smear campaign

From a journalistic standpoint, the meteoric rise and even more startling fall  of the giant Democratic socio-Marxist monster combined with the massive uprising of the American people, is being on the front row giving witness to truly historic events. From a political standpoint, it’s the continual efforts in favor of the goal of winning our country back. The greater the estimates I hear regarding the creaming the Democrats are destined to take, the more vigilant and suspicious I become.

The DeMarxists are masters of the underhanded and will seldom allow the legality, and most specifically the morality, of issues to deter them. Yet most of the time when confronted they will back down. It’s just like when you get into it with one of them (the left). They will not argue the substance of any issue, but will instead attempt to redirect the question so as to be able to demagogue it. Failing that, they’ll go into the usual canned clichés and if they still can’t get through to you, they’ll burn the barn and use terms like ‘birther’ or ‘homophobe’, and of course there is always the ultimate smear du jour, ‘racist’.

We can expect to see every sleazy trick in the book. In fact, we are already seeing the desperate personal attacks being mounted against conservative candidates in New York and the assault on Senator John Boehner, both prime examples of DeMarxist skullduggery.

It’s not going to work. Or at least, it’s not going to affect enough people to alter the political blitzkrieg that’s a bare 43 days away and counting.

Barack Hussein Obama is as lame a duck as any president in living memory. He is so far outside the frame of American thinking as to have created an alien environment in the White House. He and his entire Marxist government do not have the faintest idea what makes this country run, and even less about what it was, and is, that makes this the greatest country in the world and in the history of the world.

I’ve organized my extended family clan into a conservative voting spear to thrust into the belly of the liberal beast here in the Bay Area… some of these folks have never voted before. That’s something you can do too. Start with family and friends. There’s not a whole lot of time left. Get excited! Get involved!

The resignation of "green jobs" czar Van Jones over the weekend drew little attention from mainstream media (even the New York Times admitted they were late on the piece) with the exception of those who were outraged that such an extraordinarily accomplished man -- author of a best-selling novel with a law degree from Yale to boot -- could be vilified so egregiously and forced to resign prematurely. Sure, he's made a few nasty comments about Republicans, admitted to converting to Communism (while in prison!) in the 1990s, and signed a petition to investigate the involvement of the Bush administration in the attacks on September 11. But come on, a Yale Law degree! And a best-selling novel! Aren't those ample qualifications to work at the White House?

I would suspect that Jones' very own mentor, Karl Marx, were he alive and writing today, would not have a difficult time being accepted to Yale on the grounds of "academic diversity" and would remain on the New York Times' Best-sellers list for years. After all, Columbia invited Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to speak for those very reasons, and the Communist Manifesto isn't exactly the least popular item on reading lists across the country, I hear.

The amazing thing to me is that he is being defended by the Left despite these revelations. They often cite his apologetic tone for signing the petition or becoming a communist, and instead focus on his passionate pursuit of creating “green jobs” that will, admittedly, need to be created to compensate for the millions of jobs inevitably destroyed if current environmental legislation is passed in the Senate. He is, of course, a victim of a “smear campaign” being propagated by the Right, not to be confused with the smear campaigns of the Left brought against people like, as a random example, Joe the Plumber, who has absolutely no role in government but instead had the audacity to challenge future-president Barrack Obama. The result of his confrontation with the candidate was an investigation into his past personal and financial records to determine if he was in fact as indigent as he had initially claimed. If only the White House dug this deep when appointing czars, the whole situation with Mr. Jones may have been avoided entirely.
