Pity poor Hillary.
She worked so hard in New Left and Old Left causes in her youth only to be abandoned by the hard-line Communist Party establishment in favor of the fresh new face of Barack Hussein Obama, who seems to toe the party line without even trying – perhaps without even realizing he’s doing it.
There are few things more undeniable in life than that the Communist Party USA has a party line. It has been this way since the days of Josef Stalin. With Hillary Rodham Clinton having paid her dues years ago, working with all the right people and all the right causes (or should that be all the left people and all the left causes), she might have assumed the support of this small, but highly organized and disciplined group.
If so, her assumptions have been proven wrong.
The CPUSA is going all the way with Barack Hussein Obama.
How do I know?
Sometimes you have to read between the lines. But let this Google search of the CPUSA website make your research a little easier.
It shows the People’s Weekly World (it was the People’s Daily World in the good old days before the fall of the Soviet Union) pulling out all the stops for Obama. The little red rag can’t even disguise its giddiness about the junior senator from Illinois. A similar search on Hillary turns up respectful, but unenthusiastic coverage of her campaign.
So what’s the takeaway? What does this mean to real Americans – the hundreds of millions of us who don’t read the People’s Weekly World?
It means Obama is more radical, more revolutionary, more socialist, more Communist in his worldview than even Hillary.
I know. I know. It would seem nearly an impossible challenge. But that’s how this veteran Commie watcher sees it.
These guys don’t make rash decisions. They don’t jump on bandwagons. They make calculated and well-considered choices based on one thing – who comes closer to representing the highest ideals of the Communist Manifesto and Marxist-Leninism.
These are Stalinists, stuck in another era, unable to see the world as it really is because of their delusional pathology that leads them down the deadly, oppressive path of totalitarianism.
They looked hard into the faces of Hillary and Obama. They studied their records. They pored over their position papers. And they – the U.S. version of the Politburo – determined Barack Obama is their man.
When the Communist Party gets behind a candidate, it’s not just words on a newspaper. The party dispatches apparatchiks to work hard for the candidate. It occurs to me we may very well have seen a couple of those workers of the world inside Obama’s Houston office – those ladies flying the Cuban flags emblazoned with images of Ernesto “Che” Guevara.
Think about this now.
Barack Obama is pummeling Hillary in the polls. He is cleaning her clock in the primaries and caucuses. He is leading John McCain in head-to-head matchups with the Republican standard bearer by 14 points!
This guy could actually become the president of the United States.
If he does, it won’t be like the Manchurian Candidate backing into the highest office in the land. If Barack Obama wins the White House, the Communists will have gotten their man the conventional way – through an actual election, working through the system.
There’s an old Chinese proverb: “May you live in interesting times.”
Some non-newsmen suggest it’s actually a curse.
Indeed, we are living in extraordinary times. While they may be good for journalists, I’m sure they are not good for the American way of life.
