Obama's Leftist Armies

Will the Dems' health care Christmas Present to America be an improvement or detriment to our health care system?


Jason Rosenbaum writes: "Once Obama is elected, it's war. November is just the beginning." Rosenbaum will "work to rid Congress of conservative, Blue and Bush Dog Democrats, and build up long-term progressive infrastructure." (Are you self-professed conservative Democrats paying attention?)

What this all means, at the very least, is that voters need to keep their eye on the big ball here -- and the big ball is not Obama's political cynicism, which far too many will dismiss as acceptable Nixonian politics, engaged in by every politician. The big ball is Obama's real leftism -- and its potentially devastating consequences for the country.

Among those potential consequences, according to Rosenbaum and Grossman, are, "President Obama will start sending non-apocalyptic judicial nominees to Senate confirmation," like Justice Ginsburg, no doubt, and "the Department of Justice will once again be populated by folks who have read the Constitution," meaning those leftist lawyer types more concerned with al-Qaida's "constitutional rights" than yours or mine.

Further, "Democrats will be more likely to pass progressive legislation : ending the war," meaning surrender; providing "health care for all Americans," meaning poorer quality health care and long waiting lines for all but the very rich; causing "a renewed investment in our economy," meaning at some point, only about the top 40 percent of income earners will pay income tax at all; and bringing about "a renewed investment in green energy," meaning, to them, a radical assault on our economy in the name of the global warming hoax -- in deference to the pantheistic devaluation of the dignity of human beings that drives it.

Time will tell if Obama is as leftist as his voting record and past associations would indicate, but many of those most passionate about him seem rather sanguine about it.

So let's not just focus on Obama's increasingly evident character flaws, but the catastrophic restructuring he likely has in store for this nation and its institutions.

A Bush-shaped "empty"
There seems to be what might be called a Bush-shaped empty in the presidential coverage. Whatever the outcome of this race, it will be a referendum on the Bush presidency. If Bush hadn't been permitted to abandon every tenent of conservatism, the GOP would not be having so much trouble convincing the electorate that it has core beliefs.

The problem isn't so much that McCain isn't a conservative -- Bush isn't either -- it is that McCain can't even fake it.

Questions for Proud Liberal

Did you become "part of the group that is the most financially successful in America " through capitalist principles or by employing leftist/socialist ideals?

Do you believe your personal wealth should be redistributed among those who didn't work for it? Should your government make certain that you "share"? ie: "mold [y]our character".

Do you own private property? How many homeless families will it accommodate?

Do the leaders of the leftist agenda have a plan ready to put into place to feed, clothe and house all those folks living "simple lives" made necessary by energy prices so high they can no longer support themselves?

When the trucking industry and the railroads are brought to their knees by the cost of fuel, how will goods be transported? (That is, if there are any goods to be transported.)

When higher energy prices get to the point that ordinary wage-earners - including those who work in power plants, water/sanitation departments, etc. - can no longer afford to drive to their jobs, who will do them? Won't the lack of electricity and water be pretty inconvenient even for wealthy leftists such as yourself?
