A preview of thing to come

I warn you - this is a rather long post - but do yourself a favor and stick around to read it.

I am posting a copy of an interesting letter. It was written by a trucker who lives in Canada. He was born and raised in his early life in Poland. He spends a lot of time driving in the US. The letter was written to a Radio Show (Quinn and Rose www.warroom.com.)

Now - you may think some of what he observes about the oppresion in his homeland is NOT possible here. While I admit that it seems quite remote - the overall message is one I think we should heed. When you hear 'Social Justice' - think Socialism. This drive we are seeing for the 'gov-ment' to take care of increasing more of our 'needs' is a caustic, damaging, and ultimately deadly trend. It strips people of honor, dignity, motivation, and self worth. Follows is his letter...

I was born in Poland, in mid 70's. I spent first 16 years of my life living in what O'Bama calls "social justice", I have to tell you that he makes my skin crawl. The things he speaks of I have heard before, only difference was it was said in Polish back in the early 80's. That version of "social justice" included secret police raids on "dissidents" who dared to speak out against the system, soldiers in the streets of my home town, Marshall law was declared and everybody caught in the street after dark without proper authorization was taken immediately to jail.

I remember officials from the ruling party on TV every-night telling us that everything was fine and it was all the fault of Western Capitalists who were oppressing us. I remember lineups at stores for everything from a loaf of bread to a washing machine. I remember that we were told that the Socialist system was the best on Earth, and our dear friends in Moscow were coming to our aid and that the conditions we lived under were only temporary.

Under "social justice" everybody was equal, only some of my countrymen were more equal than others. Party officials had special passes to government stores where shelves were full of western European products. They had all the gasoline they wanted while the rest of the country had to do with rations (that is if they were lucky enough to be able to buy a car). Everything from bread to gasoline was rationed and I remember that my father traded 4 bottles of home made moonshine for a box of chocolate so that we could have that for Christmas. I also remember care packages our church received from time to time. If it wasn't for rice from Arkansas we wouldn't have anything to eat. The only reason the food actually got to the people is because it was distributed through the churches, and the ruling class knew that if they would mess with the church they would have a revolution on their hands. Things were so bad that at one point we couldn't buy clothes and had to rely on clothes from care packages send from America.

Yes Sir I can honestly say I have had all of the "social justice" I can stomach. I live in Canada now, my father was lucky enough to escape in mid 80's and brought our entire family to Canada in 1992. In many ways it was just trading one "social justice" for another seeing that Canadian system is very "socially" oriented. I live in Ontario now which I sometimes like to call "Michigan Light" and being a long distance truck driver I spend most of my working time in USA. I must admit that I can't believe my ears when I hear these people speak so badly about their own country.

I suppose they do not realize that the "social justice" they are so vocal in advocating is simply another name for Socialism. They must be insane to think that the government will better their lives. I know what unchecked government can and will do to its people and I would rather die then go back to the system I was born under. When I was young every kid's dream was to immigrate to America. People born in America are the luckiest people in the world. They have freedoms that we were only dreaming about when I was growing up. If they lived under that version of "social justice" every single one of them from ACLU to Code Pink would be locked up, tortured and then quietly executed as "enemy of the state".

When I hear Democrats speak about "fixing" education and health care, I must admit my skin crawls. I live under socialized health care and I gotta tell you first thing to go is the health care. If you want a perfect example of that, look at Ontario. After years and years of Liberal government we are closing hospitals and have a severe shortage of doctors and nurses. People are dying waiting for MRI, and vital surgery. I broke my leg couple of years back and it took me 8 hours to see emergency room doctor, he looked at my x-rays and sent me off to get a cast. I waited 8 hours for a 5 minute consultation and 20 minute procedure to put a cast on my leg. Few years back we had a situation in one of Toronto's hospitals when a SWAT team shot a father who was trying to get the doctors to take a look at his baby son. Apparently he waited so long that the child was getting worse and worse so he left the child with his wife and went home to get an air pistol (yes sir an Air Pistol that shoots BB's) came back to the hospital and threatened some doctors with it. The SWAT team was called in and the man was shot dead right there in the hospital. His son died soon after because it took the doctors too long to get around to him. Universal Health Care, free health care for everybody. I don’t remember the details exactly, but I think that the only consequence of that was that some bureaucrat lost his job. But, hey, its free, right?

This is the world that BHO wants to create - the the Euro-weenies want for us.... This would NOT be an America of which I would be proud.
