An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before, but had once failed an entire class.  That class had insisted that Obama's socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer. 
  
The professor then said, "OK, we will have an experiment in this class on Obama's plan". 
All grades would be averaged and everyone would receive the same grade so no one would fail and no one would receive an A... 

After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B.  The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy.  As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little. 
 
The second test average was a D!  No one was happy. 

When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F. 
  
As the tests proceeded, the scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else. 

All failed, to their great surprise, and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed. 

Could not be any simpler than that. (Please pass this on) 

Remember, there is a test coming up.  The 2012  elections!

"You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence.
You cannot help people permanently by doing for
them, what they could and should do for themselves."

* Popularly attributed to Abraham Lincoln, but in reality these wise aphorisms were penned by a Rev. William J. H. Boetcker

Propaganda for Socialism

Organizing Kids for Obama: "President Barack Obama's budget has added more than $100 billion of federal taxpayers' money to what is called 'education.'.... Obama is using the public schools to recruit a private army of high-schoolers to 'build on the movement that elected President Obama by empowering students across the country to help us bring about our agenda.'...

     "The sign-up sheet for Organizing for America starts with this instruction: 'Organizing for America, the successor organization to Obama for America, is building on the movement that elected President Obama by empowering students across the country to help us bring about our agenda of change.'... The 10-page 'National Intern Organizer Curriculum' is very specific in describing the tactics that interns will be taught. It includes...: 'Using Story as an Organizing Tool, Building Relationships and Building Teams, Mobilizing to Win on the Issues (issue advocacy), Health Care Service Project.'...

      "After the students have been fully trained as Alinsky-style community organizers, they will be eligible for jobs in Senior Corps, AmeriCorps or Learn and Serve America. Those three so-called 'service' organizations, which annually dole out millions of dollars to left-wing groups, are overseen by the Corporation for National and Community Service.... These interns will be given an intensive nine-week training course using comprehensive lesson plans. Assigned readings include Saul Alinsky's notorious 'Rules for Radicals,' 'Stir It Up: Lessons From Community Organizing and Advocacy' by the left-wing activist Rinku Sen, and particular sections of 'Dreams From My Father' dealing with Obama's days as a community organizer in Chicago."

Kids to Meet Marx in School: "Children are uniquely malleable beings, readily convinced of magically colorful tales.... One need only look at the birth of fascism or socialism to see a recipe for how radical ideas become ubiquitous among a nation’s youth.... Enter Howard Zinn – an author, professor and American historian – who, with the help of Hollywood and the History Channel, intends to change the way our pre-K through high school children learn American history. His current curriculum suggestions, like introducing three-year-olds to the lynching of African-Americans, or quizzing seven-year-olds on which Presidents owned slaves, should be a red flag to parents.

      Zinn has spent a lifetime teaching college students about the evils of capitalism, the promise of Marxism, and his version of American history.... Perhaps due to their one-sided perspective of America’s past, Zinn’s history books have largely been limited to colleges and universities, until now....” See From Marx to Lenin, Gramsci & Alinsky
