If the future of a nation weren't at stake, the litany of characterizations of Barack Obama would be comical. To date, Obama has been labeled a black anti-American racist, a closet Muslim in league with al-Qaida, and now, a "Socialist Marxist." Lions, tigers and bears, oh my. The proof? Well, it should be obvious - he's black. His middle name is Hussein, and his father is purported to be Muslim. On top of that, he wants universal health care, a better life for the poor and impoverished, and big money interest groups to lose their inside track to Washington.
Yes, to conservatives and the wealthy, I suppose this would sound like the socialist boogieman. Sound ridiculous? It is. But I'm amazed at the number of people who claim to believe this nonsense. Sadly, all the facts in the world won't allow some people to think outside their social boxes. We still live in age where many do not let the facts get in the way of their ideals.
While the Muslim and racist rumors have been largely debunked - even if not to the satisfaction of hard-core fundamentalists - it is the latest desperate conservative exercise in neo-McCarthyism that is particularly ironic. It appears that Obama, and Democrats in general, are accused of wanting to "redistribute the wealth," in the form of higher taxes for the wealthy. To the conservative right, this sounds like a perfect opportunity to play the "socialism" card, a particularly useful political fear-mongering tool during an election.
The irony is that the wealth has been, and is being, redistributed, as you read this - only not in typical "socialist" fashion. The wealth it seems is drifting further and further out of reach of the poor, lower, and middle classes only to be redistributed to the wealthy. The gap between the wealthy and poor is greater than ever, a trend that has no end in sight. To some, "wealth re-distribution" is synonymous with taxes. The wealthy argue that they should not be taxed to help the poor, who by and large have made them rich to start with. To do so is "socialist" by their reckoning. The golden child of the GOP, Big Business, has realized a more than 500 percent increase in pay for CEOs already making millions each year. Astonishingly, they then level charges of "wealth redistribution" and "socialism" when they are required to pay more taxes. Ironically, it was some of these very Republicans, as well as Democrats, who pushed for a government bailout of Wall Street. Personally, I can't think of anything more "socialist" than a government "redistribution" of tax money to private companies. I suppose the government should only intervene with "socialism" when it benefits the wealthy?
Sure, we could cut all social programs and assistance for the working poor and those unable to provide for themselves, such as the disabled, elderly and children. We could insist that homeless children get a job. We wouldn't want any tax dollars being "redistributed" to those in need. It would after all, be "socialist."
Maybe we should cut school lunch assistance programs also. Why should my tax dollars be redistributed to hungry children? Let's go ahead and cut Medicare and Social Security while we are at it. We couldn't have tax dollars going to support the elderly who have worked all their lives and are now too old to do so. The wealth does not need to be "redistributed" if it is distributed fairly and wisely in the first place. It is grossly misleading and overly simplistic political fear mongering to suggest that any tax that benefits the poor is nothing more than socialism that is destined to lead America into a totalitarian communist state.
There have been many charges leveled against Barack Obama. He is certainly a Democrat, and arguably a liberal. For many this is reason enough to vote for a third term of George Bush politics. But if you're one of the thousands who has convinced themselves with the help of the fundamentalist right and FOX News that Obama is everything from the anti-Christ to the reincarnation of Karl Marx, its time for a reality check. You may come out from behind your mother's skirts; Barack Obama is not the dreaded socialist boogieman

AMERICAN PASTIMES IN HELL

If you flip over the rock of American foreign policy of the past century, this is what crawls out...
invasions ... bombings ... overthrowing governments ... suppressing movements for social change ... assassinating political leaders ... perverting elections ... manipulating labor unions ...manufacturing "news" ... death squads ...torture ... biological warfare ...depleted uranium ... drug trafficking ...mercenaries ...
It's not a pretty picture.It is enough to give imperialism a bad name. But oddly enough, these activities are somehow always profitable, to some of the already, wealthiest people on the planet. The shadow government or the real power behind the so called legitimate governments of the planet, controls the world as if it were a board game such as "RISK" or "MONOPOLY" Are we at such a disadvantage and so powerless that there is simply nothing we can do about this? How are we to know the truth when our sons and daughters are asked, or ordered into foreign countries to kill it's people and be killed by them? "Every war since the war for Independence from England has been contrived by a few wealthy people to consolidate the wealth and power of a few wealthy people!" This has been proven beyond any doubt and yet the carnage continues on an unimaginable scale. It has been said that "hell is the absence of reason." Could this be the explanation? GLENN NUNLEY.

OH MY GOD HELP US!!!! THE SKY IS FALLING!!!!

It makes me nuts to keep reading these untruthful "opinions" about Obama's tax plan, that he is a Socialist Muslim, that he is sneaking in under the fence to steal our money and give it to the low-life lazies, that he is the anti-Christ, that he pals around with bad people. Enough already.
"Any sort of investigation will prove without a doubt that Obama's tax plan will not only reduce taxes on 95 percent of working Americans with children, people over 65 years old who make less than $50,000 a year would pay $0 in taxes and their medical benefits will not be taxed." For the first time in a long time, this election isn't about people who make over $250,000 dollars a year. It's about the America, the 85 percent of us who do not. It's about 50 hedge fund owners paying more taxes and 1.5 million Americans paying less. The "American Dream" is not just about money. It's about life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. It's about family and health care and roads and schools. It's about all of this for all of us. No one should worry about making too much money if they are willing to reinvest it and take the fair tax deductions. Again, Obama's plan will give small business even more incentive to grow and eliminate tax loop holes for business who go off shore. Isn't it time we all help every family to have a shot at the "American Dream". And another thing an Obama presidency just may be able to accomplish would be an end to the war in Araq which is still costing ten billion dollars per month and countless lives. Whether or not one chooses to believe the truth about this war or not, the fact remains that it was contrived by a few powerful people, to enrich a few powerful people. It was never about terrorism or keeping America free and safe, that was only the excuse. We were not that free to begin with and we are certainly no safer. I can't speak to the McCain plan, because I never could understand that he had one, other than to continue the policies of the past, use "Carl Rove attacks" to discredit Obama and go down in history. I believe the last part of his plan will be achieved on November 4, literally. And no matter which one goes in, I still believe the central government wields too much power over our lives, and it will probably take some form of secession to correct the problem. In short, none of us should ever have to worry about the profound effect that one man could have on us. That makes me "nuts" too. GLENN NUNLEY. NORTH FLORIDA. http://www.terrorpatriot.blogspot.com/

TODAY WE LET JAKE EXPLAIN THE FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM

We have all sorts of citizens in this country and many of them vote. So even though I can't say I like his nose ring, I do think old Jake has a pretty simple and accurate method to explain the fraudulent Federal Reserve System.

SLOW MOTION MELTDOWN?

What we are witnessing is the inevitable crash of the world markets,not unlike the crash of the great depression of 1929. The difference this time is the planning and resources that are being strategically applied to this one. A more refined and orderly mass robbery of the lower and middle class by the malevolent elite.In there wisdom they realize that they are sitting in the same boat as everyone else and that if they stuff their pockets too full too fast they could tip the boat or even sink it, sending them to the bottom along with the rest of us. They have very craftily placed the right people in the right places to pull and push the economic levers of the global economy to prevent that very thing. we should all feel lucky for this wisdom. Why just watch as Paulson and Bernanke use their nimble fingers to plug that dike, while never missing a royal pay check or celebration party. This is the age old game that has played out so many times in so many places. It is simply the money masters taking their profits from the harvest of the plantation. Some of us will be left with enough seeds for the next harvest, some will occupy brand new prison cells, many will die. Few will ever know the truth. BLESS YOU MASSA. GLENN NUNLEY. NORTH FLORIDA.

THE DEVIL WE KNOW

'THE DEVIL WE KNOW' is the title of a new book recently out,written by retired CIA operative Bob Baur. In his book he describes many of the scenarios concerning Iran, that I have written about previously.One being, the taking out of the tanker traffic in the GULF OF HORMUZ in the event of an attack on their country by Israel or the United States. But as Mr. Baur points out in his book, a much more serious consequence would be the likelihood that the Iranian airforce would most certainly destroy the oil facilities in Saudi Arabia. They have the military capability to accomplish both of these objectives within a matter of minuets.If this did occur it would have the immediate effect of removing sixty five percent of the proven oil reserves and seventeen million barrels of oil per day from the world markets for at least two years.Life as we know it would cease and countries around the world would descend into chaos.... When a country has the ability to economically blackmail the world "They are a super power"and Iran is such a country. I suspect this is the reason the United States and the United Nations has not allowed Israel to push the Bush administration into this attack already. Much has changed in the thirty years since the Iranian revolution, which was directly precipitated by the CIA egineered overthrow in 1953 of Iran's popular leader, Muhammad Mossadeq, subsequently followed by the installation of a puppet dictator, Muhammad Reza Pahlavi, that danced to whatever tune the United States government told him to, especially concerning the Iranian oil reserves. The CIA also trained an Iranian version of the SS secret police that set about the country killing, raping, torturing and incarcerating the people who exhibited the least bit of descent to this un-holy governance and theft of their liberty,national wealth, and most basic human rights. And now we know who the devil is!! If any reasonable person were to walk in the Iranian's shoes, and had the knowledge and memories of what has already been inflicted on them by the United States, there could be little doubt that, this country will not hesitate to act in any way it must to prevent their enslavement by the United States again. [Remember the American hostage crises] I believe everyone of them would rather die first,and I for one understand!! This idea of an "American dream" is fine, but if you have to destroy your neighbor in order to attain it, then I believe right after the dream you will discover that you have woke up in hell.

FORGIVE MY HARSH APPROACH----I'M JUST TRYING TO SAVE THE LIVES OF OUR CHILDREN.

TRY REAL HARD--- TO PULL YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR ASS AND OPEN YOUR EARS!!! Ron Paul is once again doing his best to explain and expose the scam of the "federal reserve system/bank/board" and to preserve it in the congressional record for future generations.He is one of the few legislators in our congress who not only understands the inherent flaw,and unconstitutional nature of the illegal central bank,he also has the courage to speak out against it!!! The majority of the American people are un-educated and blissfully ignorant to the danger and certain enslavement through debt, that this illegal entity brings to the once free population of this country.Many people are now losing their homes ,cars,pensions,savings and jobs.And still we do not rise up and put an end to this insanity.I am often attacked by the very people who are most adversely affected by these circumstances as being un-patriotic or radical. I say to them, "I AM NOT UN-PATRIOTIC,QUITE THE OPPOSITE.I AM HOWEVER VERY RADICAL AND DAMN PROUD OF IT." GLENN NUNLEY. NORTH FLORIDA.

THIS IS AN EMERGENCY---BREAK THE GLASS!!

REPLY TO A FRIEND ABOUT POLITICAL CHOICES

I am very glad to see your interest in the condition of our failed state,"THE UNITED STATES" Or I'm assuming that you might agree with me on that.But while I acknowledge and respect your right to your opinions, I am personally convinced that the central government is inherently corrupted by the federal reserve system and the mindless,inept legislators that have taken up homestead in Washington D. C. several of which you mentioned.I have personally sworn myself," to devote my life to it's destruction."And I will be voting against everyone of the incumbents no matter what party they are.I believe both presidential candidates are worthless and owned by the same special interest so I will not be voting for either one of them.I am including a reference to my blog page and I do hope you will take a look as it may help explain my attitude.And no matter if we agree on our government I do hope we will remain friends.
