Vast RIGHT-wing Conspiracy?

The fear-mongers are at it again. A couple weeks ago Jimmy Carter came out from whatever spider hole he’s been hiding to portray those opposed to creeping socialism (you know, the kind espoused by the Obama administration) as racists. Now, according to Bill Clinton, the “vast right-wing conspiracy” is at it again: http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/09/27/clinton.conspiracy/index.html.
It’s funny; not only is there no such conspiracy on the “right,” all evidence illustrates that the vast conspiracy exists on the left. Indeed, the diabolical forces we know as liberalism have been at work for over a century, and the leftists have gained power and control over just about every institution we Americans hold dear.
Our traditional churches have suffered the effects of liberalization to the point that they resemble, doctrinally, the antithesis of those traditional religions. The Catholic Church was a once respected institution; loved by many, despised by many, but always respected. Who can say that today? The great liberal experiment known as Vatican II has turned the Church upside down. It has become the laughingstock of the world. Its corrupt bishops and cardinals, including the current Bishop of Rome, have protected predator priests instead of their child victims. Who would respect any institution whose leadership included Joseph Ratzinger, Roger Mahoney, Walter Kasper, Bernard Law, Francis George, and a host of others who knowingly violated every Catholic moral principle by not only hushing up the crimes of their subordinate priests, but allowed them to continue to “serve” and “minister” to children.
Our schools are nothing but centers of liberal indoctrination. While government beauracies are in charge, and with ever-increasing property tax rates, most parents simply can’t choose which school to send their children, which text books should be used, nor which teachers should (and shouldn’t under any circumstance) be employed. The teachers unions and school administrators are liberally educated and are exerting more and more influence over children and young adults than ever before, no doubt emboldened by the election of our most radically liberal president ever. The communist propaganda piece, “The Story of Stuff,” is making its way into public schools around the country, and parents are not informed or given a choice to exempt their children from the propaganda. And who can deny the blatant indoctrination discovered at the B. Bernice Young Elementary School in Burlington, NJ: http://video.google.com/videosearch?hl=en&rls=com.microsoft:en-us&resnum=0&q=Mmm+mmm+mmm.+Barack+Hussein+Obama&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=Me_ASvS7IJXe8Qb3kNSpAQ&sa=X&oi=video_result_group&ct=title&resnum=4#. And people wonder why sane parents around the country did not want their kids to watch an Obama speech to school children? While it’s true that Reagan and Bush both gave speeches to school children, the interest among school administrators was non-existent. One could not say the same of the Obama zealots parading as teachers and administrators in today’s public schools.
Our government has become precisely what our founding fathers sought to prevent. Activist judges legislate from the bench; the Legislative Branch - rather than work for the people - is willingly enslaved by special interests, working hard to line their pockets and maintain power while depriving hard working Americans of their rightful gains, and our President is hotly engaged in spreading government control over every sector of our economy and our lives, from the banking industry take-over of 2009, to the automobile industry take-over of 2009, to the thus far) attempted take-over of the healthcare industry. Truly what has been a quiet and incremental take-over by liberals is now a full-fledged assault. There is a conspiracy, but it is, without question, a vast left-wing conspiracy.

Obama Loses Another Supporter

It’s a sad day in the world. For the 3rd or forth time this year the oldest living human has passed away. To make matters worse, Barack Obama lost a voter. Gertrude Baines was 115 years old, and as this article (http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D9AL80900&show_article=1) explains, she had outlived everyone in her family.
Besides the obvious, there are a couple of note-worthy things in the article, one being that under a government plan Mrs. Baines might have been considered a liability, having sponged off the government for so many years – at least for her social security and Medicare. At 115 years of age she’s been drawing benefits for 50 years! That’s 46 more years than the system was meant to support her – 46 years of welfare! Not that I would have changed that - I’m sure Mrs. Baines was a sweet old lady - but it makes me wonder how her life, especially her quality of life, would have been altered had Democrat authored and controlled Socialized Medicine been in play for those years. Would she have been able to afford her fried chicken, bacon and ice cream with all those “sin” and “sugar” taxes? Key to the currently proposed leftist plans is an emphasis on prevention, which would have undoubtedly excluded Mrs. Baines favorite foods. Under any Democrat plan she may have decided life wasn’t worth it a few decades ago – but not to worry, she would have received her end of life counseling 50 years ago too.
It was interesting to learn that Mrs. Baines voted for Obama “because he is for the colored.” And John McCain wasn’t? I suppose that if we can forgive her having lived on the government dole for so long we can also excuse her racism. Hopefully the next election will be about real issues and not any of the candidates’ skin color or gender. We lost our oldest human relative – that’s sad. But at least Obama has one less supporter.

More "Fear-Mongering" from the Right!

“The Pandemic Response Bill (2028) was passed by the Massachusetts state senate and is now awaiting passage in the House. This bill would give state authorities the ability to forcefully quarantine citizens in the event of a health emergency, compel health providers to vaccinate citizens, authorize forceful entry into private dwellings and destruction of citizen property and impose fines on citizens for noncompliance.
If citizens refuse to comply with isolation or quarantine orders in the event of a health emergency, they may be imprisoned for up to 30 days and fined $1,000 per day that the violation continues.” (WorldNet Daily: http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=108604)

Why such drastic (and unconstitutional) measures? The proponents of the bill will claim that these measures are for the good of the people, but we’d be foolish to forget that Massachusetts is also the only state in the union that has adopted socialized medicine, and is of course suffering the fiscal fallout for having made such a stupid choice. The state run healthcare system is innately incapable of sustaining itself in the event of a medical pandemic.
This cuts right to the heart of the current healthcare debate, not to mention every bit of incrementalized socialism adopted by this nation under the guise of “reform” in the last 75 years.

When Social Security was being debated prior to its passage in 1935, people like James A. Emery, chief counsel for the National Association of Manufacturers, Thomas A. Jenkins, Representative of Ohio, Allen Treadway of Massachusetts, and John Taber of New York were some of its most vocal critics. They were the political/social oracles of their day, predicting that Social Security would become a welfare program within a decade (which it did), that it would undermine or cause the elimination of better private pension programs then in existence (which it did – when was the last time you heard of a pension plan offered by a company not affiliated with a union?), that creating a government run pension would create dependency on government and a national attitude of entitlement (which it did), and that it would shrink the economy and increase unemployment (which it did – unemployment went from 17% to 25% before settling back down to 17%). Despite the modern misinformation that passes for History these days, the New Deal and all of FDR’s creeping socialistic programs did not end the Great Depression - in fact they probably made it last longer. It was World War II that saved our economy. All of the predictions of FDR’s opponents have come true despite the Roosevelt Administration’s promises and reassurances to the contrary.

So too will come to pass all of the dire predictions of Obama’s opponents. Government control of healthcare will lead any state body to trample the constitutional rights of the people in order to keep costs down. If the legacy of FDR’s agenda doesn’t convince you that government run programs are a bad idea, then the current police state being created in Massachusetts should!
