Of Hezbocrats, Democrats, and Freedom

Yes, Hezbollah loves the Democrats because Democrats want to withdraw from Iraq and hand them a victory. And yes, they love the Democrats because they know the Democrats will never intervene in Iran to prevent illiterate, anti-Semitic, 7th Century, suicidal, fanatic, jihadists from playing with nuclear bombs. And yes, Hezbollah loves the Democrats because they know they will take a much softer line on their presence in Lebanon. And oh yes, they worship the Democrats because they know that in an effort to buy votes they will keep America's borders wide open so they can bring in WMDs whenever they want. But most importantly, Hezbollah loves the Democrats because they share a common belief in gov't; not in freedom from gov't.

Interestingly, most of the fisherman in Hezbollah controlled southern Lebanon are Christian. In recent elections they have mostly not voted. When asked, " why," they have mostly responded, "they won't do anything for us." And they are right. Hezbollah only does things for anti-Semitic Muslims who are willing to store Katusha rockets in their living rooms. The notion that govt is there exclusively to do things for people is purely Democratic. It is what has plagued the Middle East and mankind for eternity. The contrary Jeffersonian Republican view that gov't should exist only to guarantee or insure the natural state of freedom from gov't, is completely foreign to them, and seemingly beyond their intellect. Republicans reason that gov't can't really do anything for people since gov't doesn't have resources except those it steals disproportionately from its various subject constituencies. What it can do then, they reason, is merely take from one constituency and give to another, and thus automatically produce hostility, war, or other unwanted or unintended consequences.

So how could world peace ever be possible when the Democrats, Hezbollah, and Christian Lebanese fisherman legitimize the role of gov't only to the extent that it can "do" nice things for people at the expense of other people? If every group on earth looks to gov't to provide for it their specific needs at the expense of some other group, how is peace possible given that different groups will inevitably resist and ultimately make war over it? In short, Democratic gov't is a perfect formula for war. Thomas Jefferson founded America, specifically, to avoid Democrats. The often heard charge that Democrats are anti-American or unpatriotic is rooted in their disbelief regarding freedom.

In America the top 1% of income earners pay 20% of all Federal Taxes and yet Democrats always want to tax the rich more because there are fewer rich voters than poorer voters. In communist Russia people believed that the gov't could create a communist nirvana wherein the average man would enjoy great wealth when not exploited by the rich. In Nazi Germany people believed the gov't could rebuild a shattered economy and stand up to international enemies who had humiliated them. In Southern Lebanon Hezbollah supporters believe gov't can resist Israeli aggression even years after Israel has withdrawn from Lebanon. In Ancient Rome people believed that the gov't could provide them wealth by always conquering and enslaving more and more foreigners. In America, Democrats believed gov't welfare could help Blacks by stealing money from Whites. It made Whites angry and amounted to a near genocide against Blacks. The philosophical belief in gov't theft, as
