A World Apart

YOUNG AMERICA, an organization founded by followers of President Ronald Reagan -- now considered among America's 5 Greatest Presidents -- is doing everything it can to stop the Far Left liberals from turning America's Freedom & Liberty into a European Socialist Society controlled by a strong Central Government in Washington, D.C.

Bye-Bye capitalism and conservatism and welcome Barack Obama's liberal Marxist Socialism.

President Obama  and the Left understood the benefits or reaching out to young people, and he reaped those benefits for his cause.

Now, we're seeing more indications that greater numbers of young people are becoming interested in his socialistic agenda, which includes Marxism:" The redistribution of income,"or, as Obama says, "Share the Wealth!"

This presents a tremendous problem for the long-term future of our country, because Obama and his liberal accomplices are trying to deceive younger generations, according to Ron Robinson, president of Young America's Foundation.

With the Left promoting their socialistic ideology at a frenzied pace, Young America needs all the support it can get from conservatives and independents, who make up more than 50 percent of the voting population.

Young America's Foundation is reaching out to those who share their values, ideas and philosophy, which will be heard, promoted and championed and fought for by young people.

Young America has student activists on more than 2,000 campuses ready to fight for conservative ideas and ready to attend summer conferences, including its National Conservative Student Conference and National  High School Leadership Conference in Washington, D.C.

They are 37 percent of young Americans who still love and believe in America, our free enterprise system, and America's traditional values.

But these young Americans won't be able to do anything about their impressionable peers, unless they are trained and equipped to defend their ideas.

Young America is between "a rock and hard place." America, during the 20th Century, has been transformed into a liberal, socialist society, beginning with liberal Democrat Franklin Roosevelt's "New Deal," which really was a "Raw Deal" for taxpayers and voters.

Today, we have a leftist government committed to a "Tax-and-Spend Agenda" that's bankrupting this once prosperous economic society.

In  his first 100 days as President, Obama committed the federal government to borrowing more than 12 trillion dollars, imposing an annual interest rate of one trillion dollars a year.

Is it any wonder foreign countries will no longer invest in America?

Obama's real mission is to turn America into an Islamic Nation. His father was an African Arab Muslim. That's his blood roots.

I simply don't trust this guy, who is a product of the most corrupt city in America: Chicago.

I still can't believe this guy is sitting in the Oval Office as the "Leader of the Free World."

It's frightening for not just America, but other countries still not under the heavy hand of liberal Marxism.

Young America wants to teach today's youthful generation how to advance a freedom philosophy to large audiences -- one of the reasons I'm writing this column because I am an Independent, fiscal Conservative who votes as a Libertarian.

Honestly, I no longer trust our country's 2-party system.

I can no longer differentiate a Conservative from a Liberal, or a Republican from a Democrat.

To me, they are starting to look like a "One Party System."

President George W. Bush certainly was not a conservative Republican. He behaved more like a liberal "Tax-and-Spend" loser.

The one leadership quality I admired was Bush's ability to keep America safe for 8 years, following the first terrorist attack on America on the World Trade Center Towers and the Pentagon on the outskirts of Washington, D.C.,  and a commercial  airplane that crashed in a Pennsylvania field.

Some 3,000 people were killed by these Islamic terrorists.

Most Americans seem to have a short memory. We are now vulnerable and could be attacked again, according to Obama's Vice President, Joe Biden, a former Delaware U.S. Senator.

So much for liberal "leadership" in the White House.

I grew up in the 1940s and '50s. It was a different world then. It took two atomic bombs to end World War II.

Today, America is no longer safe from a deteriorating world. We would never use the atom bomb in a war. It would ignite a global nuclear catastrophe.

As Pogo the famous cartoon character observed many decades ago,"We've met the enemy -- and they's us."

And, once again, "God Bless America" (and the rest of the world).
