Bingo! Call It Communism

I once wrote that we could play "Communist Manifesto Bingo": once President Obama enacts or strengthens five planks from the Communist Manifesto, yell "bingo" and you win. One month into President Obama's first term, BINGO!

I did change my own game rules just a tad. Instead of using the exact planks from Marx, which can be ambiguous for some people, I'm using a more detailed list from the current Communist Party USA. The CPUSA provides its platform on its website . Find "Election 2008" and go to "Click here to download PDF." I saved you the trouble, though, and listed the CPUSA's platform in a nice outline, below.

(Just for you anti-conspiracy buffs, note that I am not dredging up Marx himself, or something written by an anti-communist decades ago. I am citing the exact words of the Communist Party of the USA itself, as it exists right now. I encourage you to visit the CPUSA's web site. Obama's presidency is animating for them; the excitement vibrates through almost every article. The National Chair calls it a "new era." I'm not making this up.)

After Communism Bingo, can we play my new game? Newspaper Dead Pool?

As I said in another comment yesterday:

This is really all quite easy to understand once we realize that Obama is a committed anti-American communist who’s following the same plan Lenin in the Soviet Union and Mugabe in Zimbabwe followed. The purpose of the massive, unsustainable spending is primarily to set off a horrific inflation that will destroy all private wealth. Simultaneously, this is accompanied by a direct attack on those industries (fossil based and nuclear power production here, industrial farming in Zimbabwe) that are most necessary for individual prosperity and national strength. The end results and objectives are that we will be unable to defend ourselves, the people will look to the government for their livelihoods, and the government will control the smallest aspect of each person’s life.
