The Dictatorship of the Proletariat

Like many Americans, I watched C-SPAN for the better part of yesterday. I watched as the Democrat controlled Congress won their "victory" on Health Care. At least we were told it was a victory. In all actuality, what we witnessed was our own Congressional Representatives micturating on the very document they swore to protect and uphold.

I'm not sure which was more ironic. That the party that calls themselves Democrats acted in a manner which completely defied everything within the ethos of Democracy, or that our Congress voted into effect a day to commemorate the Cold War Veterans while voting in the biggest piece of Socialist Legislation in the history of this country at the same time. Somehow, I think all of those men and women who fought, periled, and perished in the fight against Communism and Socialism do not feel honored by this.

For years now, I have heard many people refer to Liberals, Democrats, and the Left as Communists and Socialists. I myself have noticed these behavioral patterns and have used these terms to describe them. However, after yesterday, watching their complete incompetence and ineptitude, I wondered to myself: Just how good a Communist are they? After some minor research, I came to the conclusion: Not very.

The key to successfully destroying Capitalism is having a really big beard...

To truly understand Communism, you have to start with the father of the ideology--Karl Marx. The basic concept of Marxism revolves around a theory that Capitalism, like Feudalism before it, is a flawed socioeconomic system which will eventually fail and be replaced by Socialism. Socialism would, in turn, lead to a "stateless, classless society" he called Pure Communism.

In order for this to happen, a transitional period which he termed "The Dictatorship of the Proletariat" had to occur. Marx believed there were two basic classes in a Capitalist society. The Bourgeoisie (Capitalists--e.g. Entrepreneurs) and the Proletariat (Working Class). In order for Socialism to come into effect, the Proletariat had to rise up against the Bourgeoisie and take over causing this Dictatorship of the Proletariat.

According to Rosa Luxemburg, a turn of the century Marxist theorist and philosopher:

"This dictatorship consists in the manner of applying democracy, not in its elimination, but in energetic, resolute attacks upon the well-entrenched rights and economic relationships of bourgeois society, without which a socialist transformation cannot be accomplished. This dictatorship must be the work of the class, and not of a little leading minority in the name of the class — that is, it must proceed step by step out of the active participation of the masses; it must be under their direct influence, subjected to the control of complete public activity; it must arise out of the growing political training of the mass of the people."

Given this definition, the only conclusion one can come to is: If the Liberals are really Communists, they are failing miserably. 75% of Americans did not want anything to do with the Health Care Bill. They not only didn't want it passed, they wanted it killed. If this isn't a "little leading minority in the name of the class," I don't know what is. They may control the Congress, but this is 253 people speaking for 308.9 million people--3/4 of which are opposed to their agenda.

Adding further insult to injury, Marxist canon is fundamentally opposed to liberal democracy. Marx believed that the capitalist state cannot be democratic by its nature, because it represents the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie. He viewed liberal democracy as an "unrealistic utopia," because in a capitalist state all "independent" media and most political parties are controlled by capitalists and one either needs large financial resources or to be supported by the bourgeoisie to win an election.

After researching this, it is little wonder that most Left-Wing ideologues have largely rejected Marx and Marxism. This raises the question: If you reject Karl Marx and the philosophies of Marxism, how can you call yourself a Communist? The answer is, you can't.

This leads us to one final question: They're not Americans, they're not Capitalists, they're not Socialists, they're not Communists...so what are they? In a word, culls.

Behind The Deuce

Article

Today the penultimate case in the decades long battle over the 2nd Amendment is being presented before The Supreme Court of the United States of America. McDonald v. City of Chicago will finally decide the question: Does the regulation and legislation of the inalienable right of the 2nd Amendment lie within the hands of the Federal Government or the hands of the individual States?

For more than 25 years now, anti-gun lobbyists and the left-wing fringe have tried to impose gun regulations and bans based on a notion that the meaning and intent of the 2nd Amendment was up to interpretation, and that there was no clear judicial interpretation or precedent of either the Amendment itself or of the Founding Fathers' intent.

Today, as The Supreme Court hears McDonald v. City of Chicago, they will have to make that judicial interpretation. Even though their decision isn't expected until the end of June, they will have to decide--once and for all--what the 2nd Amendment means.

It's a Right the Left needs to stay out of.

In 2008, the Supreme Court's ruling on District of Columbia v. Heller decided that it was an individuals right to "keep and bear arms." It also decided that handguns were indeed "arms." It further stated that the Federal Government did not have the right to dictate to an individual citizen whether they could:

A. Have firearms within their household for private use.

B. Store a loaded firearm within said household.

C. Regulate or Legislate terms on the functionality of a firearm (e.g., disassembly or trigger-locks.) within said household.

Although it seemed like a major breakthrough, the victory was bittersweet. Even though it did break ground on the issue, the decision only referred to Federal Enclaves (Washington, D.C.), it did not specify whether or not this should apply to States, Counties, or Cities. Because the District of Columbia was a Federal Enclave, the city was using that as a loophole to allow for the ban.

It was also stated by the court:

"Although we do not undertake an exhaustive historical analysis today of the full scope of the Second Amendment, nothing in our opinion should be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms."

McDonald v. City of Chicago will now have to decide whether a State or any other ruling body has the right to regulate or legislate gun policy other than The United States Government. Additionally, NRA v. City of Chicago is being heard separately, but in conjunction with McDonald. The NRA's case will pose the question of the constitutionality of a regulation which disallows the registration of handguns.

The Supreme Justices seemed to be all over the map today while hearing McDonald v. City of Chicago, which means not only will the final decision be interesting, there will be a lot of finger-crossing, teeth-gritting, and hand-wringing going on up to the last minute. However, given the scope of District of Columbia v. Heller, and its direct ruling on the classification of handguns being "arms," I predict a ruling will be made in the NRA's favor on NRA v. City of Chicago.

March Madness

Many Americans watched last week as President Obama crashed and burned during The Great Health Care Summit. Let's face it, when all you are is smoke and mirrors, you don't let the curtain down. Meaning, he was more well liked when people knew less about him. Americans being able to see him in action caused a backlash from both sides of the issue. Even his biggest fanboy Matt Damon has backed out from under him.

However, I had the great displeasure of catching his weekly address yesterday. It has been clear from the beginning that he knows every cheap parlor trick in the book, but he went way too far this time. Using the Olympics, the Olympic Spirit, and teamwork as a segue to a yes-we-can-let's-work-as-a-team prank to sell a dying health care bill to Americans was as stale as that pretzel that's been under the couch cushions since last July.

Watch out, Barack, your slip is showing.

The problem is, you can't sell Socialized Medicine to Americans. Even if you label it "Health Care," "Health Care Reform," "Government-run Health Care," or "Free Jujyfruits For Everyone," you're never going to sell it. It is especially hard to sell when you're using it as a veil to hide an unmistakable Democratic power grab. Add to that, all of your main objectives like Tort Reform, Mandatory Coverage, and Government Regulation are completely illegal, unconstitutional, and beyond the Powers of Congress outlined within the U.S. Constitution--et voila!--you have another dead whale on the beach.

Mmm...Jujyfruits.

As both an American and a member of what is affectionately known as "The Public," it further polarizes me against the entire issue when I see articles like this: Article

Even as President Obama prepares to convene a televised summit on health care reform designed to showcase his newfound commitment to “bipartisanship,” the White House and congressional Democrats have been finalizing their plans to ram through a health care bill using a little-known and seldom-used parliamentary gimmick known as “reconciliation.”

For those not versed in the arcane rules of the U.S. Senate, reconciliation is not what a divorced couple attempts when they visit Dr. Phil. It is a mechanism for avoiding filibusters on certain budgetary issues. If Democrats can find a way to apply it to health care reform, they could pass a bill with just 51 votes, negating the election of Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown and the loss of the 60-seat supermajority.

Reconciliation was established in 1974 to make it easier for Congress to adjust taxes and spending in order to “reconcile” actual revenues and expenditures with a previously approved budget resolution. Thus, at the end of the year, if Congress found that it was running a budget deficit higher than previously projected, it could quickly raise taxes or cut spending to bring the budget back into line. Debate on such measures was abbreviated to just 20 hours (an eyeblink in Senate terms), and there could be no filibuster.

We're supposed to believe they just thought of this in last minute desperation. We're also supposed to forget that Obama has been trying to associate Health Care Reform with the Economy for months now. The present state of the Health Care System has little to no effect on the state of the economy to begin with, but it clearly has nothing whatsoever to do with the present state of the economy. Passing a 1.6 trillion dollar health care bill only affects the economy in one way: It puts us that much further in debt. Yet, if we can tie them together, then we can spin it so it becomes a "budgetary issue," and then we can use Reconciliation to close the deal.

Nevermind, Obama hasn't been laying the groundwork for this for months, this really is just a last minute act of desperation to pass a highly debated, extremely controversial health care bill that the majority of Americans do not want. I'm going to go back to eating my free Jujyfruits. I heard a rumor that they're made out of Kool-Aid. Delicious.

Besides, I'm sure he has better things to concern himself with, like licking his wounds after the special kick to the groin he received today when Warren Buffet, a name Obama liked to drop every five minutes on the Campaign Trail, said the Health Care Bill needed to be scrapped.

The Deep End

There's an infamous scene in the movie Se7en, where Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt are taking Kevin Spacey's "John Doe" to a remote location to inevitably decide their fates. In the car on the way there, Pitt asks Spacey if he knew the exact moment when he lost his mind.

Well, if you ever wondered the same thing, do psychopaths know the exact moment when they lose their minds, here's what it looks like:

Selleck Waterfall Sandwich

Tom Selleck's Portuguese speaking mustache

loves fluffernutters as much as Flipper...

According to the artist, Greg Szmurlo, creator of the web site Selleck Waterfall Sandwich, he was inspired by a recent dream he had of Tom Selleck eating a sandwich in a beautiful, springtime meadow. "Tom Selleck's mustache spoke to me in Portuguese and told me to 'make this dream a reality.' But on second thought, the mustache insisted on the use of a waterfall setting instead of a meadow."

Incredibly, we're told Selleck has heretofore made no comment. Although it is rare, occasionally, we are graced with a healthy dose of literalism. This is clearly a case where someone has literally gone off the deep end. The deep end of the falls...

Oh, Really?

Words cannot express the feelings I have at the moment about last night's State of the Union address by President Barack Obama. However, I will do my best to try.

Basically what "We the people" heard last night was this:

1. Barack Obama has learned nothing.

2. He will continue with politics as usual.

3. He has completely lost touch with the American people, as well as reality.

4. He will continue to campaign and organize, rather than lead this Country to better times and present the proper solutions to its ever worsening problems.

5. Our President is an elitist bore, who will never admit that he is inexperienced, incompetent, and incapable of learning from his mistakes.

Your Commander and Con.

So where does that leave us? It leaves us with three more horrible years of partisan politics where every month of inaction and ineffective policies will set us back years. For every month that passes that the current situation continues, we will be set back at a minimum of one year.

That is fact, ladies and gentlemen. It's not over-dramatized Nostradamus prophesy. This is reality.

In this fine country, we have what is called a Democracy. A Democracy cannot work without Capitalism. Capitalism is the very blood that flows within the veins of our way of life. This is why Communism and Socialism never lasts, because without Capitalism, a form of Government cannot survive. Capitalism equals Freedom. There is no clearer equation than that.

Through Obama's actions and inactions, he is killing Capitalism in this country. Everything he is actually doing is killing Capitalism, and everything he is NOT doing is killing Capitalism. Believe it or not, not acting at all is as harmful as taking the wrong action. That is why in leadership, taking action and making a mistake is still better than sitting on your hands and doing nothing because you don't have the courage to do so.

Hence the saying, "It is better to burn out, than to fade away". If you make a mistake, at least you tried. At least you weren't lukewarm, wishy-washy, Laodicean. You made a decision and you acted on it. Yes, it didn't work out, but you didn't sit on your hands. You didn't mess yourself and dive in. You stood up and took a chance, even in the face of grave danger. This is what makes the difference between the Shepherd and the Sheep.

Obama is vanilla. He is nothing. He will do whatever it takes to remain popular...oh wait, that's right, he does NOTHING.

Yet, the most important attribute of a leader, is someone who can learn from their mistakes. If you cannot learn from your mistakes, that means you completely lack common sense, and without commons sense, you might as well walk out into the rain with your head up and your mouth open and drown.

Obama does not learn from his mistakes. He is an elitist. He believes HE knows what's best for you and that you aren't smart enough to know what that is. He has a Congressional and Senatorial majority who believes the same. So what can you draw from that? Three more years of the same catastrophe.

In the days, weeks, months, and years to come, we are going to see a polarized America. We will see a country who will increasingly reject President Obama. Before his term is over, we will witness the most hated, loathed President to ever hold office. We will see the first time a United States President has crashed and burned into flames. Through all of the catastrophes Americans have witnessed, this will be the hardest.

It will be harder than the assassination of John F. Kennedy. It will be harder than the disgrace of Richard M. Nixon. The American people are in for some hard times. One can only hope they will be prepared. The real question here; however, is how will HE react to this? Will Obama's reaction to this situation be catastrophic? Or will he just continue with his current modus operandi and just fade away?

Where There's Smoke, There's Fire.

I originally expressed my disgust and dismay October over the incident which happened at Richmond High in Richmond, California. Words cannot express my feelings at this moment at the horror and disgust I feel today.

A 15-year-old girl was raped by two men Friday night after the assailants and two other men forced her into a car at gunpoint in Richmond, the same city where a high school student was gang raped after leaving her homecoming dance in October, police said Saturday.

The girl attacked Friday was walking to her Richmond home at 5 p.m. when four men in a black Buick pulled up to her on Cutting Boulevard near Stege Avenue, police Sgt. Bisa French said.

The girl did not know the men and refused to answer as they called out to her several times, police Lt. Mark Gagan said.

One of the men then jumped from the car and forced her inside at gunpoint, the girl told police. They drove around for several hours before stopping at an unknown location, where two of the men sexually assaulted her, French said.

They released her near the bus turnaround at Contra Costa Community College, where a San Pablo police officer found her around midnight, Gagan said. She was taken to a hospital and received a sexual assault exam, then was released.

Police said the girl described the men as being in their 20s; one was African American with long dreadlocks and had the word "money" tattooed on the side of his neck, she said. No one has been arrested.

"When you have someone taken off the street at gunpoint and sexually assaulted, these suspects are looking at life in prison," Gagan said.

I have to fight back the urge to vomit as I read this story. I was extremely dismayed at the incident which happened in October, as a poor girl was repeatedly raped for two and a half hours right outside a high school gymnasium which was supposedly guarded by several police officers and security guards. After seeing this, I have no doubt that not only, should all of the police officers of the Richmond California Police Department be fired, they should be prosecuted for gross negligence. This makes me so disgusted and enraged, I feel like packing up a kit and going over to Richmond to serve up some vigilante justice ala Charles Bronson in Death Wish.

Don't worry, it's just the Richmond Police...Carry on.

What exactly are they doing in Richmond? They're still looking for the quote "seventh suspect" in the original offense, and this happens. It sounds to me like, the Richmond Police are beyond just being incompetent, it sounds to me like they are in on it! So much for Richmond being a good community and that we should not judge them based on this one incident. I think they got their one pass, and now they need to face the music.

This is beyond gross negligence. This is beyond incompetence. This is beyond societal neglect. There is a real problem in Richmond California, and something needs to be done about it. For something this vile and preposterous to happen once is one thing. For it to happen twice shows a clear and present problem which needs to be investigated and addressed. Some officials need to go to jail over this. I say we start with Lt. Mark Gagan, the man who is oh so quick to jump in front of the cameras and grab all the press after he and his inept police force drop the ball.

Gagan said police do not believe there is any link between Friday's attack and the Oct. 24 gang rape of a 16-year-old Richmond High School girl. In that case, six young men ages 15 to 21 have been charged with sexually assaulting the sophomore, who police say was repeatedly raped for two hours after leaving the homecoming dance while as many as 20 people watched.

The attack took place on the Richmond High campus, about a mile and a half northwest of where the girl reported being kidnapped Friday.

On Friday, Richmond police said they were looking for a seventh suspect in the Richmond High rape, 43-year-old John Crane Jr. Investigators said Crane raped the victim while she was unconscious. They have not been able to locate him, despite an intensive manhunt.

Oh, really? Richmond is really that big of a place that an "intense manhunt" can ensue and no one is found? Well, okay, we'll be nice and buy that line, but guess what Mark, it happened AGAIN! Only a mile away on the same campus, IN BROAD DAYLIGHT! Oh, but you're still looking for the seventh suspect for the original rape which happened over THREE MONTHS AGO! Who is to blame here? I wonder.

Adam Lambert Is Gay. We Get It.

Article

The entertainment news is full of anger and outrage today because following the cancellation of Adam Lambert's Good Morning America appearance, it was learned an interview and performance was scheduled for Chris Brown. Feminists and Gay Activists are wondering why a rapper convicted of abusing his girlfriend rates over an openly gay singer. Like anything, there's more to this story.

Adam Lambert is gay. This is supposed to mean something to us. Why? I'm not sure, but we're just supposed to go with it. As is the ABC Network. The evil, gay-hating, abuse-loving ABC Network. Dirty, naughty, bad ABC Network....had enough yet? Me too.

ABC aired the American Music Awards. They commissioned Lambert to give a performance during the awards. Lambert rehearsed his act in front of the producers and censors and it met their approval. However, this was not the performance that Lambert gave when the awards aired. He completely changed his performance, and he added several lewd acts in the mix. This caused viewer outrage and a backlash which ABC may or may not recover from.

Following his AMA performance, ABC canceled Lambert's appearance on the Good Morning America show, because even though they'd barely skated by the previous night due to the time he gave the performance, they didn't want to take a chance of him pulling more shenanigans during a morning slot when they definitely would be fined.

Yep, that pretty much says it all...

I bet ABC feels like this guy right about now.

The truth of the matter is, Chris Brown was booked way before any of this even happened. If you haven't been living under a rock, you've heard of the Chris Brown hoopla. It's been out for months, and his scheduling for Good Morning America was to be in response to Rhianna's recent interview. It's also a lot more important than Adam Lambert trying to extend his fifteen minutes of fame in the entertainment world.

Is entertainment news really important at all? No. Does a famous superstar couple airing their dirty laundry in the media beat out an attention queen with a gay agenda acting the part on a music awards show? Yes.

Yet still, we have to hear about how this is discrimination against gays, and how we're supposed to accept Lambert's irresponsible acts because it's all about gay rights and freedom of speech. Well, Adam, here's a clue: If you want to exercise your freedom of speech--go right ahead, but do it on your own dime, not someone else's.

Are we really going to blame ABC for reacting this way after the Janet Jackson/Justin Timberlake fiasco? Adam Lambert didn't just go with the flow once he took the stage, this was a completely planned out ruse. He deliberately auditioned one act to pass the censors, and then bent ABC over and rammed it home the minute he took stage. All so he could push his gay agenda, and cause a big enough controversy to make the headlines.

What is ABC's message to Lambert in all of this? You deceived us and put us in a compromising position. We can't afford to be fined for your puerile little whimsies. We no longer trust you. Have a nice career on another network.

What is my message to Lambert in all of this? You're gay. We get it. No one cares. Being gay doesn't make you special anymore than being straight makes me special. You either have talent, or you don't. Your gay agenda has no place here. If you have to shove your gayness in everyone's face to get them to notice you, then you're a no-talent hack who needs to quit music and go be a tax lawyer.
