Where have all the real liberals gone?

In the tradition of Sukarno, Nehru and Nasser, Obama is an internationally favored celebrity who talks much better than he manages, and who destroys the domestic economy while pontificating on global advances of cosmic proportions. America is in dire need of leaders who understand capitalism. Even if many liberal goals are questionable, true liberals must still exist, right?

 

The business of America is business, and liberal goals will never be achieved by destroying capitalism, so I have to wonder where the principled liberals are hiding. Its clear that the right opposes Obama's progressive agenda, but where are the liberals? I don't believe that all liberals are progressives -- writers like Alan Wolfe, for instance.

Most modern liberals depend too much on the state to achieve their goals of public welfare, but many liberals still believe in the free enterprise system. Obama states he believes in the free market, but his actions, past statements and associations contradict this claim. And, aside from Obama, other progressives in power have made no secret about their disdain for capitalism.

 

In order to stop the war against capitalism, courageous liberals must step forward and join the alliance aimed at fighting against the progressive onslaught. Luckily, not much damage has been done so far, but if progressives have their way, capitalism will be completely savaged and replaced with state marketism -- much like has happened in European countries with mediocre economies which would collapse if these countries had to pay for their own defense and weren't propped up by our research, development, innovation and funding of the IMF and World Bank.

 

This brings up another point -- the world can't afford the destruction of capitalism in America. Perhaps there's some type of One World Order strategy where nations think they can bleed industries of the money necessary to bring about a global governance, but this is highly unlikely. Productive people aren't going to produce on demand -- production requires the freedom inherent in a capitalist system -- the lessons of Russia are still fresh, so it's amazing that liberals here in America can't see this.
