How Close Are We to Marxism?

Barack Obama never has come out and actually said that he is a Marxist. Marxists seldom do, during their revolutions, not until they are in FULL control of a Government. Fidel Castro did not announce that he was a Communist until a few months after his conquest of Cuba. However, that philosophy constantly exudes from everything Obama says in the political arena of economic theory.

Marxist Rob Sewell’s essay on Marxism:

“Just as the emerging bourgeoisie in its revolution against feudal society challenged the conservative ideas of the old feudal aristocracy, so the working class, in its fight for a new society, needs to challenge the dominant outlook of its own oppressor, the capitalist class. Of course, the ruling class, through its monopoly control of the mass media, the press, school, university and pulpit, consciously justifies its system of exploitation as the most ‘natural form of society’....”

An opposing point of view:

“Thank you, Barack Obama! You strayed off your carefully prefabricated script and let voters glimpse the real you more than at any time since you let slip your desire to “spread the wealth around” when you bumped into ”Joe the plumber” four years ago.
“Your public comments in Roanoke on July 13—“If you’ve got a business—you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen”—were truly astounding. Mitt Romney called your remarks ‘insulting.’ A friend of mine used the word “ignorant.” Both are correct, but I would add another adjective: Marxist.....”

Conclusion:

Now go back to the essay by Rob Sewell. It doesn’t take a lot of intellect to see the contradictions in his theory. Capitalism DOES NOT own the press. Obama’s supporters do. Nor do they own any of the other institutions mentioned in the above paragraph. His supporters not only own the schools, they own the school of thought of Marxism, expounded by the unionized teachers and displayed in their support of Obama. Nor do capitalists own the pulpit. To debunk Sewell, all you have to do is sit through the sermons of almost any young Catholic priest, and the sermons of some protestants, particularly Jeremiah Wright. The blatant falsity of Sewell’s statement that capitalists own the universities is self-debunking when you consider that nearly all modern Marxists, including Obama, are products of the universities. We must conclude that the nation is closer to Marxist Government than we may have thought.

A Method to Obama Madness

“Though this be madness, yet there is method in't.”
(Aside quote by Polonius in Hamlet Act 2, scene 2.)

Recently, we all heard Obama’s “soothing” message to reassure his 47% that he will see to it that “...everyone has a shot.”

Those of us who have ignored the media hype that Obama is “handsome” and “articulate” have been noticing that neither is true; especially if you believe the validity of the old adage: "Pretty is as pretty does." The fallacious claim of Obama “articulacy” is more obvious—at least to those loyal to the Mother Tongue. In recent years, about 47% of the listeners’ aptitude in the English has been stunted by declining public education and by socialists’ and media promises of economic security to the masses, regardless of merit or individual performance.

Obama frequently displays his ineptitude in the idiomatic expressions in our national language, even though his accent isn't all that bad. Let’s take a close look at that phrase. By “everyone” he is reassuring his inveterate constituency of 47%, but he goes on to say that he represents “all Americans.” In one sense, as chief executive, that is true, to the detriment of those embedded in the remaining 53% who want to remain self-reliant; those who still believe in the work ethic.
But his phraseology, “everyone has a shot...,” deserves much more scrutiny than meets the eye.

Ineptitude in English sometimes works to the advantage of the speaker. His less-than-astute constituency may think they heard something that they did not hear, perhaps, “Everyone has an even break.” The only time I have heard the phrase where “everyone gets a shot” was at a turkey shoot where riflemen were trying to shoot the heads off turkeys at about 500 yards to win a turkey and money prize. The turkeys get more than their share of the “shots,” and that could be a possible image that Obama’s statement conveyed to those who are at odds with his socialist agenda.

So, where is the “method” to the madness? Ironically, ambiguous, contrived and misused, phrases sometimes serve those who utter them. They can be useful as an “out” when a statement comes back to bite them; they can always claim that they were “misinterpreted.” To those of us who have made a long-term study of Obama, his “shot,” means socio-economic equality, guaranteed in a perpetual “redistribution” of the wealth of this nation, from cradle to grave. It means an egalitarian society where each contributes according to his ability and receives according to her need. It is called Marxism.

One factor that upstart, adherents to Marxism always ignore is that it requires a police state. Human kind is naturally creative and competitive, and the species does not easily submit to enforced mediocrity.



The 47% Demarcation Line

There was nothing hidden about what Governor Romney said in the tape. He was speaking to a large audience, not some secret society, and he knew that it was being recorded. It was not whispered, oblivious to an open mike, like Obama’s promise to Russian President, Medvedev, that after he is re-elected, he will have more flexibility in weakening our defenses against Russian missiles.

Governor Romney simply defined the battle line, the 47% marker, which everybody already knows. Among other important factors, this election is about how soon, or whether, we become a socialist nation. This hype about the tape is just another ploy by the mainstream media to divert focus to something extraneous to the issue of the economy. Ironically, the Romney speech, made in 1998, is as germane to the issues of today's economy as it was in 1998. The mainstream media and Democrat strategists know that a non-issue is as good as a real issue to keep their entitlement-oriented constituency scared and in lockstep with their agenda. They also know that most of that 47%, cannot separate chaff from substance.

Hopefully, Romney can re-inspire those with a work ethic, those who believe in self-reliance, and bring about a re-birth of the spirit of free enterprise in this country. The creators of wealth, contrary to what Obama believes, are not slaves of the Government. Many are poised to move the remainder of their factories abroad if Obama wins re-election--to circumvent his re-distribution of their wealth—before he issues another executive order freezing exportation of more factories abroad. Seemingly, Obama recently facilitated them by signing the most recent free trade agreement with Korea, Peru and other third world countries; but perhaps he is astute enough to know that more unemployed, poor people are a temporary boon to his political agenda. However, capitalists know that political strategy changes from day to day, and they may have to move quickly.

To the ignorant, be advised that everyone can pay the same tax rate as Governor Romney if they risk their money in investments that create jobs and grow the economy. It's right there on your Form 1040, titled "capital gains," and it also displays the lower (about 15%) tax rate that capitalists pay. Governor Romney hides nothing. The Secretary of the Treasury and the Senate Finance Committee Chairman are both Obama appointees. They know exactly how much tax Governor Romney pays, and trust me, if he cheated, they would come after him.

The End of the Good Times

If we believe the polls, Obama is going to be re-elected.

An Obama re-election means that there are more consumers than producers. The Obama promise to "redistribute the wealth" in the U.S. does not take cognizance of the fact that wealth producers are not slaves of the state. The USSR and Russia learned that lesson the hard way, after a disastrous 70-year experiment.

Industrialists are watching this election closely and they are poised to move their remaining factories to foreign countries if Obama is re-elected.

The work ethic that made America great is dangling by a thread. The takers are now the majority and the taxpayers are the minority. Obama and Fed Chief Bernanke think that they can produce more wealth by printing up more paper money. Economists know that the value of money must be based on goods and services produced by people who believe in the work ethic. Those people are a dying breed in America.

Sequestration Begins January2

Some of us with knowledge of history and knowledge that history inevitably repeats itself are preparing for possible civil unrest, beginning January 2, 2013. We have been predicting the “day of reckoning” for many years, and it seems to be on the horizon. One Senator, Lindsey Graham, already wants to kick the can further down the road and postpone our showdown with our economic destiny.
However, the law requiring huge automatic budget cuts is called “sequestration,” and economic Armageddon seems to be waiting for whoever is elected President in November.

In fact, the winner may wish that he had lost. The automatic cuts were demanded by our creditors, including China. Since Obama was elected, our credit rating has been reduced by the International banks several unprecedented times and we pay more for credit, adding to our national debt.

“On Jan. 2, approximately $54.5 billion in new spending cuts will hit the Pentagon while domestic programs will suffer an equal $54.5 billion in reductions. All of the cuts would be jammed into the nine remaining months of the fiscal year that ends Sept. 30, 2013, deepening the pain.”

“WASHINGTON (AP)— It didn't take long for the Internet to start buzzing with conspiracy theories after the Social Security Administration posted a notice that it was purchasing 174,000 hollow-point bullets.
“Why is the agency that provides benefits to retirees, disabled workers, widows and children stockpiling ammunition? Whom are they going to use it on?
"It's not outlandish to suggest that the Social Security Administration is purchasing the bullets as part of preparations for civil unrest," the website Infowars.com said.
“Another website, The Daily Caller, said the bullets must be for use against American citizens, "since the SSA has never been used overseas to help foreign countries maintain control of their citizens."

Government problems tend to come in bunches. We can expect some pipsqueak countries, like Iran, for example, to think that they can take advantage of America’s weakened military and political position to try to wipe out Israel, or we may see another domestic terror attack.(There are still 100 missing suitcase-size atomic bombs missing that were sold by a rogue KGB agent shortly before the collapse of the USSR.)

Will Obama's Nobel Peace Prize be Taken Away?

“STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP)— Nobel Peace Prize officials were facing a formal inquiry over accusations they have drifted away from the prize's original selection criteria by choosing such winners as President Barack Obama, as the nomination deadline for the 2012 awards closed Wednesday.
The investigation comes after persistent complaints by a Norwegian peace researcher that the original purpose of the prize was to diminish the role of military power in international relations.
If the Stockholm County Administrative Board, which supervises foundations in Sweden's capital, finds that prize founder Alfred Nobel's will is not being honored, it has the authority to suspend award decisions going back three years — though that would be unlikely and unprecedented, said Mikael Wiman, a legal expert working for the county...”

http://news.yahoo.com/nobel-peace-prize-jury-...

If one studies the recent American recipients of the Nobel Peace Prize,(Al Gore, Jimmy Carter, Barack Obama) we see that they are essentially wimps that won the prize for back-peddling away from tyranny and bowing down to despots (literally, in the case of Barrack Obama). The people who have contributed most to world peace have actually been the opposite of the wimps who won, but did not deserve, the prize.

The best weapon against belligerents (the war mongers) of the world is application of the old theory: fighting fire with fire. Reduction of arms did not help the two originating countries: Norway and Sweden, combined at the time of the origin of the Prize, were later occupied by Nazi Germany.

Old “Blood and Guts” General George S. Patton probably contributed more to peace in Norway and Sweden than Albert Nobel and all of the recipients of his prize. It was Patton and his troops that stopped the Belgian Bulge, Hitler’s last act of desperation in WWII. Of course, Patton was never a nominee for the Nobel Peace Prize.

President Franklin Roosevelt, who gave the go-ahead for the development of the atomic bomb, and Harry Truman, who okay-ed its dropping on Japan, were never considered for the Nobel Peace Prize, but their acts dwarf any of the acts of genuine peace-making by those chosen by the Nobel Prize Committee. Nor were the scientists who invented the atomic bomb, considered.

Among those eligible to submit nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize: College professors, mainly those in the liberal arts, submit nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize. Former winners are also eligible to submit nominations. There is definitely a liberal bias in the nomination procedure for the prize. All of which have made the prize itself, meaningless; in fact, acts by the winners have often initiated actions (such as Obama's reduction in our armed forces and coddling despots like Iran's leader) have resulted in the weakening of the force that have held the war mongers in check.

Footnote: Ironically, the main use of Albert Nobel's invention, explosives, led to his wealth. His original dynamite factory became a munitions manufacturing plant.
