This would, however, require a certain amount of integrity on the part of the Republicans and integrity seems to be in short supply amongst our political class these days.

If America is going to have at least one political party who will stand up for us, it will need to propose an agenda that confronts the entire crypto-marxist agenda being unveiled under BHO.

I honestly wonder if McCain or Kyl or Schwarzenneger have the balls.

So, the assault on your God-given right to liberty, such as freedom of speech and freedom of religion, will occur in tandem with your property rights. This scheme was worked out many years ago in Europe, and it is only now coming to a head here in the United States. God help us.

“The theory of the Communists may be summed up in the single sentence: Abolition of private property” Karl Marx

“In one word, you reproach us with intending to do away with your property. Precisely so; that is just what we intend.” Karl Marx

“You must, therefore, confess that by “individual” you mean no other person than the bourgeois, than the middle-class owner of property. This person must, indeed, be swept out of the way, and made impossible.” Karl Marx

“In short, the Communists everywhere support every revolutionary movement against the existing social and political order of things. In all these movements, they bring to the front, as the leading question in each, the property question, no matter what its degree of development at the time.” Karl Marx

“The proletariat will use its political supremacy to wrest, by degree, all capital from the bourgeoisie, to centralize all instruments of production in the hands of the state… Of course, in the beginning, this cannot be effected except by means of despotic inroads on the rights of property” Karl Marx

“It is no accident that the European Parliament, for example, reminds me of the Supreme Soviet. It looks like the Supreme Soviet because it was designed like it. Similary, when you look at the European Commission it looks like the Politburo. I mean it does so exactly, except for the fact that the Commission now has 25 members and the Politburo usually had 13 or 15 members. Apart from that they are exactly the same, unaccountable to anyone, not directly elected by anyone at all. When you look into all this bizarre activity of the European Union with its 80,000 pages of regulations it looks like Gosplan…. If you go through all the structures and features of this emerging European monster you will notice that it more and more resembles the Soviet Union. Of course, it is a milder version of the Soviet Union. Please, do not misunderstand me. I am not saying that it has a Gulag. It has no KGB .. not yet .. but I am very carefully watching such structures as Europol for example. That really worries me a lot because this organisation will probably have powers bigger than those of the KGB. They will have diplomatic immunity. Can you imagine a KGB with diplomatic immunity? They will have to police us on 32 kinds of crimes .. two of which are particularly worrying, one is called racism, another is called xenophobia. No criminal court on earth defines anything like this as a crime. So it is a new crime, and we have already been warned. Someone from the British government told us that those who object to uncontrolled immigration from the Third World will be regarded as racist and those who oppose further European integration will be regarded as xenophobes.” Vladimir Bukovksy

“It is true that liberty is precious – so precious that it must be carefully rationed.” Vladimir Lenin

“When one makes a Revolution, one cannot mark time; one must always go forward – or go back. He who now talks about the “freedom of the press” goes backward, and halts our headlong course towards Socialism.” Vladimir Lenin

“The press should be not only a collective propagandist and a collective agitator, but also a collective organizer of the masses.” Vladimir Lenin

“A lie told often enough becomes the truth.” Vladimir Lenin

“Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted….Give us the child for 8 years and it will be a Bolshevik forever.” Vladimir Lenin

“We don’t let them have ideas. Why would we let them have guns?” Joseph Stalin

Probably. And it bought Bush’s too – Texas oil money that time, as well as Saudi.

Ways to stop politicians, especially ones in high office, being bought and sold include strict, and low, limits on campaign spending and the size of individual donations – with severe criminal penalties for breaking the rules. Thus bringing grass-roots campaigning back into the picture.

Of course, reducing the amount of oil money sloshing around (by reducing Western dependence on oil) would help immensely in this and many other ways. There are very many ways of accomplishing that reduction, and none of them have been seriously tried; I won’t bore everyone by enumerating them.

I see it as Geert Wilders being charged with saying bad things about Islam. What Obama has in mind most assuredly isn’t just the physical crime of attacking someone — what he has in mind is checking “hate speech”, and I guarantee you that the tippy-top most important part of “hate speech” will not be the “N” word or anything else that matters to Americans. It will be speaking out against Islam.

I was going to say that next I thought we would see the manipulation of the past, as practiced by Communist regimes the world over. But upon reflection I believe we see it already. Not so much in the altered photographs and revised histories, although there is plenty of that, but more in deadening repetitions of the spinmeisters which distort all they declaim.

1984 has been quietly growing among us. I fear it may already be too late.
