Double, double, toil and trouble;
Fire burn and cauldron bubble. — Macbeth, Act 4
This incantation of the three demonic witches over their cauldron heralds the downfall of King Macbeth.
It’s not witches, but the three warlocks of the new administration — President Barack Obama, his chief Chicago-machine henchman Rahm Emanuel, and his tax-cheating Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner — who are boiling the American people in a cauldron of their own, not with poisoned entrails, eye of newt, or toe of frog, but with a fatal mixture of a trillion-dollars of so-called “stimulus” dollars, draconian tax hikes, doomed-to-fail bailouts, and additional healthcare and other expenditures that are, above all, designed to bankrupt the United States of America.
As people helplessly watch their life savings, 401(k)s, real estate assets, children’s college funds, financial viability, and everything that affects their jobs, security and investments vanish as the Stock Market hurtles downward toward its crashing point, they hear unmistakably gleeful cackles emanating from the leftist radicals who now occupy the Oval Office and the Congress.
Why are they cackling? Why are they gleeful? Because they have finally been catapulted into power and are now able to translate their deep loathing of everything that has made America great — free-market capitalism, the U.S. Constitution, small government, low taxes — into their own Socialist-cum-Marxist-cum-Communist vision.

“And to bolster his agenda, the puppet-real thing takes to telling big fat whoppers that he trusts the stupid masses will believe. He says his will be the “most transparent” administration in American history but, oops, it’s the least transparent, in fact it is smothered in secrecy. He says the American people will have five days to read on the Internet any bill he submits but, oops, never happens! He says that no bill he submits to the Congress will have earmarks but, oops, the last bill had 8,500 slabs of pork. He says he will not pay for weapons systems “we don’t use” but, oops, fails to tell the American people that he is abandoning the Ballistic-Missile Defense and not upgrading nuclear weapons, submarines, and other vital weapons imperative for our defense – in essence making sure that the superb, heroic and second-to-none U.S. Military will be unable to defend our country from the many enemies that have vowed to annihilate us. That, and a concerted effort to quash gun ownership right here at home, which will further insure a defenseless America. Have I mentioned just how much the radical left loathes our country?”
I keep seeing comparisons to MacBeth, but Obama lacks the depth for such a comparison to hold. He’s married to one Stygian Witches, with another for a grandmother. And, Lady MacBeth plots betrayal in the State Department, despite professions of fealty.
We’ll just have to wait and see how this upside down and backward MacBeth thing works out, but it doesn’t sound any more promising.
I haven’t read Marx, perse’, but I know the means to the goal is to creat chaos and destruction. Thence, from the ashes and smoke, arises communism perfected. It was an interesting social theorem for discussion and critique in the universities and hash houses of 1895.
My grandparents were part of that great social experiment that went catastrophically awry and tens of millions perished in pogroms, exterminations and forced starvation. They barely escaped in 1919 with only their lives, came here and fell in love with America.
If my grandfather were alive today, he would be literally seething over what is happening in our great country. I’ll seeth for him! Obama is an interloper, a foreigner, and a radical socilist (i.e. communist). With the reins of power that he now holds, he will no doubt attempt to create much havoc and destruction.
Those of us who value our rights more than our comfort must rise to the occasion and stop this dark rehash of failed history. America is not czarist Russia. Obama will not succeed in the long run. But it will take fortitude and moral commitment to bring this beast to its knees.
Conservatives, suck it up and put principle ahead of power, and lets become a force that cannot be reckoned with.
Obama’s White House Rule #1, REVISED:
Beginning in 2010, Malia Obama will have to give 39% of her babysitting earnings to her sister Sasha.
Of course, Sasha will get merely 30% of Malia’s earnings because the government bureaucrat who handles the redistribution will skim off the other 9% for salary, office rental, office furniture, and payment of utilities bills.
The populace has been so dumbed down (by the government, media, and academia) that there are no historical lessons or powerful logic that will convince them we're heading for a downfall. Only a combination of their own fear and pain will get their attention, not unlike what happened during the Carter era.
