That's a great idea, MJ....How about making a video and posting it. :) However, we can say those words until "the cows come home" and it won't make them true. Obama is fast approaching the time when he does own us. If he can tell us what health care we can have, when and how much will be paid for, he owns our bodies, if not our souls. Obama is a Marxist as surely as Stalin, Hitler or Lenin: Earlier this year, a former senior Pentagon official who has battled Marxism around the globe released a video warning that Barack Obama is following in the footsteps of Fidel Castro, Joseph Stalin and others who have led communist revolutions in their nations. Retired Lt. Gen. William G. “Jerry” Boykin, a decorated former Delta Force commander, U.S. deputy undersecretary of defense for intelligence and Purple Heart recipient, explained in the video a six-step plan used by revolutionaries to bring about Marxism elsewhere and drew parallels to Obama’s actions in the U.S. Boykin’s warning resounds eerily today in particular, as the nation is reeling from the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold a massive federal overhaul of health care and on the anniversary of Obama’s pledge to establish a “national civilian security force” – two events Boykin warned were markers of a “Marxist insurgency” in other nations. “We hear a lot about Marxism and socialism, and there are those, particularly in the media, who would say that we should ‘tone down our rhetoric’ about socialism because ‘we’re not moving to socialism,’” Boykin states in the video. “Well, The reality is … I’ve studied Marxist insurgency. It was part of my training. And the things I know that have been done in every Marxist insurgency are being done in America today.” Boykin laid out a step-by-step plan he says is the model of how Fidel Castro instituted Marxism in Cuba, Mao Zedong in China, Stalin in Russia and Hugo Chavez in Venzeula: Nationalize major sectors of the economyRedistribute wealthDiscredit oppositionCensors opposing viewpointsControl gun ownershipDevelop a constabulary force to control civilian populationBoykin then illustrates how each of these steps have begun to materialize in the U.S.: From a form of “nationalization” through government bailouts, to “hate crime” legislation aimed at silencing the pulpits, to the federal government labeling tea partiers and veterans returning from overseas as potential domestic terrorists, to efforts underway to get the U.S. on board with a United Nations small arms treaty, which would regulate private gun ownership. Boykin takes particular aim at Obama’s Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which he says federal administrators have already admitted is a wealth-redistribution plan (step No. 2) and he says includes within its 1,000 pages plans for national security forces at the president’s disposal, akin to national police forces socialist tyrants like Adolf Hitler used to complete their revolutions. Specifically, Boykin alluded to a speech Obama made four years ago today, in Colorado Springs, Colo., on July 2, 2008, in which he pledged to establish a “civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded [as the U.S. military].” Video of Obama’s speech can be seen below: Read more: wnd.com

Soros' POLITICO Shows Its Stripes Obamateurism of the Day Hot Air ^ \| 7-3-2012 \| Ed Morrissey Obama : ...If Congress does not get this done in a week, the average student with federal student loans will rack up an additional $1,000 in debt over the coming year. If Congress fails to act, more than 7 million students will suddenly be hit with the equivalent of a $1,000 tax hike. And that’s not something that you can afford right now. Politico actually did the math, and suggests that Obama might have engaged in a little, er, “hyperbole”: That was a bit of hyperbole. According to the Department of Education, if rates double, the borrower paying back the average Stafford loan would owe an additional $1,041 over the 12-year life of the loan. That would break down to $87 more annually, or about $7 more a month. Jeryl Bier is aghast at the reporting: “A bit of hyperbole”? A $7 per month interest increase morphs into a annual “$1,000 tax hike”, and that’s “a bit of hyperbole”? For crying out loud, it’s 25¢ per day! What’s next? Operation Fast and Furious is a “big fuss over a few guns”? Four years of one-trillion-dollar-plus deficits is “austerity”? With its recent fund raising appeals, this administration has already set its sights on rendering parody moot. It adds up to fiscal incompetence by Obama and his staff, as well as media bias by Politico. Had George Bush made this kind of math error in prepared remarks on the very topic of the speech, we never would have heard “a bit of hyperbole” as the explanation.
