Ignorance Isn't Inconsequential So Catch A Clue

I read the most interesting article today on the American Thinker. Randall Hoven asks and answers the question What Would A Communist Do? In order to answer that question he went straight to the source -- the Communist Party USA. He summarized articles listed on http://www.cpusa.org/ listed in reverse chronological order. The below listed only scratches the surface of what he discovered:

What would a communist do about health care? Support it. In an article written by Sam Webb, National Chair, 9/10/2009 entitled Resetting the Health Care Debate, Mr. Webb writes: "As for the supporters of health care reform, we have to be every bit as tenacious as right-wing reaction. Justice, morality, and truth are on our side, but they are not enough. Only when combined with persistence, united action, and struggle over the bill's content, including a public option, will real health care reform see the light of day."

How would a communist support President Obama? Advocate for change. A posted speech given by Sam Webb on 7/30/2009 entitled The Communist Party - A Work in Progress says the following:"President Obama and progressive Congress people can't be the only change agents and will be change agents only up to a point. Our responsibility is to support them, prod them, and constructively take issue with them when we have differing views." But here is the kicker...."But more importantly -- and this is the heart of the matter -- we have to reach, activate, unite, educate, and turn millions of Americans into ‘change agents' who can make the political difference in upcoming struggles."

It isn't at all surprising that communist party would overwhelming support President Obama as they share some of the same core beliefs. Nor is it surprising to me that Americans with even a cursory understanding of political science and/or economics would be slightly concerned about that alone. Couple that with President Obama's affinity for Saul Alinsky, affiliation with Bill Ayers, and eerie similarities to totalitarian leaders like Hitler, Lenin, and Stalin and it is telling that more people aren't concerned. How can one be concerned about something you know nothing about? Therein lies the problem. Americans by and large are not only uninformed, but so uninformed that they don't know that they are uniformed. One blogger snarkily expressed it like this:"You don’t have a clue. You’ve been living in the Matrix and don’t know what true Socialism/Communism is. You’ve never been taught Stalin or Mao. You think you want Socialism/Communism because you’ve been taught how unfair Capitalism and the free market are....The useful idiots that put Stalin and Mao in power thought the same." - Fox

To the clueless,there is fairness, justice and equality in spreading the wealth that was rewarded to the wealthy via capitalism. They can not fathom how the inherent unfairness of capitalism (which I consider health competition) drives the desire to improve, accomplish and achieve.
Social and Economic Justice are merely palatable synonyms for Socialism promulgated by the socialist elite and their minions.

So here is the problem --the Socialist elite have money and enough of it to place their operatives throughout the offices of Capitol and White House. The clueless become increasingly clueless and beget clueless children and that is exactly what the socialist elite want. Their goal is to ensure that the clueless remain dumb and indoctrinated by the public school systems, colleges and universities without any real knowledge of who is leading them and why.

So I will leave it to the reader to catch a clue.
Hint: Start with the George Soros/Barack Obama connection.

Milton Friedman Talks About Greed

If Milton Friedman were alive today I am certain that we would see that the U.S. is moving in the wrong direction economically and that the ramifications will we long lasting.
