Communism - Coming to a house near you!

I am dumbfounded. President Obama sends out his first political email and guess what it's for? Organizing "House Meetings" to discuss the Porkapalooza plan. He isn't even TRYING to hide the communist overtures with this one!

For those that don't know, a "House Meeting" is a term used to describe organizational meetings and was the building block for the farmworker movement (UFW). They used house meetings to strong arm the union in, at to organize boycotts. This is a socialist term at the least, and to be honest, it's heavy on the communist innuendo.

Next up will be block captains. This is how governments get undermined - "grassroots" is one thing, having citizens rise up and declare policy over the elected officials is another.

I wish I had some quip comment to make here, but I just don't. I'm gobsmacked. We should not take this lightly, folks. Happy Monday.

Another Campaign Promise Flushed

At this pace, I am beginning to think my new unicorn won't be delivered after all!

It seems reality is biting Obama right in the arse. His very naive plan to tax windfall profits from oil companies (and then giving a $1000 energy credit to all us schmucks) has gone down the drain. Guess no one on Camp Obama's dream team thought about the volatility of the oil market and with a *gasp* drop in price, those windfall profits are not all that profitable. Those 5 million green jobs to be created also as a result of taxing evil oil companies? Goners. Seems the market took care of the problem, as what normally happens should it be allowed to do it's thing. Ain't economics a b*tch, most especially when those who control oil production (OPEC) really don't have an interest in curtailing their output.

And about that tax the rich stuff? Not so much. It appears Camp Obama will go ahead and let the Bush tax cuts expire in 2010 which means ALL of us get a tax increase. (Wait for the scream: Oh that's not fair! That's not a tax increase! Really? If this year you pay x in taxes, and next year you pay x+5, that is a tax INCREASE, even if you did go to public school). Bush's goofy bail out bonanza is not going to help matters either. The One must now figure out how to pay that mess back AND fund his crazazy socialist policies. This means GREAT BIG tax increases on ALL of us - or more broken promises.

Speaking of Obama's promises to save the world, it seems a good time to recap the promises that have thus far been thrown under the Hope and Change Tour Bus:

1. Lobbyists and special interests have no part in an Obama administration - well, except maybe these guys.

2. Missile defense CUT - or not.

3. Gitmo must go! Just kidding!

4. No torture! Well, maybe just SOME torture.

5. Those who tortured MUST BE INVESTIGATED - or not



Hope and change, baby, hope and change!

From the Office of the President Elect - More News of the Scary

Valerie Jarret, Camp Obama Transition Team co-chair says Barry will be ready to "rule" from day one. Rule? RULE?!? President's don't RULE, they govern. Or at least they did.

I am now officially finished with the historic part of this election. Done. I don't want to hear any more "He's a good man". That means you, McCain. He isn't a "good man" he is a "good for all" guy. Not the same thing.

Tomorrow marks one week, so far I've seen nothing indicating a "change" that would equate to unifying this country. I've seen the website change.gov g from a list of 25 action items (including one citing mandatory civil service) to one very scrubbed, very lame paragraph. I've seen names bandied about as potential cabinet members that should make every one's skin crawl (Gorelick for AG? Good grief!). The "rulerette" up there is being put forward as a candidate for Barry's replacement in the Senate, despite having never served a day in public office. She was, however, chairman of the University of Chicago Medical Center and is currently CEO of The Habitat Company. This, of course, makes her more qualified than The One to be President, but not a Senator. Kind of reminds me of a certain President who attempted to put his loyal friend on the Supreme Court despite it being a colossally stupid idea...who could that have been? Will Obama worshipers point out this is glaringly ridiculous as we did to Bush?

Speaking of President Bush, what gives oh liberal ones? You told me, nay SWORE, fascism was inevitable under his regime. You promised thousands would be rounded up from libraries near and far for reading the wrong material and sent directly to Gitmo. You told me people who dared question Chimpy McBushhitler would suffer, disappear even. Yet Air America died its own painful death, Oliver Stone created a craptastic movie and still lives to make another one, countless I Hate Bush blogs still exist (though I don't know what is going to happen now), and remember Blackwater (cue ominous music)? Guess who used this very outfit for security in Afghanistan? Yes, Barry O.

So what now? I fear much of what the Libs predicted just might come true - only Chimpy won't be the catalyst. Being dramatic, you think? Why don't we ask Joe the Plumber. Anyone want to take bets on what happens to the Obama supporter/government worker who ordered the pulling of records? Suppose the same fate that befell Ken Lay or Scooter Libby will be discussed? Me either.

I am going to be pointing out all the idiot things Obama and his band of Thugs do over the next three months as I am doubtful dissent will be tolerated by The Ruler past this time.

Marxist Redistribution - Legislative or Judicial decision

Which one shall it be? Our friendly Marxist must decide! BTW, this was in 2001. (h/t capitalist piglet).

Please pay special attention - Senator Obama states the Warren court wasn't that radical because it "didn't break down constraints of the Constitution as laid down by the Founding Fathers".

For reference:

Marxism -

The political and economic philosophy of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in which the concept of class struggle plays a central role in understanding society's allegedly inevitable development from bourgeois oppression under capitalism to a socialist and ultimately classless society.

Socialism -

1. Any of various theories or systems of social organization in which the means of producing and distributing goods is owned collectively or by a centralized government that often plans and controls the economy.
2. The stage in Marxist-Leninist theory intermediate between capitalism and communism, in which collective ownership of the economy under the dictatorship of the proletariat has not yet been successfully achieved.

'Socialist' is a Code Word for Black

This is the stupidest election ever.

Shame on McCain and Palin for using an old code word for black

By Lewis Diuguid, Kansas City Star Editorial Page columnist

The "socialist" label that Sen. John McCain and his GOP presidential running mate Sarah Palin are trying to attach to Sen. Barack Obama actually has long and very ugly historical roots.

J. Edgar Hoover, director of the FBI from 1924 to 1972, used the term liberally to describe African Americans who spent their lives fighting for equality...

McCain and Palin have simply reached back in history to use an old code word for black. It set whites apart from those deemed unAmerican and those who could not be trusted during the communism scare.

Shame on McCain and Palin.
