The Marxist States of America

I did not vote for Obama because I did not believe that he had any real experience to bring to the table. As a conservative, I was not entirely thrilled at the prospect of McCain as the only alternative either but sometimes you have to choose between the lesser of two evils. At least McCain showed some integrity in that he did what he said when it comes to campaign finances. He accepted public funding and was limited in what he had to spend on the campaign. On the other hand, Obama had agreed to take public funding but (perhaps as a harbinger of things to come) did exactly the opposite and instead privately raised over 800 million dollars during the campaign so that he could outspend the competition and effectively purchase the White House.

Obama is two faced. He talks about giving tax breaks to 95% of the middle class, yet his administration is now proposing to raise the gasoline tax by ten cents, and also add a miles driven tax. That's right, they are not going to rest until they wring every last dime that they can get out of you saps that willfully donate by living your lives as you normally do. Our freedoms are under attack by the radical agenda of the left and they are winning!

Obama's budget is astounding. In it is the death nell of capitalism. It will kill the real estate business which is already on life support because it removes the incentive to purchase with its well thought out class warfare idiom of removing the tax write off for home mortgage interest! Who will put any skin into the game when renting will give them more flexibility? There is no advantage to owning anymore with Obama's budget. He is a Marxist that is against everything American. His goal is to kill the American Dream of home ownership and he is off to a great start folks. And all his talk of reforming health care is an eminence front for taking more of your money and freedoms away from you! His idea of taking away the deduction for charitable contributions is not only a direct assault against organized religions, but against all charities that help fill in the gaps where politics has failed previously including, not for profit hospitals! Most of the major hospitals in this country operate as not for profit organizations. So they will suffer a huge loss in donations and will have to cut back on services, research projects, innovation, expansion and growth. Now I ask you, is that the "hope and change" that we can believe in? Is that the hope and change that we need? Is that real reform for health care?

Obama's brand of hope and change is to take our world leading medicine and choke it down to third "world status"! that's not the hope and change that I want! How about you? Welcome to Obamatopia, where the elderly and sick wait for the bureaucrats to dole out meager hope in measured doses as the politicians hope and pray that they die before they actually have to pay out for any semblance of care that would be rendered at a run down, outdated and dilapitatd hospital. You damned obamanoids deserve what your going to get because you were warned by loud voices on the right and still you installed this clown in office. Enjoy your crappy health care that costs everyone else more money than we can possibly afford.

Joe the plumber had it right folks; Obama's plan to "spread the wealth around" is like the little scroll that the apostle John was instructed to eat from the hand of the angel. It tasted sweet as honey in the mouth but sours the stomach once swallowed. Well we swallowed it damn it! We elected the most radical, leftist, Marxist Chicago thug of a politician to the highest office in the world. think I am kidding? Look at the ridiculous three ring circus that is Chicago politics with a deposed Governor of Illinois (a criminal who was big on ego and "pay for play") and his lackey, Roland Burris whom he appointed to fill Obama's vacant senate seat just before he got canned. And Obama's political career was incubated there. Do you honestly think that he is any different? He is as crooked as they come, and he is a Marxist. He is all about punishing success, and rewarding failure. He wants to keep all opposition as dependent upon the government (upon him) as possible because that is how despots hold onto power (witness Hugo Chavez)! Keeping them dependent assures his reelection for a second term.

First we had him handing off the writing of the "stimulus bill" to that kook Queen Nasty (Nancy) Pelosi who larded it up with all the pork she could cull from her leftist colleagues in the house that they were unable to get passed over the past 40 years, then Obama trumps that with his back breaking budget. It boggles the mind. How stupid is this guy? Raising taxes during a deep recession, removing the incentives to take risk and invest in business or our personal wealth building activities, talking all about doom and gloom for years to come is not the way to inspire confidence. Maybe Obama should take a lesson from Bush. Bush was a cheerleader. He was an eternal optimist. When he spoke, albeit fumbling with words often, but the substance of his message was clear and hopeful.

I hope that those Republican Governors do refuse to take any of that preposterous stimulus money. Obama is not a uniter, he is a divider. He is an ideologue that has no real world experience and it now shows. Mark Levin is absolutely right, this hack is out to destroy the capitalistic system of the free market. That is his goal because he is a Marxist. He wants to "rebuild" our union into the "Marxist States of America". He wants to "remake" our constitution into what suits his agenda. He wants to "reform" the best health care system in the world into a "third world" class operation where rationing of health care is the norm. He wants to "spread the wealth" by taking more from people who actually work, and giving it to those who are unwilling to work. He is a MARXIST!

Whiplash

Well, today Rush Limbaugh proposed a plan to resuscitate our ailing economy on his radio program that has broad appeal for both of the polarized political camps. It actually made a lot of sense to me. Although I covered that topic with greater detail in my recent post on January 24, 2009 which included specific examples of how to go about it, Rush's was a generality, but I liked the way that he presented it.

I am beginning to come to the view our new administration with more and more disdain with each passing day. Rush stated that Obama was running fast to the left as predicted. But it seems to me that Obama has donned a "jet-pack" and is flying there past all forms of reason. Let's see if I get this right; first we give billions to the automotive industry after publicly skewering the CEOs. Then today he publicly muses about granting 13 states waivers from EPA standards so that they can set their own standards. This would cost the industry a lot more to comply with a patchwork of standards than they were given earlier this month! So we give them money to stay afloat, then sabotage them with more intrusive regulations.

And how about the Gitmo edict. Giving the order to close Gitmo in a year before having a clue as to what to do with the prisoners. Appointing and ramming through confirmation hearings Timothy Geitner as the new Secretary of the Treasury even though he "forgot" to pay several thousands of dollars of his own personal taxes over a three year period!

It would appear to me that the liberal democrats are completely inebriated with their new found power. It is obvious that they do not know what they are doing.

Hold on to your hats and your wallets, it's going to be a wild ride to right this economy. The twists and turns we'll take long the way will include compromising our principles, abandoning ethics, and outright lawlessness (witness the whole Blagojevich fiasco).

Then there's the issue of corporate greed and vanity that was exemplified by the revelations this week about former Merrill Lynch CEO John Thain who blew over a million dollars redecorating his office and doling out massive bonuses to top brass (including himself, of course) before he was shown the door by Bank of America after BofA bought up Merrill Lynch. Of course Thain did all of this as they were being acquired by BofA and he did it with taxpayer money. Unbelievable; the unmitigated gall that Thain has. What a monumental ass.
