American politics just keeps getting more polarized. Be assured that Obama wants it that way. I argue in Radical-in-Chief that Obama's long-term hope is to divide America along class lines (roughly speaking, tax payers versus tax beneficiaries). Obama's attack on the Supreme Court at his 2010 State of the Union address, his offensive against the Chamber of Commerce, his exhortation to Hispanics to punish their enemies, and several similar moves were all efforts to jump-start a populist movement of the left. Like his socialist organizing mentors, Obama believes that a country polarized along class lines will eventually realign American politics sharply to the left. Yet the entire strategy is based on the need for an activated, populist movement of the left. So far, Obama has failed to create such a movement. His expensive economic agenda has provoked a populist counter-movement of the right instead: Obama's nightmare.
Now, however, Obama may belatedly be getting his wish. The very success of the Tea Party is calling forth an opposing movement of the left. Obama's exhortations may have failed to polarize the country along class lines, but his policies have finally provoked the long-sought battle. The once-dormant legions of Obama's group, Organizing for America, have now been activated. This is the moment they were created for.

A lot of things are polarizing America. One of them is people like the One who hates people for the color of their skin, as a proxy for “oppressor” versus “oppressed.” Or slave-owner versus slave.
He had better get over things that happened long before he and I were born.
He can’t get over it. He has no moral foundation, so in his mind, he must manufacture a foundation to build his world view around. That’s how leftists think (or don’t think as it were).
Many of the American people are blind to the fact that communism and socialism are on the rise in our country. They, mistakenly, thought it was dead after the McCarthy era. One of these days, not far off, we will see a Republican Party, a Democrat Party and a Communist Party. Unless communism is outlawed in our country and unless socialism is shown for what it is, we will continue to fight this battle. Look at all the communist organizations that go by different names that we have to contend with today. These organizations need to be abolished, once and for all. Our politicians, at all levels, need to be exposed at to their affiliation to these organizations and removed from office. It’s time to step up and address this.
Good post, thanks. The union activated activity in WI is a dry run for reelection ‘12. I think this is a bit premature and will do more to harm the left than assist BO’s campaign. But I remain dubious of the ability of the R congress to get tough on spending and also fight against the regulatory strangulation that business expansion is facing.
The goal is to polarize America into opposing classes.
yep.
What we have is a Tea Party which is not really a party at all.. its a Caucus..
So the various parties cannot attack it as a competitor..
The TpCaucus is GROWING, growing , growing.. (jaws theme)..
The Unions are trying to jump the Shark.. but the shark is too smart..
The Shark is circling George Soros too..
The polarization of America began in earnest with the MSM media and liberal pundants having to defend slick willie’s indiscretions.
What would be the downside if someone “took out” George Soros?
Interesting question..
The answer is: 1) all the stuff he could tell us about what he has been doing and 2) what he knows about other mischief going on.. 3) and the "dirt" he has on many under his control and other people influenced by him.. 4) AND information he could "give" to destroy the mischief he has already has control of..
Killing him would be a waste.. better that he just "disappear" in a boat accident "or something".. like that..
Something to do with water... perhaps a “boarding”?
