Tyrannical Regimes

From the WSJ: "So it is with China and with tyrannical regimes (such as Myanmar, Sudan, Darfur, Venezuela to name a few): The party is convinced it controls everything. But it is often unexpected events that reveal fault lines in the system, the hypocrisy of public discourse, and the almost unbearable injustices. Even as the people of Sichuan attempt to recover from this deadly quake, we learn that scores of children have died from an epidemic of hand, foot and mouth disease that has sickened 10's of thousands. All of this reminds us of panics of recent years provoked by the SARS virus, avian flu and the AIDS epidemic.

Epidemics and natural catastrophe's(or not-so-natural catastrophes,if the Three Gorge Dam should also crumble) are more serious threats to the Communist tyranny than democratic pamphlets disseminated on Web sites. The party has resolved to imprison dissidents. But in the face of viruses, popular beliefs and earthquakes, the parties stand naked." (From the book, "Empire of Lies: The Truth About China in the 21st Century; Sorman).

We have so many previously non-registered or even now not registered to vote citizens complaining about our country and how they hate it like Reverend Wright with his rant "God damn America" (many more might agree) if he had said "God damn some of the leadership of America, both black and white", that I continue to ask them to leave this country and go to places that are all in "harmony" like China, Mexico and Africa.

Why don't they leave? They are socialistic believers with "farts" coming out of the wrong end, irresponsible people looking for big brother to do it all for them. Most believe that the world owes them a living wage, jobs; qualified or not, free health care and same sex marriage, to name a few of their warped desires.

Why leave when they down deep know this is the best country in the world to live. They are unwittingly moving this country down the path to socialism and eventually a tyrannical government they will not like at all. Then it will be too late to leave for "utopia".
