In trouble, White House searches for a billionaire to blame
Washington Examiner ^ | 12-10-09 | Byron York

In 1998, when the Clinton White House found itself in the middle of the Lewinsky scandal, one of its key defense strategies was to attack the conservative philanthropist Richard Mellon Scaife as the dark power behind the allegations against the president. The Clinton camp believed Scaife to be "the Goldfinger of the right-wing conspiracy," as Newsweek put it in a February 1998 report.

How ‘bout Mitt Romney?

They could name me, if they like, too?

I just don’t have a billion dollars anymore.

I think Obama has it now?

Good strategy. I blame Soros for a large chunk of the trouble our country is in.

If I had the kind of money Richard Mellon Scaife (or Soros, for that matter) has I would not waste it on stuff like this, but rather fund a shadow army. Believe me when I say I'd turn this country around real quick!

All I need is $50 million in seed money, and I guarantee a Renaissance in America: Kids will play in parks unmolested. Our public spaces would be reclaimed for the public, and the gangs and thugs that harrass, intimidate and beat the good folk would no longer be a factor. Illegal aliens will no longer leer and grope our daughters, bacause they'd all be busy picking produce. Welfare-collecting ghetto mamas with handicapped placards due to "fat knees" would be put to good use instead of laying around all day eating bon bons and washing it down with Courvoisier.

Simply put, it would be a Rockwell painting writ large.

In trouble, White House searches for a billionaire to blame

In the last two weeks, we have both witnessed and taken part in the dismantling of an extremely successful Capitalist based only on his moral failures. An unbelievable number of people, regardless of their political leanings jumped into the feeding frenzy to tear him to shreds. The controlled media is starting to really figure us out. There will be more, many more successful Americans from all walks of life tossed under the wheels of Socialism before we realize it's too late to stop it from running all of us over.

I think the soul of Socialism has enjoyed watching what we all have done to Tiger Woods. It could care less that he may have supported Obama, created a successful charity, or was even of mixed race. It doesn't care at all that he cheated on his wife. He was an extremely successful Capitalist and his destruction couldn't have happened at a better time. Unlike America, Tiger Woods can turn off the TV, quit reading the news articles and refocus on what he needs to to do to get his life back in order. I starting to think we can't.
