Social Security Blog War

Several of you have asked me to collect and publish the recent Social Security Blog War links. Here they are. Feel free to choose your battleground and flail away at each other. Let no quarter be given. The last man (or woman) standing wins. WTF he or she wins remains to be seen. You already know which side of this Vilmar and I come down on. We both would prefer to manage our retirement ourselves. The Social Security boondoggle is nothing less than a very expensive lottery ticket and in order to win you have to (a) survive everything the world can throw at you for 65 years and (b) pray the government doesn’t change the rules at the last minute. Thanks to heart disease, cancer, terrorists, obesity, auto accidents, usafe drugs, pollution, global warming, genetics, etc. .... you have a better chance of Ed McMahon showing up at your door tomorrow with that check from Publishers Clearing House.

I’ll post a link to this on the right sidebar and will try to keep it updated with new post links and comment counts as best I can. If any of you have reference links you want to add to this, send them to me or Vilmar and we will add them at the bottom of this post.

OK, troops .... fire when ready .... and remember ....

Democrat, Thy Name Is Hypocrite ! Date: (02/04/05) Comments: (4)

Excerpt: Democrats who booed President Bush Wednesday night were also booing Franklin D. Roosevelt .... Franklin Roosevelt, the same man whom Bush quoted as saying that “each age is a dream that is dying, or one coming to birth”; the same man who gave birth to Social Security in the midst of…

Excerpt: OK, you asked for it and now you’re going to get it. The battlefield is here.

The Democratic Mantra Date: (02/04/05) Comments: (1)

Excerpt: Not a day goes by that the Democraps moan and groan about how bad the economy is.  Yet in the same breath they will tell you noting is wrong with Social Security (I wonder where they were in the 90s when Clinton was saying SS was doomed?  HMMMMM?) Anyway, it should…

Social Security For The Logic and Fact Challenged Date: (02/03/05) Comments: (8)

Excerpt: For those who can not understand the concept of why people should be given the option of getting out of the Ponzi scheme called sociali security, Mrs. duToit tries to explain why we want out and she uses pictures! Hopefully, now even the socialist nanny-state lefties incapable of grasping simple written…

You Know What’s Disgusting? Date: (02/03/05) Comments: (110)

Excerpt: The behavior of Democrats last night at the SOTU speech where they erupted into cries of “NO!” when the President mentioned overhauling the Ponzi scheme also known as Social Security.  I understand that it was unprecedented. NPR, of course, loved it!  The leftist America-haters loved it.  The Democraps loved it.  And…

Going Too Far Date: (02/03/05) Comments: (3)

Excerpt: If you ever wonder why Social Security is going broke or Medicare is going broke, you need only read something like this.

Why Social Security Reform Will Fail Date: (01/24/05) Comments: (8)

Excerpt: Why Social Security Reform Will Fail Unless there is a concerted effort to undo decades of government brainwashing by campaigning to convince people their future belongs to them, any effort to privatize social security is doomed to failure. We can start with a VERY short letter to all our congress-critters:  “I…

A $1000 Financial Class For Free Date: (01/20/05) Comments: (12)

Excerpt: Unless you’ve been living in a cave or refuse to acknowledge it, social security is big news right now. We’ve had quite a spirited discussion on this blog about it and even trapped us a moonbat in the process. Socialists and their fawning butt-boys, the media and AARP, are dead set…

More On Social Security Date: (01/20/05) Comments: (2)

Excerpt: If you think we pay too much for taxes and social security, read this article on the trials and tribulations the socialists in Germany are going through. It’s finally dawned on them that they MUST change their welfare system, unemployment compensation system and social security system. After all, when one of…

What Needs To Happen To Social Security Date: (01/18/05) Comments: (78)

Excerpt: This is a very complex issue but one the overhaul of which every American needs to consider.  It just can not continue to operate the way it does. For the purists who will not tolerate talk of privatization, you have to think about this:  there are fewer and fewer people working…

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
