Do they understand us as Americans?

I was reading Karl Marx recently. Marx wrote about how to turn a country from a capitalist nation into a socialist state. Step 1: destroy its economy. Step 2: make the people dependent on government. Step 3: maintain an atmosphere of class warfare. Once that happens, the government has inexorable control over the masses and can manipulate them as they please.

I wonder how much Marx’s writings have influenced the Obama administration. I don’t think I’m being paranoid when I say that it seems as if the Obama administration is pulling plays directly from the Karl Marx playbook.

Why would you destroy the small-business owner if you really want to create economic stability? How do you save the American economy by giving billions of dollars to corporate giants that are rushing headlong into collapse, instead of funneling it directly to small-business owners who could be the engine of economic revival?

Do we really see our values reflected in the policies espoused by the president, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid? Do they understand us as Americans? Didn’t they see the handwriting on the wall when the Republicans recaptured the traditionally Democratic state of New Jersey during this week’s special elections?

Just because exit polls show that people still like the president, it doesn’t mean that they agree with the socialist policies he is foisting on the country. Maybe this president really does believe that the public is a gaggle of inferiors who cling to their guns and Bibles. Maybe it is time that we sent a message that we still believe in the values that made this country great — even if our increasingly socialist president does not.
