The foreboding word “redistribution” uttered by Obama when he had visions of becoming President, rattled half the taxpayers in America. The other half either did not understand it, or did not believe it, or ideologically agreed and approved with big government taking cash from taxpayers and handing it out to statist supporters. His apologists in the MSM worked overtime to twist the truth of Obama’s meaning, and particularly his intent. In the end, a majority of America did not fully grasp that Obama indeed intended to remake the Nation into a socialist machine whose new blueprints could only be imagined by a community organizer with roots set deep in ideologies foreign to most thinking taxpayers.
The socialist wolf outfitted in middle-of-the-road political attire lied through the reflective glass of endless teleprompters — and the lies stuck and twice provided passage over thresholds into the White House. Lies work. Misrepresentation works. Too many voters yearn for truth, but don’t make the effort to find it. Politics have always been tainted, however, never in America’s history has an ideological movement so antithetical to the Nation’s core values, come so close to irreversibly morphing the country and its very foundations into unrecognizable and strangely schizophrenic constructs – somewhere along a spectrum that vacillates between fascism and communism. We have no idea what they really seek in the end game for the most powerful Nation on earth – educated guesses yes, but anything is possible. And the teleprompters continue, . . . .
Hillary Clinton has been on the campaign trail since she left State and has been campaigning hard. This week, Clinton had a “redistribution” moment. At a Boston rally for gubernatorial candidate Coakley, Clinton actually teleprompted her worshippers these incomprehensible words, “Don’t let anybody tell you that it’s corporations and businesses that create jobs.”
By all accounts, Clinton is actually American, breathes, and probably can chew gum and walk at the same time, although she and her husband have lived their whole lives off the good graces of the taxpayers. For them, government has been good. So good, it should be good for all Americans and in fact for everybody else on earth who can walk, fly or row onto America’s shores. Oh, and “good” means full employment, apparently. Full employment by government. The apologist media will have a difficult time twisting alternate meaning out of this inane statement by Clinton.
Obama isn’t the only one who hates capitalism, Clinton is showing her Alinsky roots and her statements are void of common sense. Lies continue to work. Now, if only her worshippers had a clue as to who Alinsky really was, and why Clinton was a “believer.” More importantly, if only they understood that she still is a believer. She also believes that she is Presidential material, . . . apparently.
A constituent of the vast baby boomer generation with a career which has been fortunate to know the ponderous corporate worlds, as well as the intimately pressurized, and invigorating entrepreneurial domains of high tech and venture capital, I have harvested my share of mistakes meandering through corridors of enterprise from Silicon Valley, to London and endless, colourful, sometimes praetorian points in between. The voyage has provided an abundance of fodder for a pen yielding to an inquisitive keyboard, a foraging mind, and a passionate spirit.
Whether political or business or social or economic or personal, is it not all political? It is a privilege to write, and an even greater privilege to be read by anyone, and sometimes with the wind at my back the writing may occasionally be legible. I do not write to invite scorn, nor to invite respect, but if I get really lucky the writing can stimulate thinking. I also write for the very selfish purpose of animating my own processes, and engaging the best of what life offers. Above all, whether biting fire or swatting shadows, I am grateful to be gifted the freedom to write and publish whatever flows down to the keyboard. To all those who enabled this freedom, and to all those standing guard to preserve it, I am indebted.
