“Liberal leanings? When do you think these “centrist” sheeple will discover they elected a flat-out Marxist as Leader of the Free World?” ~ nutmeg
Here’s a new 12-Step Program for them:
Apparatchiks Anonymous
1. We admitted we were powerless over the intoxicating dreams of socialism, and that our lives and governments had become unmanageable.
2. Came to believe that a power far greater than our own omnipotent little egoic dreams of control could restore us to true liberalism.
3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the Creator and Guarantor of our Liberty.
4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of the well-intentioned failures and frank evils of socialism.
5. Admitted to the Creator of our Liberty, to ourselves, and in a live phone call to C-SPAN the exact nature of socialism’s wrongs.
6. Were entirely ready to have the Creator of Our Liberty remove all these defects of ideology.
7. Humbly asked Him to cancel our subscription to the Times.
8. Made a list of all races, genders, and classes we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all by realizing that these constructs are irrelevant.
9. Made direct amends to such people by switching parties.
10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were again tempted to abuse ideology for the purposes of blotting out reality, promptly admitted it.
11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with the Source of our Liberty, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.
12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to other Leftists, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.
In conclusion...[...]http://onecosmos.blogspot.com/2006/12/announcing-new-12-step-program-for.html
VERY KEY POINT:
They’re not afraid of his liberal leanings, nor of the leftist orientation of the budget itself.
They’re worried that the budget REVEALS his liberalness.
Sic Semper Leftist - this is always their way, to implement their agenda by stealth and deception.
The spread of evil is the symptom of a vacuum.
Whenever evil wins, it is only by default:
by the moral failure of those who evade the fact
that there can be no compromise on basic principles.

“The only thing more scary than Obama’s experiment is the thought that it might fail and the political power will swing over to a Republican Party that is currently unfit to wield it.... [We] thus find ourselves facing a void. We moderates are going to have to assert ourselves. We’re going to have to take a centrist tendency that has been politically feckless and intellectually vapid and turn it into an influential force.”
I knew there was a reason I never liked David Brooks.
It’s because he’s a moron.
He’s really just in favor of the status quo: he’s frightened by bambi’s push to the left, just as he’s frightened by an imagined counter-pull to the right. “Pull to the right” means “MORE economic freedom for the individual and greater wealth production resulting in increased economic progress for the country”...Brooks fears that.
He knows very little. The interventionist “status quo” was unsustainable. Government intervention, by its nature, must fail to achieve its objectives, even from the standpoint of its proponents. To counter the negative, unintended consquences of regulation, proponents are forced, by the logic of the situation, to advocate yet MORE regulation. The correct course of action, needless to say, would be to abolish the original regulation.
This is the significance, I believe, of our present crisis: it represents the inevitable and logical working out of a set of premises and assumptions about the relationship between “government” and “the individual” that would have occurred eventually even under “moderate” conservative leadership. “Moderately conservative” means “moderately committed to freedom.” There are no intellectually compelling arguments for such a position, which is the reason Brooks complains about not having a voice — others like him were swayed long ago either by the arguments from the consistent left or the consistent right.
The middle is unsustainable, being governed mainly by fear of any change at all, even change for the better.
Liberal? How about Marxist dictator?
He just finding that out? He must have head his head stuck down in the sand.”
Too little——too late
"and may engineer so much spending, debt, and government control of the economy as to leave most Americans permanently less prosperous and less free. "
Another one. Only too late again. They only learn when it's too late. We warned this would happen.
Thanks for the ping!
“THe a**holes who thought Obama was a centrist - including most of the GOP - deserve to live in a marxist hell. They are fortunate that conservatives may save them from that fate. At least we are trying to do so.”
well, we’ve been calling him a socialist and they didn’t believe us. They’d say: “well, you did the same thing with Clinton and accused him of every murder in Arkansas and nothing came out of it. He turned out to be not so bad.” So there’s a bit of “Boy who cried wolf” here.
Does anyone take Stuart Taylor seriously?
Words fail me. Anyone who didn’t see this coming is an idiot.
Actually, it worked. After he tried ramming socialized medicine down our throats, we won back congress for the first time in 40 years. Clinton was shrewd enough - and distracted enough - to hide some of his marxist tendencies after that.
I believe FDR deliberately took advantage of the American people's misery to introduce his Marxist/socialist programs, and BarryO is now doing the same thing to further implement FDR's power grab except on a far grander scale than FDR ever dreamed possible. If he succeeds, and with another compliant Democrat Congress comparable to those in FDR's day backing him I don't doubt that he will, the US will become a Marxist/socialist nation similar to Euro nations like Sweden. That is, like Sweden except for much less freedom for everyone but the wealthy liberal elite, Hollywood trash, and the fawning media who worship the ground BarryO stands on.
Yep,and there are a lot more than just three. In fact, I believe there are many more Rinos in Congress than there are real conservatives.
So sit down and shut up.
Yeah-I was afraid, too.
That’s why I voted against him in Nov.and prayed to God he wouldn’t win.
These “centrist” morons are now locking the barn after the horses are gone.
