They still believe, despite all evidence to the contrary, in the marxist method. They believe in it not because they (outside of their useful idiots) think for an instant that it will help the people or the nation, the believe in it becuase they crave and lust after power and control and know that if they can usher in such a system on the ashes of our free market, that they will be in charge...and that is what they want above all else.
Barack Hussein Obama and his ilk (and he has been created by big money interests that are not representative of the best interests of this nation) are enemies to the American way of life, our foundational moral principles, our economic system, the defense of this nation and its national interests, our juris prudence, our spiritual roots and values, and, in short our very liberty, pursuit of happoiness, and lifes and those of our children and grand-children.
He has stated that our religious values must be comprimised in the public areana, he has stated that captialism is a failed system, that our defenses must be drastically cut...he has made clear what he intends on numerous occassions.
It is up to us to spread the knoweldge and Audacity of Truth about this man and those who back him.
As Patrick Henry stated, and that truth has not dimmed since the 17700s...there is a just God in Heaven and we will not fight our battles alone (if we will just have the gumption to stand and fight) and that He will raise up friends to fight with and for us.
I believe with all my heart that Sarah Palin is one suchg "friend". and that we can achieve victory over this Obamanation and those who support it and would foist it on us.
All on my Ping list: Please read this vital information that Joanie haas articulate dhere and spread the word to all you know.
Well said, as always, Jeff.
Since the announcement of Sarah Palin as McCain's running mate, I have been angered most by some conservatives' nit-picking about several things they believe are lacking in her (chief among them, 'experience').
I won't go into my arguments against those comments (I'm about worn out in that regard), but, bottom line, I believe this may well be our last chance to reclaim our republic. We cannot survive even four years of 'leadership' under the likes of Barack Obama.
And for 'conservatives' to hesitate about supporting this ticket is suicidal, for our party (or what's left of it), our republic, and (literally) our children.
Thank you, as always, for all that you do in your crusade to expose the liars and make the truth known.
Blessings to you and your family, dear FRiend ...

Sadly enough, at the cost of millions of lives (not to mention billions of dollars).

Thanks for the ping!
Take a step back, and what you see is that Marxism - or any other totalist worldview - is nothing more than a vehicle for the exercise of absolute power.
Folks, history - particularly that of the last century - is all too clear as to the outcomes produced by those who do manage to acquire total control over the apparatus of the State. You know what I’m talking about.
The Gramscian praxis - chaos and conquer - is playing out before our eyes. The Obama-worshippers have no idea what they are ushering into being. They’re the merely ignorant. The ones who DO know what they’re doing - they are sociopaths at best and unempowered mass murderers looking for their big break at worst.
So what are we to do when it all comes down and the Man On The White Horse rides in to ‘save’ us all? How can we prevent this and in so doing alter the course of history? We do know that individuals can and have determined the flow of history. Where is the inflection point? Where d owe apply the lever? When do we shrug?
And how dearly will we sell our lives?

Thanks Jeff and Joanie for a nice summary. Byron York’s piece in the National Review was excellent (it’s one of Joanie’s links).
Interesting to look at the California news today. The Governator is going to veto the budget, which as he says doesn’t take into account that the state is not taking in enough money to pay for all the programs it’s running.
That’s our best case scenario, with McCain in office. Some focus can be brought on the spending side by veto. In California, it’s not going to matter though: the Dems have enough votes to override. We may be in that situation in the Congress too, a little early to say.
We know that with Pelosi, Reid and Obama in there we have three of the most socialist politicians running things since FDR. Look for FDR 2 under their leadership.
Denizens of the left think that’s a great idea! They can’t wait for another FDR. The continue with the incorrect notion that he was our greatest modern President (despite having trampled on the Constitution in ways that Bush has never even dreamed of).
No one is pointing out that Fannie and Freddie are just failed socialist enterprises. One created by FDR and one by LBJ, their failure should have been understood as the final warning for the structural unsoundness of much of liberal socialism in America. Medicare and Medicaid, another pair of FDR/LBJ twins are equally unsound, and their failure will make the Fannie and Freddie look like a drop in the ocean in comparison.
We need a top-to-bottom cleansing of our politics. We need to get rid of the top heavy insiders who control everything - the people who have given millions to Obama and other legislators, both Democrat and Republican.
Whether or not McCain can be that person is unknown. That Obama can not an will not is obvious. Therefore so is our choice, despite the many misgivings that I and others on FR feel over McCain’s checkered history in the Senate.
Thanks again for the essay and note.
There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations, and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. Besides, sir, we have no election. If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston! The war is inevitable--and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come.
It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace-- but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!
Americans are generous and strong and decent, not because we believe in ourselves, but because we hold beliefs beyond ourselves. When this spirit of citizenship is missing, no government program can replace it. When this spirit is present, no wrong can stand against it.
After the Declaration of Independence was signed, Virginia statesman John Page wrote to Thomas Jefferson: ``We know the race is not to the swift nor the battle to the strong. Do you not think an angel rides in the whirlwind and directs this storm?''
Much time has passed since Jefferson arrived for his inauguration. The years and changes accumulate. But the themes of this day he would know: our nation's grand story of courage and its simple dream of dignity.
We are not this story's author, who fills time and eternity with his purpose. Yet his purpose is achieved in our duty, and our duty is fulfilled in service to one another.
Never tiring, never yielding, never finishing, we renew that purpose today, to make our country more just and generous, to affirm the dignity of our lives and every life.
This work continues. This story goes on. And an angel still rides in the whirlwind and directs this storm.
