Left Abandons Obama, Romney Better Watch Out

October 4, 2012 24 Comments

The fallout from last night’s debate has been priceless. The left is beside themselves over Obama’s performance. James Carville declared Romney came with a chainsaw and roundly attacked Obama. Andrew Sullivan said the debate was a disaster for Obama. Chris Matthews was beside himself wondering what Obama was doing on stage. Politico claims Juan Williams declared the debate a massacre while attacking Obama’s performance. The New York Times called Obama “President Xanax.” Van Jones claims Romney out Obama’d Obama. During the debate last night liberals attacked Obama without mercy on Twitter. The left is in full fledged freak out mode.

Of course the left is also making excuses for Obama. Jim Lehrer is taking the brunt of the criticism. Obama’s senior campaign manager Stephanie Cutter blamed Lehrer’s performance for Obama’s defeat. Yahoo News claims “experts” are ripping Lehrer’s performance. Those experts just happen to be liberals in the media such as Time’s Ezra Klein. In fact, Lehrer let Obama bloviate and interrupted Romney on a number of occasions. But let’s face it, Lehrer isn’t responsible for Obama’s defeat. Obama is. It was obvious from the beginning that Lehrer wasn’t going to control the debate, so instead of taking over the debate Obama continued to debate in a passive manner. Surely the smartest man in the world can figure out a debate moderator’s power at some point in a 90 minute debate.

The absolute best excuse though came from Al Gore who blamed the altitude in Denver for Obama’s poor performance. This man was 500 votes from being President of the United States in 2000. Frightening eh? Obama apparently isn’t capable of adjusting to the high altitude in Denver. In Al Gore’s world, Obama must have been winded standing there talking. Gore must not have gotten the memo that the only people who are actually affected by the altitude in Denver are athletes. People who stand and talk don’t get winded, people who run or skate around get winded quickly in the Denver altitude. It’s a simple concept.

While it’s fun to revel in a victory and it’s even more fun to watch the left panic we can not forget that Romney is still behind in this race. Rasmussen’s swing state poll still shows Romney behind by 7 points. He has a lot of ground to cover if he wants to beat Obama. One debate is likely not going to cut it. But it is a start. Romney badly needed a win last night and he got it. He’s back in the race but the race isn’t anywhere near finishing. The election is still over a month away. We still have a VP debate, which won’t be as easy as Republicans like to think it will be. We still have two Presidential debates.

It would be shocking if Obama didn’t perform better in the next debate. Surely we’ll all think he’s done better because of last night’s performance. Obama fell into the trap that a lot of incumbents fall into. They think the election is in the bag, so they go through the motions. Carter was dreadful in 1980. Reagan lost the first debate in 1984 when he appeared tired. Bush 41 checked his watch at the first debate in 1992. Clinton underperformed against Dole in 1996. In 2004 John Kerry defeated Bush on foreign policy in the first debate.

Obama did what they all did, he under performed, under prepared and looked like wanted to be elsewhere. Did anyone else notice how quickly he and Michelle left the stage after the debate? Mitt Romney’s up there with his wife, children and grandchildren and the President is nowhere to be found. People noticed that even if they aren’t talking about it. Obama wanted to be anywhere but the debate stage last night, we all saw it. But it won’t be that way at the next debate. He’ll be aggressive, he’ll be prepared and he’ll perform much better. Romney had best be prepared, more so than he was last night.

Leftists Busy Organizing 99% Spring Protests

February 28, 2012 3 Comments

If one were to listen to the mainstream media you would think Occupy Wall Street has gone away. But for a handful of violent clashes with police, the OWS movement has moved out of the headlines. Last year the media didn’t warn the country about the impending Wall Street protests organized far in advance by Stephen Lerner of SEIU, Van Jones and others. They then pretended like the movement was organic, suddenly popping up out of nowhere. Never mind that the left was on record concerning their plans to protest banks, investment houses and the rich generally. The media is pulling the same stunt again.

OWS is set to return April 9th with something called a “99% Spring.” This supposedly non-violent week of protests is being organized by a who’s who of leftists and leftist organizations. The UAW, Moveon.org, Engage, Progressive  Democrats of America, Van Jones, Sarita Gupta etc. These folks are planning for massive protests throughout the country during the week of April 9th. Yet the media is going to portray the protests as an organic, spontaneous event. Never mind that the left issued a press release on the subject on February 15th and has spent many months organizing the protests.

It appears the UAW is taking the lead in organizing the 99% Spring. This is interesting in light of the fact that the UAW was the biggest beneficiary of Obama’s car industry bailout. The UAW isn’t the only one organizing this though as several George Soros funded organizations such as moveon.org are also organizing.

While the 99% Spring rhetoric is peaceful and points towards Martin Luther King’s non-violent protests, we must not forget the violence of Occupy Wall Street. What the OWS folks are doing with the 99% Spring is trying to avoid a violent meltdown similar to 1968. It seems unlikely given the violence of OWS and the racism and anti-Semitism also found at OWS protests. They can talk about non-violence until they’re blue in the face, the fact is OWS was violent and many of the 99% Spring organizers have advocated violence in the past. In short, non-violence is just a buzz word meant to placate people who aren’t really paying attention. It means nothing to the organizers.

The whole point of this movement is to overthrow the American government as we know it. They want to enforce socialism, if not outright Marxism. Last year OWS at times advocated killing capitalists and in the very least sought to demonize anyone with money. Well, anyone with money not associated with them. George Soros is a good rich guy, so are rich Hollywood leftists. All the other guys are evil.

When the 99% Spring begins, all organized by the UAW, Van Jones and any number of other leftists, the media will act shocked by the grassroots nature of it all. They’ll be amazed at how much these protesters care. The truth is that just like OWS, the 99% Spring will be nothing more than a highly organized protest meant to bring chaos to the streets and push the country towards totalitarian socialism. The media won’t tell you that but if you follow what these people are, how they’re organizing and what they’re goals are it becomes very clear. The far left has a formula, they’re up front about it if you dig around a little bit. The dirty secret is that OWS and the 99% Spring are nothing but an organized astro-turf protest.

Obama Gets Behind Grotesque Occupiers

October 17, 2011 4 Comments

President Obama is embracing the Occupy Wall Street protests. He’s started using the term 99%, alleging that the grotesque occupiers represent 99% of the country. There are very clear connections between Obama and the leaders of these protests, from Van Jones and George Soros to Stephen Lerner and other union bosses. The mainstream press, even Fox News, refuse to acknowledge the connections. Now that the President is using the occupiers terms, it’s very clear that Obama is embracing them. He’s also trying to set up the 2012 election debate as Wall Street vs 99%.

Of course for Obama to get away with this he’ll need an ignorant public and a willing press. Let’s not forget that, according to Open Secrets, in 2008 Obama took in $15.8 million from Wall Street. McCain only too in $9.2 million. Wall Street wrote and lobbied for the Dodd-Frank financial reform package. We’ll also have to ignore the fact that Obama has spent the past several months touring the country going from one $30,000 a plate fundraiser to the next. Last I checked the 99% down at the Occupy protests couldn’t afford toilet paper much less a $30,000 rubber chicken dinner with the President.

Obama is desperate to cling to his power, this has become clear over the past few days. He’s in the 2012 election to win. In order to win he’s going to try to divide the country on class lines. He’s going to use Wall Street, from whom he accepted $15.8 million in donations in 2008, as his straw man to create class warfare. This isn’t the uniter he claimed to be in 2008, he’s little more than a community organizing rabble rouser who is hell bent on dividing the nation.

Whether the White House is actively involved in the Occupy protests remains to be seen. The connections are clear. It’s also clear that the people and organizations staging these events are very much supportive of Obama’s socialist agenda. The protesters themselves have little idea why they’re there, as evidenced by the fact that none of them seem to be able to explain what the point of the occupation is. They’re nothing more than useful idiots.

Wall Street is easy to hate when you’re jealous of other’s riches. But if these people were so opposed to Wall Street where were they when the financial meltdown began in 2008? Where were they in 2009 and 2010 when stock market was all over the place? Where were they when Dodd-Frank was being debated? We’re supposed to believe these people got outraged in the middle of September and felt the need to occupy and destroy a park in lower Manhattan without any organization or any connection to the White House? Give me a break.

The occupy protests began a few weeks after Obama’s jobs speech. They were planned for the last year and a half. They were originally planned for last May and were pushed back to September, likely to coordinate with the White House. This whole thing is being organized by a group of socialists and marxists who are using these moronic college students to push an agenda they don’t even understand. In fact, most of the people down there don’t even know why they’re there. And Obama is supporting them, using the term 99%. There is absolutely a connection.

In the end we have a choice in 2012. The choice is between big government and small government. Obama is attempting to set the debate as Wall Street against the 99%. He’s using the Occupy protests to do this and the media is going right along with it. Have you noticed all the positive stories about these protests, nearly one a night on every channel. The Tea Party had 9 stories during the entire year in 2009, all of them negative. So the media is completely on board with Obama and the Occupiers. We conservatives have to get the message out on our own that the choice isn’t between Wall Street and everyone else. The choice is between Obama’s big government socialism and freedom.

Rage-Aholic Leftist Protests Won’t Gain Traction

October 7, 2011 2 Comments

The rage-aholic leftist “occupy” Wall Street protests are little more than a highly organized Astroturf effort of unions such as SEIU and Marxists such as Van Jones. These protests aren’t an organic uprising seeking to confront current issues. Instead, they have been organized months and years in advance as evidenced by this video. The upper middle class white college kids, who I mockingly called hobo chic yesterday, are just useful idiots who have been worked into a frenzy over essentially nothing. I’m sure most of them will be asking their parents to send them pizza money for their weekend of speaking “truth” to essentially no one in power.

The question here is whether or not these protests will have any traction for the left. It’s clear that Obama is part of this, he specifically singled out and attacked banks in his campaign presser yesterday. Banks are of course the target of these protests. Nearly every group involved in these protests has a direct connection to Obama. SEIU, Van Jones, Students for a Democratic Society, Moveon.org, Tides Foundation etc. All of them have direct connections with Obama and he has passively supported the Occupy Wall Street movement.

While Obama is involved, however passively, it isn’t going to gain traction for the left. We’ve already had massive left-wing protests this  year and it’s done nothing for the leftist movement. The protests in Wisconsin following Gov. Scott Walker’s decision to limit government employee union’s power provided no traction for leftists or Democrats. The Wisconsin protests were more organic, meaning they were more spontaneous and less organized than the Occupy Wall Street protests. They also had a direct enemy, Scott Walker is a Republican and the Wisconsin Legislature is controlled by Republicans.

In the end the leftists lost in Wisconsin. They didn’t defeat the bill and they were unsuccessful at recalling Republican legislators. Their movement fizzled out and ultimately public support for the unions fizzled as well. The current protests are highly organized, they’ve been planned for months and years. But their guy is in the White House and their party controls half of Congress. So why are they going to attack? House Republicans who have been in power for 9 months?

In the end, the Days of Rage, Occupy Wall Street protests will not gain traction for the left. They’ll fizzle out as the temperature drops and they’ll be forgotten about by the end of November. Americans are already turned off to the violent nature of these rallies, with hundreds having been arrested already. The term ‘occupy’ itself is going to turn off many middle of the road Americans who still have respect for law and order. The fact that many of these protesters don’t even know what they’re protesting or what their goals are makes it awful hard for people to want to jump on board.

In the end it’s difficult, if not impossible, to have a successful protest movement when your guy is sitting in the White House. Wisconsin had a shot at gaining traction because it was focused on an opposition Governor. Wisconsin fizzled for the left. There’s no reason to believe the Van Jones, SEIU, astro-turf rage-aholic Wall Street occupiers won’t fizzle out as well. At the end of the day, the American public isn’t going to get on board with a group whose goals are nebulous and whose tactics are destructive and violent.

Hobo Chic Wall Street Protesters Amusing Tools Of Radical Leftists

October 6, 2011 5 Comments

I’ve been watching the “occupy” Wall Street protests with both concern and amusement. These protests are not spontaneous like the Tea Party, they’re highly organized by leftist groups funded by George Soros. If one cared to pay attention, the extreme left has been talking about these protests for months. They didn’t just magically happen. Stephen Lerner, Van Jones, Richard Trumka, Francis Fox Piven and other leftists have been talking about creating protests to rival the Arab Spring since March. These are not organic protests born out of actual frustration and anger, they’re manufactured.

The leftist goals are certainly concerning. These people want to bring down Capitalism, they want to destroy the finances of this country. One portion of this group wants to bring down the New York Stock Exchange next Monday. Stephen Lerner and company are quite up front about supporting economic terrorism. Surely their goals are concerning as well, they seek socialism. They seek to destroy the successful. Worse, they want to prevent the successful from earning a better life for themselves. This should be the most concerning part of these rallies for those who love freedom and believe in hard work.

Have you noticed something about the Occupy Wall Street, Days of Rage protesters? They all look like white, upper middle class college students. They’re all worked up into a frenzy by their moronic professors or by street agitators because they imagine there won’t be any jobs for them when they graduate. They’re all dressed hobo chic, their outfits are all very well coordinated to look like a hobo. It’s as though one of those tv fashion designers has put out a hobo line. Yet each of these hobo chic college students can be seen playing around with their capitalist i-phone or other internet gizmo. They all look well fed. They’re all sleeping in capitalist sleeping bags. The hobo chic upper middle class college kids are really representing “the people” with their i-phones, full bellies and designer chic clothing.

Meanwhile their list of demands is ridiculous. They want to have everything without working for it. They want college education to be “free” so that they can waste their time on someone else’s dime. They want all debt forgiven, meaning that no one has to work for anything that they have. They want socialist healthcare and inflated salaries via a $20 minimum wage. They want trillions spent on infrastructure and forests. They want no border. These hobo chic brats playing protest down on Wall Street obviously never learned anything about economics in college. If these people knew anything about economics, they would understand that their proposals are untenable.

These hobo chic kids are nothing but useful idiots, tools of the radical left who are using them to obtain power for themselves. These fools are motivated by laziness and boredom. Their parents probably didn’t spank them enough as children and probably gave them everything they wanted. Now that they’re adults they don’t want to work for anything themselves and want to be handed everything like children. About half of them will come to their senses in a couple years when they graduate and stop smoking pot. The other half will forever expect someone else to pay their way.

The problem though is that they’re being used by people like Van Jones and Stephen Lerner for their own purposes. The leaders seek economic terrorism. They seek to fundamentally change America into a socialist, if not communist nation. The hobo chic morons chanting incoherently in the streets are nothing but tools. They don’t even understand what they’re protesting. While their comments are usually amusing and their coordinated, just so hobo chic outfits with i-phone accessories are amusing, the goals of the leaders are dangerous. Make no mistake, this isn’t an organic protest. It is highly organized with specific, dangerous goals.

Leftist Protesters Seek Mass Wealth Redistribution

October 4, 2011 Leave a comment

Van Jones, a former the former Obama administration green jobs czar, is one of the leftists organizing the Wall Street ‘Days of Rage” protests. While these leftists are busy “occupying” Wall Street, Van Jones is hosting a conference titled “Take Back the American Dream.” At this conference Anne Hess, a major Democrat fundraiser, declares that the American Dream is about redistributing wealth. She goes further to suggest that free housing and free healthcare are rights.

Don’t be fooled by the leftists who are attacking the Federal Reserve. They trying to fool you into thinking their policies are similar to your own and they’re trying to fool you into believing that their policies are reasonable. There is plenty to not like about the Federal Reserve, but we ought not forget that the current progressive President is the one encouraging the Fed to inflate the currency. We have to look beyond these minor points of agreement, we have to look at what these leftists really stand for in order to determine whether or not we should support their movement.

Van Jones imagines that his leftist movement is the left-wing response to the Tea Party. The fact though is that the Tea Party wasn’t organized from on high like the Days of Rage protests. No one got arrested at Tea Party events, no one “occupied” anything and the Tea Parties never encouraged rage. From the very beginning, the Tea Party was an organic organization, a grass roots group of disconnected conservatives. For example the Tea Party in Grand Rapids is not the same as the Tea Party in Holland only a few miles away. There are multiple groups claiming to be national tea party organizations, they all have different sets of beliefs and different policies they find most important. This is the opposite of the Van Jones group, which is being funded by George Soros and being organized from on high. They don’t represent “the people” they only represent the interests of Jones and Soros.

Looking beyond organization, these people are socialists bordering on Communists. They believe in the mass redistribution of wealth. They believe there is a right to free housing and free healthcare. They have, at times, attacked President Obama for not redistributing wealth enough. Is the leftist opposition to the Fed really enough to make conservatives or libertarians join  their rallies? One would certainly hope not because these leftists are protesting in the tradition of Lenin, Stalin and Mao. They’ll use  your support today and when they get power they’ll kill you.

These leftists don’t want to reform the American government, they want a revolution. Van Jones and all of these guys are very up front about this. Their idea of a revolution looks more like the French or Russian revolution than it does the American revolution. It would have to considering the American revolution was about limited government and freedom, which is the opposite of what these leftists believe.

We need to pay attention to Van Jones and company because they’re seeking to fundamentally transform America through a leftist revolution. They want to destroy this nation, they want to destroy capitalism and they want to destroy freedom as we know it. They’re not joking around. This isn’t just a group of stupid college kids who are in it for fun.

Radical Leftists Seek American Autumn Revolution

October 3, 2011 Leave a comment

Radical leftists have demonstrated on the streets of various cities throughout the United States over the past few weeks. These so-called “Days of Rage” protests are aimed at Wall Street, just like Stephen Lerner of SEIU said they would be back in March. These people supported the Arab Spring and want to create an American Autumn.

They are led by the usual assortment of extremist liberals such as Van Jones, a Communist, who has declared there will be an “October offensive to take back the American dream.” Also involved os Francis Fox Piven, a radical leftist professor who declared the other day that “I think we desperately need a popular uprising in America.” Unions are involved in these protests as well as an assortment of radical leftist organizations funded by George Soros. Around 700 were arrested at the Brooklyn Bridge over the weekend while dozens were arrested in Boston. There were small gatherings in Chicago and elsewhere of these radical leftists.

It’s important to note the connections between these folks and the uprisings in the Arab world, particularly in Egypt. We talked about the connections between American leftists and the Muslim Brotherhood and the uprisings here on this blog, how it was odd that American leftists would be interested in the particulars of Egyptian politics.

There are connections though. These leftists want a worldwide socialist revolution, Egypt is part of their strategy and so is the United States. They want to create conditions of chaos, once chaos rules they’re already prepared to take control and offer a solution to stop the chaos. Never mind that they created the chaos in the first place. The Islamic socialists in the Arab world and the radical leftists here in the US have things in common. They hate capitalism, Israel and the United States. They use vague ideas of democracy and freedom, twisting the meaning of freedom so that it stands for servitude to the state.

Van Jones wants to challenge the Tea Party with the leftist mob. You’ll note that the Tea Party never produced any arrests, much less dozens or hundreds at single events. The Tea Party caught on throughout the country. So far these leftists have only staged protests in major cities, with New York and Boston providing the only protests over a few dozen people. That isn’t going to stop Van Jones or George Soros, who is the man funding all of this behind the scenes. These people want to bring chaos to the country before the 2012 election.

Van Jones, Frances Fox Piven and other radical leftists want a revolution and they aren’t using the term as hyperbole. They’re deadly serious. Rosanne Barr, who was part of the leftist protests in New York, declared that she wanted bankers beheaded if they refused to give up all wealth over $100 million. She even suggested using the guillotine. To be fair to Mrs. Barr, she did suggest sending the rich to “re-education” camps before their beheading. She’s quite serious and no one associated with these protests have distanced themselves from her or criticized her statements. Likely because they agree.

What Van Jones and company want to do is not just create an American version of the Arab spring. They want to create an American version of the French revolution, one of the most evil times in French history. Mobs ruled, anyone who questioned anything was sent to the guillotine. What resulted from the French revolution was modern French socialism. Jones and company want to take it further than that, they likely want to bring about a Communist revolution. What they desire first though is chaos in the style of the French revolution.

These people will not succeed. Van Jones pretends that because 80% of the country dislikes Wall Street that this equals 80% support for his movement. The American people are not quite as stupid as Jones believes. Americans aren’t going to hop on board any movement en masse without first taking a serious look at what that movement stands for. Only 20% of the country identifies themselves as liberal. People identify themselves as conservative or moderate at 40% a piece. This has been consistent for decades. We have a center right country and when people recognize what Jones and his group of moronic student protesters actually believe they’ll oppose them. It’s why this movement of the left won’t have traction in the short term or long term among middle class Americans.

It is important for us to pay attention to these people though. Jones, Piven, Trumka, Soros and other radical leftists want to bring about a revolution in the United States. They want to throw our way of life and the Constitution aside in favor of global socialism. They’re working with radical Islamic socialists in the middle east and they desire an overthrow of the American government. Is this something you want to associate yourself?

George Soros, Other Radical Socialists Plan New World Order, Violent Revolution

April 9, 2011 3 Comments

George Soros is holding two massive radical left-wing conferences this weekend. He’s holding a Bretton Woods III conference in New Hampshire wherein he and his cohorts are going to attempt to remake the world economy. Meanwhile in Boston he’s holding another conference to change the world and the media. Soros is spending hundreds of millions on changing the world via his radical organizations. He has the ear of President Obama, not just through himself but through surrogates like Samatha Power, Cass Sunstein, Nancy Pelosi, Van Jones etc. Soros is an extremely powerful man, yet the media is silent about him.

In other left-wing news, radical socialist leader Brian Becker has declared that nonviolence is not always the answer. Sometimes there needs to be violent revolution. This is interesting as Becker has Soros connections. It’s also interesting in light of what The Nation has to say about Samantha Power, a Soros friend and close adviser to President Obama. You’ll recall that Power was credited with the duty to protect doctrine that allowed Obama to bomb Libya. The Nation said about Power:

She began to see war as an instrument to achieving her liberal, even radical, values.

So let’s connect the dots. Soros is working on the end game with his two conferences this weekend. It’s pretty clear that he has been doing this sort of thing for quite some time. He’s the face of what the left wants to achieve after the revolution. But we have to get to the Revolution first and that’s where Becker, Power and other radical leftists come in. It’s always been a farce when the left has claimed they are pacifists who oppose war. That has never been the case in the history of leftist thought. In fact the opposite has always been true. The left has needed violent revolution to force the sort of change they want. They only became pacifists and nonviolent in response to a war against other leftists in Vietnam. In other words, it suited them at the time but did not state their real position on war. Take Vietnam out and if you look at the major wars of the 20th century, the progressive left has always been first in line to support them. Particularly WWI.

Becker is willing to openly advocate for violent revolution while Power is willing to use the power of the US military to push change. Think about how disturbing Power’s statement is, she wants to use war as an instrument for radical leftist change. But Power isn’t the first one to come up with that idea. President Wilson and those who surrounded him held the same view. Wilson and company radically altered American society during WWI. They controlled the entire country from DC and from the end of the War until FDR took over the progressive left lamented the fact that DC didn’t control our lives. War was an instrument for radical change, even if the change went away for eight years. Power’s idea is dangerous because it is so effective.

We need to keep an eye on George Soros and the organizations that he funds. They are actively planning to radically change not only our country but the entire world. Soros isn’t some crazy old man playing games in his fantasy land. He’s serious and he has the money to fund this change. Couple Soros’ vision with the radical vision of the unions and Islamic socialists and we find a nasty socialist stew brewing and most of us have no idea it’s happening. It’s time for us to wake up. Soros isn’t kidding around, these radical leftists really do believe in violent revolution. They have a view of the world that is radically different than how those of us who love the founders of this country view the world. They don’t believe in freedom, they believe in radical centralized socialist government. Wake up America, these people aren’t playing games.

Van Jones Proves Social Justice Is Pure Marxism

January 28, 2011 14 Comments

Obama’s former green jobs czar Van Jones is back in the news again. Jones has been buddies with Obama for quite some time and had a plush job within the administration before his resignation last year. At a speech the other day Jones was asked to define social justice. He essentially defined it as being able to swap lives with someone else and have things be essentially the same. Jones is essentially a true believer in Marxism, after all the goal of Marxism is equality of outcomes. Jones also acknowledges that the goal of social justice is essentially Marxism.

Social justice has long been the battle cry of the far left. It has at times been a strange mix of blurred justice and Marxism. Back in the 50′s and 60′s during the civil rights movement there was talk about social justice for black Americans. That often meant equality under the law, meaning that blacks would be treated the same as whites with regard to the laws of the country. Only the most ridiculous racist would be opposed to that. Blacks and whites should be treated the same under the law. Law should not mandate stiffer punishments for different races nor should it mandate different outcomes for races in civil cases.

This sort of ‘social justice’ is never what the left really means when they talk about social justice. Treating races equally under the law fools people into thinking that social justice is actually a good thing. What the left has done is moved away from equality under the law to equality of outcomes. When college students talk about social justice today, they aren’t talking about races being treated equally under the law. They’re talking about government ensuring that everyone is equal, ie: equality of outcomes. You’ll hear them whine about income inequalities and declare that we need social justice to right this supposed wrong. What they are calling for is in the least socialism and at worst Marxism.

The big question is how someone as radical as Van Jones got to work in the White House. All the talk about Obama moving to the center is absurd in light of the fact that he’s kept a number of fairly high profile socialists and Marxists around him in the White House. We’ve seen the push to make everyone equal in the Obamacare debate last year. We’ve see in in the Cap & Trade debates and tax debates. Those on the far left want to radically change America and at least during his first two years Obama gave them a willing ear.

Social justice is bad news for America. It seeks to radically transform law and society. It seeks to stifle freedom and promote equality. Not equality under the law, but literal equality wherein there are no classes and no differences between people. It is pure Marxism at its core.
