Obama’s 2012 campaign slogan “Forward” echoes Communist propaganda posters

forward_to_communism

Today, the Obama administration released a seven-minute campaign video making their case for the President’s reelection, glossing over the ongoing malaise of the Obama economy and overlooking the tyranny emanating from the Obama White House. When Barack Obama became president, the number of “long-term unemployed workers” in the United States was 2.6 million.  Today, it is 5.3 million. Back in 2007, about 10 percent of all unemployed Americans had been out of work for 52 weeks or longer.  In the Obama economy, that number is over 30 percent. Since Barack Obama occupied the White House, the price of gasoline has risen more than 100 percent. In November 2008, 30.8 million Americans were on food stamps. Today, over 46 million Americans are on food stamps. The U.S. national...

Obama ridicules Student Loan ‘Socialism’ comments

Obama_ridicule_Akin

The Lefties at HuffPo are tickled pink over Dear Leader’s latest distraction: President Barack Obama ridiculed a Republican Senate candidate on Wednesday for saying that the United States has “stage three cancer of socialism” because of federal student loans. As The Huffington Post reported earlier, Rep. Todd Akin (R-Mo.) made the remark at a policy debate on Saturday, while arguing that the government should quit the student loan market completely. Obama incredulously repeated Akin’s comment at an event in Iowa City. “I’m always interested in how folks talk about this issue,” he said. “You’ve got one member of Congress who compared student loans — I’m not kidding here — to a stage three cancer of socialism.” Obama tried to repeat...

Obama’s fairness speech is short on Teddy Roosevelt, long on Karl Marx [UPDATE: Full speech transcript added]

Obama channels Roosevelt

President Obama delivered a speech in Osawatomie, Kansas today; the same location where, just over a 100 years ago, President Theodore Roosevelt spoke about what he called “New Nationalism.” Now that his Hope & Change themes have been thoroughly proven hollow, Obama is borrowing heavily from Teddy Roosevelt for his 2012 campaign theme: “fairness.” Over the next few months, you can expect to hear this phrase repeated ad nauseum: “I believe that this country succeeds when everyone gets a fair shot, when everyone does their fair share, and when everyone plays by the same rules. Those aren’t Democratic or Republican values; 1% values or 99% values. They’re American values, and we have to reclaim them.” He used the word...

The Little Red Hen, retold for the Age of Occupy

TheLittleRedHen

Felicia Cravens has rewritten the classic folk tale The Little Red Hen, updating it for the current political climate in America. Once upon a time, a lamb, a cat, a pig, and a little red hen lived on an old farm on a flowery hill surrounded by fields of golden wheat. One day, the Little Red Hen found some grains of wheat scattered in the barnyard. “Look what I’ve found!” she said to the other animals. “Who will help me plant these grains of wheat?” “Not I!” said the lamb.  “You’re taking jobs away from migrant workers who badly need them.” “Not I!” said the cat.  “You’re betraying feminist principles by engaging in menial labor.” “Not I!” said the pig. ...

Is Occupy Wall Street a repeat of Red October?

Occupy Petrograd?

The more I witness the misconduct and envious rhetoric of the Occupy Wall Street movement, the more I’ve noticed the similarities between this Leftist protest and the Bolshevik movement which ushered in the Soviet Union following the Great October Socialist Revolution (aka “Red October”). In Russia, March 1917, a revolutionary coalition overthrew Czar Nicholas II and replaced him with a Russian provisional government consisting of the legislature and the workers’ party. But by autumn of that year, a million workers took part in a general strike and gathered in spontaneous movements to protest the policies that had led to their misery. There was massive unemployment and inflation. The nation had borrowed an unprecedented amount of money from foreign governments, and faced...

Homeless man goes on rampage, gives Occupy Wall Street protesters a lesson in envy

OWS_homeless

In New York’s Zuccotti Park, the class warfare crowd got a taste of their own medicine. Up Twinkles! A deranged homeless man who has been squatting among the Occupy Wall Street protesters in lower Manhattan went on a violent, early-morning rampage yesterday, cursing incoherently and kicking down tents. The only thing that could stop Jeremy Clinch from his Godzilla-like rampage was a left hook to the face delivered by a paranoid fellow protester who claimed to be an ex-Turkish diplomat — and charged that his assailant was carrying out a plot hatched by Mayor Bloomberg. “I’ve been here from Day One! I haven’t got a tent!” the Cleveland-native Clinch shrieked as he furiously kicked down tents onto sleeping protesters at about...

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle” ~ Sun Tzu, The Art of War Ever since the first whiners protesters began gathering in Zuccotti Park to complain about the supposed inequality of wealth in America, there have been no shortage of apologists who have claimed this was a grassroots movement of “the 99%” against the so-called 1% (a.k.a. eeevil bankers). Many have even tried to compare the Occupy Wall Street movement to the Tea Party movement, claiming they are essentially...

Demands from the “Occupy Wall Street” movement [UPDATE: Roseanne Barr calls for the Guillotine and Re-education Camps for “guilty bankers”]

Don't taste the rainbow. Smell the revolution.

*** UPDATED — SCROLL DOWN FOR ROSEANNE BARR VIDEO *** For the past three weeks, dozens hundreds of unemployed twenty-something hippies have “occupied” Wall Street in an attempt to…um, get out of their parents’ basements and feel like they’re sticking a finger in “The Man’s” face. And until now, they’ve been so disjointed, there’s been no list of demands. Just a general waft of pachouli and body odor. But now, they’ve put down their cardboard signs long enough to scribble down their fondest pipe dreams and regurgitated wishes from Das Kapital. Grab some popcorn, this is heady stuff! While you’re reading this list, try to imagine the drum circle that pulled it together. Below is their list of “demands,” and in...

The Ant & The Grasshopper 2012

The Ant and the Grasshopper

If you’re over the age of 30, you probably grew up reading Aesop’s Fables. They are a collection of a short tales intended to teach a moral lesson, often with animals or inanimate objects as characters. The stories are credited to Aesop, a slave and story-teller who supposedly lived in ancient Greece between 620 — 560 BC. But it seems they no longer teach those classics in school any more, which is a shame because stories like “The Tortoise and the Hare” or “The Boy Who Cried Wolf” impart many valuable life truths which seem to be notably absent from American culture, given the current direction our nation is taking. The allegory below has been making the rounds via email and...

SEIU marches with Communist Party

Now that we have a socialist in the White House, the leftist jackwagons at the SEIU have dropped all pretense of being Americans and are fully embracing communism. Zombie has the details: A May Day rally in Los Angeles, co-sponsored by the SEIU and various communist groups, as well as other unions, reflected yet another step in the normalization of self-identified communist and socialist ideologies in the Obama era. Not only did the SEIU help to organize the rally in conjunction with communists, they marched side-by-side with communists, while union members carried communist flags, communists carried union signs, and altogether there was no real way to tell the two apart. …The SEIU devoted $28 million to Obama’s campaign, making...
