A new philosophy, the same results
In the past several decades the Democratic Party has undergone several name changes. They went from being called liberals to being called progressive. After the 2000 election they went from being known as the Democrat Party to being the Democratic Party. The new name they should adopt is NEO-MARXIST. Neo means new and we all know what a Marxist is.
In the 1990s first lady Hillary Clinton decided to nationalize the flu vaccine industry. This brilliant idea led to the closing of four of the five American companies producing the flu vaccine. This caused the shortages we experienced in the first few years of the 2000s.
The Neo-Marxist leaders of the Democratic Party today have called for:
1. The nationalizing of the oil companies. This will really get the oil production to increase!
2. The nationalizing of the oil refineries. They have blocked the building of new ones for 30 years. We are to trust them to do the maintenance on the old ones? Not a chance!
3. The nationalizing of the drug companies. They destroyed the American flu vaccine industry. What harm would these fools cause the entire drug industry?
4. The now head of the Neo-Marxist party, the Sometimes Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, wants to confiscate the "excess profits of the oil companies" and add a "windfall profit tax." This "idea" will not add one drop of oil to the economy and cause a further reduction in supply. This was idiotic when the other Illinois Senator Comrade Durbin, Comrade Reid and Comrade Pelosi floated the idea earlier in the year. They want to "punish" the oil companies but the only ones going to be harmed are the American people and the stockholders (mom and pop) of the oil companies. The Neo-Marxists always bemoan the profits of the oil companies but never credit them for the excessive taxes they and we already pay.
5. The Neo-Marxist Barack Obama was not sad that the price of gas had reached $4.00 a gallon, he was sad that "it had reached that price too quickly." He actually said that!
6. The nationalizing of the health-care industry. This wonderful idea has worked so well in England, Canada and other Socialist countries that some of their wealthier citizens and politicians come here for proper health care.
The Neo-Marxist Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi refused to allow the Republic party a vote on opening up drilling. Before the most recent recess (vacation) of Congress she closed the House of Representatives. In true Soviet fashion, she ordered the lights and microphones closed off. For the past three weeks, Republican representatives have continued to debate in the House of Representatives, in the dark and without microphones. With shame this paper and many of the so-called independent press have ignored this story. Someday we will truly have a free and independent press and not a Democratic-Party-line-towing press.
The Neo-Marxist Democratic Party wants to control every facet of our lives. They must be stopped and stopped this year. Their last two years of failure controlling Congress has proved they are not ready to lead or help the American economy.
