All the EDUCATED people vote Democrat: For Le_Trouver and ilk...

[Frisco_Slug_Esq]

After Richard Nixon defused the 1960s student revolt by abolishing the draft, the brain trust of the revolutionary left shifted its strategic focus to Antonio Gramsci's teachings, realizing that it is the intelligentsia, not the proletariat, that is the true revolutionary force in society; that cultural dominance, not violent revolt, is the true path to power. A project known as the Great March through the Institutions was launched. Nearly four decades later, in November 2008, it triumphed in a historic electoral victory; the revolutionary wave crested and deposited in the White House Barack Obama, the most radical president in the history of the republic.

It is a favorite parlor game on the right to speculate whether Obama is a free agent or a puppet. Actually it is beside the point whether he is the leader of the "progressive" movement or merely its hood ornament. The point is that the radical left came to power eager to grasp the rare moment when all the stars were aligned in its favor, offering the revolutionaries a realistic chance of achieving their long-cherished goal of turning the U.S. into a European-style welfare state. It was now or never. Full speed ahead, and damn the torpedoes!

And so Barack Obama sallied forth to usher in the Age of Aquarius. No one should have been surprised that the man whose entire previous life recommended him as a fervent far-left radical would turn out to be exactly that (after all, the past is prologue). What did come as a surprise to many was his zeal, his devil-take-the-hindmost approach. President Obama threw caution to the wind and at breakneck speed set about remaking America in the socialist mold.

In fact, he had little choice. Obama came to power in no small measure thanks to an economic collapse. But it is this very recession that makes his window of opportunity extremely narrow, at most ‘til the beginning of the 2010 election campaign. Off-year elections nearly always deal a blow to the ruling party, most certainly during economic downturns. Come election time, Obama's honeymoon will be long since over and the electorate will be sure to take out its frustration and anger on his party, further undermining the president's clout. Just ask Bill Clinton after the 1994 electoral debacle of the Democrats.

Given the political landscape the left decided on a drastic approach: President Obama and his Congressional allies would take advantage of their temporary preponderance and go all in on their program to take control of three major sectors: health care, education and energy. Speed was of the essence; while the Republicans are in post-electoral disarray, attack, attack, attack, overwhelm the enemy's defenses, give him no time to regroup, and push through the coveted legislation. All the chips were placed on a blitzkrieg. Using a football analogy, the Democrats threw a Hail Mary pass into the enemy's end-zone, pinning all their hopes on one daring toss.

In short order, a 787-billion "stimulus" (actually, little more than a slush fund for the Democratic Party and its allies) was passed, a cap-and-trade bill began its march through Congress, and the White House opened a massive campaign advancing the centerpiece of Obama's program: the health care reform. If the revolutionaries succeed in pushing through their radical environmental program and socializing the public health sector making up one-sixth of the national economy, America will be transformed beyond recognition. The destiny of the free, capitalist society is hanging in the balance.

However, Newton's Third Law of Motion states for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Extending the football analogy, when the offense floods the zone, so too does the defense, and both sides have a chance to come down with the ball. The all-out assault on the American capitalist system launched by the Democrats with Obama as the battering ram has run up against stiff resistance. The unwashed masses have woken up and growled in anger.

The fly-over country, as liberals contemptuously call Middle America, has sensed a real threat to its freedom and rose to defend the American way of life. And for the first time in memory, the stranglehold of the left on the media market has been broken down by the emergence of talk radio, the conservative blogosphere and Fox News TV. The liberals found themselves in unchartered waters. Unaccustomed to resistance, they thrashed helplessly about. Goaded by the so-called "mainstream" press, which is to mainstream as Cambridge, Massachusetts is to Peoria, Illinois, they lashed out at the opposition as "troglodytes," "Nazis, "KKK," and of course "racists." But this time it didn't work. The situation was too dire for the old reliable standbys to have the desired intimidating effect.

Problem was, it was supposed to be the comrades leading them, but fuck it, I'll take what I can get.

Gramsci was one of the founding fathers of Political Correctness, not to mention a founder and leader of the Communist Party of Italy.

That was Lao Tzu's advice to the Emperor of China. Maybe not the pregnant part.

and yet obama is busy pushing pork...what was that last bill 1.1 trillion?

the more things change the more they stay the same. its nice to be "friends" of obama, just like it was nice to be "friends" of Bush.

My brother is a democrat and so are most of my sisters…what is the difference between us? My brother and sisters were born basically with a silver spoon in their mouths. Sure my parents were in a lot better place finically raising them. Funny thing is that they are living pay check to pay check where we’re not (hubby and myself).

Also, most democrats are attorneys and government/union workers. College professors tend to be democratic, but most have tenor and no clue about the real world let alone build something that adds value. Entrepreneurs tend to be more on the republican side as they have to earn what they make.

Clarified your post.

At least Obama is not stooping to fear tactics.

There were only 5000 riders on the last bill. Stay tuned for more.

He might not be using scare tactics on the TV but he is 100% a bully….or to be polite he’s using Chicago politics

I love watching his press sectary, its like the tv show “Married with Children” in a way. The best episode was the gate crashers, and watching the press guy defending the “entertainment secretary”. Maybe married with children is too generous, the “Bennie Hill show” would be better, or was that the Clinton years?
