The Hill Street Blahg

The American Spectator had a thorough essay yesterday on what Americans can expect from a Barack Obama Presidency. The author offers the reader an eye-opener into Obama’s socialistic views and lays bare the reality of just what Obama means when he talks about “change.” To fully understand the magnitude of keeping Lord Barack Obama out of the Oval Office, you must read the entire article. Here’s an excerpt from Mr. Ferrara’s piece titled Flower Power.

Barack Obama proposes that we seize the profits of the oil companies and use them for $1,000 “energy rebate” checks to every working family in America. That is what he said in his speech in Lansing, Michigan on August 4, 2008, entitled “New Energy for America.” Economist Donald Boudreaux pointed out that seizing all oil profits would still not be enough to fund these $1,000 giveaway checks.

If the government is going to target an industry it has vilified in the public mind, loot all its profits, and then use the money for giveaway checks to buy votes, then what has our nation become?

If the government can do that to the oil industry, then why can’t it do the same to any other industry, or group of people, that it successfully paints as unpopular? What then has happened to the whole notion of private property?

Why couldn’t President Obama then decree that every owner of a four bedroom home take in two homeless people? Surely there would be room for them somewhere. Why couldn’t he just seize every gas guzzling SUV, sell them for scrap metal, and use that money for $1,000 rebate checks to every Democrat voter as well?

This is why people say Obama is a socialist.

It should also be mentioned that Barack Obama has received an enthusiastic endorsement from the Communist Party USA? You can read all about this problematic endorsement from the fine folks at Moonbattery. Here’s a little bit of what they had to say about this latest of many questionable endorsements.

The CPUSA used to take money from the Soviet Union to advance the objective of overthrowing the American government and replacing it with a totalitarian police state allied with the USSR against remaining democracies. In those days, Frank Marshall Davis was an active member. He was also mentor and father figure to a racist, drug-addled, left-wing punk who grew up (sort of) to be the presumptive Democrat nominee for president. So the endorsement isn’t much of a surprise.

With Putin apparently trying to resurrect the Soviet empire, CPUSA’s funding might pick up again. No doubt this would be good news for the Obama campaign.
