When I realized that socialism was destroying our nation, I was curious how other destructive actions were handled and how people went about fixing these problems before it was too late. Then it hit me. Our nation’s left needs a 12 step program. So below is my small part towards ensuring socialism doesn’t take over our great nation. It is modelled after the Alcoholics Anonymous 12 step program.
1. We admitted we were powerless over Socialism–that our lives had become unmanageable.
To admit that there are many factors that drew you to Socialism and to realize that it wasn’t your fault is something that must be accepted. Socialism is a devious and attractive thing. Few humans can resist the temptation to give all we have to a cause that shows starving children, bloodies harp seals, battered wives etc. over and over again. We are only human and our heartstrings can easily be pulled by this monster.
2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
There is a greater power that can bring sanity back to the confused socialist. This greater power is called Logic. Logic is something that is exhibited by conservative minded people who do not simply WANT the world to be a better place, but they actually can use Logic to help MAKE it a better place. The road to Socialism is paved with good intentions.
3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of Logic, as we understood it.
Once you succumb to Logic and let it guide you, your actions will steer you away from socialism and towards a more sensible way of life.
4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
This is a tough one. We need to really look beyond the socialist traps like universal daycare, and universal healthcare, and realize that many socialist programs that are called “universal” are not truly universal. They are usually make work programs which is the socialist way of redistributing wealth. Tax the hard working citizens that are PRODUCTIVE TO THE NATION and redistribute that wealth to agencies and organizations that hire people who are unwilling to be “productive”. These agencies are leeches. They tear down the urge of “productive” people to make a better living. As more agencies form and the productive people hit their limits, the tax rate must rise to help redistribute the wealth. Eventually the tax rate will hit a critical point we call 100%. This is where a nation reaches pure communism. (A nirvana for Socialists).
5. Admitted to Logic, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
This is not hard. You can go join the local Conservative party EDA and just tell the person you speak to that you were a socialist but that you want to correct the error of your ways and join the party. They can help you.
6. We’re entirely ready to have Logic remove all these defects of character.
This one is easy. Once Logic comes into our lives, the defects of character which rear their ugly heads due to Socialism tend to whither by the roadside.
7. Humbly asked Logic to remove our shortcomings.
If Logic doesn’ answer your request, you can always find an island of sanity with the Lowell Green show on CFRA.com (Monday to Friday 9am to noon), or you can try Jeff Allen on 570news.com .
8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.
The list starts with stay at home moms. It includes every Canadian working for a private corporation. It includes everyone who has waited over a month for an MRI. It includes countless people who have had chiropractic or physiotherapy aid cut. It includes every child who has had mom, dad, grandma, a neighbour, etc watch them during the day. It includes every Canadian who has suffered wrongly at the hand of any criminal who is reoffending due to a lax criminal justice system. The list goes on and on and on.
9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
Where to start? The list from number 8 is a good place. Warning, this one may take awhile.
10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.
Again, Logic can help guide the socialist in this regard.
11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with Logic, as we understood It, praying only for knowledge of Its’ will for us and the power to carry that out.
We are starting to realize self-actualization by this point. It isn’t hard. Just believe that you can reach for and accomplish more than to work in a socialist job that provides minimal help while getting paid by tax dollars.
12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to other socialists, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.
