On My Mind: Socialism, Socialism, and Socialism

WHEN YOU THINK OF SOCIALISM AND THE

DRASTIC IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH A SYSTEM
IF EVER IMPLEMENTED IN

THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

JUST REMEMBER THIS COMMERCIAL...

Jeopardy! Host Alex Trebek
for Colonial Penn Life Insurance

By now everyone living in America is probably familiar with

the commercials for Colonial Penn Life Insurance and their

pitchman, Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek explaining the details

to actors posing as inquiring customers seeking

an affordable life insurance policy.

Alex reminds them that when it comes to a quality

 plan they can afford, to just remember the three P's, 

"Price" "Price" and "Price".

This is a good rule of thumb, not just for buying life insurance,

but, when it comes to understanding the current push by the political Left

to surrender the freedom and national sovereignty of America

to the enslavement and tyranny of Socialism.

The current scheme to frighten the living daylights, particularly

out of our children and young people, about the continuous and

ominous threat emanating from "global warming" "climate change"

and the need for more "gun control legislation" to protect our

schools and communities is, like Obamacare, a big lie,
and part of a greater scheme to both destabilize and to
destroy the United States of America.

So, gentle readers, whenever you hear, in particular the words,
 "global warming" "climate change" and "gun control legislation"
being equated with the need for 'moral and social justice', or
  touted as the new "civil rights movement" of the 21st century,

 just remember the three S's: "Socialism" Socialism" and "Socialism".

THE  STORY OF THE CATTYWAMPUS  OR HOW

 ONE WISE TEACHER TAUGHT HIS STUDENTS

A LESSON THAT HOPEFULLY THEY WILL

REMEMBER FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES

Mr. M. was a seventh grade science teacher who was getting pretty

fired up over what he saw as an indifferent attitude in his students' study habits.

It seemed to him that even the kids who usually received straight A's in

his classroom were lacking the skills needed to draw their own conclusions

during times of discussion over certain subjects taught.

His poorer students were not even bothering to really pay attention

anymore and would pass the time to study in class by whispering and

passing notes to each other.

(Note: This story takes place before the era of cell phones)

One day, Mr. M. came into his classroom and told all his students

that this was the beginning of a very special week, as they would be studying

the habitat of a rare and unique creature called the Cattywampus.

He told the kids that all they had to do was listen to what he would

be teaching them about this prehistoric animal and write down notes to

remember what he told them.  Then, at the end of the week, he would allow

them to use those notes for an open book quiz.

Surprisingly, even his worst students were up for this challenge, figuring

it would be a way to improve their grades while the A students were eager

to keep an unblemished record of scoring the highest grades in the class.

All week long, Mr. M. gave them many details about the creature called

the Cattywampus, where it lived, what it ate, when it became extinct, etc.

Friday rolled around and everyone was eager to take his easy quiz 

just by using their notes for the answers.

At the end of the class period, Mr. M. collected all the papers and was

silently amazed that even his poorest students had finished their work before

the end of class.  He told the kids he would grade their work over the

weekend and hand back the quiz papers on Monday morning.

Well, Monday rolled around and all the kids came into class that

morning expectantly waiting as Mr. M passed out their graded quiz papers

to them.   Much to their complete shock, followed by groans of disapproval,

the entire class-from the straight A kids to the failing students- stared 

in disbelief at the big "F" in red pencil at the top of their quiz sheets.

" But Mr. M., I don't understand!" wailed a girl named Susan, one of the

straight Aer's in the classroom.   "You said we could take the quiz with

the information you told us to write down in our notebooks!  I
wrote down everything you said!  Why then did I fail this quiz?"

"That's just it, Susie,"  Mr. M. responded.  I did tell you that you

could use the information I gave you to take the quiz. All last week,

no matter what I told you and the rest of the class, you wrote down 

everything I said and yet not one of you questioned anything I told you.

Nor did any of you take the time to do any independent study on

what I was telling you, because if you had done so, you would have

quickly found out that there is no such thing as a cattywampus."

The moral of this story is not only to learn to think for yourself

but not to believe that everything you hear is the truth.
