In a lame attempt at using humor to make a point, President Obama denigrated Republicans for casting his government takeover of health care as a "Bolshevik plot." Now, putting aside for the moment that you cannot find a single piece of file tape showing ANY Republican using those words, what Obama is really doing is to cleverly cast any opponents of his policies as "fringe" types who should not be taken seriously.
But the fact is, in numerous unguarded moments Obama has shown that he clearly does embrace the Marxist (dare I say, Bolshevik?) view of the world. His "Joe the Plumber" comments were probably the most widely publicized - Obama came right out and said that hard-working entrepreneurs like Joe should be willing to "spread the wealth."
And the Marxist slant of Obama's philosophy was apparent long before he began his political career. Check into his early activities as a "Community Organizer" and you find little more than a garden variety socialist trying to bully private corporations into "spreading the wealth" - their wealth of course, never his.
Obama's own mother was a committed leftist, and for his entire life, he has been surrounded by people who, quite literally, hate Free Market Capitalism, the very foundation of American prosperity. From the likes of Reverend Wright to the home-grown terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, Obama has been immersed in the teachings and views of radical far-left activists. Obama still worships at the shrine of the unabashedly Marxist Saul Alinsky (who, coincidentally, was also a "community organizer").
So it should surprise no one, least of all Obama himself, that his policies are seen for what they are - socialism. And attempting to hide the obvious by ridiculing those who disagree with him simply doesn't work anymore. Poll after poll shows a rising tidal wave of opposition to the direction Obama and the Democrats are taking the country - the 2010 mid-term elections are now beginning to look like an outright massacre for Democrats.
We can only hope...
