Neither Superman Nor Messiah, Just Marxist

Neither Superman Nor Messiah, Just Marxist

by Mark Luedtke

Being CEO of General Motors used to be a full time job. Same with being CEO of AIG and Citigroup. But President Obama is CEO of all three. He's also CEO of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. He's CEO of dozens of banks, not to mention Amtrak. He dictates how much money corporate officers can make. Obama wants to become CEO of America's energy and health insurance companies. He wants to look over the shoulder of every teacher and stand between every doctor and his or her patients. That's just the new powers Obama has grabbed or is trying to grab.

The president is ultimately responsible for every power of the Federal government. He dictates what kind of shows we watch on TV. He dictates what can be said on the radio. He dictates what kind of cars we buy. He dictates what food, drugs and hair products we can buy. He dictates where companies can drill for oil or build nuclear power plants. He dictates who can and can't buy houses and get other kind of loans. He dictates what business deals Wall Street firms make. He dictates what art we buy, what science we fund and what charities we support. He dictates that we plant trees in some places and prevents us from cutting down trees in others. Pretty soon Obama will dictate what flavors of ice cream we can buy, if he allows us to buy ice cream at all. We have a name for government leaders who dictate to the people – dictators.

The president also conducts foreign policy and is commander-in-chief of the military. In Obama's case, that makes him the world's America-basher-in-chief. It's also his job to take our earnings from us by force then beg and borrow money from China and Saudi Arabia to fund all his powers. Then there's the biggest presidential responsibility of all – funneling trillions of dollars of our money to his constituents so he and his party can remain in power. Obama's doing that with a record amount of our money from his stimulus boondoggle and other programs. During the campaign Obama even promised to take responsibility for stopping the rise of the oceans and for making everybody in the world love us. No wonder he doesn't have time to secure our borders. Apparently even Superman the Messiah has limitations.

By naming an army of Russian tyrants and faceless, unaccountable bureaucrats to assist him, Obama has centralized more power in the White House than any president in history, but in the end, ultimate responsibility rests with the president. Can you imagine anything stupider than giving one man all that power and responsibility?

This illustrates the fatal flaw of central planning. It's impossible for one or 100,000 or 5 million men – pick any number smaller than the population - to solve the problems of 300 million individuals as well as the 300 million individuals can solve their own problems. It's impossible for central planners to understand the needs, wants and means of every individual and family as well as each individual and family understands his own needs, wants and means. As Ayn Rand said, "Every government interference in the economy consists of giving an unearned benefit, extorted by force, to some men at the expense of others." Every government interference in the economy makes us poorer. The world is too complicated to put power in the hands of a few politicians. We need every American empowered to remain on top.

Every dictate from government also divides the people. You may want to buy a giant SUV, and your neighbor may want to buy a tiny hybrid. In a free country, you each do what pleases you, and everybody is happy. But if President Obama dictates that he's going to take money from Americans by force to subsidize the hybrid, that benefits your neighbor at your expense. It divides us. The more powerful government gets, the more divided the country becomes.

Dictates from even the most benevolent, intelligent and wise dictator make the people poorer, unhappier, unhealthier and more divided. But Barack Obama is neither benevolent, intelligent nor wise. Everything we know about Obama tells us he's a blind ideologue who is intentionally harming us and our country.

Obama spent 20 years sitting in Rev. Wright's church, even subjecting his children to his mad ravings. Obama eventually became a leader of black liberation theology, a mixture of Marxism, religion and victimization philosophy. According to Wikipedia, the founder of the movement claims the goal of the black intellectual is to “aid in the destruction of America as he knows it.”

Domestic terrorist Bill Ayers and his staff chose Barack Obama to be Chairman of the Board of the Chicago Annenburg Challenge (CAC) to radicalize students and parents. Ayers didn't pick Obama because he had a different vision. They undoubtedly share the same communist vision they worked to advance at the CAC. According to Stanley Kurtz, who poured through the records of the CAC, during this three year partnership, Ayers and Obama funneled $100 million, half of it our tax dollars, into radical leftist and black supremacist organizations. One of the organizations the CAC funneled money through was ACORN.

According to discoverthenetworks.com, Acorn was founded by Wade Rathke to implement a strategy defined by Richard Cloward and Frances Piven “to hasten the fall of capitalism by overloading the government bureaucracy with a flood of impossible demands, thus pushing society into crisis and economic collapse.” That sounds frighteningly like Obama's agenda. That's because Obama was involved with ACORN his entire adult life. He worked for ACORN. He trained ACORN operatives. He payed ACORN to get him elected. Obama is ACORN's, Ayers's and Wright's man in the White House working for their shared agenda of collapsing the remnants of capitalism in the US.

America isn't suffering because of too much on Obama's plate. It's suffering because Obama and his powerful allies are trying to destroy our way of life and replace it with national slavery – Marxism. Worst of all, none of this is new information. This information was available to any voter who took his vote seriously before the election. We have nobody to blame for our plight but ourselves.
