Hope and Change and Brother, Can You Spare a Trillion?

The answer from Congress is a resounding “Yessiree-bob, you betcha!”   

Big X here, broadcasting live from my regular booth at the swanky Peacock Lounge, high atop the mighty Breitbart Tower on Sunset and Cherokee in the bleeding heart of Tinseltown, U.S.A.!   

Pack up all your tears and woes, listeners.  Hard Times are over!  Our new President, Barack Obama, has leapt from his corner fighting in peak form, delivering a devastating first-round K.O. to the impending economic meltdown with the passage of his Stimulus Package!  Yes, folks, I hear the greenbacks are flying off the presses so fast that workers at the U.S. Mint are crying out to Congress, “Slow down, boys!  You’re spending it faster than we can print it!”   (more…)

OPM – The Socialist Drug of Choice

When it comes to the wit and wisdom of Karl Marx, it’s likely that his most quoted statement is, “Religion is the opiate of the masses.” The perverse irony in that quote is that all of Marx’s pseudo-scientific philosophical and sociological musings are so antithetical to common sense and basic human nature, that in order to believe them one must take a leap of faith far greater than any required for belief in a religious dogma. Certainly, George Orwell had Marx in mind when he famously quipped, “There are some ideas so preposterous that only an intellectual could believe them.”

 Marx wasn’t stupid, though, and surely recognized that in order to get his magical notions widely embraced, people would have to give up their traditional ideas of religiosity, since it is difficult if not impossible to maintain a belief in two, utterly conflicting religious faiths at the same time. Tragically, the true believers who swallowed the toxic claptrap Marx advanced have brought far more misery and brutality into the world than all the fundamentalist religious faiths of history combined. Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pot (to name a few of the most egregious examples), all held at their sociopolitical core the same pseudo-religious tenets that Marx proposed, and the staggering amount of death and torture those monsters precipitate dwarf, by several orders of magnitude, the suffering resultant from any religious beliefs. ( I know, some who are ignorant of history will object and say that Nazism and Fascism were Right-Wing movements. To them, I suggest they read Jonah Goldberg’s seminal book “Liberal Fascism” to learn the truth. The word Nazi was an acronym stemming from the German name for the National Socialist Party!) (more…)
