I found this wonderful blogger/cartoonist at DrawForTruth. This cartoon actually states in a picture what can only be described is how Americans feel today about the healthcare reform bill being crammed down our throats right now.
They reportedly have the votes for tomorrow, but it still doesn’t make the bill right for America. God help us.
Wow… just wow. Glenn introduced us to a fabulous new ’social’ group today. They are all members of The Brecht Forum. Who are they you ask? The Brecht Forum website offers several neat-o commie options, touting the New York Marxist School. Amazing. Simply. Amazing. On their “About Us” page? Here’s the ‘fun’ stuff:
The BRECHT FORUM is a place for people who are working for social justice, equality and a new culture that puts human needs first. Through its programs and events, the Brecht Forum brings people together across social and cultural boundaries and artistic and academic disciplines to promote critical analysis, creative thinking, collaborative projects and networking in an independent community-level environment.
Jed Brandt, apparently a member of this communist group, goes on to tell us how he really feels about Capitalism and the United States of America.
Oh yeah… they’re going to TAKE our insurance companies, TAKE all the farms, and they will also SHUT DOWN the military apparatus of this country! (That last one will be real fun to watch. EPIC. FAIL.)
And about that New York Marxist School?
When people attempt to resolve the problems that plague everyday life and even threaten survival on this planet, from poverty, disease, discrimination and alienation to war, economic crisis and environmental devastation, they come face to face with difficult questions: Can society be changed significantly for the better? What kind of changes would be needed? and, Who could bring about such changes?
Questions like these are what motivated Karl Marx and Fredrick Engels to develop a method for studying the dynamics of change in societies.
In 1975, a group of civil rights, community, labor, and student activists came together to found the Brecht Forum’s New York Marxist School. They saw the study of marxism as central, not as a dogma but as a living current of thought and as a vital tool for understanding capitalist society. They believed that the study of our reality, an informed public, clear-headed reflection on our actions, and an open, and inclusive space for the exchange of experience and discussion and debate of ideas are all essential to the kind of movement we need if we want to create a better world..
Their collective vision combined with their commitment to the struggle for social transformation led them to develop a vital, non-sectarian institution that could offer serious study and discussion of social and political issues in a non-academic, community-level setting.
And according to their YouTube Channel:
The BRECHT FORUM is a place for people who are working for social justice, equality and a new culture that puts human needs first. Through its programs and events, the Brecht Forum brings people together across social and cultural boundaries and artistic and academic disciplines to promote critical analysis, creative thinking, collaborative projects and networking in an independent community-level environment.
Sounds like a SUPER fun group of folks to hang around with, doesn’t it? I’m going to have to do some more digging into this Jed Brandt character. Stay tuned, folks.
Today on Beck, he outlined not only the private-sector record of the presidential appointments going back to 1900, he also gave us a glimpse as to why the Obama administration seems to have a blind spot when it comes to the private sector and, to a greater extent, capitalism.
Coincidence? I think not. As Beck and many others have noted, government is not the answer; it’s quite often the problem. And this new data of private-sector experience just proves the point. Obama has surrounded himself with public-sector lackeys to do his progressive bidding.
Glenn Beck today reflected on Van Jones’ resignation over this past weekened, saying he didn’t deserve credit for it, although he received just that all weekend long via Twitter, email and voice mail. Glenn wonders, as do I, why the ONLY thing folks seemingly find a problem with is his participation as a 9/11 “truther.”
A truther? That’s it? That’s all folks are concerned about? There is MUCH more disturbing information about Jones that should be MORE troubling to ALL Americans! Examples include his past self-avowed proclamation as a Communist, his work as a revolutionary for S.T.O.R.M., his respect and admiration of Che & other dictators, his link to the groups who want to free cop-killer Mumia Abu Jamal (also a self-avowed Communist), his links with the California “CopWatch” group, his assertion that “white polluters” were intentionally poisoning people of color, his desires to use the Green movement to get “social justice” for people of color, his disdain for the people of Isreal, his past as a black nationalist, and on and on and on. I could go for much longer, but I think you get my point.
The most troubling aspect of this whole thing to me is this: Even though Van Jones resigned, the White House never said they disagreed with Jones’ politics; only that they were sad to see him go.
Folks, I ask you to watch this video a few times and ask yourself a few questions:
- Can you support a president who does not disavow the beliefs of a man like Van Jones?
- How many other of the “czars” are there in the Obama Administration that we need to know about?
- If the White House doesn’t vet people like Van Jones, even with the cabinet-level position questionnaire others hand to answer, how can you trust any of their other unaccountable appointments?
- Are you willing to blindly trust anything that this administration, and/or the Democrat-controlled Congress tries to thrust upon this nation?
If you answered “no” or “I’m not sure” to ANY of these questions folks, we are in trouble. As you saw today, as Van Jones is on the way out, Ron Bloom is the newest czar of Manufacturing. How much longer will you allow this to continue? And don’t give me this crap about “what can I do?” You can do your due diligence as AMERICANS, stand up and tell this government you will NOT TAKE THIS ANYMORE!
Obama and Congress…DON’T TREAD ON ME!!!!
I’ll see you guys next Saturday in D.C. I’ll be there for the march, and I hope to see you there, as well. It’s time to make our voices heard. We are the silent majority NO MORE!
Stuart Varney sitting in for Neil Cavuto today discussed the newest Czar appointment of Ron Bloom, to be the new Manufacturing Jobs Czar. This is in addition to his current position as the Auto Task Force Czar. Liberal talk radio host, Mike Papantonio, was on to extoll the virtues of big labor and unions, and Stuart was having none of it.
Seriously… how can anyone in this day and age defend Big Labor? And don’t you just LOVE the wealth envy by Papantonio?
And to the Constitutional Watchdogs out there, you know your next homework assignment – get going on it! I’ve already gotten some video, but I’m sure there’s more to be had. Big Labor has NO place in the American capitalist free-market economy, and any administration that pushes it forward as a stalwart ally to the American worker is just out-right lying to you. Stuart Varney gives a first-hand account of his encounter with union bullies.
I hope all Americans, left and right, shun this attempted shift back toward labor unions. They’ve crippled this country long enough. And by the way… how’s that class warfare workin’ out for ya, Papantonio?
Today Rick Folbaum, sitting in for Shepard Smith on Studio B, had Judge Andrew Napolitano on to discuss the constitutionality of the Obama administration’s appoinment of the 30+ czars to date. This was in light of former Green Jobs Czar, Van Jones, who resigned at 12:01 AM on Sunday this past Labor Day weekend.
The more the administration tries to explain things, the more questions are brought to bear: Are the Czars vetted? Does the FBI do background checks? How much money do they make? What kind of power do they have in decision-making in the Obama Administration? Who funds them? Who appoints them? What is their experience, and who vouches for their character? How much experience, and better yet, what KIND of experience do they bring to the job? What Cabinet-level positions do they supercede in making decision for the Executive Branch?
So, so many questions, yet so few answers. And Van Jones is only the beginning. It’s not Van Jones; it’s the entire administration’s unflinching appointment of unaccountable people to positions of power within the White House about which we, as a representative Republic, REQUIRE answers!
Who will be the first to ask? And will we get answers? Without amateur citizen journalism (read “Google searches”), we might not have known anything about Van Jones’ sorry, anti-American, communist, corrupt past?
Let “bathtub boy” dispatch his minions to dig up dirt on Stu & Beck all they want – but honestly… how much “dirt” can 4 people dig up?
I, for one, am going to continue MY search into ALL of the non-elected czars appointed by this president. And don’t think for one minute that I am alone – I am not. The White House cannot scrub the web fast enough to prevent the unraveling of their anti-capitalist, social-justice agenda.
As I told a person recently who saw my anti-Obama bumper stickers and said “you’re playing with fire with that” implying my car might be damaged, I just looked at him and said “I love my country more than my car.” So if they want to come after me for displaying anti-Obama bumper stickers, or Googling Obama’s questionable appointments, I just have one response….bring it on!
