Hillary as Comrade in Chief

I have no idea what the original Russian says on this poster, but I thought it was a good fit for the expression Hillary has. (If you know what it says, I'm all ears.) I don't think Hillary is a Stalin by a long shot, but when leaders embrace socialism and collectivism, they are leading us down the path that will bring us a Stalin eventually. The fact that they should know this gives them culpability. Maybe they didn't hang us from the tree, but they plant and water the seed of the hanging-tree.

Barack - Leader of the USSA

This will be the first in a series. Photoshopping is just a pasttime, but pictures do get the point across quickly. Both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are promising all sorts of new entitlement plans, and want to expand existing ones. They want to move us significantly down the path towards becoming the United Socialist States of America. The fact that thousands show up to listen to them promise free gifts for all is a testament to the need for the public to be educated on the hopelessness of collectivism, and where it inevitably leads in the end.

Freedom: Struggle for Individualism

Below is a blurb from an article that promotes Individualism and explains why Ron Paul is their man for US President in '08. I'm not promoting Paul, but I thought the article expained some core truths well...

Freedom: Struggle for Individualism:

Voluntary altruism is moral.
The threat to individual human liberty occurs when altruism is institutionalized in the form of government. Institutionalized altruism is the tipping point when the needs or wants of the masses supersede rights of the individual. When the earned rewards of individual labors are involuntarily taken, and redistributed to those who claim to have the greatest need.

Compulsory altruism is unjust.
Compulsory altruism is called socialism, communism, or fascism. Collectivism. Every form of collectivism requires a hierarchy of leaders who determine how collective wealth is redistributed as welfare, or subsidies. Those leaders form an oligarchy — whether appointed or elected — and the circle is complete: the will of the few once again controls the behavior of the masses. This oligarchy seeks both foreign and domestic control.

Earl Pearson: Collectivism is a nice idea that simply doesn't work - Monday, Jan. 28, 2008

Any government big enough to give you everything you need, is big enough to take it all away, right Earl? Quote below from Earl Pearson's article speaking out against the danger of collectivism...

Union Leader - Earl Pearson: Collectivism is a nice idea that simply doesn't work - Monday, Jan. 28, 2008: "ECENTLY THERE was a political ad on TV in which a number of children appear consecutively pleading for politicians to tell the truth and not to make promises they cannot keep. The final battle cry was, 'Health care and financial security for all.'
'Financial security for all' sounds great -- if you know nothing about the consequences. What would happen to the incentive to work, to productivity, creativity, competition and all the other factors necessary to support a thriving economy and a decent standard of living if we all had financial security provided by the government?"

Libertarians Rising article

Nice to see others notice the aligning of individualism vs collectivism, though they use different terms. From Time.com:

Libertarians and communitarians (to continue this unjustified generalizing) are different character types. Communitarians tend to be bossy, boring and self-important, if they're not being oversweetened and touchy-feely. Libertarians, by contrast, are not the selfish monsters you might expect. They are earnest and impractical--eager to corner you with their plan for using old refrigerators to reverse global warming or solving the traffic mess by privatizing stoplights. And if you disagree, they're fine with that. It's a free country.
