A Civics Lesson for America the Ignorant

3 Terms that people throw around and don't know the meaning of:

1) Constitution - A very simple document that outlines the fundamentals of United States Doctrine. The Constitution’s main purpose is to protect the people from unlawful treatment by the Government. Simply stating that something is Unconstitutional is an easy accusation to make. To prove it; usually leads to troubles with the user of the statement. There are only 26 Amendments to the original constitution so labeling so many things as Unconstitutional pretty much statistically makes most of the accusations false. For instance the freedom of speech only guarantees you freedom of persecution by the Government, and only the government. You can't say whatever you want to a private individual and not expect a backlash. You also can't make threats and false accusations. Those are superseded by the Justice System.

2) Socialism - Is a governmental system. Not economic. It has nothing to do with Free Trade or how a person can make money within their own country. Close to every modern nation in the world operates in a Socialist fashion today. Many people have begun to accuse the United States of becoming Socialist, but they are either ignorant of the meaning or denying the last century. The United States is a Socialist country already. In fact the Public Education system is one of the largest and most successful Socialist programs in the history of human civilization. Medicare is another example. Social Security is another one. Municipal road work. The Interstate System. The list goes on and on. Pretty much anything that the Government does for you with your tax dollars is Socialism. If you want to protest this; stop drinking your town water. Stop driving on paved roads. Plow your own Interstate. Teach your own kids K-12. Socialism is paying your Government in Taxes and in return they give you services that would cost you a lot more in private sale. Nazis and Soviets weren't Socialist. They called themselves this for Propaganda because it's a "caring system". They were in fact Totalitarian Fascist and Dictators. I'm not going to explain the meaning of the last two because if you can't understand that the US doesn't operate like that you can't understand the meaning's of these words.

3) Communism - This is purely an economic system. It has nothing to with the way the Government governs the people. Communism is a flawed system in that it relies all on trust of the Government. In Communism the totaled income of the country is divided evenly amount the Citizens. There are no social classes, no tax brackets, and property is distributed among the people not bought and sold by individuals. It's great in theory but no government seems to be able to handle the burden and trust needed to implement it. The Soviets butchered the system into punishing the people and reaping the benefits of the private sector's lost income. The United States will never be a Communist society. Financial regulations do not constitute communism. If pick pocketing wasn't a crime and the government suddenly enacted laws banning it would you cry Communism? No, the free trade system would still exists you would just have to change the way you made money. You couldn't steal it anymore.

There are a plethora of other issues sparking across the nation today. But most are to stupid to even address. Hatred is strong in the nation today and it's disgusting. If we did have a Black Muslim Socialist President what exactly is wrong with that? Ask yourself that. Pull the words apart.

Black = Skin Color
Muslim = Branch of Judaism just like Christianity
Socialist = Last 10 Presidents fit in that realm
President = Elected by the people.3 Terms that people throw around and don't know the meaning of: 1)... more
