The Mao Faction

Have you noticed a trend at the Obama White House?

First, it was Van Jones who was the "Green jobs" person in the Obama adminsitration. Jones was forced to resign his position because of his political views. What was wrong with his views? Nothing if you are a Far Lefty who looks up to the figures from the Old Soviet Union and the Old China. Jones was a self described "communist"

Now it is Anita Dunn.

Dunn is a "Media" expert who advised the Obama campaign and now the Obama White House on media affairs. Specifically, she advised Obama and his team on how to avoid the media spotlight. She recently told high school seniors that she looked to two favorite "philosophers" for guidance. One of whom is Mao.

Yes. Mao.

The Mao of 40+ millions killed for political reasons. The Mao well known for abusing/using children for perverse reasons and who knows what else.

Wow.

How many other Mao/Pol Pot/Castro/Il worshippers are there closeted in the Obama Administration?

Change.

You asked for it.

Thanks to FOXNEWS for breaking news the other media refuse to touch because they are in the tank for Obama.

Obama's War

President Obama declared a state of war recently.

Was it against the threat of the Taliban in Afghanistan?

No.

Was it against the threat of a nuclear armed Iran?

No.

Was it against the sick nuts in North Korea?

No.

Was it a war against federal government waste, fraud, and abuse of taxpayers?

No.

Well, what was this new war our president declared.


It is a War against FOXNEWS.

That's right.

A War against a news organization which refuses to drink the KoolAid.

A War against dissent.

A War against open debate.

A War against differing viewpoints.

A War against American customs and traditions.

A War against free speech.

A War to silence those who oppose Obama's policies and ideas.

That is where we are today.

Dissent...

... is a good thing.

We were told that over and over during the 8 years of Bush 43.

It was great for people to criticize the president, we were told.

It was patriotic to oppose Bush we were told. Liberals and the Left encouraged all, even our military folks, to speak out against Bush's policies.

The highest form of patriotism was to disagree with Bush 43.

The people who opposed Bush were heroes, we were told.

What happened?

Dissent is now taboo.

People who oppose Obama's ideas and policies, such as they are, are considered evil trouble makers or Republicans (the lowest atom on the food chain in the Liberal/Left world view).

Folks who opposed the high jacking of our health care system by the DC gang from Chicago were called rioters, rabble rousers, and of course, racists for expressing their views at town hall meetings all over the country.

What happened?

How did we go from Dissent is wonderful at 11.59 AM on January 20, 2009 to Dissent is terrible and racist and unpatriotic at 12:01 PM on January 20, 2009?

What happened?

And how fast can you say "Double Dishonest Standard"?

The Health Care Struggle Continues

Health care is the latest battleground for control of our lives.

How will it end? How much control will the bureaucrats in DC gain over our lives.

Who will fight for the rights and responsibilities of millions of individuals?

And why is the power grab presented as "reform" of our health care system?

It is NOT reform! Not even close to being reform.

Chicago...

..lost the 2016 Olympics - voted out in the first round.

Why?

Chicago had the "O team" working for it. Mr Big "O", Mrs Big "O", and The "O" herself. According to Mrs "O" both she and the "O" sacrificed greatly to go to Denmark to win the Games for the city.

How did they lose in the first round?

How did the "O" Team lose so badly?

Perhaps it was the pressure from the "O" Team that turned off the selection committee.

Or could it be the growing lousy reputation of the city itself with its myriad problems: crime, corruption on a grand scale matching and even surpassing 3rd World corruption, the city's financial problems, a poor presentation, or a combination of everything.

My contact in Chicago tells me that more than half the city's people opposed the bid and they rejoiced in the early ouster of Chicago. These folks are wise. They knew they would be forced to pay up for the Games, to suffer higher taxes, and to endure eminent domain fights.

The only folks who stood to gain from the Games were the politically connected; the slums lords tied to the Daly machine and to Obama's election campaign and administration.

Yep, they thought they had found a way to make billions and pass millions off to the crooked politicians; local, state, and higher.

The Games go to Rio. Let them deal with their crooked politicians and save us from that ordeal.

We have enough rotten politicians to deal with here.

Obamacare

Obamacare

Or How are You feeling Today

A new president came into office with a sagging economy, rising unemployment, a financial crisis brought on in large part by federal government interference in the free (such as it is) market and the failure of federal agencies to regulate properly, a continuing War on Terror, and a host of other pressing problems. So what does the new president tackle?


Health care.

Say what?

Health care.

President Obama decided to concentrate his energy, time, and political capital on health care just as the Clintons focused on health care in the early 1990s.

Why?

Power.

Control.

Are two reasons Obama selected health care because health care is the fastest way for a socialist to take complete control of the American economy. This complete control is what the Clintons wanted and is what every socialist wants so people’s lives can be planned, organized, controlled, directed, and managed by a Big Brother government in Washington, D. C.

It is not reform and Obama has no plan for health care. Where is the plan he talks of in speeches? Senator Max Baucus just released a “plan” he developed over the past few weeks. It is not the Obama Plan for there is no Obama Plan. But any plan that empowers faceless bureaucrats in DC is one Obama will sign. Obama wants to extend the government’s nose farther into the health care tent in order to control people’s lives.

The federal government recently offered a “Cash for Clunkers” program to encourage folks to trade in old gas guzzlers for modern vehicles with higher CAFÉ standards. The feds spent $3 Billion in this effort to clean up the highways and stimulate the automobile economy. However, most dealers complain of no/late payments from the feds for the thousands of old cars they accepted and paid the buyers.

If the feds cannot operate a simple “Cash for Clunkers” program, why should we Americans expect the feds to run a health care system?

During the 2009 August Congressional recess millions of Americans expressed their opposition to the feds taking over health care. Surveys show that most people are happy with their health care coverage and want no changes to it. Many exercised their right of speech at town hall meetings and told their elected federal officials they wanted no federal government takeover of their health care system.

In turn these folks were criticized, called rioters, radical right wingers, extremists, organized by the Republican opposition. The media played from the Obama handbook and joined in the bashing of people freely speaking their minds .

In a few months we went from adoring a politician who cut his teeth on ACORN –a community organizer- to condemning folks for self organizing and expressing their views to their elected representatives.

Change! You asked for it!

To paraphrase PJ O’Rourke, if you think health care is expensive now, wait until it is free!
