More like apocalypse now
“The idea was that if people were starving and the only way to eat was to accept government cheese, rather than starve, the masses would agree to what they would otherwise reject.”
One critical aspect these clowns forgot tto take into account: WHO makes the cheese?
I.e. if everyone is forced onto the dole, then there are no farmers left to produce the milk and/or to make the cheese. F’n Idealistic short-sighted morons........
WHEN that doesn't work........you guess.
I don’t see how one could say this is not working very much as planned.
That's a gamble as risky as the bet by a handful of hotheaded southern states that secession would result in, at worst, a short war which most of the nation did not have the stomach to fight.
This can't last.
I do think Obama sees himself more as Lincoln than as FDR.
Eliminating the wage slavery of capitalism could justify, in his mind, the same type of conflict that justified the end of chattel slavery in the mind of Lincoln.
We are at a point where the number of people that work for a living are outnumbered by the number of people that vote for a living.
It is multi-sourced, appealing to both compulsion driven neurotics seeking uniformity of the human condition, and to demagogues like Robespierre, Marx, Lenin, Hitler & Obama, who see the Egalitarian compulsion & the play on the basest of human emotions, as a key to the aggrandizement of self--a key to the ability to strut as the "Leader."
I have, today, posted as the August feature at the Truth Based Logic Domain, Egalitarian Collectivism Sabotages The Human Potential.
Having challenged these malevolent poseurs ever since my own school days, it is my experience, that they are the ultimate pseudo-intellectual bullies. They mislead & intimidate trusting undergraduates, but never debate those who actually understand what is involved. My prayer is that America will yet wake up to the fact that no one--absolutely no one, but demagogues & scoundrels--actually benefits from what has been going on.

Even Jeff Immelt can see what’s coming. His company, General Electric, just pulled an Ayn Rand “Shrug”, and is moving another division(including the profits/taxes and jobs)offshore.
It doesn’t look like many of us will ever be truly happy again, not in this life.
Obama, his democrats, the RINOs, the gutless republicans, Obama voters, Obama owned media, the traitor libs and many other power hungry greedy bastards have ruined this country.
The pain, anguish, insecurity, hate and most of the other negatives we are experiencing today....... NEVER had to happen.
BUT.......... it is, what it is.
So, will tens of millions of patriots rise from the ashes and fight for our country? I don’t think so anymore.
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.”
Ronald Reagan
40th president of US (1911 - 2004)
—President Reagan was right and we are living those ~days of regret~ that he so clearly warned us about.
Sounds darn familiar to me.
I think it’s more prosaic than that. It’s an enlarged version of an old Mafia tactic — just the biggest ‘organized-crime bust-out’ (Google that) in history.
Just like the colonists who opposed King George III, (and with MUCH MORE at stake) Americans need to show some ‘solidarity’.
Maybe, all the electricians, bus drivers, engineers, nurses, carpenters, phone co. workers, power plant workers, dock workers, cab drivers, managers, clerks, mail men... etc. can get the blue flu on the same day and stay ‘sick’ until the “prez” gets the point.
It’s hard to feel sorry for “the rich”.
They pretty much support Obama and his liberal horde.
We have connected the dots running from The Frankfurt School through Cloward and Piven to Saul Alinsky and to his posthumous acolyte, Barak Obama. We have argued from the beginning that Barack Obama is an ideologue and it misconceives our adversary to dismiss him as an incompetent. If our thesis is correct it misdirects our efforts to tell the electorate that they should not believe the evidence of their own eyes. The fact of the matter is that Obama makes a very presidential appearance and, if necessary, he can perform more than adequately without teleprompters.
The condition of the country is the results of his ideology not his incompetence.
More importantly, this characterization of the man, even if arrived at belatedly properly appraises us of the nature of our enemy and forces us to face the hard reality that there can never be any decent accommodation of any sort with him. He must he be defeated and his ideology must be destroyed. If not, he and his ideology will destroy us.
If our Republican paladins in the house had had a better understanding of the man, perhaps they would have negotiated differently. Perhaps they will pay attention to the American Thinker as they did not give heed to our warnings.
