The road to redefining America is being paved with your tax dollar

Social Justice has become the latest shroud for liberal takeover of our culture and community.  The left is masterful at crafting confusing and enticing language the masses accept without a deliberate look at the focus.  Case in point: Pro-Choice.  I mean, who isn’t for letting others choose, and me also for that matter? { Except for the little fact that it doesn’t allow any choice to the human being whose heart is beating. }

At the magic moment that awareness and opinion meet in ones psyche, the Left will deliberately confuse the matter by attributing lies.  Such is the case with the latest bastion of bologna being spun for liberal advancement.

What is social justice?  Well, it’s hard to say, and as usual, one must do their own reporting because the liberal media will oft allow the Left their way of mincing words.  Indeed, social justice isn’t a new concept.  The Canadians to the North certainly embrace the term and rally behind it as if it were religion.  Culture has become religion for so many.  As our hopey, changey President continues to illustrate his agenda, it becomes increasingly clear that nothing in his repertoire is exactly new… he just mimics the political atmosphere of our Northern neighbor, focusing us on a cultural “awakening.”

In an exercise of fairness, let’s have a self-proclaimed, knowledgeable liberal explain what he feels the definition of “social justice” is.  The scene for this is at Glenn Beck’s “Restoring Honor” event in Washington, D.C.  My friend, Ben Howe, was there and reported and produced this awesome video.  Read his post at Red State, here.

If it’s even necessary to draw a conclusion after that succinct definition, I will only add to the effort by saying, “Social Justice” has become the left’s new economic policy.  In order to “restabilize” the country, they want to systematically redistribute wealth amongst the people.  Ready socialism.  The President predicted to Joe the Plumber on the campaign trail that his intention was to do so.  The left is quick to marginalize the criticism but it fits the definition like leggings on a fat girl.  Tight.

The only conspiracy theory outstanding is whether or not the Left is intentionally destabilizing the economy to institute the practice.  One can certainly see the plausibility of this argument since nonsense spending outside of our means is rampant with renewed efforts to spend yet again.

In retrospect, we know that Conservatives have their own analysis of economic policies that eliminate deficits.  The most famous example of workable a solution is the “trickle down” politics of Ronald Reagan.  The hero of Conservative thought was adept at defining his philosophy and practicing it. He took hits during his administration but weathered the storm long enough to prove its effective nature.  Coupled with fiscal restraint, it is the pinnacle of our great society.

These two philosophies define the two parties at this point.  Spend versus save.  Give to the government to manage or allow you to manage yourself.  Trust the system or trust the people.

The lines are drawn, it is up to the parties to “sell” their philosophy to the population.  But, as Conservatives have long complained, the insidious permeation of our journalism and educational systems is skewing the playing field for the message of conservative versus liberal thought.  One could effectively argue our public university system, funded by taxpayer dollars, is already showing the rusty edges of corrosion.  There is but one place our government is to remain unhindered by government ideology:  the spending of our public taxpayer dollars.  You agree, yes?  The collective spending power of the American people should not go to a political party… it’s ideology or attempt to rewrite history, yes?

Today, your government is ACTIVELY and purposefully funding the idea of social justice.

Here is a useful example, one that is popping up in my backyard….

As you are all well aware, our government sought to avert financial crisis by passing a series of “stimulus” bills that would inject needed cash into the economy.  Sold as “the” fix for unemployment, the population was sold the promise of jobs – shovel-ready…

We all know how that worked out. (Yes, that was the HuffPo.  Really.)

One of the many public programs funds agencies that support the poor and unemployed.  These agencies are worthy in many respects.   This, too, sounds like a great concept… deliver relief to agencies on a local level that can help pay electric bills and other necessities until families recover.  However, nested in the nearly 5.5 million dollars that was received merely to *my* local Missouri Valley Community Action Agency, there is a hidden plan of indoctrination.

THIS WEEKEND, coinciding with September 11^th, the MO Valley Community Action Agency (MVCAA) is joining with my alma mater, University of Central Missouri to put on an “International” Film Festival featuring films that teach and support the idea of…. Yes, social justice.

Of course they confuse the issue in their mission statement:

The purpose of the Show Me Social Justice International Film Festival is to raise awareness of Social Justice Issues. Using a variety of artistic media, our goal is to impact our communities, both locally and globally, in order to inspire personal responsibility and positive action.

PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY?  The act of taking from one and rewarding another IN NO WAY demonstrates a person’s responsibility for self NOR has it ever, in the history of man, promoted a sense of self-worth and can-do. Can’t you just see the left falling apart with laughter as they use George W. Bush’s famous term?  And what is positive action?  It’s as ambiguous as the wind.

After reviewing the Board of the MVCAA, it became clear in my mind that none of these individuals could have dreamed up the scheme so I began to look around…

Yes, they are borrowing the idea from the North:

And while I cannot confirm that each film festival is tax-payer funded, it seems clear that it is popping up around the country.  California. Louisiana. New York.

Are you comfortable funding a liberal agenda?  Are you outraged that money that should be helping the unemployed and creating jobs is diverting funds to an event that 60 people on Facebook “like?”

The lasting legacy of this effort is a rewriting of history.  Want to see it in practice?

The Missouri Association of Social Welfare claims the following:

“A Citizen’s Voice for Social Justice Since 1901.” (funding via the United Way)

Interesting, since the U.S. didn’t begin to really embrace the term until the 50s and 60s.  The point here is that this old philosophy is being embraced by any social welfare program in an effort to tell this story: “our roots are deep.”  They claim we should embrace a redistribution of wealth out of tradition.   JUST as the Tea Party quotes the founders and the traditions therein.

This, my friends, is how they will rise up.   Social Justice, built on a foundation of lies, stealing our language and creating a shroud of “tradition”  is already OF the government and we are OF the people.  This will become the battlefield in which a war will be waged.

This is it.  The most definitive teaching you need to know about where you are heading on an economic front.  The other fronts are important too, but just consider:  if you are doing this to your pocketbook, where are you going to be in trying to deal with the rest of it?  You won’t.  The government will be the only one with power and isn’t that really the point of this administration?  They are robbing you of your freedom – one dollar at a time.  And then they will own you.

The diversion in our beliefs is how to get there. I believe that each measure in the stimulus should be individually introduced, debated, trimmed and accounted for to ensure it actually provides a stimulus. We need bill 101 – ENERGY POLICY. We need bill 102 – UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFIT EXTENSION. (And so on and so forth.) Let’s not pass a tired bill filled with pork that is lost in 6,000 pages. Let’s pass individual bills on each priority, create a system of accounting for EXACTLY how it benefits the people, and then pass them individually.

We are in NEED mode, not want. Some things need to wait.

Check out Obama chattering with the democrats. He’s right — we need to change our methods. We also need to agree that this change isn’t measured. And we should be measuring each step right now. Families and business have to. So should our governement.

This is a less-than-exciting new development since, according to the audit released two days ago by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, the funds for the already passed stimulus package are more than 66% awarded. This figure doesn’t add in the cost of the regulatory process used to award the money or the new boards and reviews that were put together to oversee the process.

I suppose this “form over substance” move is merely a ploy since the administration is trying to gain traction for the new economic “stimulus” package which is coming under direct fire. However, since the package has very little to do with bailing out anyone other than the government and states from their own financial indiscretions, it is little more than lip service to be played on tonights evening news cast. If you are not paying attention, however, Obama’s team is setting up a p.r. position for Obama which would resonate with, “man of the people.” The working man and woman will come home and hear the soundbite of Obama siding with their own ideas of, “why are these executives getting off scott-free when I am cutting my expenses and doing without to raise my family?”

Note to reader: if you don’t think that those executives will sneak around these new rules, just like the lobbiests have over the Obama move to “ban” lobbyist control over the executive brance, you need to wake up.

Let me show you a break down of his current plan, (which, by the way, is daily being desconstructed by the budget offices. All the while, the spending democrats are adding new pork.)

This breakdown shows exactly where the (by some conservative estimates) over 1.3 trillion dollars will be spent once you realize interest – which will inevitabily have to be paid back to the loaning party. Can anyone say, “are we Chinese?”

I am sure you can all remember the insane plastered smile from Nancy Pelosi when her party gained majority and by clear margins. Have we forgotten that this party has the power to roll right over the Republicans in this regard? Pass it for God’s sake, if we are facing “CATASTROPHE” without it. Or are you afraid?
