No greater evil

I apologize ahead of time to those who are attentive to this space on a weekly basis; the process of addressing key topics I hold as vitally important in the coming months – but of which those coming across my columns for the first time may not be yet apprised – may convey the appearance of redundancy.

One of those topics is the deeply- and long-held Marxist philosophy on the part of our current president, Barack Hussein Obama.

The reason I consider this to be vitally important is because by the time Americans find themselves saying, "My God, what have we done?" – it will be far too late. At that juncture, mentioning God, even in private, may not be the most prudent move, either.

The dream of global communism did not die with the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the fall of the Berlin Wall or The People's Republic of China adopting aspects of capitalism. As we now know, American communists have been quietly working, though in earnest, since the Bolsheviks gained power in Russia, toward a similar revolution in the United States. Despite a popular swing toward the right in America during the 1980s and mid 1990s, those factions have been in high gear since the civil-rights movement.

As of now, they are operating in the open; all that remains, truly, is for them to lay claim to the brand "communist."

Whether the individual far-left zealot in America is stupid, deluded or evil, the end game shall play out in the same manner: It will result in a society in which an unproductive, mediocre, larcenous few squeeze everyone else for their profit and pleasure.

Our current president is one of those few. This is indeed sad, for, in addition to the groundbreaking nature of his presidency, Barack Obama is obviously a gifted man. He could have actually accomplished something meaningful with his life; instead, he has dedicated that life – from early on, mind you – to destroying the greatest nation, and people, that has ever come along.

Can you think of a greater evil?

It is amusing – in a decidedly grim vein – to hear government and media mouthpieces attempt to defray accusations of socialistic and communistic elements within this White House's policies. Health-care reform legislation springs to mind, of course. Aside from the criminally intrusive ("criminally" meaning in a constitutional sense) nature of the current proposed legislation, it is an incontestably transparent payoff to Democrat political dependents and cronies. Then, there is the admitted affinity for Marxism on the part of Obama and certain of his acolytes (by way of validating this charge).

When I hear President Obama complain about "fat-cat bankers" and the harm they've done to our economy vis-à-vis the economic implosion that became manifest in fall 2008, for example, once again I experience that grim amusement. I am amused (as well as appalled and incensed) because Obama knows that it was socialist oligarchs such as Sens. Barney Frank and Chris Dodd, and communists such as himself and Wade Rathke who poured sugar into America's economic gas tank.

Those who surround our president (to whom he admonished us to pay attention, by the way) are among those unproductive, mediocre and larcenous few as well, as are many of our lawmakers. As this Politburo polishes so-called health-care reform measures that aren't really health-care reform measures (see the quote from Sen. Harry Reid in linked article), members of the establishment press now feel eminently comfortable disclosing their political biases. Last week, Chris Matthews, the incomprehensibly vapid and obsequious commentator for the MSNBC television network, called radical communist-nihilist Saul Alinsky "one of our [America's] heroes."

There was a time in America when being perceived as a communist was akin to being perceived as a child molester. It was once generally understood that, other than the power and glory communism brought to those in power, it held no redeeming qualities whatever. Yet, it remained possible for those middling, unimaginative fools who romanticized communism in their youth to coalesce that coveted power here.

If you believe that we are all God's children (which I do), then there is nothing evil nor dishonorable in being a marginal or mediocre individual. In capitalistic nations, in fact, marginal, mediocre people often do quite well. If you want to know what far-left doctrine – communism in particular – really amounts to, this is it: A malevolent contrivance by which the marginal and mediocre enslave majority populations. This is the way it has always been, from Lenin on down to Obama. The scale and depth of human suffering this Congress and this administration is poised to initiate will, if these people are not stopped, earn them a spot among history's worst villains.

I do not advocate extreme measures. However, if Americans who have recently become aware of how deeply imperiled we are, and those who shortly will be, do not dedicate themselves to utterly disenfranchising the political left over the next five to 10 years, they will, in a very short time, become impossible to extricate without the expenditure of force, blood and lives.

Mark my words.
