President Obama has accepted the resignation of General Stanley McChrystal, who in my opinion had a major league lapse of judgement when he and his staff criticized the civilian leadership of the United States Military, and their policies concerning the war in Afghanistan. I was in the military for 26 years, and it is a violation of the Uniformed Code of Military Justice (88 USC) to do so. Its called insubordination, which is a court martial offense. Now there has only been one military member ever court marshaled for under 88 USC, and that was in the 1950s. It's very unlikely that General McChrystal will meet the same fate. However, the president was 100% right to relieve him of his command and show him to the door.
I have mixed feelings about McChrystal. He is a great general and an expert at counter-insurgency. However, it's his rules of engagement that put the lives of Afghani civilians over the lives of American and Coalition forces that I don't agree with. If you are going to fight a goddamn war, fight the goddamn thing. Do what we did during World War II. We put the moral blame on the enemy for the death of their civilians, and we kicked serious ass, until we completely broke the enemy both in means and in spirit. This is what needs to be done to our enemies in the Middle East.
There is an upside to this unfortunate chain of events. General McChrystal can now apply for retirement. That can take about 60 days. After that time, he would be able to run his mouth every chance he got. Maybe we will see him every day on Fox News tearing the administration a new asshole. Let's see...starting in September and the election being in November...that's just about the right amount of time to turn the majority of Americans against Congress and the current administration and its policies. This could get quite interesting...More to follow...

The Cat Is Out Of The Bag
I was at a gathering over the Memorial Day weekend that was populated mostly by college educated professionals. During this event, I overheard an interesting political conversation. During the course of the conversation, a man told a lady about how both his parents had been dyed in the wool Communists. The lady practically knelt in front of him in awe, and said something to the effect about how that must have been wonderful, and how he must be pleased to no end about the current transformation of this country, and how the uneducated masses were finally going to be put in their place once and for all. I was shocked. I realize that college educated professionals, for the most part, tend to be liberal. Socialist policies benefit their pocket books at the expense of the working classes that they despise. Control the masses. For them, it's not about economic issues of "fairness." It's about arrogance and a drive for power while creating a "slave" class subservient to them. However, it starting to become very clear that this was not an isolated incident.
Keep your ears open when you are in Liberal enclaves. This is the mindset of a large percentage of the people that live in Montgomery County, Maryland, or as some of us refer to it as, The People's Republic Of Montgomery County, where these people live. It's not just limited to the Marxist radicals that populate what I call the Democratic People's Republic Of Takoma Park either. What is scary, is the fact that I know both of these people, and didn't realize that they were either part of, or "Fellow Travellers" in the Marxist remake of the United States of America. I just thought that they were typical fairly highly educated professional class Liberals. Let's face it folks, it's these Mandarins that are driving the bus that is moving the United States of America into a Socialist or Fascist (Fascism is Left Wing not a Right Wing. Do your homework idiots) ideology that benefits them and them only.
There is really a strong Communist movement in the United States that was the power behind the scenes that got Obama elected, and they are now in the drivers seat turning this great country into a Marxist dictatorship that will benefit them at the rest of our expense. Obama was installed into the presidency in order to be the closer, bringing to fruition the Socialist/Communist/Progressive coup that has been in the works since the time of the French Revolution. The leftists have been working on destroying this country for two centuries, and in earnest since the early 1900s with the biggest push happening in the 1960s.
In order to put it into perspective, let's look at the famous quote famous quote from George Orwell's book Animal Farm: "All animals are created equal, but some animals are created more equal than others." This is the mindset of the Left in a nutshell. The middle class and the poor must become equally poor so that they can be controlled. Then those that are "more equal than others," the educated ruling class, will keep the little people under their thumb for the common good. It is SOP in any Socialist country from the Democratic Socialism governments of places like Sweden, Germany, and Denmark, to the totalitarian Communist dictatorships of the former Soviet Union, Cuba, Venezuela and China. You have a very wealthy ruling class, followed by a highly educated and protected upper middle class, and then you have everyone else who is poor. Here in the United States it is a byproduct of the advancement of the move toward a Meritocracy.
There was a time when the ruling class in this country was made up of legacy old money families and industrial tycoons. Beginning in the late 1950s, the shift started toward merit rather than legacy. However, it went way too far. The division in this country is now between those that work with their hands and those that work with their brains. Blue collar versus white collar. Here in the Washington, DC area you can call it Montgomery County versus Prince George's County. By Prince George's County I mean the Prince George's County WHITE working class, not the PG County black middle class and black lower classes. The Mandarins of Montgomery County need the PG County blacks; rich, middle class, and poor, as their allies in order to attack and take down the white, marginally educated by today's standards, lower middle class and working class...in another words, the so called, "Rednecks," who just don't seem to want to get with the program. They have to be forced into obedience, and the best way to do it is through their pocket book.
Historically, this is typical. Beginning when the United States was starting to become colonized in 1608, the majority of slaves in this country were white....Yes I know, that's not the narrative that is taught in the indoctrination centers that are our schools. No, they weren't indentured servants polishing the master's silver and making the master's bed; they were slaves. Do some research and your homework. I'm not going to do it for you. Go "Google" white slavery in America.
Highly educated elitist Mandarins are now the new masters on the plantation. Their goal is to drive working class white America down into a servant class. This is just one step toward creating a world government with a ruling class and everyone else. Most of that class of "everyone else" will need to be eliminated, because it will become too expensive to keep them fed and clothed.
Why do you think that upper middle class and wealthy Liberals want food to be more expensive, utilities to skyrocket, and the price of gasoline to become so expensive that the masses can not afford these things? It's about control. When you can not afford to keep your small single family home in the suburbs due to the cost of utilities and taxes, you will be forced into "climate controlled" ghettos controlled by the Liberal Elites. What you eat will be determined by what you can afford, and since you won't be able to afford much, hunger and starvation can be used as a great motivation tool to get you to behave yourself. Why do you think that there is such a push for making more food organic? It's not about organic food being healthier. It's about organic food being more expensive, so that the "little people" will either have to eat less or have to use food stamps in order to survive. This is why I generally refuse to eat organic food.
When gasoline reaches $6 per gallon, most of the "little people" won't be able to afford to drive. They will be forced to take public transportation from their little apartment in the ghetto to their meager government job, while the Elites get to tool down the Beltway in their hybrids and SUVs (SUV for me but not for thee), uninhibited by traffic jams filled with drivers from the unwashed masses.
There is one little problem though. Marx predicted that there would be a rising up of the Proletariat against the Bourgeoisie. Back then the Bourgeoisie was the upper middle class and wealthy that made their money in hard industry. The fly in the ointment for Marx, was the Proletariat discovered Capitalism, joined the party, and became the Middle Class. Many of them became small business owners. Some of the small businesses became huge corporations, and the higher ups of those corporations became extremely wealthy. For the others, this Middle Class, through hard work, was able to earn themselves a little piece of the American Dream; A small home in the suburbs with a yard, good public schools, a college education for their children, a chance to prosper while owning their own mom and pop small business, ample food, and occasionally some luxuries. This infuriated and continues to infuriate the Left. Something had to be done. What followed was a slow march through the culture that was based on the writings of the Italian Communist Antonio Gramschi, and the Cultural Marxists of the German Frankfurt School.
Bypassing a ruling class of industrial Bourgeoisie, there emerged a cultural ruling class of academic and information age Bourgeoisie, who are now in charge and ready to take down the working classes for their benefit. The problem however, is the Proletariat are rising up, just as Marx predicted. A symptom of this are the Tea Parties.
The Tea Parties and their demonstrations are just the tip of the iceberg. Seething beneath the surface is a similar group reminiscent of the Silent Majority of the Nixon era. This group realizes the mistakes the Silent Majority made; one mistake that was made was not being proactive and always playing defense against the Left, rather than offence. Consequently, you now have at least two generations of "useful idiots" that were slowly indoctrinated into believing in Socialism by an education system that is controlled by anti-American, anti-Capitalist Marxists. You have a government ripe with Socialists that the educated classes want to keep in power for the benefit of the educated classes. Soon we are going to have class warfare in this country, but the war won't be the "little people" against the so called evil corporations. The war will be the "little people" against the sanctimonious, highly educated Marxist elitists that are emerging as America's new ruling class...a ruling class with no class, by the way. Yes, it's going to be the Proletariat rising up against the Bourgeoise. Hey Liberals, you are going to get what you deserve, and I can't wait. I'm just hoping that the Conservatives have enough balls this time to finally throw Marxism onto the ash heap of history where it belongs.

Immigration Outrage
OK, so the president of Mexico comes to this country, stands before a joint session of Congress, and lectures us on our immigration policy? WTF? Even more outrageous was watching the Democrats applauding his every criticism. President Calderon, why don't you do some economic development in your country instead of sending your unemployed north of the border? I'm sure there are plenty of American companies that will be willing to help you out. Oh that's right. That would be all about evil capitalist big corporations taking advantage of the cheap labor supplied by "little brown people." It goes against the Socialist model.
Let's finally expose the real reasons that Liberals want as many illegals in this country as possible. The first one is what they accuse the Republicans and big business of wanting, and that is cheap labor. This is true. Every business out there looks at ways to reduce labor costs. However, the liberals want cheap labor, because they want to destroy the working class economy in this country. It's part of the move toward a one world government run by those "Citizen of the World" Liberal, Marxist, Elites. Upper middle class Socialist Elites can not stand the fact that someone with less education than they have can make more money than they do, and can afford to own property. They are the serfs who should be living in the projects. There is also a collateral reason for reducing the incomes of the working classes and lower middle class tradesmen. It means cheaper goods and services for them. If you depress wages with illegal foreign workers, you can hire nannies, gardeners and maids for pennies on the dollar by paying them under the table. That means that the middle class hippie Marxists that live in places like Takoma Park, Maryland can have a lifestyle more along the line of those that live in Potomac, Maryland. After all, they are the anointed ones. They just don't make the incomes that the upper reaches of the other members of the Mandarin caste make. In fact if you depress wages world-wide, you can have an unlimited supply of cheap labor to wipe your offsprings' asses while you play tennis at the community center. Do they make Birkenstock tennis shoes for Communists?
Also, they want cheap votes from an ever expanding underclass that is funded by the tax dollars of the hard working non-elites sectors of the middle class and working classes; unless you are a member of a minority group. Then you can be exempted from those taxes as long as you vote for the Marxist Liberals. The more the merrier.
So when are the Average Americans going to finally say enough is enough, and throw the bums out? I hope that it happens this November. Also, this time if the conservatives get control of the government again, they have to stop being so nice. You can't appease or negotiate with the those that wish to destroy this country. You have to deal with them once and for all. It's time for the gloves to come off.

Government Of The Elites, By The Elites, For The Elites
As the great philosopher Confucius said, "May you live in interesting times," and yes we do (or is that "Yes We Can"?) Never in my lifetime did I ever expect to see what is happening in this country today; there is a De-facto civil war between a mandarin class who says, "Yes We Can," who wants to control you for your own and the common good, and the rest of us who say, "No You Won't." Actually, using the term "class" is a misnomer. What I should have said is "caste." We are witnessing the final stages of the establishment of a caste system in America that began with the Progressive Movement in this country in the late 1800s and early 1900s. If you study history you can follow this phenomenon back to ancient times. During the time of the Roman Empire the mandarins were the patricians. In ancient Greece they were the oligarchs. How about the French aristocracy? Remember Marie Antoinette's comment about the peasants cry for bread, "let them eat cake." What about the English gentry? Mix these all together into one big stinking pot of elitism, and you have the American mandarin ruling class of self-important "Progressive" elites who are now in the process of establishing a feudal socialist society here in America ruled by scornful, jealous, elitist, highly educated, self-serving, Fascist "Progressives." Sorry hippies, Fascism is a left wing ideology not a right wing one. Both Hitler and Mussolini were avid students and believers in the teachings and beliefs of Kark Marx and Fredrich Engles. Go do your homework for a change and stop listening to the useful idiots and fellow travellers riding the bus driven by good old Uncle Joe...as in Josef Stalin. That mass murderer, by the way who starved to death over 20 million of his own people, was able to pull off the greatest public relations stunt in history. Stalin was able to deliver the Big Lie that Fascism was right wing rather than left wing. However, if you useful idiots do a little research, you'll see that it's just the opposite. What's that you say? You don't have time for such trivial matters. OK, go back to your iTunes and trying to find a way to make as much money as possible, while you do as little work as possible. After all, you are entitled to what is mine, at least in your spoiled sanctimonius minds. Aren't you just so special...
How do you become part of the Mandarin ruling caste? It's easy. Just be a highly educated liberal who believes that rest of America, especially those that earn their livelihood through manual labor are scum. It's the fashionable thing to do. The higher up the mandarin caste you go, the more liberal you are expected to be. Highly educated conservatives need not apply.
It's not about economics. A high school drop out who owns, heaven forbid, five McDonald's franchises and makes twenty million dollars per year will never be a member of the mandarin caste. In fact, he will be despised by the mandarin class. It's about education level in "certain" fields coupled with the "correct" ideology and world view. You have to hate Capitalism and love Socialism. You want Socialism in order to perpetuate the status quo. Your status quo. You climbed the ladder, and then you pulled the ladder up after you, so that the unwashed scum can never reach you on your high and mighty perch. Granted, most of the members of the mandarin caste are well educated and therefore make fairly decent incomes. In our service oriented economy, those with more education will make more money than those that don't. Lawyers make more money than clerks at WalMart . In government employment, you have to have a college degree in order to draw GS-13 or above pay, no matter what the job. The left wants to establish this caste in the private sector too. That way we can be like Europe, and have a command and control economy where your income is controlled by the government no matter what industry you work in. The problem, however, is the entrepreneur . Unlike in Europe where most small business owners and tradesmen make less than a school teacher, in our capitalistic economy that high school graduate or dropout who owns, heaven forbid, a couple of fast food franchises or an auto parts store, is going to make a lot more money than that teacher with a Masters Degree. So will an established mechanic, plumber or electrician. That drives the mandarins crazy. It's not fair.
Teaching is a mandarin profession despite its lower pay on the average from other mandarin occupations like law and being a public relations director. So is being a social worker or working for a non-profit. None of those occupations are upper middle class, yet they are mandarin, because they fit into the Socialist master plan. The small business owner is not a mandarin, and let's face it, there is a jealousy factor in place here. The mandarins on the Left can not stand the fact that the working class and lower middle class here in the United States can afford property, air conditioning, cable TV, ample food, vacations, and/or a college education for their children. These things should only be available for the mandarin Marxist Elites that know what is better for us than us. When people actually have disposable income, they are less likely to be able to be controlled by the mandarin Elite class that thrives on power, and the Left is doing everything in its power to change that. Only the educated elites should own property, have enough to eat (hunger is a great motivator to make you shut up and do as you are told), have quality leisure time, and have access to higher education.
The mandarin caste is attempting to create a society here in America that is similar to what is reality in Western Europe. Go to France, Italy, Spain, Greece, Belgium and England. You see an awful lot of poor middle class people. You have your titled aristocracy and your super wealthy. You have your highly educated professional upper middle class who live quite well. You then have your lower middle class and working class tradesmen and factory workers who live about one notch above where a ghetto welfare recipient lives here in the United States.
The problem for the elites is this: This is America. We have a large independent middle class. Middle America despises elitism and condescension. Consequently, the "peasants" are revolting, and revolting doesn't mean the Left's definition of revolting (i.e. disgusting). It means the little people are getting really pissed off and are ready for their own version of "Hope and Change." Let's hope that things start going back to normal after the November elections...and let's hope that the Republicans finally get the message and start running candidates that can win. That also means that in 2012, you don't run another George W. Bush. The Republicans need to run a young, articulate, dynamic candidate for president who can connect with the young people who stupidly voted against their best interest for the "messiah" who promised them all sorts of free stuff paid for by someone else. That candidate needs to show them in very plain English just how dangerous Obama is to the future of the young people trying to enter the job market, raise a family, and achieve their part of the American Dream.
Once the young people and the non-government, non-SEIU, non-big labor middle class is back on board and conservatives are back in power, it's going to be time, finally, to take the Socialists, Communists, and "Progressives" down once and for all. The Right needs to grow some backbone and go toe to toe with the Left...and never back down again. No more wimps. No more Mr. Nice Guy. This time it's got to be serious. I will present my thoughts as to how to restore this country in subsequent posts.

You see an awful lot of poor middle class people. You have your titled aristocracy and your super wealthy. You have your highly educated professional upper middle class who live quite well. You then have your lower middle class and working class tradesmen and factory workers who live about one notch above where a ghetto welfare recipient lives here in the United States.
The problem for the elites is this: This is America. We have a large independent middle class. Middle America despises elitism and condescension. Consequently, the "peasants" are revolting, and revolting doesn't mean the Left's definition of revolting (i.e. disgusting). It means the little people are getting really pissed off and are ready for their own version of "Hope and Change." Let's hope that things start going back to normal after the November elections...and let's hope that the Republicans finally get the message and start running candidates that can win. That also means that in 2012, you don't run another George W. Bush. The Republicans need to run a young, articulate, dynamic candidate for president who can connect with the young people who stupidly voted against their best interest for the "messiah" who promised them all sorts of free stuff paid for by someone else. That candidate needs to show them in very plain English just how dangerous Obama is to the future of the young people trying to enter the job market, raise a family, and achieve their part of the American Dream.
Once the young people and the non-government, non-SEIU, non-big labor middle class is back on board and conservatives are back in power, it's going to be time, finally, to take the Socialists, Communists, and "Progressives" down once and for all. The Right needs to grow some backbone and go toe to toe with the Left...and never back down again. No more wimps. No more Mr. Nice Guy. This time it's got to be serious. I will present my thoughts as to how to restore this country in subsequent posts.

OK Hippies, So You Want To Be Like Europe
Happy tax day everyone. Enjoy your tax rates now, because things are going to change. That being said, let's continue. In a previous post entitled Welcome To Europe I explained the world view of the Obama Administration and many of its supporters. Lefties relish the idea of a weakened America, because their worldview is one in which there is no exceptionalism. Everyone is equal, except of them of course, "because all animals are created equal, but some are created more equal than others." I'm not sure that many on the left, especially the young people really know what is in store for them as we adopt Western European style Socialism. Socialism can not survive without it being a parasite attached to Capitalism, and eventually you are going to "run out of other peoples' money." Let me explain things to the spoiled rotten youth and other lefties, what's in store for them in plain English. I guarantee that this is not going to be the "Hope and Change" that you sanctimonious morons voted for.
First of all, you claim that health care is a right. It's not, but I'll agree that health care is very expensive and there is always the risk that some catastrophic health incident could wipe out your life savings if you don't have health insurance. I remember the days when most people had what was called catastrophic care and hospitalization insurance or as it was called, Major Medical. For some reason routine medical care was affordable when you had to pay for it out of your own pocket. When I was a kid, if you went to the doctor a routine office visit was $10 and a house call was $15. In today's dollars, that would amount to about $60 and $80 respectively. Not real cheap, but affordable for most people. For the poor, charities were more than willing to help out. Doctors also didn't run a gazillion tests in order to cover their butts against a lawsuit. Now that 88% of the population has health insurance, routine medical care is expensive. How come? Maybe because doctors have to practice defensive medicine? Maybe because of low life scum of the earth trial lawyers? Maybe because somebody else is paying for it?
OK you putzes on the left. You got pretty much what you wanted in regards to socialized (socialist) medicine. Now the fun starts. Things are going to get real interesting. All you young pie in the sky idiots are now going to have to purchase health insurance or pay a fine and risk going to jail, and it's going to cost you a lot more money than you are going to want. Hey Obama Zombies, your carefree, hipster, arrogant, Narcissistic lifestyle is going to change. Say good-bye to the new car, IPhone, and spending your nights in trendy clubs and restaurants. Say hello to canned ravioli and Hamburger Helper, just like when you were in college; I guess that means that many of you will have to have roommates too just like you did when you lived in the student ghettos. You never thought that your standard of living would be this low after you were "promised" how great your life would become with your college degree and your information age job. Of course, you can always continue to live in Mom's basement. I'm sure that's not what you expected when you voted for your Messiah. Your utopia is about to blow up in your face, and guess what? I can't wait until life rubs your nose in it big time. It's going to be wonderful watching you go bonkers when you know what finally hits the fan.
Here's how medical care really does exist in your glorious Socialist countries like the Socialist "paradises" of Western Europe with their 20% unemployment rates and prices that are on an average 30% higher than they are here in the States. I actually have first hand information from an expatriate American living in Austria about how the medical black market works over there. My financial planner attorney has a similar story. He has a daughter that lives in Europe. She's highly educated with a PhD, and makes a great salary, like most highly educated professionals who live in Europe, unlike the less educated lower middle class who exist barely above what would be considered the poverty line here in America. She's one of the fortunate ones. Here's how "Government Provided Health Care" works in Europe. You are sick and you call the doctor's office in the morning to get an appointment. You are told that there are no appointments for a month, and to go to the emergency room if need be. You know that the wait at the emergency room will be at least 10 to 12 hours or more, so you tell the receptionist, "How about if I pay cash?" She says, "Come right in." You go in, pay the doctor's fee in cash, no checks, no credit card, no receipt, and you are seen right away. There is always a huge black market and underground economy under Socialism. Health care falls under the same black market. If you have the means, you pay cash for it. If you don't, you stand in line with the rest of the "little people." Even if it's illegal to have private health care the government looks the other way, because those with influence are not going to stand in line. It's wink wink wink and pretend it doesn't exist. That hippies is socialized medicine. It's like during Prohibition, my grandfather, who made his own wine and liquor in the basement, didn't have to worry about being busted, because the Mayor and Chief of Police used to stop by periodically and have "coffee" out on the porch.
Next let's talk about education. You all want taxpayer funded college degrees. You figure that that way you won't have to be one of the "little people," that you despise and want to control for your own prurient interests. You are fully aware that in the Socialist countries of Western Europe, those with the highest levels of education reap the highest middle class financial rewards. That's built into the command and control economic regulations. Prices and salaries are all based on what the government dictates, and salaries, including small business owner salaries are all controlled by government regulation. However, so is access to higher education. Most of you wouldn't be allowed to go to college. You are not smart enough. Throughout most of Europe, higher education is rationed by the government, because it's heavily subsidized by the government. At the end of your second year in high school, you take very difficult comprehensive exams. If you don't test well, tough shit. Only a certain percentage of the students, nationwide are allowed to go on to the last two years of high school, to prepare them for college. The rest go into trade apprenticeships. They get to be the tradesmen that live in the small apartments above their shops. For the rest of them, at the end of those two years, they are tested again, and only a certain percentage of those students go on to college. The rest then go into white collar trade apprenticeships, so they can find positions working for those that actually do go on to college...and live in little apartments above some shop in a downtown area. If say 10% are accepted into the last two years of high school, and then 10% of that 10% actually go on to college, that leaves out quite a few of you spoiled brats. That means that about 1% of the high school graduates will go on to college. Most of you will be doing some kind of manual labor job, if you can find one, and you'll be living in a little apartment above some shop, unable to afford a car, and buying your clothes second hand. Oh gee, that's the lifestyle of the urban lower middle class and welfare recipients that you look down upon with scorn and pity...in that order.
This brings us to housing. What is the average square footage of the typical American working class and lower middle class home? 1200-1500 square feet, give or take a little. Upper middle class? 2500-3000 square feet. How about in Europe? Lower middle class 600 square feet. Upper middle class 1200-1500 square feet, about the size you will find in the old blue collar neighborhoods in the inner ring suburbs surrounding our cities. Then you've got the utilities on top of that, and they are very expensive in Europe. Central air conditioning is almost unheard of, except among the wealthy. Remember all those old people in Paris that died roasting in their apartments, while their family members were spending their August vacation time cooling off at the beach? In the winter I hope you enjoy wearing sweaters and long johns 24/7, because you are going to set your thermostats at 65 degrees...Not because you are environmentally savvy despite what you claim in order to show the world that you care and alleviate your guilt, but because you can't afford to set your thermostat at a comfortable 70 degrees. Energy is too expensive, except for the wealthy.
How about automobiles? Yes, I know, look at all those enlightened Europeans riding bicycles and taking public transportation to work. Did it ever penetrate your brainwashed thick skulls that maybe the reason a fair amount of Europeans don't drive is because they can't afford to? Every time I've been to Europe I've noticed that only those from a certain income bracket and above drive cars. Most people can not afford to, so they are stuck taking public transportation, riding a bike, or walking. Unless you make the equivalent of $100,000 or more per year, you are not going to be able to afford gasoline at $8 per gallon on a regular basis. You are going to take the bus, trolley or train. If it's only a couple of miles, you'll ride a bicycle, because pedal power is cheaper than bus power. Yes, the public transportation resources in Europe are a wonderful thing. I enjoy using them every time I'm there. Keep in mind a couple of things: First of all, when private transportation costs are too expensive for the masses, efficient and cheap, due to subsidies, public transportation has to be provided in order to prevent a revolt. Secondly, people need to get to work in order to keep the engine running. Third, European style public transportation would be hard to put into place here in America, because we are not as compact as they are. There is just too much space between urban areas, and we have a huge expansiveness of outer ring suburbs and/or exurbs. America's infrastructure developed around the automobile instead of the train, because the middle class wanted a single family home with a yard. While personally I would love to see better, cheaper, and more efficient public transportation here in the States, I can't stand sitting in traffic jams, I don't think that massive expansions of our public transportation systems are going to be realized in my lifetime. If you try to force the average middle class individuals out of there homes and cars, things are going to get ugly real fast.
So there you have it hippies. This is the remaking of America into your vision of Utopia. Unfortunately for you, most of you won't get to realize the American Dream now that the Socialists are in charge. As for me, I'm one of the lucky ones. I have my little piece of the American Dream that I earned through working hard to develop competent musical skills, "selling out" for the security of a military band position that I held for 26 years, and my continuation of working hard as a freelance musician, coupled with the earned benefit of a military pension as a base to work off of. I know you feel that it's not fair that I have those benefits and you don't. Let me ask you a question: How many of you spoiled adult children with your "problems with authority" would be willing to go down the same path? The problem is, you are not willing. You want everything handed to you on a silver platter. Also, I know that the majority of you wouldn't survive one day in boot camp. You'd be crying for your mommies. By the way, your mommies and daddies aren't allowed to be helicopter parents when you are in the military. It's not like college. If you want to live like a European, go to Europe and leave America to those that are willing to work hard to achieve the American Dream. You can take your Socialism and shove it.
Next let's talk about education. You all want taxpayer funded college degrees. You figure that that way you won't have to be one of the "little people," that you despise and want to control for your own prurient interests. You are fully aware that in the Socialist countries of Western Europe, those with the highest levels of education reap the highest middle class financial rewards.

Welcome To Europe
President Obama and the Democrats in Congress are running full steam ahead with their goal of turning the United States of America into a European socialist state. Some claim that this is all part of a conspiracy to take America down a peg in order to properly pigeonhole us into our place in the world government edicts of the New World Order. I've read all the conspiracy theory stuff online, as well as several books on the subject. I'm not going to completely discount those theories, because I am not totally convinced that they are hogwash. I'm also not totally convinced that Barack Obama and many of his minions, as well as many of the upper middle class liberals that supported him, are not closet Marxists. I am convinced, however, that with the signing of the Health Care Bill into law, that this country is about to change dramatically, and I'm not sure that the people in this country are going to go down the road to a European nanny socialist state without, at the minimum, a lot of complaining.
We now have a health care law that even ultra-liberal sites like Daily Kos are criticising. One writer there stated that now insurance companies will be able to charge whatever they want, because they will have a captive audience. Everyone must now purchase health insurance, or face fines or jail time. Despite the anti-capitalist slant to the writer's post, he's right on the mark. This is not going to make health care more affordable. It's going to become more costly, and there will be less of it. That's exactly what it's supposed to do. Make the cost of living for the working class and lower middle class expand, so that they will have to reduce their standard of living. At the same time, rationing of health care will lead to the deaths of more senior citizens. Why would the government want them to die? Because they have what is known as "corporate memory." They remember how this country used to be. Eventually, you can kill off everyone with corporate memory, and the only ones left will be the properly indoctrinated that the Left started brainwashing in full force starting in the 1960s. Once you have an entire country believing that Socialism is the only way, you now have a permanent ruling class of educated elites and the serfs that rely on them for mere survival.
The next big ticket item that the president and our congressional leaders are working on is immigration reform. Do we need another15 or 20 million unskilled "illegal citizens" using up more social services and taking jobs away from the unskilled labor pool that is made up of our least educated legal citizens? Most of the people that make up the working poor are not smart enough to go to college. That's a cold hard fact, no matter how cruel it sounds. These are the folks that if they go to college, they go there to clean the bathrooms. However, they still provide a very valuable function in our society. They are our working poor, but they are working, and after time, they may make enough money to have a little tiny place of their own. That American Dream will be denied them. In Europe, only the upper middle class and the wealthy are able to afford to own property. Force people into poverty and make them reliant on government social programs. That way they can be controlled, and if they make too much noise, there is always Euthanasia if they become too sick or "mentally defective."
All these social programs are going to cost a lot of money, and that money has to come from somewhere. There is talk about a Value Added Tax or VAT as it is commonly called. All the socialist European countries have a VAT, and I'm starting to believe that we are next. If we are going to have European levels of safety net, we are going to have to have European levels of taxation to pay for it. This is not going to sit well with the American people. The American lower middle class does not want its standard of living reduced to the standard of living level of the European lower middle class. A small business owner in this country wants to work hard and be able to live in a nice middle class neighborhood, not in a cramped appartment above his shop. In Europe, the working classes and lower middle classes have a standard of living that is slightly above the average welfare recipient here in the States. A VAT serves two purposes. It generates the necessary monies to fuel the nanny state. It also serves as a big DMZ to keep those that aspire to rise out of their social class from doing so. It keeps the working classes and lower middle classes in their place, which is just a notch above the poor. That way they can never achieve parity with the educated upper middle classes and the wealthy. It's a rationing of lifestyle that is put in place in order to satisfy the upper middle class' thirst for power and control. Socialism protects them from the masses that they despise. American liberals are no different. They have nothing but scorn and contempt for those that don't wear a tie to work in the morning.
Health care rationing, energy rationing, food rationing, "coercing" people out of their single family homes and cars...it's all coming, and the upper middle and upper class liberals are now drunk with power. The 100 year march to Socialism will take place unless the little people finally wise up and stop it in its tracks. The midterm elections in November are crucial. The upper class liberals need to be sent the message that those that work with their hands are not their servants.

Healthcare...they did it
Ok, it's done for now, but I have a feeling that it's not over. From what I hear the court challenges are going to begin before the ink is dry on the President's signature. Our Mandarin ruling class of Democrats has decided to ram health care reform up the butts of the American people. I have written to my congressman seeking clarification on some aspects of the health care plan, and I'm waiting for his response. He also happens to be the House Majority Leader. I will comment more on this once I get some concrete answers. However, there are questions I have right now about this: How can you possibly head in the direction of European style universal health care; its rationing, its long wait times, its supposed reduced cost, and have it provide coverage to more people and save money, without reining in the trial lawyers? What illnesses will be deemed politically correct enough to move you to the front of the line? What illnesses will be deemed politically incorrect enough to move you to the bottom of the line? Will you need to belong to the right political party and/or social class in order to have access to medical care unless you are one of the chosen victim class members?
Of course I hear people tell me that I shouldn't talk, because I have health care for life by being retired military. Yes I do. That's why I stayed in the military for 26 years. That's why I was as these Social Justice for all phonies say, "trapped" in a job that offered health care and couldn't leave. Well, yes I could have, but the idea of having an earned benefit down the road was too great of a temptation. Notice that I said earned benefit and not entitlement. I guarantee that a lot of people wanting universal health care believe that everything in life is an entitlement. They should be able to do whatever job suits their fancy and not have to make any sacrifices and/or compromises. Well guess what hippies, sometimes you have to do something that you don't like, in an industry that you don't like, in order to get a benefit that you do like. Even though I got to do what I wanted to do by doing it in the military, which was play music full-time, it was still the military. There was boot camp, short hair, uniforms, recall exercises at 4 AM and last minute TDYs followed by more last minute TDYs that could keep you away from home, with minimal preparation, for up to three months or so at a time. There were random drug tests, fitness tests, weight standards; being overweight was the quickest way to end one's career, and a top down totalitarian dictatorship social structure, that very few of the spoiled rotten upper middle class youth of today would tolerate. It's the Socialism that they so love, without them being the ones in charge. They would get to start as the lower classes, which is beyond pale in their minds. However, I think that the real reason they wouldn't tolerate it goes beyond their obvious contempt for the working and lower middle classes. They wouldn't survive one hour in boot camp and they know it. Forcing the American people into Socialism on their terms is is the goal.
This is what Obamacare is really all about. It's not about universal health care. It's about Socialism and transforming America into a Socialist society where the educated upper middle class and above become the ruling class. The black underclass will continue to be the pawns on the chessboard that the liberal upper middle class will use as a tool to enact their agenda. Very few of them will advance beyond the ghetto. Upper middle class whites ensconced in their protected suburban enclaves will make sure of that. Lower middle class, working class, and lower class whites will become the new slave class, just like they were when this country was first colonized. This is the master plan that is behind the entire "hope and change" that we are witnessing. The question is, will the lower classes go along with the program or will they revolt? You can only push people so far. Right now I think a lot of people are waiting to see what the results will be in the November elections. However if immigration reform gets fast tracked and signed into law as the next step, it will create millions more underclass voters voting for more socialism. If then you drive the cost of living through the roof with Cap and Trade environmental regulations forcing many small businesses to close their doors there may be hell to pay. If you start forcing people out of their homes, because they can no longer afford the taxes and utilities, and they are not members of a designated victim class so they can get government relief, I think all bets are off. We'll see.
Of course I hear people tell me that I shouldn't talk, because I have health care for life by being retired military. Yes I do. That's why I stayed in the military for 26 years. That's why I was as these Social Justice for all phonies say, "trapped" in a job that offered health care and couldn't leave. Well, yes I could have, but the idea of having an earned benefit down the road was too great of a temptation. Notice that I said earned benefit and not entitlement. I guarantee that a lot of people wanting universal health care believe that everything in life is an entitlement. They should be able to do whatever job suits their fancy and not have to make any sacrifices and/or compromises. Well guess what hippies, sometimes you have to do something that you don't like, in an industry that you don't like, in order to get a benefit that you do like. Even though I got to do what I wanted to do by doing it in the military, which was play music full-time, it was still the military. There was boot camp, short hair, uniforms, recall exercises at 4 AM and last minute TDYs followed by more last minute TDYs that could keep you away from home, with minimal preparation, for up to three months or so at a time. There were random drug tests, fitness tests, weight standards; being overweight was the quickest way to end one's career, and a top down totalitarian dictatorship social structure, that very few of the spoiled rotten upper middle class youth of today would tolerate. It's the Socialism that they so love, without them being the ones in charge. They would get to start as the lower classes, which is beyond pale in their minds. However, I think that the real reason they wouldn't tolerate it goes beyond their obvious contempt for the working and lower middle classes. They wouldn't survive one hour in boot camp and they know it. Forcing the American people into Socialism on their terms is is the goal.
This is what Obamacare is really all about. It's not about universal health care. It's about Socialism and transforming America into a Socialist society where the educated upper middle class and above become the ruling class. The black underclass will continue to be the pawns on the chessboard that the liberal upper middle class will use as a tool to enact their agenda. Very few of them will advance beyond the ghetto. Upper middle class whites ensconced in their protected suburban enclaves will make sure of that. Lower middle class, working class, and lower class whites will become the new slave class, just like they were when this country was first colonized. This is the master plan that is behind the entire "hope and change" that we are witnessing. The question is, will the lower classes go along with the program or will they revolt? You can only push people so far. Right now I think a lot of people are waiting to see what the results will be in the November elections. However if immigration reform gets fast tracked and signed into law as the next step, it will create millions more underclass voters voting for more socialism. If then you drive the cost of living through the roof with Cap and Trade environmental regulations forcing many small businesses to close their doors there may be hell to pay. If you start forcing people out of their homes, because they can no longer afford the taxes and utilities, and they are not members of a designated victim class so they can get government relief, I think all bets are off. We'll see.
