That cartoon looks a lot like the protest sign I’m making. It’s going to say “hands off our healthcare” or something like that. But with Obama’s face.

It is said 5% of patients use up 50% of health care dollars. I do not know if that is true or not, but I will assume it is.

I want everyone to have the best possible health care, but I know that is not possible. There will always be haves and have nots. But what Obama and his Democratic cronies want to focus on is fairness (although there is nothing fair in class warfare)

Yet Obama and the Dems ignore which system provides the highest benefits to the most people.

Milton Friedman recognized this a while ago. His words and warnings are still true.

People are actually starting to not flinch quite so much at my use of more pointed terms. Socialist, marxist, communists, they mean more to people than liberal, progressive and democrat. And people without strong socialist biases are starting to see the truth.

That is why they use such terms as liberal and progressive. People do not recognize what the words mean. The baby boomers do know what Marxist and Communist mean. They were rasied on those terms. Socialism has sort of been washed and hung out with the European light versions. Time to start using Marxist and Communist as well as far left socialism; terms that are better understood in their true meaning.

It’s about time someone mentioned Karl Marx, the leading philosophical light of the hard-left ideologues who have successfully suborned the Democratic Party. That ‘He Who Shall Not Be Named’ business regarding Karl Marx and the true motivations of our adversaries was getting on my nerves. And I’ve never been one for euphemisms, either. ‘Health Care Reform’ is socialized medicine. ‘Cap-and-trade’ legislation is government takeover of the energy industry using the flimsiest of pretexts. ‘Stimulus’ was never meant to serve its publicly stated purpose as as a job creator or economic recovery package. The purpose of these monies was and is to pay off Dem interest groups and voting blocs and to pump money into the districts of like-minded Democrat incumbents just prior to the 2010 elections, consolidating and advancing Dem gains made during the last election.

All of this is glaringly obvious, to be sure, but we of the loyal opposition need to shed our misconceptions and realize we are not facing the traditional Democratic Party we knew, nor are we facing wishy-washy, eurostyle ‘Social Democrats’, either. What we are facing is a dedicated leadership cadre shielding its goals and source motivations behind euphemisms, semantic sleight-of-hand, and the trappings of politics-as-usual. To them, we are not the ‘loyal opposition’. To them, we are the enemy.

ACORN is sending theirs to training and will do digital prostate exams. It is dirty work but they are used to it.

If I’m remembering correctly, Marx had pretensions of being an intellectual, but ended up working as a janitor.

Karl Marx couldn’t even manage that!

He couldn’t hold a steady job for the life of him!

He sponged off of his family’s wealth for his whole life almost.

If he were alive today… he’d be sponging off of welfare.

Can someone tell me why the hotair.com site only allows you to share via Facebook instead of the previous direct email sharing option? I am not on Facebook and have no interest in a Facebook account. http://www.michellemalkin.com still allows the user to use a direct email sharing option.

Thanks.

It’s about time that people started using “Marxism,” in their depictions or comments about Obama. When Conservatives use euphemisms like “liberal,” or “progressive,” they do the bidding of the Socialists that want to take our country over, demolish it, and re-make it into another failed Socialist state.
Call them what they are – Socialists and Communists.
