Barack Obama, Nazi Pelosi and Harry Reid have realized that timidity bears no fruit. Ramming their ’socialist’ healthcare agenda through Congress was a confidence-builder. Emboldened, they will now forge ahead with illegal alien amnesty, opening our southern border, cap-and-trade, investment regulation and dozens of other job-killing, economy-busting schemes to destroy our nation and its economy before the November 2010 elections. These people hate America with an intensity that will take your breath away. They don’t want to ‘change’ it for the better. No, they want to completely destroy our country and from the wreckage create some kind of political system that ensures their unquestioned and unrivaled hold on power. Democrats want to make themselves voter-proof.

Unfortunately, more than half the country is squarely behind them, thinking they’ll somehow benefit from this state of affairs. From General Electric to welfare recipients, those who depend on the federal and state governments for their livelihood think the party’s only beginning. They’re wrong. The government will protect its own and a few favored groups and individuals. The rest will starve. The dopes who voted for Obama and the Democrats will find that they were just cannon fodder, used to achieve an end that didn’t include them. Even the politicians who threw in their fortunes with Obama, Pelosi and Reid don’t fully realize that they, too can be be purged. Ask Congressman Massa.

The momentum of legislation and executive orders will build, as more and more extreme bills and measures are introduced and rammed through the system. Obama still leads any potential 2012 Republican challenger by a wide margin. He is the champion of parasites and enjoys their unwavering support. By promising them them a socialist nirvana, he has sufficient political capital and Congressional support to pass just about anything that his handlers can dream up. George Soros is exerting his influence, as well. What this creature and the one occupying the White House have in mind is anyone’s guess. But, it won’t be pleasant.

Senator Chris Dodd (D-CT) receives almost all of his campaign contributions from donors outside his native Connecticut. Michigan’s laughable excuse for a governor, Jennifer Granhom, received the maximum allowable contributions for her last reelection campaign from notables such has Madonna, who originally hailed from Bay City, Michigan, but now resides in England. Granholm, a Democrat, also received the maximum contribution from Ed Begley, Jr., a California resident who likely has never set foot in Michigan. Charlie Rangel, (D-NY) regularly accepts money from Hollywood types, even though he represents a congressional district in New York City that’s largely black and poor. Races for governor and secretary of state in all 50 states are flooded with money from the East and Left coasts. Congressional seats are funded with union dues from a national pool of money.  The vote of every congressman and senator is a hotly contested commodity to a well-financed and nationally integrated leftist movement. There are no ‘local’ races any more and they haven’t existed since the 1960s when the Left made its bid for national power.

A key strategy for Democrats and their leftist leaders has been to nab the secretary of state position in each of the 50 states. This is an extremely important position because secretaries of state certify elections, decide whether nor not recounts are undertaken, and whether or not investigations into voter fraud or election irregularities are necessary. As evidenced in gubernatorial elections manipulated or stolen by Democrats in Oregon and Washington recently, the secretary of state plays a key role in determining the outcome of an election. The Democratic Party and its union allies have spent untold millions to ensure that most secretaries of state are Democrats, placing Republican candidates for local, state and federal office at great peril. The mainstream media, of course, don’t bother to report this troubling development.

There are no laws that prohibit leftists from California to fully fund the congressional aspirations of leftist candidates in Virginia except for the individual campaign contribution limits. But, given the success of ‘bundlers’ who contribute hundreds of thousands under questionable circumstances to Democratic candidates, the current campaign finance laws leave huge loopholes open to abuse. The McCain-Feingold Act is a joke, perpetrated by two of the most cynical and self-serving members of the Senate: John McCain (a Republican in name only) and Feingold, a left-leaning Democrat. This piece of legislative garbage all but assured that incumbents would enjoy an overwhelming advantage over their challengers, while at the same time silencing critics of the incumbent officeholder. It may as well have been crafted by two Democrats.

Further, the McCain-Feingold Act doesn’t prohibit lobbyists for government-sponsored organizations such as Fanny Mae or Freddy Mac from contributing to the campaigns of Barney Frank or Chris Dodd, both implicated in the mortgage meltdown that triggered the greatest economic decline in the US economy since the Great Depression. Conflicts of interest and outright corruption riddle the election process, but the mainstream media keep this from the American public.

Organizations like A.C.O.R.N., funded with tax dollars, and unions like the SEIU and the UAW, funded with member dues, add another layer of fraud and intimidation to the election process. Both entities are national in scope, with incredible reach and enormous resources. There are no opposing organizations or funding mechanisms on the side of conservatives. In fact, the country can rely only on the fragmented, amateurish attempts of grass-roots movements like the tea-party and tax protesters to mount any kind of response to the well-financed, nationally-coordinated efforts of the Left.

So, what’s the solution? It’s critical that local candidates for office and their supporters find out who is financing the election of their Democratic opponents. For example, in Michigan, the 2008 congressional race for the 13th district was financed unknowingly by Michigan taxpayers. The Democratic candidate, Gary Peters, was appointed to a faculty position at Michigan State University through the efforts of governer Jennifer Granholm. Peters spent very little time at the university while he collected a nice taxpayer-funded salary during a two-year campaign against Republican Joe Knollenberg, who was busy in Washington fending off the Democratic majority in Congress. During this time, Knollenberg endured a signficant personal financial crisis, but didn’t even advise his own staff. In the end, supported by teacher and labor unions, and free to compaign 24/7, Peters cruised to a narrow victory over Knollenberg and promptly aligned himself with the most radical and leftist elements of the Democratic Party, per the guidance and wishes of his mentor, governor Jennifer Granholm.

This is taking place across the country. Secretaries of state are certifying elections they know to be flawed, local candidates are being outspent by Democrats funded by outstate donors, and Democratic politicians are providing state jobs for their favored candidates so that they don’t suffer any economic consequences when running against their Republican rivals. Ths is corruption at its most extreme. It makes Democrats voterproof and ultimately impervious to accountability. It smells like the Soviet Union.

The mainstream media tried to hide it. The political pundits on the left and center talked around it. The lobbyists spun it. Joe Wilson was pilloried to create a diversion for it. But, there was no getting around this simple fact - President Obama hardened his stance on nationalizing healthcare and the ‘public option’. In his September 2009 address to Congress, he reiterated his commitment to ramming through a socialist agenda regardless of its consequences and despite the safeguards provided in the Constitution. Our President, the one who promised a transparent administration, careful and open review of pending laws, and bipartisan agreement on major issues, would fundamentally remake America if given half a chance. Even the Russians are alarmed.

Barack Obama is the champion, the chief enabler, the high priest of entitlement, pork barrel politics and class warfare. His address before Congress was divisive, corrosive and loaded with vitriol aimed at his perceived enemies and detractors. He obfuscated, embellished, bamboozled, misled, misrepresented, parsed and basically lied throughout the speech. While Republicans held up copies of plans that had been repeatedly ignored by Democrat legislators and the White House, Obama cooed and fluttered his eyelids, promising to look at any good idea placed before him. So much for hope and change.

The Democrats want to nationalize the best-performing sector of the economy, citing increased costs and inequality of care. Yes indeed the “costs” have been increasing — and so have the available cures, remedies and options for the sick. Twenty years ago were was no such thing as angioplasty at any price. Today, it is a common lifesaving procedure. Twenty years ago no angioplasties were performed. Today, thousands are performed every day. This adds to the “cost” of healthcare, but it also puts productive Americans back to work. And once at work, they pay taxes. Angioplasties also cost less than bypass surgery, the only option available twenty years ago. In other words, the medical sector of the economy is growing, creating more jobs, more opportunities, more productive benefit to the nation as whole. Innovation drives new technology that saves more lives and returns those people to a productive life more quickly and with fewer side effects. It is for the most part market-driven even though it is highly regulated, heavily taxed and repeatedly preyed upon by the unscrupulous.

To criticize this growth would be equivalent to criticizing Ford Motor Company for selling more cars this year compared to last year. It would be like characterizing increased sales of new cars as increasing the cost of transportation to Americans. That is the specious argument that Democrats have made. They are lying to the American public, obscuring the fact that healthcare systems continue to improve in the efficient delivery of care to every American. The reason why the healthcare sector has grown is primarily because the volume and choice of medical services have grown - as should be the case with any healthy sector of the economy.

Our healthcare system is a technological wonder that cannot be duplicated anywhere else in the world. There is little reason to fear that China or India could somehow create a cheaper knockoff. Even if they could, it would benefit only their own people – if their governments allowed them to access that care. Top-quality healthcare can’t be imported or exported. Hundreds of thousands flock to the US for elective and cosmetic surgery, chemotherapy and radiation treatment. They place themselves in the care of highly trained and highly motivated doctors, nurses, technicians and various healthcare specialists. The US is the epicenter of medical advances, drug development and treatment options. And yet, Obama and the Democrats are firmly resolved to destroy it.

Why destroy such a vital part of the economy? Because it stands in the way of making Democrats and Obama voterproof. If the Democrats were ever able to dispense healthcare the way they dispense political favors and government dollars, their dependents would never vote them out of office. By controlling your health, Democrats control your body and therefore control your life. Once you’re standing on line for daily medications, you’re nothing more than a serf. The Democrats can do with you what they wish. That appears to be their plan. They don’t care about innovation and they certainly don’t care about bringing the cost down otherwise they wouldn’t be talking about penalties and taxing medical benefits.

Think about it: How does taxing the average middle-class wage earner’s medical benefits lower that wage earner’s medical costs? How does it make health coverage better? The answer is it doesn’t do anything to benefit the middle-class wage earner, who’s going to end up paying for other peoples’ healthcare through higher insurance premiums, taxes on medical devices, taxes on employer-paid plans and taxes hidden in every layer of the healthcare delivery system.

And yes, Obama did lie: He will extend medical coverage to illegal aliens, except they won’t be illegal when the benefits kick in. In the few short months by when medical coverage is offered, Obama will have granted amnesty to those illegals. In the meanwhile, illegal aliens will continue to get their medical services paid for as they have been for decades - by municipalities, counties and states who in turn tax the rest of us. He’s using a very simple political calculus — those who benefit from government-run healthcare and pay nothing for it will outvote those who pay for their own private insurance AND government-run healthcare for others.

Obama’s plan calls for penalties if citizens don’t sign up for a public insurance plan. But, he never mentions those who can’t afford it, don’t work, don’t want to work or are incapable of working. What happens to them? In fact, the Congressional Budget Office calculated that after all is said and done, after the Obama administration has turned the entire healthcare industry into a government program, 25 million Americans may remain uninsured. What?! That was the entire reason this healthcare debate was ignited in the first place! What Obama is proposing would then create a huge new tax burden for middle-class Americans, destroy the most vital sector of our economy and still fail to provide healthcare for 25 million Americans. This is sheer insanity. Or is it? Maybe, this is a calculated move to grab power and install a socialist regime.

Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid have flogged their respective Democrat legislators to fall in line behind a public option that is an out-and-out socialist power grab. Once enacted, it will give Democrats incredible power over the electorate, which could explain this manufactured crisis and the campaign of lies that envelopes healthcare legislation. Once these people have you under their control, it’s unlikely they will relinquish it without a struggle.

There is no such thing as ‘pure’ socialism. There are many different flavors of this flawed theory, there are many failed examples of its practical limitations and there are the horrors of imperfect, ill-conceived socialist states that litter recent history. Hitler claimed to be a socialist. So did Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot and a whole host of murderers and thieves. They all operated from the same playbook, calling themselves ‘men of the people’, when in fact the welfare of ‘the people’ was never a consideration. They were thugs with limited vision operating a thug state. Central planning was a necessity because these thugs couldn’t comprehend much less control a real functioning economy or society. They had no intention of creating a socialist state. The platitudes and promises of a social nirvana were merely a means to an end – the opportunity to grab power. The thug state was concerned only with the continued existence of the thug state and the enrichment of thugs and their dependents - which is why Rahm Emmanuel is so important a figure in the Obama administration. The ludicrous and financially disastrous plans of one Barack Obama can’t be instituted in a democratic manner, simply because no informed, productive taxpayer would stand still for it. There are only two ways to install the Democratic Party’s socialist agenda – force it on the population or lie to them. Obama’s a careful player, so he’s opted for both.

But, Obama’s not alone in this ill-fated adventure. Leading Democrats, including Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, have signed up for the charade. It’s difficult to know their underlying motives: are they true believers or just opportunists? If they’re true believers, we’re all in trouble, simply because the personal ignorance and blind ambition of these people will destroy us all. If they’re opportunists, they’re playing with fire. Graveyards are full of people who went along with Lenin, Stalin, Mao and Castro, thinking they could moderate the impulses of their leaders once they achieved power. It didn’t work out that way. Many Democrats are going along with the extreme leftist agenda because they hope it will make them voter-proof. Yes, that is the overarching goal of the Democratic Party – they want to hold power without accountability or recourse.

They are willing to sell their souls for a permanent hold on the levers of power without fully understanding that the monster they create will crush them underfoot as our democracy disintegrates into a thug state. This has happened time and again in recent history. America fought socialism for almost 100 years. Our greatest enemies were socialist states. We crept back from the brink of socialism not once, but twice, during the FDR and LBJ administrations. And here, at the dawn of a new millennium, our former enemies are shaking themselves free of the socialist yoke, while we, champions of the Free World, slip into darkness.

And even though history has plenty to teach us about the failures of socialism, our leaders and their toadies deliberately misinform and re-educate our citizens, so that they are ignorant of the incredible human suffering that awaits them when these idiots begin to experiment with our lives. Understand that Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid are purely corrupt by every definition of the word. The contempt and hatred that they, Barack Obama and the Democratic leadership hold for the average American is heart-stopping. For some bizarre reason, they want to punish us – take away our freedoms, destroy our optimism, kill the American spirit. They won’t stop until personal mobility is a thing of the past, social mobility is impossible and a rigid class structure is erected – with them at the top of the heap.

The Democrats are committed to cap and trade – an extraordinary tax scheme that will leave many Americans with the tough choice of heating their homes or having enough to eat. Cap and trade will enrich Al Gore and his Democrat cronies while it demolishes the manufacturing and energy sectors of economy. By the way, it will do absolutely nothing for the environment. It has nothing to do with the environment. Instead, it will give the federal government unprecedented power over the everyday lives of the citizens and create a protected energy monopoly for the politically connected.

The Democrats are committed to nationalized healthcare – another tax scheme that will have Americans standing in line for an aspirin, where treatment will be doled out to those with political connections and the ‘correct’ status. Illegal aliens, designated minorities and those who simply don’t want to work or pay for health insurance will be covered while productive taxpayers find themselves at the end of the line. It’s not that Democrats are particularly concerned about the welfare of illegals or the poor. It’s another power grab. By directing who gets medical treatment and who doesn’t, Democrats can make themselves voter-proof and recall-proof. Once national healthcare is instituted, they won’t waste time flexing their power.

The Democrats are committed to budget-busting government programs – and once a huge deficit is in place, they’ll demand that taxes be raised yet again. By taking more money away from productive taxpayers, the government is in effect taking away the taxpayers’ freedom. Working Americans, be they janitors or CEO’s, will have no say about how 60% of the money they earn is spent. In fact, Democrats want to leave us only with spending money – enough to get drunk or high. The rest of it they’ll be happy to ‘manage’ for us. Let’s not forget that excessive taxation is just another form of serfdom – we live only to fuel the excesses and whims of politicians, bureaucrats and their cronies, whether they are community organizers or Wall Street shysters.

The Democrats are stupid. They are confident that the American taxpayer can be worked harder, taxed more and stripped of even more personal freedoms. They think the golden goose can still lay a few more golden eggs. They’re wrong. There comes a tipping point when government and government unions fuse to become a juggernaut that responds to no authority but its own. Unfortunately, there are many in the Democratic Party working toward that end, intent on installing a thug state. They don’t even bother to hide it anymore because no one will challenge them.

Our fate lies not in the hands of Republicans, who are squeamish and weak-kneed when confronting this evil. They equivocate, vacillate and compromise instead of engaging in a fight for the very life of this country. No, the fate of this country rests with a very few moderate and conservative Democrats who may still be able to distract, delay and frustrate the efforts of the hard-core left. They alone can deflect the course of the socialist juggernaut. They are the swing vote, the skeptics and the very few honest brokers left in the Democratic Party. They and they alone can pull us back from the brink. Let them not waiver in their resolve.

Who is Barack Obama’s Svengali? Is it possible that Barack Obama has the faculties, the intelligence, the megalomaniacal drive necessary to destroy this country on his own? It’s obvious the mainstream media is providing cover and Congress is doing their part to spend as foolishly as possible, but what our President is doing to this great country is so evil and malevolent, it borders on insanity . Does Barack Obama hate this country so deeply and with so much passion that he’s dedicated his life to its destruction? The motives just don’t seem to be there. Here’s a guy who never had to really work very hard, who received an incredible education free of charge, who’s lived comfortably, even luxuriously, through the generosity of our government, the special preferences granted him, various social programs and the largess of wealthy liberals. Maybe Barack Obama is just a Trilby, someone that’s easily instructed and handled, yet possessed of charismatic presentation. That may very well be. Obama is a very ambitious man, one who firmly believes in his own magnificence and sense of destiny. His head is filled with an ideology that has been proven worthless time and time again. Yet, he moves forward with a deliberate tempo and increasingly more dangerous and damaging policies. He doesn’t appear to understand what the consequences might be. Therefore, one can only assume he doesn’t know or is too self-absorbed to care. Who could be the Svengali to Obama’s Trilby?

Bill Ayers probably had a hand in writing some of Barack Obama’s books, which mysteriously became bestsellers during a time when books of that type didn’t sell particularly well. But Bill Ayers, the unrepentant domestic terrorist and college professor (somehow that’s a combination that works on campus), doesn’t seem to have the imagination and intellect to dream up this wholesale destruction of America. But then, you never know. His stupid bombing attacks on the Pentagon and NYC police headquarters were committed when he was quite young. Over 40 years, a man has time to dream up new ways to destroy his country. No, Bill Ayers just doesn’t have it. He’s just an over the hill radical who can only survive by talking at impressionable college students who haven’t been out in real world and don’t know any better.

There’s always George Soros, international man of mystery and money manipulation. Here’s someone with real hatred towards America, someone who is forced to hide inside our borders because he’s destroyed the economies of so many countries there’s probably a contract out for his murder. Soros is the fellow who funds dozens of left wing hatemongers and smear websites like moveon.org, the Daily Kos, and literally hundreds of bloggers, activists and street people. Soros and his pals made $2 billion dollars back in ‘92 shorting the Bank of England, creating roughly $30 billion in economic damage that was then foisted onto the backs of British taxpayers. He did the same in Russia, then moved on to Southeast Asia where he shorted the currencies of Myanmar, Indonesia and Singapore, and where he’s still wanted on currency manipulation charges. Soros has the same MO wherever he goes - donate to ‘progressive’ causes, establish ‘democratic’ front organizations, then push the governments into overspending. He then swoops in, shorts the currency and creates an economic collapse. Soros and buddies walk away with billions. Who’s to say that he isn’t doing the same thing here, with Barack Obama gladly devaluing the currency with huge stimulus bills, enormous deficits and uncontrolled spending? Soros could be waiting in the wings, ready to pounce.

If he does, Soros and his pals will walk way with trillions in personal wealth. That kind of money buys real, world-dominating power. We, the American taxpayers, will be digging out for the next 50 years. That means unimaginable economic destruction - middle class Americans turned into paupers, standing in line for government assistance, unable to care for themselves. Which is precisely where Barack Obama wants us: dependent on government for everything, begging him for a crust of bread. There is a good reason Obama wants to make sure Americans can’t offshore their money or hide it overseas, why he’s attempting to close loopholes in Monaco, the Cayman Islands, Bermuda and the Channel Islands. Average Americans can’t have any security or savings. It would mean they have resources he can’t control. They could be in a position to defy him.

Okay, if it isn’t Soros, who could it be? America has many enemies, both inside and outside our borders. Barack Obama is not an American by the definition that most of us would think a President should be. He was born in Kenya (or Hawaii, under questionable circumstances), grew up in Indonesia and returned to the US as a teenager. His formative years were spent in Islamic schools in a foreign country. He didnt’ serve in the military. He didn’t get a regular job and struggle to pay rent and taxes. His orientation is vastly different not just from the average American, but even that of African Americans. Barack Obama probably doesn’t see himself as an American, but rather a citizen of the world. And that means his Svengali is likely outside the country. Obama is unlike Bill Clinton who, like a cheap hooker, took money from the Chinese for his reelection bid and opened up American markets to Chinese goods imported by WalMart (headquartered in Arkansas, surprise!). No, Obama isn’t conducting a transaction for a quick buck like Clinton had.  The stakes are much bigger and the game is being played for all the marbles. If Obama and whoever runs his teleprompter succeed, America will be destroyed. The list of potential Svengali’s is quite small, actually. Stay tuned for regular installments on the hunt for Barack’s brain.

It’s heartening to see the thousands of people who came out to protest the runaway spending of the Obama administration and the clowns in Congress. It’s disheartening to see the mainstream media avoidingcoverage of these events, or even acknowledging that they happened. Even local TV stations, who will send out camera trucks to cover a backyard barbecue fire, have ignored this groundswell of opposition to a socialist regime. In Michigan, where local media totally ignored the invasion of a church service by militant gays earlier this year, the silence on the part of local media is disquieting. It means that beyond a shadow of a doubt, the electronic, print and online media have taken on the role of official government propagandists and information managers. Across the country, the media coverage is about the same. The only network carrying any meaningful coverage is Fox News Channel. Unfortunately, even on its best days, Fox can’t outpull reruns of American Idol. So, despite its fair and balanced coverage, the message is being broadcast to those who are already convinced that Obama and the Democrats mean to impose a huge tax burden on working Americans as they strip away our personal rights and economic freedoms. The people who need to see this so that they fully understand what’s really happening are instead busy watching CNN, MSNBC, NBC, ABC and CBS, where they get their daily dose of propaganda from the news mafia.

The DHS brief regarding ‘right-wing extremists’ and President Obama’s not-so clever references to government surveillance was widely publicized just days before the planned tax protests. This wasn’t intended to be subtle. It was intended to intimidate would-be protesters and make them think twice. Couple that with the lack of coverage for the tax protests and the manipulation becomes rather obvious.

But, the tea parties will serve a purpose. The unexpectedly high turnout across the country was a welcome sight to those brave souls who showed up, wondering if they would be the only ones holding a placard. Much to their relief, hundreds, if not thousands, showed up at every single tea party. To the participants, it has become very clear that they’re part of something big and something that’s going to get bigger. Now, they’ll go back home and tell their friends and neighbors. They’ll get on the web and blog. They’ll put a bumper sticker on their car. Maybe, they’ll work up enough nerve to call or write their Congressman or senator. But most importantly, they’ll realize that they can do something, even if it’s just getting together at a protest rally and venting their frustrations.

The producers, the ones who work and pay taxes, have to regain control of the government. Just because Obama and his gang of socialists in Congress have enacted legislative and passed an irresponsible budget doesn’t mean that these bills can be gutted with amendments or even repealed. But, it takes constant, unrelenting pressure on both houses of Congress to do so. Obama doesn’t care. He’s a committed Marxist who thinks what he’s doing will ensure him a place in history. It’s an all or nothing game with him, and the ends justify the means. But still, a Congress that’s faltering under massive pressure will back away from Obama’s Stalinist agenda. Politicians have a habit of getting weak in the knees when confronted with an angry constituency.

The tea parties are a great start. Next? Recall sitting members of Congress, beginning with the worst of the worst: Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Russ Fiengold, Patrick Leahy, John Conyers, Maxine Waters, Sander Levin, Carl Levin, John Kerry, the list goes on and on. Actually, it would probably be better to just name the three or four senators and congressmen worth keeping. And, just in case Al Franken gets too comfortable in his new office, the citizens of Minnesota should begin filing those recall petitions tomorrow morning.

After that? Let’s work on governors, secretaries of state and state legislatures. It’s never too late to throw the bums out.

The look on Nazi Pelosi’s face during the press conference she held after the House voted on Obama’s back-breaking new budget should have frightened more of us. It should have jolted the country awake, sent us into the streets to shout and scream that this can’t happen here. She was in ecstasy - a kind of raving mad ecstasy. She lit up like Adolf Hitler’s face when he was delivering one of those lengthy harangues where thousands stood in formation, flags flying and swastikas ablaze. Nazi Pelosi was beaming. Her greatest triumph was at hand - the utter devastation of the American way of life. It was a way of life that had personally rewarded her immensely. She and her husband, Paul Pelosi, have amassed more than $30 million in stocks and real estate - the fruits of capitalism. But, that kind of wealth is not for the rest of us. We are merely the proletariat: Unexceptional people facing a humdrum existence of paying taxes and paying bills. We’re scrabbling for a meager existence while our Speaker of the House pistol whips Air Force generals for being late with her Gulfstream jet.

Nazi Pelosi has been a political hack all her life. She realized early on that political power can make you as much money as true business prowess. And, you don’t risk any personal capital, either. Sort of like Hillary Clinton’s miraculous ‘options’ trade that netted her a hundred grand on a 1K bet. Or, maybe buying real estate that will be rezoned by your political cronies, netting you a fortune in short order. Liberal politicians who claim they’re happy to pay high taxes do so because they haven’t put any real effort or taken any risk in making that money. It’s like winning a lottery - no real skill involved.

But Nazi Pelosi is making a calculated bet that she can grow government to Soviet-era proportions and still retain enough positive economic activity to fund that government. That way, she can direct billions of dollars to pet projects and political cronies, enriching only those who buy into her warped vision. Unfortunately, she’s wrong, just like Ted Kennedy, Barney Frank, Chuck Schumer, Chris Dodd, Arlen Specter, Patrick Leahy and the whole lot of them are wrong. They’ve pushed government spending over the line where it now destroys the entire economic system that keeps it all going.

More importantly, Nazi Pelosi is also trying to make the Democratic Party voter-proof so that no conservative backlash can remove Democrats from office at the voting booth in 2010 or 2012, and no Marxist legislation can be repealed. She and her Democratic co-conspirators are determined to slam shut the door of opportunity and economic freedom, forever barring the poor, the working class and the middle class from ever having a shot at real prosperity. There will be no more rags to riches stories in America unless you have political cover from the power elite.

The Speaker doesn’t understand that she is playing with fire. Socialism and Marxism are flawed systems because they don’t have the checks and balances that our founding fathers spent nearly a decade perfecting and then memorializing in the Constitution. A huge centralized government will begin to overstep its bounds almost immediately. Wait a minute - that’s already happening. Barack Obama fired Rick Wagoner, the chairman of General Motors. And, Secretary Geithner is firing bank CEOs, even though banks want to give the TARP money back.  And now, a government that can’t even pave roads properly or safely dispose of our garbage wants to nationalize the healthcare industry. We will be standing in line for an aspirin. This is what Nazi Pelosi dreams of when she goes to sleep.

It’s only a matter of time before the government starts dictating how much money each of us deserves to make, how hard we should be working and what we get to keep for our efforts. Rest assured that the politically connected and the parasites will be well fed, well housed and driving around in government-supplied vehicles. Nazi Pelosi will make sure of that.

Nazi Pelosi would like to force you out of your comfortable suburban home and put you into multifamily housing. She wants to take away your SUV or pickup truck so that you can stand in the rain and wait for a bus. It’s more efficient, it’s more environmentally responsible, she’ll say. Ah, but who’s living in your old house? That would be government workers, contractors, political party apparatchiks, government ‘dependents’ and other beneficiaries of the Democratic vision. But certainly not you, because you don’t deserve it. But, you will still be paying for it.

In fact, Nazi Pelosi supports ‘unpegging’ the United States from its Constitution and recognizing ‘international’ law. There is no such thing. ‘International’ law is a political mishmash administered by the UN and amended whenever the political winds change. And that’s why Nazi Pelosi wants it to be the law of the land - there will be no more Bill of Rights, no contract law, no ethical grounding. Every legal matter will be a political calculation, a matter of situational ethics. We won’t be able to vote, assemble, have our voices heard. That’s what Nazi Pelosi dreams of. There will be no way back to the America of our mothers and fathers. The only functioning constitutional republic in human history will have disappeared. In its place will be a collapsing society that poses a threat to its own citizens while it menaces the world. Thank you for your vision, Nazi Pelosi.

The bureaucrats and politicians at GM and the bureaucrats and politicians in DC are carefully and politely carving up the cadaver that was once GM. The autopsy is being performed in Washington behind closed doors, perhaps in the Rayburn building. The scenario could play out like this: While GM executives sit out in the hallway, UAW bosses sit in secret sessions with Congressional Democrats, pounding the table and demanding that they and their union members be compensated for delivering the vote. Democrat party leaders scratch their collective heads, trying to figure out a way to put money in the hands of unions without rewarding automotive execs for sub-par performance. This is no easy task, even for experienced enablers of parasitic behavior like those on Capitol Hill.

Meanwhile, the remaining GM execs are in a huddle trying to figure out how to save their jobs or cobble together a nice golden parachute that doesn’t draw too much attention from the media, the unions or the clowns in Congress. Rick Wagoner’s exit package will be closely scrutinized. They’ve already thrown white collar retirees to the wolves - the government will likely take over the non-union retiree pension programs and slash pension payments and benefits. The media won’t report on it.

President Obama has, in his infinite wisdom as Supreme Leader, appointed a leftist social scientist as the auto czar. Not a car guy. Not an engineer or a corporate finance guy, but a socialist academic who’s never held a real job in his life. Edward Montgomery has never had to deliver a product on time, on budget, with repeatable quality and show a profit – not even an ice cream cone. There is no evidence that Edward Montgomery has ever changed the oil in his car, much less displayed any knowledge of automobiles or the industry. Instead, Edward Montgomery will become the most powerful automotive executive in US history so that he can preside over the ‘equitable’ distribution of money to the UAW and skilled trade unions. He’s certainly not interested in having GM or Chrysler throw off a profit, because he probably doesn’t even understand how that happens. Therefore, GM’s new board of directors, hand-picked by Mr. Montgomery, will probably be composed of radical environmentalists, labor union representatives, academics, ‘victims’ of corporate excesses and ‘community’ leaders. GM will become very much like the old Soviet Union’s state-run enterprises - cranking out sub-par goods at outrageous prices. In fact, the Democrats can probably still find some old, disgruntled Soviet apparatchiks that can show them how best to milk the system for all it’s worth.

GM and possibly Chrysler will be forced to build cars designed by bureaucrats and social activists. These vehicles will make the infamous Soviet-era Trabant look stylish by comparison. Of course, most Americans won’t buy them, prefering to pay a carbon-credit tax on a real car made elsewhere — like Japan, Korea, India or China. The Obama administration will then give these unwanted GM cars away to undeserving wards of the state, who’ll leave them lying by the roadside once they have a flat tire. And the American taxpayer will be on the hook for this entire mess.

But, it’s too easy to blame Obama and the Democrats for the mess. After all, they’re just taking advantage of a situation they didn’t create. No, that happened on Rick Wagoner’s watch, along with an entire gang of GM exec’s that just plain didn’t do their job. The UAW’s attitude is understandable to a degree - they can’t save GM even if their members worked for free. It’s not the union’s fault that GM management wasn’t looking ahead, that it wasn’t nimble enough to create a car company that could roll with the punches like a Honda or Toyota. Yes, the car business has been cruel to everyone, but Toyota lost $2 billion in 2008, while GM lost something north of $40 billion. Both firms sell about the same number of vehicles.

GM points to ‘legacy’ costs such as retiree benefits. Toyota has similar costs. Its labor force is actually older than GM’s and Japan also mandates similar retirement benefits for unionized auto workers. The money is distributed differently, but the numbers are similar. The same is true for German autoworkers who receive 80% of their working salary during retirement. And yet, both the Japanese and German automakers are in better shape than GM.

The blame is to be shared equally by GM management and UAW/skilled trades union bosses. On the part of GM management, a chronic shortage of vision and leadership allowed the company’s bureaucracy to bungle forward, oblivious to the realities of the marketplace.  On the union side, the UAW and the skilled trades unions did their level best to create work rules that hampered productivity and ballooned the cost of tooling up for a new vehicle. They were adamant about preserving jobs in order to protect that flow of dues into union coffers. Too bad it backfired on them. GM’s senior management was too timid to confront the unions and demand more cooperation. Much like the state and federal government, union bosses could not grasp the fact that more productive union workers would make the car companies more profitable and they would in turn build more manufacturing plants. Those plants would need more workers. Instead, union bosses dug in their heels and insisted on increasingly unproductive work rules and procedures that hamstrung automakers and gobbled up available cash.

Why would the unions do such a thing? It would seem short-sighted and self-destructive. Because, union workers and union bosses were firsthand witnesses to the bad decision-making emanating from GM’s executive suites. Those decisions cost them jobs and opportunities. When a new product fails, like GM’s infamous Pontiac Aztec, management doesn’t get laid off or fired. Assembly line workers do. When GM’s board of directors approves investment in a new vehicle line, executives aren’t called on the carpet when it doesn’t sell. Instead, white collar and blue collar workers are asked to make sacrifices and the auto suppliers are told to cut their prices. The automotive industry as a whole has been making sacrifices for the better part of two decades. GM’s senior management has not.

So, when GM is on the ropes, executives shouldn’t expect too much help or sympathy from the UAW or the supplier base, even though the fate of both are closely tied to the failing giant. On the political front, GM has bellyached for years about the unfair trade advantages held by imported brands. Those arguments began to fall apart when imports set up manufacturing facilities in the US while GM continued to move jobs overseas.

It’s likely that GM will go the way of Hudson, Kaiser, Studebaker, Rambler and the venerable Hupmobile. There’s nothing griven in stone that says a corporation must live forever. Big corporations are like miniature civilizations. They possess their own culture, social pecking order, rules of etiquette, ways of doing things. And like any civilization, they have a birth, a period of vibrant growth, maturity and finally, a decline followed by death or dismemberment. Younger, more aggressive corporations feed on the remains. In the end, GM’s demise may give rise to smaller, nimbler carmakers that can remain competitive in the world markets. Propped up by government, GM will simply remain a huge and costly socialist experiment, draining the country of resources that could be put to better use. Steamships and the Pony Express are gone, along with buggy whips and hoop skirts. As unpleasant as it may be in the short term, maybe it’s time for GM to ride off into the sunset. In this case, the pieces will be of greater value than the sum of the parts.

Barack Obama has dedicated himself to destroying this country. He’s attacking the very ideals and institutions that have made this country the greatest in the history of mankind. He’s taken upon himself the grim task of gutting the Constitution, the system of checks and balances, and a free-market economy that’s the envy of the world. Why would he do this? Because he’s not familiar with the America most Americans live in. His father was Kenyan - an alcoholic womanizer who visited this country once or twice. His American mother was an ultra-liberal that flitted about the globe, dragging her young son with her as she attempted to ‘find’ herself. He spent his formative years in Indonesia attending a Muslim school. Barack Obama had no grounding in what being an American truly is, what it means, and what’s important to Americans.

Barack Obama is an exemplary orator. Too bad that what he’s spewing is pure Marxist dogma. And yet, the stupid and the gullible sop it up, quivering in joy when they hear him speak, misunderstanding his true intentions and the ‘plans’ he has for America. Even black Americans who voted for Obama had better pay attention now. If they thought their lot in life was somehow diminished during the Bush administration, just wait until Obama is done with them. The Messiah will alter their America, too. And they won’t recognize it when he’s finished.

Well-educated, well-spoken and well-dressed, Obama the demagogue told everyone what they wanted to hear. But, he was very plain and straightforward about his vision for a Marxist utopia - except nobody really listened. Now, he’s making good on his promise to ‘re-make’ America, uproot its traditions and reason for being. No, he’s not going to create some sort of Euro-style socialist state. He’s going for the throat - a full-on Marxist takeover, complete with his promised ‘internal security force’ the size of our military. Why would the Anointed One, the Great Visionary, need an internal security force composed mostly of our poorly educated and gullible students, except to create another Hitler Youth or Red Guard to impose the will of Obama and the Democratic Party on us all? It’s a frightening prospect.

The media & entertainment clowns continue to cheer him on. The conservatives continue to question his motives and methods, but they’re largely outshouted. And so, Obama goes about his business - stampeding the stupid into giving him the imprimatur to take away all of our economic freedoms. And without economic freedom, the ability to keep what you earn guaranteed by our Constitution, the freedom to vote or voice your opinion is nearly useless. No one will hear you complaining when you’re standing in a breadline.

Obama is using the banking crisis to ram through a Marxist agenda - government control of energy, healthcare and capital formation. He’s lying about his true intent, cloaking this outrageous power grab as a means to moderate the economic downturn. Creating a ‘green’ economy with unproven technology and government subsidies is not a free-standing, self-sufficient economy. Bankrupting coal producers, coal-fired energy generation, oil companies and auto companies is not going to create a rebound. Confiscating healthcare and turning it into a political weapon will not cause prosperity to materialize. And certainly, adding a huge new tax burden on economic activity will not create jobs.

But then, Obama doesn’t really care if the economy recovers at all. The worse it gets, the more power he’ll accumulate and the further our great country will slide into the clutches of a failed ideology. To the Democrats that won’t matter in the least. They’ll always have the ‘rich’ and the Republicans to blame for anything and everything that goes wrong. And when it gets really tough, fellow Democrats can meet up with their President at the White House for a cocktail on Wednesday nights and dine on $100 per pound steak. Hey, it’s free, isn’t it? Go on, a second helping couldn’t hurt…

George Soros isn’t well known to most Americans. He should be. He’s very well known in Southeast Asia, where he’s been accused of currency manipulation and destroying the economies of Myanmar, Malaysia and Indonesia in the late 1990s. If that doesn’t jog your memory, or perhaps you’re too young, Mr. Soros was also responsible for breaking the Bank of England in 1992, creating a $30 billion hole in the British economy back when $30 billion was still a bunch of money. And, he and his cronies pocketed $2 billion for their two months’ work. Mr. Soros has dabbled in the currencies of many countries, large and small, across the globe. Eventually, as that country’s currency faltered, Mr. Soros would short the currency, which would create a collapse, followed by runaway inflation and economic devastation. Sort of like a fairy prince who brings good things to all people.

In the runup to that currency collapse, Mr. Soros would set up shop in his targeted country, usually through surrogates. He would get involved in the banking, economic, public policy and social issues of that targeted country, generously funding progressive causes. Mr. Soros preferred socialist countries because their economies and fiscal policies grew out of central planning - slow, predictable and easily outmaneuvered -like England. Dynamic, rapidly changing, free-market economies didn’t suit his particular form of predation. It was too difficult to predict when or if a currency should be shorted, or when to force a government into economic collapse with a manufactured crisis of confidence.

He’s made billions for himself, his cronies and a plethora of shadowy organizations strung around the world. Unfortunately, he’s been operating within the relative safety of the United States for the last 30 or so years, protected from retribution by other countries whose economies he’s been accused of destroying. About 10 years ago, he likely decided that America would be his next big pet project. Yep, it’s a real fixer-upper. But what are his intentions? Is this the Big One, the biggest short of all time? Is he going to destroy the biggest economy in the world to put another notch in his belt? Exactly why is he here in the first place, and why does he care so much about America, a place he detests and whose people he despises?

Mr. Soros thinks America needs to be overhauled top to bottom, that its people need to be re-educated, its traditions are primeval, its institutions are hopelessly unsophisticated and that we’re all too damned fat. If it’s so bad here, why doesn’t he leave? He can easily afford to buy Lichtenstein.  Maybe he can crown himself king and live out his socialist-autocratic fantasies there and just leave us alone. But, he won’t. Instead, he funds manure-sprayers like moveon.org and a whole host of anti-American front organizations that do their best to destabilize the country and instill doubt in the whole American reason for being. There are plenty of places that could use the help of George Soros to pull the population out of the hellhole they call their daily existence. Zambia comes to mind. So do a dozen other countries that could do with a meddling do-gooder. Ah, but Mr. Soros (not his real name) may not be the do-gooder he would like us to think he is.

No, Mr. Soros may be dabbling in American politics and supporting the Marxist demagoguery of Barack Obama for only one reason. Once the US economy has been placed under the firm control of financial geniuses like Barney Frank, Chris Dodd and Charlie Rangel, aided and abetted by hundreds of well-meaning but hopelessly outclassed dunderheads at the Department of Treasury and the Department of Commerce, our economy will resemble that of 1950s Red China — easily manipulated and easily shorted. The biggest currency short of all time. But, what exactly does that mean to the average working American?

It means waking up early one morning in the next few months (that’s right, George is a busy little guy) and driving past a gas station that displays unleaded regular at $8.80 per gallon. John Q. Public will rub his eyes, thinking it was just a dream - until he drives past the next gas station with the same $8.80 per gallon price. Oh, by the way, that’s the cash price. The credit card price will be $9.70 per gallon. When John Q. Public stops at Dunkin’ Donuts, the small coffee will be $5.50 per cup. The car radio will be blaring the news of a massive currency devaluation that occurred when talks collapsed at midnight between the Federal Reserve and central banks around the world. What talks? None of the news media mentioned any talks. For days, the news media had instead been filled with glowing coverage of Barack Obama eating $100 per pound steak and sipping Dom Perignon with his Democratic stooges, skewering the Republicans for questioning the insanity of his pork barrel stimulus package. And George Soros was there, enjoying the moment.

George Soros hates America with a passion that would scare the snot out of your average New York City socialite. It’s a deep, virulent hatred that’s directed at everything average Americans think is even remotely important, and a few things that truly are, like religion, the flag and the right to drive that 10 year-old pickup truck anywhere you please. George wants the common man to be common - no distinction between one and the other, all eking out a meager existence in a modest little apartment, taking a bus or train to work. This while George and the rest of the liberal elite fly in private jets from palatial home to palatial home.

George has probably already set up his short play. Complex computer programs, twitchy currency traders and pre-arranged execution deals are in place, ready for the triggering events that will collapse the dollar. And when it happens, George will be on a yacht somewhere, or possibly a White House dinner, feigning innocence like a Mafia don attending a baptism during a mob hit he ordered. When the smoke clears and the wreckage becomes evident, George will smile. Mission accomplished.
