Jealousy and Socialism

I was reading a blog today and all of a sudden it dawned on me what I see as the root of socialism. "Jealousy" What else could it be? I mean after all, aren't these socialists the very ones who have said that dodge ball and tag and keeping score are evil? Why could they possibly be evil? The only logical answer is jealously. They have winners and losers and losers are jealous of winners. So if they can not win in the game of life they lobby and legislate away winning because they can't win or won't work hard enough to win without changing the rules. The problem is this country has gotten to it's greatness by creating winners. Winners are what it takes to succeed and prosper. Losers have to get up, dust themselves off and learn to be winners, not cheat by changing the rules so there are no losers, because what they won't admit is when there are no losers, there are no winners. Take away the winners and there is no more USA. They want to take away from those who do and give to those who don't. They never make a logical argument, only an emotional one. So if jealousy is a factor then it only makes sense that eliminating losers makes them feel better. It takes very low self esteam to live life that way. I wouldn't know about jealousy because I am not that kind of person. If someone else has something I would like to have then I just tell myself that I either do without or "earn it". I decided in my early 20's that I would never be jealous again when I had lost what at that time was the love of my life and the person I thought I would spend eternity with because I was a jealous person. The classic behavior of a Jealous person is to destroy what others have and they don't. I wanted to destroy the car of the person she left me for, I also wanted to destroy her car and her life as she had destroyed mine when she left, I never did but I laid awake at night trying to figure out how to do so without getting caught. I destroyed the emotions of others by loving and leaving them. I was on a path of destruction all because of jealousy. Then it hit me, what was I doing? It was against everything I stood for. It was at that moment that I made the decision to never use the emotion of jealousy be the reason for what I thought or did ever again. I saw it as being very weak and I could not stand weakness for without reason. Jealousy was not a reason. It was at that moment that I became a complete conservative. One who accepted responsibility for MY actions and despised those who blamed others. If some one ripped me off, which has happened often I blamed myself for not being prepared and seeing it coming. I began to despise paying for the mistakes of others which I also did often. Much like I and every working and productive citizen of this country does today. But this despising is also an emotion much like jealousy, but it is different now because I take action on that emotion in the form of seeing an opportunity to speak of this in a constructive way that will almost shame those who don't accept responsibility into doing so. It is not easy and it doesn't happen over night but I plant seeds and hope they grow. That seed is conservatism. It has wilted over the years, at least compared to the socialist voice. It is time to no longer put up with this worthless, belittling, destructive emotion and empower these people with knowledge and strength so jealousy doesn't rear its ugly head and destroy our country. The rest of the world is jealous of the USA and our own citizens are jealous of each other via class warfare and it has to end....
