“The Sunday Morning Bray”, by Bray!

Exodus 15:26 He said, “If you listen carefully to the LORD your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep all his decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the LORD, who heals you.”

It seems that something as horrific as Ebola finally is showing the world how inefficient and corrupt Marxism is. You can call it communism, socialism or progressivism, they are all synonyms for Marxism and that is what the District of Corruption is and the most virile brand is in the Democrat Party. President Obama and his CDC are under the spotlight and about to show the absolute ignorance and incompetence which represents Marxism. Our only hope now is that we can survive the recklessness and cowboy attitude this President has with his war on America and the latest strain which has potential to kill us all.

Karl Marx was an idealist who believed in communalism. That belief is that people are inherently good and if given a chance would give up their selfish desires and work for the greater societal good. He lived in an agrarian society at the beginning of the industrial revolution and thought that farms could be organized laterally rather than vertically and that everyone would work together and not care about getting ahead, no really. His belief was that everyone could make the same wage and if everyone worked as one communal team the entire team would grow together and succeed as a communal group.

This basic theory sounds really good on paper and in the halls of academia where all of the professors scratch and claw to get their names known, but in real life it falls apart from lack of a motivating factor. The main problem is that people are individuals and not robots who can be expected to work as a machine without expectation of a return. People are emotional beings who need to be recognized and rewarded for their efforts and the Marxist system has no method of doing that. You cannot be recognized or your comrade would have to be equally noticed and then his comrade and so forth. For the Marxist system to work it has to be equally shared and equally ignored to work as Marx professed.

This is where Marxism begins to fall apart in that there can be no leadership structure if there is no reward system. He believed that people would simply make these micro farms work as a natural structure ignoring the fact that the reason farming worked was that it had a capitalistic framework in that the farmer was the owner and boss and would make the farm as efficient as possible to provide for his family. This goes against the Marxist model so after a revolution they would and did take the farms from the farmers and turned it over to the commune and installed the Marxist model which was doomed to failure. Crops rotted in the fields as there was no structure to plant, nurture and harvest as nobody received anything for the work they did and the natural tendency of man took over and in most Marxist utopias like the Soviet Union, Germany and China that natural tendency was survival.

What the Marxists did not understand and still do not is that it is a good system for the 49% who are the least motivated and a bad system for the 49% who are motivated. In reality there will always be achievers who want to rise to the top and non-achievers who do not. The Marxist model does not allow this as everyone receives the same whether they excel or don’t. Anybody with half a brain can understand where this model is going to fail, unfortunately Marxists tend to fall in the lower 49% and did not spot the obvious flaw and still do not. We are now being run by the lower 49%.

Once the gummits saw that there was no natural structure to harvest the crops, they instituted a structure built on political affiliation. Those who were in the Communist Party were the leaders of the farms and industry and those who were not necessarily the achievers and by natural selection they were in the lower of the lower 49% leading to rotting crops and bad engineering. The lower achievers were telling the higher achievers what to do and how to do it leading to lower quality and a failing economy. The Party members were chosen by corruption and cronyism which would put people in charge of the auto industry who had no auto industry experience leading to poor quality and horrible engineering resulting in some of the worst cars in the world with ten year waiting lists if you were a Party member.

This is the problem with Marxism is that it is a top down corrupt system which replaces natural abilities and achievement with centralized top down methodology. Since the basic model is that everyone achieves equally with no specialization or added ambition, leaders are chosen by favoritism and Party loyalty an outside determinate that is filled with alternative opportunity and outside the product goals. This also brings the moral of the entire enterprise down as the workers and managers see no process of advancement outside the political avenues and will ignore the task at hand and relegate themselves to producing the minimum required.

America has been transformed thanks to Obama using this model and is now all that is standing between a potential deadly disease and the American people. We now have our first death and exposure on American soil thanks to some bottom achievers in the White House which is the definition of the bottom half of the bottom half. These are all Party members who have been promoted by loyalty to the Party and hatred of capitalism and America. We now have the head of the Center for Disease Control who is a political hack and has no knowledge whatsoever of diseases or how to control them. He is there to get this disease through the election and do as little damage to the Party as possible. This is to be expected given Marxism and its real goal.

We are about to see once again why Marxism does not work. The model is fatally flawed and has no possibility or motivation to work. Yes, they would like to stop the disease for political reasons, but there are structural flaws as we are witnessing throughout the system to have any chance of actually succeeding. A lateral system with corrupt centralized leaders will never work which is why this is doomed and more Americans will potentially die depending on how communicable Ebola is. We can only pray that the only thing standing between Ebola and a plague is not Marxism.

Pray America wakes up

A couple of interesting threads to mill over before/between shows:

Adios Democrats! Hispanics Bolting Party

Black Vote Seen as Last Hope for Democrats to Hold Senate
Quote: “African-American surge voters came out in force in 2008 and 2012, but they are not well positioned to do so again in 2014,” Cornell Belcher, the pollster, wrote in the memo, dated Oct. 1. “In fact, over half aren’t even sure when the midterm elections are taking place.”

Makes me wonder just how badly the democrats will do... Can we see a Senate with 55 R, 43 D, 2 I?

It's possible!

Thanks for thread A.B. I keep reflecting on Obama’s admonition to Ohio State University graduates on May 5, 2013 that we should not listen to those who say the government is evil and lies to us, thus:

“Unfortunately, you’ve grown up hearing voices that incessantly warn of government as nothing more than some separate, sinister entity that’s at the root of all our problems; some of these same voices also doing their best to gum up the works. They’ll warn that tyranny is always lurking just around the corner. You should reject these voices. Because what they suggest is that our brave and creative and unique experiment in self-rule is somehow just a sham with which we can’t be trusted.”

Lately he is finally being revealed and exposed as the Liar-in-Chief. I just hope the momentum builds on this meme.

I think you're on to something that has changed for Obama and his administration. The vast majority of people do NOT trust him or them.

The few remaining who did have been flying off the radar these past few weeks over ISIS and now Ebola.

Several months ago, Obama “told” a worried country that ISIS was the Junior Varsity team; nothing to worry about. Then suddenly they were on the doorstep of Baghdad and beheading innocent people on live TV. And Obama? He was golfing... Finally did something AFTER the poll numbers showed him rapidly losing support.

Then the past few weeks over Ebola. Starts out by telling folks there's nothing to worry about; there's no risk of Ebola coming to USA. No need to quarantine nor stop flights. A few day later, we have our first case, and quickly several people are infected. In the meantime, he plays golf. Now he sends out several spokespeople to calm us; but, what do they say? Nothing to see here, no problems, all under control, no need to quarantine or stop flights...

I think most smart and normal thinking people have finally figured this group out. Obama is in over his head, for one thing. HE is JV.

I'm seeing more and more editorial cartoons, for example, that never touched his incompetence so to speak, now excoriate him! They have taken to drawing Obama as a goof—even carrying around a golf club, slung over his shoulder while he cluelessly inquires as to what's going on!

Now, the question we'll see answered in two weeks is: What do the Low Information voters think?

Unlike Susan Rice, "Baghdad Tony" still has a reputation for his contributions to AIDS research in the 1980s. It's a question as to what he's done lately, but he probably has more credibility about Ebola than anyone working for Obama. He'll likely say it's no real threat in the United States at this time (but Congress, please send more money -- and if there is anything that Congress is good at, it's spending money) in caged, scientific terms.

As a result of all the Obama lies over the past six years, nobody can believe them even when they are telling the truth.

I'd like to see somebody ask him why CDC still hasn't come up with new personal protective equipment (PPE) guidelines for health workers treating Ebola patients, since Ebola has been around for nearly 40 years, and the current outbreak is approaching its first anniversary. Unlikely anyone will ask him that embarrassing question, but I'd still like to see it asked.

Whatever his past bona fides, it appears like everyone else in this sorry excuse for an Administration, he has turned into a political animal who can do little more than parrot talking points to ask for more money and deflect blame.

Great piece well done,not what you know but who. There is also motivation for the hard left Marxists now in charge to have full blown diseases like EV-D-68 and Ebola. D-68 is the entero virus brought into the country by sick kids from Central America.It was absolutely done on purpose and then evenly spread out into all 57 states.

Add in the 3,000 troops sent to Africa to "help" the infected Africans some of which will certainly contract the disease and the numbers swell even more. Some will be returned to the US with Ebola even though the regime claims the opposite.

An even bigger way of infecting the US is to treat infected Africans here in the U.S. This idea which is being considered right now would multiply the chances of spreading the disease.

Factor in recent evolution of the disease which morphs constantly with scientists currently suggesting it is hotter and spreads faster and you have the potential for huge numbers of infected U.S. citizens.

Make it a big enough problem, scare enough people and you can get to Martial law or a variation thereof. Yet another regime goal.

All in all diseases are now being used as weapons to further transform America by our current Marxist regime.

It would be nice to see the Hispanics morphing over to our side. But after the elections in a few weeks look for zero to amnesty another 20 million. This alone should seal his purchase of the Hispanic vote once and for all. At least until they step in it again and then it remains to see just how much buying power the hard left has. Since all their votes must be purchased with hard cash— usually ours.

I hope you are right!!! Every American citizen/voter, regardless of political stripe, needs to turn out and vote on Tuesday, November 4, 2014 against every single Democrat Party candidate on the ballot throughout the entire USA, and effectively, destroy the entire “Obamabot” Democrat Party, politcally, & make POTUS Obama and instant “Lame Duck” POTUS!!!

Many Freepers, & I suspect some of them are outright trolls say they will stay home and not vote, or vote for the Democrat candidate!!! IMHO......that is a both a wrong and bad move!!! The country is at stake........this election will turn out to be that one that saved or doomed America!!! Obama is not one us (an American), never was and,,,,never will be!!!

Good post and yes it seems the love affair with the dear leader is finally coming to a slow but steady end as he reflects poorly on the dem party with candidates the first to desert his skinny golf/fund-raising ass.
