UC Berkeley Grad Michael Savage Rips Obama in New Book

Conservative radio host Michael Savage, who holds a Ph.D in epidemiology and nutritional science from UC Berkeley and whose show airs weekday afternoons on San Francisco's XTRA Sports 860, has scored a publishing deal with HarperCollins for a book that promises to — well, savage the current administration.

Set for an October 5 release and ambitious print run of 400,000 copies, Trickle Up Poverty: Stopping Obama's Attack on our Borders, Economy, and Security avows that "a revolution is brewing. Americans are boiling mad over the way Congress and this Marxist/Leninist-oriented President are manipulating the current economic crisis to nationalize businesses," reads a HC promo. "They’re steamed over the fraud science used to support global warming — which is nothing more than a gigantic Ponzi scheme. They’re watching their life savings evaporate while the President saddles them with $3.6 trillion in new debt.

Good news. The East Bay Express needs to stay in business somehow. Why not highlight a new book by a popular author? Savage is brilliant.

It will be on my reading list when it appears.

My question is this:

Where are all the other conservative pundits? Why hasn’t Hannity, for example, published a book savaging zerobama? Where’s Levin? Where’s Monica Crowley or Laura Ingraham?

I got this in the e-mail this weekend.
If this is not a set-up for a world govt. I do not see another way.

WAYNE ALLYN ROOT:

Overwhelm the system

WAYNE ALLYN ROOT

Barach Obama is no fool. He is not incompetent. To the contrary, he is brilliant. He knows exactly what he’s doing. He is purposely overwhelming the U.S. economy to create systemic failure, economic crisis and social chaos — thereby destroying capitalism and our country from within.

Barack Obama is my college classmate ( ColumbiaUniversity , class of ‘83). As Glenn Beck correctly predicted from day one, Obama is following the plan of Cloward & Piven, two professors at ColumbiaUniversity . They outlined a plan to socialize America by overwhelming the system with government spending and entitlement demands. Add up the clues below. Taken individually they’re alarming. Taken as a whole, it is a brilliant, Machiavellian game plan to turn the United States into a socialist/Marxist state with a permanent majority that desperately needs government for survival ... and can be counted on to always vote for bigger government.

Why not? They have no responsibility to pay for it.— Universal health care. The health care bill had very little to do with health care. It had everything to do with unionizing millions of hospital and health care workers, as well as adding 15,000 to 20,000 new IRS agents (who will join government employee unions).

Obama doesn’t care that giving free health care to 30 million Americans will add trillions to the national debt. What he does care about is that it cements the dependence of those 30 million voters to Democrats and big government.

Who but a socialist revolutionary would pass this reckless spending bill in the middle of a depression?— Cap and trade. Like health care legislation having nothing to do with health care, cap and trade has nothing to do with global warming.

It has everything to do with redistribution of income, government control of the economy and a criminal payoff to Obama’s biggest contributors. Those powerful and wealthy unions and contributors (like GE, which owns NBC, MSNBC and CNBC) can then be counted on to support everything Obama wants. They will kick-back hundreds of millions of dollars in contributions to Obama and the Democratic Party to keep them in power.

The bonus is that all the new taxes on Americans with bigger cars, bigger homes and businesses helps Obama “spread the wealth around.”— Make Puerto Rico a state. Why? Who’s asking for a 51st state? Who’s asking for millions of new welfare recipients and government entitlement addicts in the middle of a depression? Certainly not American taxpayers. But this has been Obama’s plan all along.

His goal is to add two new Democrat senators, five Democrat congressman and a million loyal Democratic voters who are dependent on big government.— Legalize 12 million illegal immigrants. Just giving these 12 million potential new citizens free health care alone could overwhelm the system and bankrupt America . But it adds 12 million reliable new Democrat voters who can be counted on to support big government. Add another few trillion dollars in welfare, aid to dependent children, food stamps, free medical, education, tax credits for the poor, and eventually Social Security.— Stimulus and bailouts.

Where did all that money go? It went to Democrat contributors, organizations (ACORN), and unions — including billions of dollars to save or create jobs of government employees across the country. It went to save GM and Chrysler so that their employees could keep paying union dues. It went to AIG so that Goldman Sachs could be bailed out (after giving Obama almost $1 million in contributions). A staggering $125 billion went to teachers (thereby protecting their union dues). All those public employees will vote loyally Democrat to protect their bloated salaries and pensions that are bankrupting America . The country goes broke, future generations face a bleak future, but Obama, the Democrat Party, government, and the unions grow more powerful. The ends justify the means.— Raise taxes on small business owners, high-income earners, and job creators.

Put the entire burden on only the top 20 percent of taxpayers, redistribute the income, punish success, and reward those who did nothing to deserve it (except vote for Obama). Reagan wanted to dramatically cut taxes in order to starve the government. Obama wants to dramatically raise taxes to starve his political opposition.With the acts outlined above, Obama and his regime have created a vast and rapidly expanding constituency of voters dependent on big government; a vast privileged class of public employees who work for big government; and a government dedicated to destroying capitalism and installing themselves as socialist rulers by overwhelming the system.

Add it up and you’ve got the perfect Marxist scheme — all devised by my ColumbiaUniversity college classmate Barack Obama using the Cloward and Piven Plan.

Certainly looks like end times scenario.

trickle-up-poverty, that’s a great phrase to use in debates

Hannity skewers Obama in his last book.

Beck does too.

Have never had a doubt about the Marxist scheme to 'devolve' America. Do doubt, however, that Obama was the chief and genius 'divisor' per utilization of Cloward/Piven.

Rather, see Obama as the man 'chosen' (Obama prefers, of course to be the 'chosen man') until he was able to be fully raised up/suited up; and sent out to capture the Presidency by way of a 'magic act' MO - a 'magic' that easily meshes with Cloward/Piven.

Obama had only to capture the imagination of his audience - soon to be 'disciples'. After that, the deception was easy. When imagination is captured; rational judgment is suspended. (Certainly explains the MO of Liberalism.)

Add to that, the Obama 'image' that did fire up America's imagination while assuaging Liberal guilt; and even non-Lib, 'white guilt'. This man spoke in 'tongues'; his audience 'heard' him - and,amazingly; it was what they wanted to hear. . .

All said; the hardest part is the easiest part. The 'whole show' continues; the sleight-of-hand - the tricks - the smoke and mirrors. . .the willing believers. . .

****************

Teller of magician's "Penn and Teller" shares magic wisdom:

The core of a successful trick is an interesting and beautiful idea," he said, "that taps into something that you would like to have happen. One of the things we do in our live show is I squeeze handfuls of water and they turn into cascades of money. That's an interesting and beautiful idea.

"The deception is really secondary," Teller said. "The idea is first, because the idea needs to capture your imagination."

******************

(Teller's trick is to squeeze water. Obama, instead, squeezes our Banks; our automobile industry; our families. . .our bank accounts; our mortgages; schools and students loans and of course, our oil industry. Obama, has the 'imagination and deception down'; this trick, however, is 'on' us - at our expense; but he does get the money.)

What a time we live in. I knew when I saw his preacher on tv that this guy is warped. 20 years in same church. He said never heard that talk. I go to interfaith churchs. Not once did I ever hear a reverend say G-d damn on the pulpit. I never bought this guy. Now he has the ability to do more damage than any other president. Heaven help us!

Yes, it was all pretty simple to recognize who Obama was. Even his history had him marked - before he showed up with ex Nation of Islam Wright - whom we know, he was simpatico with (both Wright and NOI, for that matter).

And yes, 'heaven help us'. . .but God need hearts; minds. . .and helpful; willing hands, as well. Do hope - and we must - stop the bleed in November.

Speaking of a damning 'bleed'. . .the open wound of an out of control oil well and the damage so caused; is certainly a good metaphor for Obama's Presidency.

(A slightly different take; on 'as above'. . .so below. . ./sigh)

Looking forward to this book. Love listening to the Savage Nation too, much much better than Hannity or Beck.
