Paving The Road To Hell On WEEI

Sorry, for the delay - I've spent the last couple of days shopping for the firearms, magazines and ammunition that the Democrats are soon going to take out of the hands of law-abiding American citizens so that Mexican drug lords will play nice with each other.

Iggy was pretty silent on Friday, being repeatedly told to shut up whenever he began to pipe up, but lord did Boston's own Al Sharpton, Everett from Brighton, ever put in a pinch-hit performance. We all know what an arrogant, divisive race-baiter Everett is, but you may as well also add fool to his resume when he begins his rant with "Iggy, don't stop talking because you make a lot more sense than people give you credit."

Everett first tried to establish that we need to want and allow Obama a chance to succeed in his attempts to remake America in his image because he has the best off intentions. He asked John and Gerry several times, if they believed that Obama's intentions were good. Each time, John or Gerry told him that the answer to that question was in the eye of the beholder. For a brain-dead lemming like Iggy, or course the answer is yes. To a patriotic American like me who believes in freedom, personal responsibility and the Constitution, the answer is of course, unequivocally, no.

What the hell do intentions have to do with anything? Liberals have had the best of intentions for decades, yet that hasn't changed the fact that nothing they advocate is right, let alone actually works. Hitler's followers thought that his intentions were good too, and they were - for the goose-stepping, fanatical morons who believed in him and what he preached. How did things work out for the rest of the world, eh Everett? Then, as with Obama and his sheople today, the old axiom that the road to hell is paved with good intentions never applied more.

Unable to coerce John or Gerry into giving him the answer of "yes" that he seemed to need so badly, Everett next said something even crazier - I know, hard to believe. He actually said that not only does Obama not want socialism, he actually wants more capitalism - well at least for some people, that is. According to Everett, these would be the people who have never had capitalist opportunities, or have never had those opportunities "presented to them".

Where to begin? Everett, more than ever, in this Internet age, opportunities abound for anyone who has a good idea that will succeed in the marketplace. Everyone has the opportunity to come up with the next Google, or MySpace or YouTube. Anyone with a product or service can advertise, market and conduct commerce around the world. That is all anyone can ask for; guaranteed opportunity - not guaranteed success.

Opportunity is a fruit tree from which anyone can pluck a piece of fruit and get either a perfectly sweetened and ripe treat, or a worm-ridden, rotten piece of mush. The opportunity is there for all to reach up and grab that fruit - not to have it "presented to them" like a gift. This is especially true since Obama's giving capitalist opportunities to "people who have never had them", as Everett claims, would entail taking them away from someone else. Guess what Everett? That's called socialism.
