Fear of Success

Rush Limbaugh, or some talk show commentator, the other day noted that the whole Leftist agenda in vogue in America right now is about downgrading success, and showing hatred for and contempt about successful people. How did such an un-American trend become popular? We must struggle mightily to change that. Mitt should have been a hero for his astounding success, an acclaimed and admired exemplar for millions of poor and middle class people, any of whom could do what Mitt did, with determination, luck, hard work, a plan and focused effort. Honestly earned success is morally desirable, and is good for everyone. Let acting like Mitt be the norm for a generation of anarchist/individuators. Obama's a soak-the-rich and class envy program are terrible for each individual and disastrous for America Republicans in Congress cannot become the majority party, sweep both houses and the Presidency until they quit being conservative half-way and just flatly tell the people the truth every time, vote their conscience and let the chips fall where they will. This does not mean they should come across as uncaring and selfish--they are not. This does not mean they should not reach out to all citizens, and remind them that they are individuals and Americans first, before they are members of some identity group and joiners. This does not mean they they do not welcome everyone into the tent--they must. They must be united and sincerely propose to balance the budget within 18 months. They must do it 80% through cuts and 20% through tax increases. No more kicking the can down the road. The safety net will be hurt and people will suffer, but now we must right the ship or the ship of America will sink totally. The slack in the social net must be picked up by states, the church, the community, the charities and the welfare dependents themselves. It will not be pretty or painless, but this dependency on federal largesse must end. We must go off that fiscal cliff. We must make the hard choices today. Blame the conservatives, fine, but they must show leadership and courage, now, forever, consistently. Small government, balanced books, strong national defense, cautiously interventionist and engaged foreign policy, living by constitutional principles, restricting the federal EPA apparatus threatening to destroy our economy, our way of life, our liberty and civilization which runs on cheap, plentiful, and available energy. The ambassador of United Nations must oppose all world treaties and protect our sovereignty to forestall the growth of gentle, creeping communism seeking to set up a one world government, which the Bolsheviks were not able to set up via aggression and scheming. The only program that the Ambassador to United Nations (And senators here at home domestically should be working to get a constitutional amendment passed to give individuals practicing individualism and individuating legal protection as a protected class, protected against active discrimination and lack of equal opportunity.) should back is to set up a worldwide treaty to promote protected class status for all individuals on the planet. There should be a treaty to promote and launch constitutional government for all nations, which authorizes the setting up millions of anarchist states for all 200 nations, and to add these political protections and sodalities to the constitutions governing each of the 200 nation states. Conservative must speak with one voice. They must reach out to all groups everywhere and fight person by person. Success is almost guaranteed for most or all people everywhere if they live in a country based on God, patriotism, free market solutions, small government, small institutions, local control, universal gun ownership and advanced training in being courageous fighters as part of a national militia of citizens. Where success is allowed to flourish, in a culture of freedom, tolerance and approval, without fear of governmental depriving people of their hard-earned wealth, the class of individuators getting it done will succeed. The nation will succeed as the indirect benefit to the community is that rising waters of success and prosperity will lift all boats.
