“You folks are quick to jump into the life of an Average Joe who questions Barack Obama, but you willfully ignore all of Obama’s radical friends! What’s your agenda?”

A $10 million ad buy based on this theme, one that manages to raise the whole "21st Century/Digital Brownshirt" specter without violating Godwin's law, could be very effective.

Oooh, I like it! I’m certain they would refuse to air it, though.

This plumber "flushed out" the socialistic philosophy of Barack Obama and captured the attention of ordinary Americans by his candor. That's why the MSM and Democrats will try to ridicule him like they have Palin.

He caught Obama in an unguarded moment, and the usually unflappable, cool facade dropped, and we saw the ugly message of every socialist regime--redistribution of wealth from those who earn it to those who do not--all in order to accrue power to themselves.

It is the very definition of tyranny, and America's Founders decided against it over 200 years ago. Their choice was for private enterprise, private property rights, liberty for individuals, and limits on government power.

This book is the work of Satan.

And nothing hurts Satan more than the light of day.

Thus, references to the book is an extremely good thing.

“He also has never served an apprenticeship and does not belong to the union.

Plumber: You must heed my words to enter the union and master your destiny, young apprentice.

Apprentice: Yes, Master Plumber, I shall heed your words.

Plumber: As was foretold by the ancients: "Water flows downhill."

Apprentice: You are truly wise, Master Plumber.

My apologies if this is a dupe for you, but trying to spark things-—here’s an idea from another thread on holding Joe the Plumber bake sales:

Now if they would only turn such scrupulous attention toward That One.

One of John McCain's funnier lines at last night's Al Smith dinner:

". . .a man known to Oprah Winfrey as The One. Being a friend and colleague of Barack, I just called him 'that one.' Friends, he doesn't mind at all; in fact, he even has a pet name for me: George Bush."

redistribution of wealth

Actually, Obama is NOT for redistribution of wealth - not yet. If he were, his rich friends might no be so friendly.

What he's promoting is redistribution of income, which will prevent wealth from being accumulated by work.

It will solidify the current upper class and protect them from competition, while leaving their wealth untouched.

Why should Barbra Streisand have more than a million dollars? Why isn't Obama for redistributing her tens or hundreds of millions by a tax on wealth?
