Progressing
Much kudos to Glenn Beck for exposing the strategy behind the Obama administration's rush to "fundamentally transform America". Observing the politics behind the present administration's shotgun approach to governing puts a logical face to the idiotic proposals these people have been blasting the country with for the past year. Didn't he just say in January he was going to concentrate on jobs? Yeah, like he can really create any new jobs. But he's back on health care. And he still talks about cap and trade. And nationalizing the student loan system. After essentially taking over GM and Chrysler and giving much control to the unions and elevating the head of SEIU to one on one talks.
Looking at the health insurance issue, it makes no sense to think that adding 30 million people, Dems numbers, to the health insurance rolls without an increase in doctors or medical staff and cutting payments to doctors under Medicare will actually result in better service at cheaper prices and no type of rationing or additional waiting. There is no logic there. It will necessarily overwhelm the health care system and throw it into complete disarray.
It only makes sense as a strategy if you consider Cloward-Piven. These two were Sociologists at Columbia University in the 1960s. They published an article titled "The Weight of the Poor: A Strategy to End Poverty" in Nation magazine in 1966 in which they suggested that the ideal way to transform America is by overwhelming the welfare system by flooding the welfare rolls until the economics of the situation bankrupt it and forces(allows, screams for) government to completely revamp the system closer to socialistic goals. Obama just thinks it works better when the wealth is spread around for everyone.
They argued that the only way to truly achieve the momentum necessary to essentially destroy capitalism and move to a more socialistic society was to recruit as many people as possible, truly poor or not, into the welfare state until it collapsed. Once a system is in crisis and collapses, it can be remade into the image of the maker. By Cloward and Pivens thinking this means more wealth distribution and a far more important role for the Federal government to manage the day to day affairs of it's citizens. Destroy the system and remake it in order to save it. Kind of sounds like George Bush saying he was interfering in the free market to save it when the government rescued the banks.
Anyone who thinks that Obama is not adhering to this philosophy has not taken the time to truly think things through to their logical conclusion. Our president is a dyed-in-the-wool progressive who thinks he and his like-minded elitist friends have all the right answers to all of the country's problems. We are just too stupid to know that Obama knows best.
He stated that he doesn't know how the politics of pushing the massive health care reform bill into law will play out but he just KNOWS that it is the right thing. Trust him, he has all the answers and we need to just let him work his Obama Magic. Have at it then. Onward to destroying America as we have known it. Just progressing.
But health care is just one of many, many issues and areas that team Obama has assaulted with a vengeance in his effort at complete transformation. This is one scary man. Too smart for his own britches and such a good, convincing liar. Of course, it helps when the mainstream media is fully complicit in your goals and objectives.
I observe this man when he speaks and have noticed that he is a very eloquent and dynamic speaker whenever he is reading from a prepared text. But when he has to answer questions on the spur of the moment, he resorts to stammering and drawing out his sentences, as if he is deeply thinking through his answers. Actually, I think he is thinking through his answers but only because he phrases his responses so that they can be taken in more than one way. He is a big picture guy and details weigh him down.
He is really watching his words because he doesn't want to say what he truly believes. If he did, he would lose many of his followers because what he really wants is to remake America into his image, like Cloward and Piven and "Saul Alinsky, Rules for Radicals", and any good progressive would want. He will say whatever is necessary according to his current audience but his core beliefs are wildly different than what he says. His mental Utopia is far different than he would have you believe.
The "fundamental transformation of America" that they are "progressing towards" is total governmental control over everything. Where the rights of the citizens are granted by and revoked by the government who obviously knows best. They will say anything and they will do anything that makes progress towards that goal. The progressive movement is exactly that, a movement towards social control over our economy, our health, our education(which they may already have), our rights, our jobs, our very existence. They won't get there by revolution, rather they will get there step by step. Little by little it happens as it has happened for a century already. One day, very soon, it may be too late to stop the movement and reverse it.
It all just makes me sick to my stomach!
