SOCIALISM:

Student loan companies cut jobs because Obama seized control of student loans.

FASCISM:

I'm not the only one who sees America has reached the fascist phase on the Road to Serfdom. This author, Naomi Wolf, a progressive and feminist, also recognizes that Obama is worse than Bush because he's building on the power grabs of Bush. She gets it unlike anybody on the left I've heard of. Libertarians get it. Some conservatives get it, and that's how the tea parties started. But liberals don't get it yet.

"In her bestselling End of America, Naomi Wolf outlines the 10 warning signs that America is headed toward a fascist takeover. Using historical precedents, she explains how our government is mimicking those of Mussolini, Hitler and Stalin through practices like surveillance of ordinary citizens, restricting the press, developing paramilitary forces and arbitrarily detaining people."

Italy and Germany collapsed at that phase in WWII. Russia obviously went further down the road into communism - leading to even more murders and war. I vote for turning around now.

"It’s not just her message. She speaks their language, referring to the Founding Fathers and American Revolution as models, admitting to a profound sense of fear, warning of tyranny, fascism, Nazism and martial law. When Glenn Beck warns of these things we laugh. When Wolf draws those same connections, we listen. How can both sides be speaking the same language, yet see things so differently? Or are we just not listening to each other?"

This is easy to explain. Government is inherently divisive - it divides people into winners and losers at the point of a gun, looters and lootees - and the bigger government gets, the more divisive it becomes Our government is the biggest government in human history, therefore it's hyper-divisive. It prompts racism and political violence. It creates secret police. Because of that conservatives refuse to acknowledge right-wing fascist policies and liberals refuse to acknowledge left-wing fascist policies. Each administration and Congress expands on the power grabs of the previous one, further dividing the country. This isn't rocket science. The two party system which excludes other political ideas, adds to the division. The two parties are dividing us, conquering us and turning America into a fascist country. This is a fantastic interview, and I strongly recommend everybody read it - especially liberals - although how she justifies her double-standard between her rhetoric and Glenn Beck's is comical.


The federal government is investigating death threats posted in comments of anti-health care oppression blog. This is classic fascism - intimidating the opposition into silence. Of course government violence on the scale of Obamacare prompts people to respond with threats. Freedom of speech includes the freedom to rant. It includes freedom to say stupid things in frustration about the violence government is perpetrating on the people. It doesn't include freedom from consequences. If somebody incites another to murder, he can be held accountable after the fact, but only after the fact. As the IRS spokesman makes clear in this article, the IRS agents are armed and dangerous, not the citizens. But the simple fact is, the more oppressive government gets, the political violence it will inspire. The solution is simple - embrace freedom.

ECONOMY:

Congratulations to Obama, Bernanke, Geithner and Democrats. They've managed to convince Americans to stop saving money so our economy won't rebound.

"The pickup in purchases has caused the household savings rate to drop to the lowest level in more than a year, underscoring the need for more jobs to ensure the recovery is maintained."

We're heading for a second big collapse of the economy, and Democrats have put me in the position of hoping it happens before November instead of after. I hate that they put me in that position.

FEDERAL RESERVE:

Peter Schiff says Bernanke has never gotten anything right. Good for him.

TAX AND SPEND:

Liberals aways say that we need more taxes, but none of them donate more of their money to Virginia's tax me more fund.

Democrat dominated states like New York, New Jersey and California about to collapse under the debt liberal policies created. Democrats in Washington know this, and they know their policies will do the same to the Federal government. They're doing it to us on purpose.

New York considering legislation that would make it impossible to fire a union employee - ever. I'm telling you, they're doing it to us on purpose.

EDUCATION:

Another terrible consequence of government schools that warps people for life and degrades society.

"The unfortunate byproduct of all of this is the fact that studies have shown that for many children, their peer groups are more influential to them, and more important for them, than their families. This is a strictly recent and modern development, and is the result of so many parents simply abandoning their prerogatives as parents to the schools."

What do you expect when children are forced at the point of the government's gun to attend these disciplineless, cookie-cutter government schools run by bureaucrats? Great quote from the Onion.

HEALTH CARE:

Study shows Obamacare will raise rates on young, healthy people by 17 percent. That's the change they voted for. But this analysis is not complete. Young, healthy people will quit buying insurance, causing a bigger problem than we have already. Another report of rising premiums.

Prudential takes a write-down because of Obamacare expenses. As much as Waxman and Democrats would love to silence these corporations, they have a fiduciary responsibility to inform their shareholders of these expenses, so they'll probably continue.

The pro-life Democrats who suddenly switched their votes at the last minute to pass Obamacare are requesting $3.4 billion in earmarks. They drove a hard bargain. That's how Pelosi and Obama used our money to buy those votes.

GLOBAL WARMING:

Despite the spectacular exposure of the global warming fraud over the last six months and the Obamacare debacle, Lindsay Graham is helping Democrats pass global warming legislation.

"Three senior US lawmakers are piecing together a sweeping bipartisan energy and climate bill, which looks set to include sweeteners to galvanise support among Republicans and industry groups."

You know other Republicans are going to jump on board.

President Obama says he's open to the idea of offshore drilling. That a buck will get you a cup of McCafe. He didn't say he supported offshore drilling (even if he had, you couldn't believe him). Obama's playing word games again. Don't fall for it. This is just a ploy to get Republican Senators to vote for tax and trade.

POLICES STATE:

Criminals aren't known for their brains, ideologue's especially, but this story about the yahoos in Michigan is absurd.

"The indictment said Hutaree, a small, armed militia group based in rural southeast Michigan, had practiced attacks and other military maneuvers for more than a year, and had planned to use homemade bombs like those used against U.S. forces by insurgents in Iraq and Afghanistan. The bombs were the key part of the alleged plot to attack the funeral of a law-enforcement officer, the indictment said.

After that attack, the group planned to retreat to a remote "rally point" from which members would resist an expected response by the government, sparking what Hutaree's alleged leader, David Brian Stone, hoped would be a wider uprising against the government, the indictment said. FBI agent Andrew Arena called Hutaree "an example of radical and extremist fringe groups which can be found throughout our society.""

You could make it your entire life's mission to find nine Americans to do this, and you never would. It's baloney. This is a group of yahoos rightly upset about government oppression who entertained fantasies inflamed by federal agents but never intended to act on them, but after a long courtship, one of them was stupid enough to be seduced by the federal agents into trying to obtain an IED. It's a crock. It's part of an orchestrated campaign to make Christians, limited government activists and tea party groups look like Bill Ayers except that Bill Ayers hangs out at the White House with Barack Obama.

"The group used tiger-striped camouflage uniforms, the indictment said."

OMG! Anybody wearing camo must be a bomb throwing lunatic. The only people who can be trusted are the ones wearing the Che Guevara T-shirts.

"Some of the same conditions that last led to a surge of militias in the early 1990s—a tough economic environment and a Democratic administration in the White House—prevail today, investigators said."

Wait a minute. I thought the 90s was a time of great peace and prosperity. I guess that narrative bit the dust as soon as Obama needed an enemy to physically point his gun at. This is pure Alinsky again.

"The election of Barack Obama as the country's first African-American president has galvanized some white supremacist in parts of the militia universe. Domestic terrorism from armed groups not connected to Islamic ideology is possible, said Lydia Khalil, a counter-terrorism researcher at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York."

Of course. The white, Christian tea partiers are the ones we have to fear terrorism from, not radical Muslims, says the Muslim quoted by the paper.

"Hutaree has a MySpace page listing more than 300 "friends," some of which are members of other militia groups."

300 "friends"! Let's all panic! This article makes me want to puke.

"Authorities came in with their guns out, she said, and spent about three hours searching the premises, taking, among other things, Bibles, her cell phone, notebooks, a camouflage military jacket and a belt buckle reading, "God, Guns and Guts.""

Bibles, notebooks, a camo jacket and belt buckle? Get a rope. Wait. Hangin's too good for'em. They might even have had.... firearms. Maybe we should feed them to the pigs.

"Mr. Piatek frequently wore Army fatigue pants and combat boots, "but I never suspected he would do anything dangerous. It just seemed like he had a hobby of military stuff." She trusted Mr. Piatek enough that she felt comfortable working night shifts alone because he pledged to keep an eye on her."

Keeping an eye on a working alone at night is evil.

"This is the real deal, this is scary."

Yes it is. I think Eric Holder saved his job.

FOREIGN POLICY:

If Russia's priority was to eliminate the Chechen terrorists, it would free Chechnya.

POLITICS:

As I predicted, now that Obamacare is passed and Democrats have cut their own throats, they're going to the far left and trying to ram through Karl Marx's wish list.

"Democrats are counting on this fall's elections to be a battle of the bases -- enthusiastic liberals against inflamed conservatives.

The party may take a beating at the ballot box, but an enthusiastic liberal base will hold losses down and leave the president with a governing majority. Or so the argument goes.

Now that Obamacare is the law of the land, Democrats promise to take on global warming, card check, immigration and a regulatory crackdown on banks."

This shows how government is inherently divisive, and big-government is extremely divisive. They want to do as much damage as possible before the election and hope to excite the Bill Ayers wing of the party enough to stay in power. Barack Obama is winning. We're losing. The problem is that moderate Democrats will get creamed and the leftists won't. Maybe some of them will lose too. Look at Massachusetts.


Obama's recess appointments are another example of how Obama has split his own party but the press makes it out that this is all partisanship. No. Republicans didn't have enough votes to block any appointments. Democrats joined the Republicans in blocking them. The media refuses to point that out.


When I want to know about the tea partiers, I don't go to Barack Obama.


Obama Medicare nominee claims our health care system is racist. This self-serving baloney would be funny if it wasn't so dangerous.


MEDIA:


New York Times columnist compares the Fed's printing press to magic. People who believe in magic should be in padded rooms, not writing about economics. Remember the Fed is private bank controlled by government. It's a fascist institution that has a monopoly on the production of money. Newspapers are supposed to be skeptical of government and big corporations. I haven't noticed much skepticism lately.


MISC:


List of outrageously oppressive actions by the British government.


China shuts down Google. Let's see how this plays out over time.
