Janice Rogers Brown Nails the Marxists - (she dared say it! NY Times & liberals aghast!)

NEWSMAX.COM ^ | JUNE 15, 2005 | PHIL BRENNAN

[CHARLITE]

Goodness gracious, she dared say it and the New York Times – the voice of collectivism in the U.S. – and all its Marxist allies are aghast. An appointee to the federal judiciary, no less, dared to describe the New Deal for what it was: a socialist revolution.

For this egregious offense she must be pilloried and cast into the outer darkness inhabited by those who offend the mighty Times, whose omniscience must never be questioned and before whom all right-thinking Americans must cower in humble obeisance.

In retribution for her lese majeste, Justice Janice Rogers Brown – now, by the grace of God, President Bush and a small majority of United States senators, a member of the Federal Court of Appeals in the District of Columbia – has been subjected to a campaign of slander and misrepresentation by the Times and a motley crew of Marxist groups fearful that Justice Brown and her like-minded colleagues will work to undo decades of judicial misrule they aided and abetted.

In October 2003, when Justice Brown was first nominated by President Bush, the Times went berserk, writing that "of the many unworthy judicial nominees President Bush has put forward, Janice Rogers Brown is among the very worst."

The daughter of a black sharecropper in the deep South is, in the Times' view, "an archconservative justice on the California Supreme Court, [who] "has declared war on the mainstream [read Marxist] legal values" the Blue State Times in its deep understanding of our Red State values tells us "most Americans hold dear."

Shockingly, Janice Rogers Brown lets "ideology be her guide in deciding cases and has "made it clear in her public pronouncements how extreme her views are." To wit: She "attacked the New Deal, which gave us Social Security and other programs now central to American life, as 'the triumph of our socialist revolution.'"

Writing in the Pittsburgh Tribune Review, columnist Colin McNickle took a look at a recent Times story by one David D. Kirkpatrick about Justice Brown mockingly headlined "Seeing slavery in liberalism."

McNickle noted that the Times quoted Brown as remarking:

"In the heyday of liberal democracy, all roads lead to slavery."

"We no longer find slavery abhorrent. We embrace it."

"If we can invoke no ultimate limits on the power of government, a democracy is inevitably transformed into a kleptocracy – a license to steal, a warrant for oppression."

Wrote McNickle, "In the first two quotes, Rogers Brown obviously is talking about how liberal social policies foster not independence but dependence and how they usually have the exact opposite effect of their promoter's 'beneficent' purposes.

"In the third quote, she's obviously talking about government as a maniacal Leviathan, and a leviathan with no constitutional warrant for most of what it does.

"Yet, Kirkpatrick quickly notes, these are precepts that liberals cited as examples of Rogers Brown's 'extremism.'

"How instructive. How sad. How frightening. Some of the fundamental building blocks of our constitutional republic are considered 'extreme' by Democrats and their liberal moneybags."

McNickle goes on to provide more extensive quotes, supplied by one William Anderson, "that had turned apoplectic the 'progressives' (i.e., socialists) at People for the American Way."

Said Brown:

"I have argued that collectivism was (and is) fundamentally incompatible with the vision that undergirded this country's founding. The New Deal, however, inoculated the federal Constitution with a kind of underground collectivist mentality. The Constitution itself was transmuted into a significantly different document."

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit."

"Where government advances – and it advances relentlessly – freedom is imperiled; community impoverished; religion marginalized and civilization itself jeopardized. ... When did government cease to be a necessary evil and become a goody bag to solve our private problems?"

"Government acts as a giant siphon, extracting wealth, creating privilege and power, and redistributing it."

And, finally, the complete second slavery quote that was truncated by The Times:

"[W]e no longer find slavery abhorrent. We embrace it. We demand more. Big government is not just the opiate of the masses. It is the opiate. The drug of choice for multinational corporations and single moms; for regulated industries and rugged Midwestern farmers and militant senior citizens."

Were James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and George Washington present to hear such words, they would have given Janice Rogers Brown a standing ovation. They would have been proud of what amounted to a ringing defense of the principles embedded in the Constitution they gave us – the document the Marxists realize that, as originally written, stands between them and the socialist government they want to impose on us.

Make no mistake about it, the issue of Janice Rogers Brown and her fellow constitutionalist jurists is the issue that America faces at this crucial moment in our history. It is not one of Republicans vs. Democrats, or so-called liberals vs. conservatives.

It is instead a matter of constitutional freedom vs. Marxist oppression. There is no longer a national Democratic Party dedicated to the preservation of the liberties guaranteed to all Americans by the Constitution as written by our Founding Fathers. In its place is the National Democrat Socialist Abortion Party (NSDAP) – a party now dominated by the modern-day disciples of Karl Marx and Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov (aka Nicolai Lenin) and devotees of some of the methods of Joseph Vissarionovitch Djugashvili (aka Josef Stalin), such as lying about and slandering opponents and distorting their programs and issues.

(Stalin would have roared approval of the NSDAP's slanderous attacks on John Bolton.)

The whole agenda of the NSDAP is a socialist agenda, one to which Karl Marx and his allies would give a standing ovation were they to attend a gathering of the near-manic Deaniacs who today dominate the party.

Americans need to be alarmed about this. Over the past couple of centuries tens of millions of our fellow humans have been murdered in the name of socialism. In the Soviet Union, National Socialist (Nazi) Germany, Cuba and China, the firing squads were kept busy building workers' paradises. Socialism by its very nature is coercive – people don't willingly surrender their God-given liberties to dictatorial states. In the name of "social justice" they must be forced to obey Big Brother.

As the old joke told by the inmates of the Soviet workers' paradise went, "Under Socialism you will all eat strawberries and cream." To those who protested that they did not want to eat strawberries and cream, the response was "You will eat strawberries and cream and like it. Or else."

Janice Rogers Brown recognizes the deadly toxicity of socialism's diet of strawberries and cream and its caterers, such as the New York Times, who despise and fear her for her faithfulness to the magnificent vision of the Founding Fathers and the liberties they bequeathed us.

Even if you were serious, this is impossible. The President and Vice-President cannot both be from the same state.

[SMARTY]

The MSM is more desperate all the time to portray itself as the voice of America. They are not. They only speak for that element of America which has sold itself to our enemies.

Unfortunately, there will always be a group (small, but loud) who do not understand the connection between money and the media and who have so little respect for this country that they accept the lies without question.

The MSM likes to think that they broadcast public opinion. The broadcast of information implies the preparation and consequently the ownership of information. Follow the money.

[Ichneumon]

While you'll certainly get no argument from me, you...uh...do realize that the bumpersticker for that would read "Brown/Rice"???

ROFL!!

"I have argued that collectivism was (and is) fundamentally incompatible with the vision that undergirded this country's founding.

Read how here.

[Beth528]

I hope she does gp after the RINO's.

[HarleyLady27]

So DID I know they were from the same state?????

EXCUSE ME for not looking on the map and doing a 7 year study on it.....you must be a liberal!!!

EXCUSE ME for not looking on the map and doing a 7 year study on it.....you must be a liberal!!!

I thought it was common knowledge that Rice is from California (and Brown, as formerly a CA Supreme Court justice, is also obviously from CA). Pointing out the Consitutional restriction about Electoral College voters not being allowed to cast President and VP votes for people from the same state makes me a liberal? Chill out...

[HarleyLady27]

I'm sorry I was so rude, it's not a good morning here...lol...

I knew Brown was from California, but thought Rice was from the south.... I was not aware that she was also from California.

I heard a few months ago that Rice may want to run for Governor of California when she gets finished with SofS; and wondered why there.

Now it makes sense, thanks for pointing that out to me. :)

[daviscupper]

You've got a point. I say President for eight years, then Chief Justice of the Supreme Court for life. I think she has good genes and might live to be a 105 years.

BTTT

What a great woman!

[PGalt]

Janice Rogers Brown BUMP!

[Marauder]

Free Republic helps enormously to get the truth out to "Joe Sixpacks" all over America.

I believe you're right, but another question is, will it be enough? I remember when Clinton was about to be elected in 1992, and Rush was talking to people and getting the word out via the largest talk network ever as to his Marxist tendencies, but while it may have helped, it didn't prevent the damage. Of course, Ross "Ears" Perot didn't help, either.

We have a truism in Texas about people like George Soros: Someone like that "needs killing" - not that I would if I had a chance, of course.

Thanks for your comments as well, Char. You've been making some great posts.

[so_real]

If the Dems run with Hillary, the Repubs could very likely counter with Janice. Your dream might become reality :-) Still I think a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. After all, Supreme Court vacancies don't happen every day.

enough said - get her on the Supreme Court!

do you have a source for this quote?

She is a ray of sweet sunlight for us and a death ray for the Vampire Demon-rats.

Article: "Social Justice: Code for Communism"

...yet even before that point -- before the 20th century, before publication of the [communist] Manifesto itself -- there were those who did indeed make the connection between what Marxism inherently meant on paper and what it would inevitably mean in practice. In 1844, Arnold Ruge presented the abstract: "a police and slave state." And in 1872, Michael Bakunin provided the specifics:

[T]he People's State of Marx ... will not content itself with administering and governing the masses politically, as all governments do today. It will also administer the masses economically, concentrating in the hands of the State the production and division of wealth, the cultivation of land, the establishment and development of factories, the organization and direction of commerce, and finally the application of capital to production by the only banker -- the State. All that will demand an immense knowledge and many heads "overflowing with brains" in this government. It will be the reign of scientific intelligence, the most aristocratic, despotic, arrogant, and elitist of all regimes. There will be a new class, a new hierarchy of real and counterfeit scientists and scholars, and the world will be divided into a minority ruling in the name of knowledge, and an immense ignorant majority. And then, woe unto the mass of ignorant ones!

It is precisely this "new class" that reflects the defining contradiction of modern leftist reality: The goal of complete economic equality logically enjoins the means of complete state control, yet this means has never practically achieved that end. Yes, Smith and Jones, once "socialized," are equally poor and equally oppressed, but now above them looms an [LIBERAL ELITE] oligarchy of not-to-be-equalized equalizers. The inescapable rise of this "new class" -- privileged economically as well as politically, never quite ready to "wither away" -- forever destroys the possibility of a "classless" society. Here the lesson of socialism teaches what should have been learned from the lesson of pre-liberal despotism -- that state coercion is a means to no end but its own. Far from expanding equality from the political to the economic realm, the pursuit of "social justice" serves only to contract it within both. There will never be any kind of equality -- or real justice -- as long as a socialist elite stands behind the trigger while the rest of us kneel before the barrel.
