Well, we used to call them slums or, at the least, government housing; we are supposed to call it “public housing.”

What a guy. What a philosophy.

Fourth Reich on November 4? Not sure, but one thing is certain and that is he will herald in yet another attempt at what has been tried before.. One of my all time favorite poems, by Rudyard Kipling, has a little something to say about it:

In the Carboniferous Epoch we were promised abundance for all,

By robbing selected Peter to pay for collective Paul;
But, though we had plenty of money, there was nothing our money could buy,

And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: “If you don’t work you die.”

Then the Gods of the Market tumbled, and their smooth-tongued wizards withdrew

And the hearts of the meanest were humbled and began to believe it was true

That All is not Gold that Glitters, and Two and Two make Four

And the Gods of the Copybook Headings limped up to explain it once more.

As it will be in the future, it was at the birth of Man
There are only four things certain since Social Progress began.

That the Dog returns to his Vomit and the Sow returns to her Mire,

And the burnt Fool’s bandaged finger goes wabbling back to the Fire;

And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins

When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins,

As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn, The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return!

Truth be told, the great (manufactured) hatred that leftists have for Fascists has nothing to do with ecomomics or politics; rather, it has to do with Hitler’s double cross of Stalin when he broke the Nazi-Soviet pact and invaded Russia. It turned the American Left — which had here-to-fore been anti-war isolationists — into rabid anti-German warmongers. THE FASCISTS ATTACKED MOTHER RUSSIA, THE WORKERS PARADISE!

Modern American Liberalism’s quest for control of our economy is very much in line with fascist ideology. All the perks of business ownership with none of the responsibility.

That’s why the catastrophic incompetence of Fannie Mae and Feddie Mac, which, as quasi-government institutions were heavily regulated by government, is downplayed by the politicians, while the efforts of less regulated lending institutions are demonized.

Obama a Marxist? Perhaps. But more likely a Fascist.

A guy who likes to vote “present” rather than take a stand would not like the burden of actually being responsible for the economy; his inexperience and incompetence would too quickly become evident. Better to let competent people take the risks, and if they fail, he can criticize and pontificate from the sidelines.

Does the Fourth Reich begin on 4 November?

I wonder what the “real” number is. Word on the street puts it in the wheelhouse of $90,000. So for all you combined teacher salaried people out there, he’s coming after your wallet too!
