or (in law review article titling fashion)- "Oh yeah! Sen Obama--he is only real to those who can imagine!"
Senator Obama has been outed as a wealth redistributer by one of us who doesn't know better than to question The One. I prefer to fondly think of Him as The Eloquent Exagerater. After seeing this Joe the Plumber (he fixes things, life-blood man of the people) episode on the Tee Vee, thoughts started swirling in my head like the mushy toilet paper that swirls in the porcelain after the all-important 2 litre slosh and Flush. (As an aside and so as not to get off the main point--another Joe outed Sen Obama as weak on leaderhsip and decision making, i.e., he will be tested.) (As another aside, these things usually come in three's, like old celebrity deaths, so another Joe should be coming along some time soon with another revelation...hey wait a minute...maybe that's me, a "regular Joe", well anyway, I drink a lot of cups of Jo every day, okay, on with it--)
So I got to thinking (puff of black smoke) about how during the Clinton administration, the Republican-led Congress forced upon him welfare reform after a blessing from the American people. Pres Clinton signed the legislation, secretly kicking and screaming about it, and I am sure, as is his apparent want, he immediately began plotting a counter-attack. He's so good, he planted the counter-attack before his pen even hit the paper. Early on, the first black President's co-president, Hillary (hey, I am eating a devil dog while the government still allows me), tried to secretly formulate a national Healthcare plan, which in reality would have created the excuse for the micromanagement of every citizen's life, by government, in potentially every avenue of free choice, from food to exercise regimen.
Bill and Hillary did not go silently into that good night when the doorknob tapped them in the keister. They left us the legacy of a housing crisis, which we are paying for today from a 25 percent loss in our 401K retirement savings. How did they do that, you might wonder? They did it the way every politician since the beginning of representative government has achieved such ignominy--by saying they are "giving" us one thing which secretly costs us dearly, while calling it something else which sounds very nice and rosey. Give up? It was called the Community Reinvestment Act, but in reality, it was always intended to be and has presciently become--the home ownership give-away, or home buyer's welfare. If they called it the Homeowner Welfare Act, even us poor middle class saps would be tipped off to what they were doing. Anyway, like they intended, poor people and struggling middle class people working their way up to the American dream (note they were living the American dream while working towards it), and people who could not yet afford to take on the responsibility of home ownership, were goaded into buying houses they could not afford, using the American Taxpayer's money, cloaked by Congress' blessing, and enforced by community activist group threats of retribution for failure to conform.
Now while pondering these things, Sen Obama's redistribution of wealth comment kept jabbing me in the craw where it became stuck a little while ago. Then suddenly I regurgitated it, while wondering what did less-than-one-term Sen Obama actually edit when he was Law Review Editor at Harvard; and remembering that he listened to 20 years of sermons spewed by a Black Liberation Theology minister; and he was mentored by a Communist sympathizer who paid for his higher education; and he hung out with the leader of the 2nd most infamous American Terrorist group in our history (the KKK would be hard to unseat as #1). What was regurgitated suddenly looked like this--
Reparations.
You doubt it? Look at the numbers. It will take an 800 billion dollar bailout, just to start, to pay for the Homeowner Welfare Act. Another clue to The One's intentions is just now evident. Obama says tax the rich and give to the poor. If the rich are the ones forming and running our companies, industry, businesses, won't they pass the tax on to the American Consumer? You betcha! So what is the end result? It is exactly what the deft, deceiving, crafty, "ARTICULATE", in Joe Biden's words, politician intended--a massive buyer/user tax increase collected by the government (from the rich and their businesses) to use as a way of further entrenching the control of our lives. Note that if Obama said he would tax us all, like Mondale said, and like Barney Frank ( the fractalous Fannie Freddie fraternizer) only recently intimated on the Tee Vee, said tax increases to be instituted by the end of 2009 in the lover of men's words, then Sen Obama's candidacy would be over quicker than a plumber can unclog your drain. At the end of 2009, don't try to say we didn't see it coming. Taxing the rich is CODE--the Left takes delight in cracking these codes so I cracked this one for them--Code for taxing the middle class. I am sorry Sen Obama, but my imagination is just running too wild here. Is that why Mickey Mouse registered as a Democrat, and Daffy Duck sent you 20 bucks? You are really raking in the fictitious character vote! Fictitious support for a fictitious candidate...only in America!
Anyway, that's it in an ACORN nutshell. Using the money The One collects from the rich, Obama is pushing Reparations on us, but he is calling it taxing the rich and sharing the wealth. Not having the numbers of how many whites vs. blacks earn over $250,000, and how many blacks make $45,000 or under (key baselines in Sen Obama's verbalized plans), potentially weakens my point. I am gonna guess here, but the number 80 has been coming up a lot lately, as in Governor Palin has an 80 percent approval rating. So using astrology, I will guess that 80 percent of the people earning over $250,000 are whites, and 80 percent of blacks earn under $45,000. If I am wrong and blacks are doing much better than this assumption, then what is all the fuss about redistribution of wealth? Why would we need it? But I digress. I could be totally wrong. But if the Big Media doesn't find it necessary to look into Obama's college and law school background, then I shouldn't worry, Right? Digressing back (sometimes I am a literary contortionsist, hey, I am a journalist because I said so), does the government keep statistics on these revenue of the races things? Sure they do. So some real imaginative journalist will maybe look it up and correct me, unless I am right, then they will impale me.
Finally, I fully anticipate I will be borked, palinized, and have my brain duly unclogged by any Obama-Biden supporters who may have the patience to read this commentary. I won't waste my time reading past the first line of any posts which contain three mindlessly derogatory words in the first sentence, because I will know I am wasting good time on Daily Kos kooks. There--a preemptive strike. If two derogatory words in the sentence, then I will know they are MSNBC, especially if the sentence ends with a double exclamation point (one for Heir Olberman and one for Ms. Madcow). And if there is one derogatory, demonizing word in the sentence, I figure that is Katie Couric, because she is so nice before she cuts a throat. I hope Charlie Gibson doesn't ask me to explain the Bush Doctrine. I would have a better chance at a real-life historical doctrine like Monroe.
Just some thoughts.
(not spell checked to allow for some more free time...now, where is that cigar...oh, and one more regular Joe strike, whenever the political class passes a law telling us how to and how not to play our life, of course for our own good, have you noticed that just means only the rich can still play? gee thanks party of the middle class...you know who you are...11 days left to tell them loudly who WE ARE...)
