Barrack The SameOl bama

To the tune of Chain of Fools - Change, change chaaaaange. Change for fools. What is new under the sun? Barrack The Sameol Bama talks about change, change and more change. But what is new about what he offers? Higher taxes? Been there done that. He still has not learned that tax revenues only go up when taxes are low enough to stimulate the economy. I guess he and most of his supporters are too young to remember Jimmy Carter. High tax rates, price controls, and all the things dear to a Democrat's heart were tried and failed miserably. Tax the "rich". Where have we heard that before? The richest 5% already pay 50% of the taxes. Raise the capital gains tax rates? See Jimmy Carter land above. One of the most economically debillitating things that you can do is increase the capital gains tax. People stop buying and selling. You have to let people make money in proportion to their risking of their capital or the ball stops rolling.
   Now the $1,000 payment to every American looks new at first, but history is full of examples of buying votes. Remember the slogan "a chicken in every pot"? Well, I'm sure Obama and his young supporters don't remember it.
   Nationalized health care? Wasn't that a Clinton failure?
   Reform the political process? This from a man who cut his political teeth in the Chicago political machine. A man who is a top recipient of campign funds from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac so that he would impede McCain's attempt to reign in the fiscal irresponsibiliy that could lead to a finacial crisis?
   None of this is change. It is just more of the Sameol bama.

Six Degrees of Nearness

Some of us are still in shock as to why a 20 year follower of the Reverend Jeremiah Wright can garner over 40% of the votes for president but we have to understand the left in this country. Reverend Wright is only preaching (albeit in passionate preacher speak) what one of the left's main ministers of culture has espoused for a couple of decades. Noam Chomsky has been making a better living and doing it for longer than Reverend Wright. American as a terrorist state? Chomsky wrote the book. America needs to be ashamed? Chomsky on CDs. Chomsky is the long time guru of the intellectual left. These are the mainstream leftists! These are our university professors, our public school administrators, liberal "reverends" and many of our elected representatives!
 
While it would be easy to talk about (no one in the propaganda press is) Obama's other closer connections like Antoin "Tony" Rezko and former terrorist Bill Ayers or the staff member with ties to Syria, it will be more fun to see where six degrees of nearness takes us.
 
So if Obama is a 20 year student of Reverend Wright and Reverend Wright is a Noam Chomsky devotee that brings us to another Chomsky devotee. We did not hear much in the propaganda press about Hugo Chavez championing Chomsky's recent book Hegemony or Survival: The Imperialist Strategy of the United States. Holding a copy of Chomsky's book, Chavez tells the representatives of almost every nation in the world "the greatest threat looming over our planet" (it isn't global warming, isn't Islamic Jihad) its right out of Chomsky and Wright and the propagandized left in our country, it is "the hegemonic pretensions of the American empire"( You can almost hear the Star Wars music) that "are placing at risk the very survival of the human species!"  
A good friend of mine sent me some reeducation Cds from Chomsky. My friend and his wife are well educated academians working in the public school system (big surprise). They seem like a really nice couple and they are! They have two kids, they recycle, they play tennis, they live in a condo in Tacoma. They seem so, well, normal. And that is the scary part. They believe this stuff!
 
So here we have the connection that binds Obama to Wright to Chomsky to Chavez to all the America haters. Well I guess it didn't really take six degrees. No wonder we have Obama going to Europe and apologizing for America, being ashamed of America. If Obama gets elected it will be Jimmy Carter World Tour II. Our enemies will laugh at us and our friends will be afraid to stand up with us.
