The choice is proof that Obama’s fabricated seal-of-office isn’t the only example of the future administration’s leap into the realm of make-believe.

The recent terror attacks in Mumbai, India, after thirty years of jihadist violence and mass murder, managed to seize the attention of an affluent Western World – if only temporarily – from its mind-numbing diversions.

Lost in this year’s election and economic bad news was that fact that the United States will soon be without a manned space program. The surviving three Space Shuttles will retire from service sometime in 2010.

Spectacles of Turbulence:
The Death of American Exceptionalism

In President Bill Clinton’s State of the Union address in 1993, he said: “Later this year, we will offer a plan to end welfare as we know it. No one wants to change the welfare system as much as those who are trapped by the welfare system.”

In March of 1941, things were not going well for Great Britain. In a single week, German U-boats sank 59,000-tons of British shipping, and England seemed certain to loose its desperate struggle with Adolph Hitler. Britain’s Permanent Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Sir Alexander Cadogan, wrote a memo to England’s Prime Minister Winston Churchill.

In a speech before Wall Street’s movers-and-shakers, President Bush engaged in the Orwellian doublespeak that has plagued his administration and its many followers among the loyal Republican rank-and-file.

I think you overstate our President’s shortcomings while ignoring his successes. If you criticize the man, at least be constructive. It does none of us who consider ourselves part of the conservative movement any good to see those who should be on our side tearing down our leader. (Good or bad, this man is the ranking Republican in the land).

When I think of the Republican Party I think of Rick’s Café Americain, the nightclub that served as the backdrop for the Warner Brother’s 1942 film classic Casablanca. Most of the story takes place in a saloon run by the romantic and cynical American expatriate Richard Blaine. His nightclub represents an oasis in an oasis, and a place of escape for refugees fleeing Nazi occupied Europe.

Two seemingly unrelated events occurred on election day – Sen. Barak Obama, the self described “community organizer,” became the 44th President of the United States, and three state constitutional amendments (in California, Arizona and Florida), declaring the union of a man and woman the only legal definition of marriage, were approved by the voters.

Well, it's over for Sen. John McCain. Not only is Barak Hussein Obama President Elect, his electoral coattails increased the Democratic majority in the U.S. Congress. McCain, I’m sure, will take comfort in the fact that when he returns to the U.S. Senate, he can fulfill his Presidential campaign pledge to "reach across the aisle," helping the sizable Democratic majority in the good-old Republican spirit of bipartisan co-operation – “Country First,” and all that.

The New York Times has discovered more damning evidence against the Republican Vice Presidential contender Sara Palin – her belief in a moral universe.

Joe Wurzelbacher – a.k.a. Joe the plumber – asked the Democratic presidential candidate Barak Obama a straight question, “Your new tax plan is going to tax me more, isn’t it?”

During a recent campaign town hall meeting, John McCain spoke to some very frustrated supporters.

“We want to fight, and I will fight,” said McCain, “but we will be respectful. I admire Sen. Obama and his accomplishments. I will respect him (boos from the audience). No, no, I want everyone to be respectful. And let’s make sure we are because that’s the way politics should be conducted in America.”

During the first Presidential candidate debate, moderator Jim Lehrer asked a series of questions about how the financial bailout of Wall Street might affect each candidate’s priorities if elected President of the United States .  Unsatisfied with the responses from Senators McCain and Obama, Lehrer rephrased the question three times:

Even while America is reeling from Congressional sticker shock from the $700 Billion bailout, we must come to grips with a phenomenon which is likely be become a fixture of a Congress controlled by the political left.

What we must prepare ourselves for is a country ruled less by law and moral conscience and more by the Rule by Crisis.

“And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.” –Book of Revelation, Chapter 18

In a national vote on October 15, 2005, a majority of Iraqis ratified that nation’s constitution making Sharia (Islamic Law) the law of the land. The Iraqi Constitution reads in part:
