Rahm Emanuel cynically said, “You never want a crisis to go to waste.” It is now becoming clear that the crisis he was referring to is Barack Obama’s presidency.
Obama is no fool. He is not incompetent. To the contrary, he is brilliant. He knows exactly what he’s doing. He is purposely overwhelming the U.S. economy to create systemic failure, economic crisis and social chaos — thereby destroying capitalism and our country from within.
Barack Obama is my college classmate (Columbia University, class of ’83). As Glenn Beck correctly predicted from day one, Obama is following the plan of Cloward & Piven, two professors at Columbia University. They outlined a plan to socialize America by overwhelming the system with government spending and entitlement demands. Add up the clues below. Taken individually they’re alarming. Taken as a whole, it is a brilliant, Machiavellian game plan to turn the United States into a socialist/Marxist state with a permanent majority that desperately needs government for survival … and can be counted on to always vote for bigger government. Why not? They have no responsibility to pay for it.
— Universal health care. The health care bill had very little to do with health care. It had everything to do with unionizing millions of hospital and health care workers, as well as adding 15,000 to 20,000 new IRS agents (who will join government employee unions). Obama doesn’t care that giving free health care to 30 million Americans will add trillions to the national debt. What he does care about is that it cements the dependence of those 30 million voters to Democrats and big government. Who but a socialist revolutionary would pass this reckless spending bill in the middle of a depression?
-
— Cap and trade. Like health care legislation having nothing to do with health care, cap and trade has nothing to do with global warming. It has everything to do with redistribution of income, government control of the economy and a criminal payoff to Obama’s biggest contributors. Those powerful and wealthy unions and contributors (like GE, which owns NBC, MSNBC and CNBC) can then be counted on to support everything Obama wants. They will kick-back hundreds of millions of dollars in contributions to Obama and the Democratic Party to keep them in power. The bonus is that all the new taxes on Americans with bigger cars, bigger homes and businesses helps Obama “spread the wealth around.”
— Make Puerto Rico a state. Why? Who’s asking for a 51st state? Who’s asking for millions of new welfare recipients and government entitlement addicts in the middle of a depression? Certainly not American taxpayers. But this has been Obama’s plan all along. His goal is to add two new Democrat senators, five Democrat congressman and a million loyal Democratic voters who are dependent on big government.
— Legalize 12 million illegal immigrants. Just giving these 12 million potential new citizens free health care alone could overwhelm the system and bankrupt America. But it adds 12 million reliable new Democrat voters who can be counted on to support big government. Add another few trillion dollars in welfare, aid to dependent children, food stamps, free medical, education, tax credits for the poor, and eventually Social Security.
— Stimulus and bailouts. Where did all that money go? It went to Democrat contributors, organizations (ACORN), and unions — including billions of dollars to save or create jobs of government employees across the country. It went to save GM and Chrysler so that their employees could keep paying union dues. It went to AIG so that Goldman Sachs could be bailed out (after giving Obama almost $1 million in contributions). A staggering $125 billion went to teachers (thereby protecting their union dues). All those public employees will vote loyally Democrat to protect their bloated salaries and pensions that are bankrupting America. The country goes broke, future generations face a bleak future, but Obama, the Democrat Party, government, and the unions grow more powerful. The ends justify the means.
— Raise taxes on small business owners, high-income earners, and job creators. Put the entire burden on only the top 20 percent of taxpayers, redistribute the income, punish success, and reward those who did nothing to deserve it (except vote for Obama). Reagan wanted to dramatically cut taxes in order to starve the government. Obama wants to dramatically raise taxes to starve his political opposition.
With the acts outlined above, Obama and his regime have created a vast and rapidly expanding constituency of voters dependent on big government; a vast privileged class of public employees who work for big government; and a government dedicated to destroying capitalism and installing themselves as socialist rulers by overwhelming the system.
Add it up and you’ve got the perfect Marxist scheme — all devised by my Columbia University college classmate Barack Obama.

Have spanking paddle will travel!
I’m still petulant because otherwise the spankings might stop.
That was when you were a child now you seem to be affable, good-humored, good-natured, and very pleasant.
All those spankings must have done the the trick or did you just grow out of petulance naturally?

Ted pls release my comment.
I should have known based on her irreverence to academics. I once paid her what I consider my supreme compliment. I called her very wise and smart too. She was forever correcting my grammar, good humorously.

Ted you break out your virtual champaign and make your toast. not only have you broken the barrier but you did it with room to spare now your close to breaking 90.000. Mazal Tov.
reagan I like your taste in Music and choices of appropriate lyric.
I share the sentiment of “All Time High”

Obama’s most prominent trait is his immaturity. He slyly flipped off Hillary during a debate, and did it to McCain on election night. He released that photo showing the bottom of his shoes while he talked on the phone with Netanyahu, a gesture that is an insult in the Arab world. Obama’s behavior is juvenile. He doesn’t seem like a master tactician with brillant, evil schemes. He seems like a petulant child. Shebrew was a petulant child, and she knows one when she sees one.
How do you handle a petulant child? Spank’em. If Netanyahu would have spanked Obama, I think everything would have fallen into place.
After year of bumming around Europe living in and out of my car I bought a place that had a shower and and indoor toilets in Switzerland. 50 meters from the local casino where my system paid my expenses while I was there. I got to keep that house. My Italian got pretty good , or I should say good enough for what I needed.
I told my sister that she should learn to type so she would always have the skills to get a job. The other day when I was walking through the woods, I saw a rabbit standing in front of a candle making shadows of people on a tree.
It will be interesting to see if the American economic nature, more traditionally conservative then liberal, though not in recent years, in rhetoric and social issues, prevails over Obama’s economics that is pushing away from traditional economic conservativism.
Whether Wayne Root or Shebrew warrior has it right as to just what kind of economic system Obama is pushing, there is no question his views and efforts to that end, are transformative.
With some success in Obama moving America in the direction of his new economic paradigm, Americans are beginning to resist. That resistance has coalesced into the Tea Party and that resistance is growing in other areas, including within his own party who see Obama’s decline in approval ratings, impacting on their chances for re-election. Wanting to keep a job is always a powerful motivator.
At the G20 conference in Canada, France’s Sarkozy, Germany’s Merkel and other EU leaders have indicated already that they have gone down the socialism road of big government and massive entitlements to their citizens and it is ruinous. Greece’s bankruptcy is the end of the road scenario for such kind of governance and national economic policies and it frightens the EU as the consequences of what is happening to Greece reverberates throughout the EU.
It appears the EU leaders are scratching their heads as to why Obama is leading America down, what for the EU, has been a ruinous path. They certainly will not be endorsing any global economic policies and understandings that Obama presents which smack of where the EU has come to.
This however is not the only instance of where Obama has displayed his paltry knowledge of history and lack of understanding of the current affairs and circumstances of other nations and regions in the world. That lack of knowlege and understanding has been evident in his statements regarding the EU, the Middle East, Jews, Israel, Honduras, Iran, Russia and the list goes on and on.
Note that, but for the flotilla incident, Israel has pretty much vanished from the news as has Obama’s foreign policies and the serial mis-steps he is making in that regard. The American people are concerned about the economy, jobs and terrorists, especially those who are already citizens in their nation.
Given his animus towards Israel and sympathies for Palestinians/Arabs, etc., perhaps the most effective pro-Israel advocacy is to join with the anti-Obama advocates to better ensure that come November, 2010, the Democrats will lose their majorities in the Senate and Congress which would render Obama a lame duck president and all things remaining pretty equal, expose him to much greater risk of be turfed out of office in 2012 before he can do any more serious damage to America and America’s friends.
Ted seems to be away this eve. so my ten tries to reply may never see the light.
I she’s having fun but returns sooner than latter.
I said that shitting in the woods is uncomfortable so I used whenever I could the lake.
You love luxury indoor plumbing and only human insects and microbes. For me a tough call.
I had a beautiful house I built in Michmoret about 60 meters from the Beach. My ex got it all.
Do you know why Jewish divorces cost so much? They’re worth it!
She was a high school drop-out. She sold her first script when she was seventeen and told formal education to take a hike.
I used to put a lot of stock in game theory till the Arabs and especially the Palis put that theory in the crapper.
Sexual aid huh? 🙂
I never asked Sarah what her degrees or degree was in but her math acumen blew me away, as did just about everything else she projected.
I spent years studying economics to earn a doctorate I now use only as a sexual aid. After wasting a long time reading every conceivable bullshit econ theory, I concluded that economics is merely human psychology. Programs that encourage people to toil and produce make society more prosperous. Programs that encourage laziness create poverty. LBJ, Carter, and Clinton encouraged laziness, but not enough to ruin the free enterprise system. Obama’s program isn’t Marxist because it doesn’t nationalize the means of production, but it does provide unprecedented incentives to kick back and let others take care of you. It will make America much poorer, which doesn’t faze Obama because he is into fairness as opposed to prosperity. We’ll see in November whether Americans are ready to kill the golden goose of capitalism and replace it with the iron pyrite turkey of fairness. By the way, Mr. Ron Grand, photos of me clad only in my doctorate are available for a reasonable fee.
Ted seems to have gone missing so I will attempt to reconstruct from memory.
Thanks Sheeb, I miss her.
The toilet thing in the woods is a bit uncomfortable so whenever I could I used the lake.
When I was younger I would travel Europe for a month or two but instead of backpacking I bought a used car. Traveled by day casinos by night. I earned my daily expenses that way,plus the free eats and booze helped and had a car to sleep in when I got low on funds. I sold the cars before leaving sometimes at a loss, sometimes a small profit.
After a few years I broke down and bought a house, learned a passable Italian and had a lot of fun.

I liked “Slaughterhouse 5”, but I can’t find the first four anywhere. How about you?
Ted pls post my comment your spammer is at it again.
Sheeb my reply disappeared I’ll wait for ted to retrieve it. Thanks for the Joy inf. I miss her.
Thanks Sheeb, I miss her.
I never was overjoyed with shitting in the woods, I preferred shitting in the lake. When all my friends went backpacking through Europe I bought a used car and lived in the casinos for daily expenses and the free food and drinks. I slept a lot in the car and sold it before I left so my transport was mostly gas and oil. I would go for a month or two at a time. Finally I broke down and bought a little place to hang my hat when I traveled there. I got to speak Italian pretty good though.
I built a great house in Michmoret on the sea about 60 meters from the beach, on an acre and a half of land. my ex got it bless her black soul.
Do you know why Jewish divorces cost so much? They’re worth it.
As opposed to what we do now, which is speaking English and saluting the current fuhrer…! Joy should be back circa July 4; at least, that was the plan before they disappeared into the sticks. Who knows though? Maybe shitting in the woods is addictive and they will never come back. I sure don’t know. When I was a mere child and they explained camping to me, I said, “You gotta be kidding.” I’ll take luxury every time. Besides, Sarah’s back yard is so gorgeous I can just wander around here and commune with nature, and STILL! HAVE! ACCESS! TO! A! TOILET!
If Libertarians had their way we would all be speaking German and saluting the current fuhrer…!
There is a misunderstanding here about Cloward-Piven theory. Mr. Obama has not yet succeeded in turning America into a socialist country. Rather, America must first become ungovernable because of the Cloward-Piven strategy. Only then will the “revolution” occur with the disappearance of all democratic institutions and the rise of a peoples’ dictatorship. In other words, our current circumstances are merely a prelude. First, we must die and then we will be re-born in the proper form. Any real deaths that happen on the way to Nirvana will only be considered collateral damage, meaningless in the wished-for scheme of things. So, folks, nothing has really happened yet. We will know that we are on the way when the streets are filled with blood!
