In a scathing article, Pravda (yes that Pravda: mouthpiece of the former USSR) has declared that Barack Obama is a Marxist and that his election marks the end of capitalism.

It’s truly weird, reading  of the collapse of the United States and being unable to disagree.  Stranger still is the fact that such an editorial would come from the pages of Pravda, which for years stood as the antithesis to truth: a rag of lies and propaganda perpetrated by an iron-fisted ruling class.  Sadly, though, this time they’ve gotten it mostly right.

Their claim that the American people are a bunch of pop-culture addled sheep who have thrown away their rights might sting, but it’s hard to refute.  They attack our dumbed down public schools as the first step in creating an idiot populace that has rejected its values and turns a blind eye to the out-of-control antics of its elected officials. 

While their attack on Barney Frank as a “social pervert basking in his homosexuality” may cross a line, at least they’ve got him pegged politically, calling him out as a Marxist thug, desperately trying to set salary controls for all Americans.

Pravda sums up our situation in just a few sentences:

“Prime Minister Putin, less then two months ago, warned Obama and UK’s Blair, not to follow the path to Marxism, it only leads to disaster.  Apparently, even though we suffered 70 years of this Western sponsored horror show, we know nothing, as foolish, drunken Russians, so let our “wise” Anglo-Saxon fools find out the folly of their own pride. ”

“The proud American will go down into his slavery with out a fight, beating his chest and proclaiming to the world, how free he really is. The world will only snicker. ”

Hopefully they underestimate this country’s ability to repair itself, but time will tell….

That’s right, the federal deficit is now almost $64 Trillion Dollars.  $63.8, to be exact.  That’s up almost 15% percent this year.

Think about what you owe on your car loan, your credit cards, even your mortgage.  Now add $55,000.00 to that number, because Uncle Sam, and president Obama owe fifty-five grand per US household.  Once you wrap your mind around that, realize that Barack wants to throw another couple TRILLION in health care costs on top of it!

The best part of all this is the fact that people like Obama, Reid, and Pelosi actually intend to send you that $55,000.00 bill.  All three of them have stated that in order to pay for the debt, not to mention all their new programs, we need “comprehensive tax reform.”  Believe me, when Dems say reform, it’s always a synonym for “Increase.” 

It’s perfect timing too.  This month, under Obama’s steady hand, the US dollar’s value  posted its biggest monthly drop since 1985, while China continues to position the Yuan as the world’s currency of choice.   The United States’ overall economy has fallen 6% since the president took office and economist Nouriel Roubini, one of only a handful to correctly predict the current economic crisis, has projected a similar drop for next year.

The good news?  Well, Obama got a great deal in his hostile takeover of General Motors - a company that will be filing for bankruptcy on Monday.  The government now OWNS 72% of the automaker, and the president has become quite enamoured with the vehicle below.  It’s going to be all the rage once he forces us all to buy one.  Apparently, when the joint project between GM and Segway begins churning these out, everything will start getting better.

Can’t Wait.
