There's a certain irony in the state media for the former Soviet Union reporting the end of American capitalism. And for once, I don't think that even I can disagree with it.
Elections have consequences. This one handed our great free-market system to the last people the Obama voters probably thought they were giving it to. Now the evidence is overwhelming of government efforts to take over every aspect of our economy and build a nation controlled by one centralized government. So where are the cries from the Obamanation to stop it? Where is the American strength to topple tyrants and win world wars?
I know it's not the New York Times or MSNBC, so some may not find it credible. In fact, it is so contrary to the daily pablum being fed us by the liberal media, many will certainly dismiss it out of hand. But I can't help thinking that we're being laughed at around the world for so blindly and ignorantly giving away everything that made this nation great.
Read these words from, of all places, Pravda:
"It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American decent into Marxism is happening with breath taking speed, against the back drop of a passive, hapless sheeple, excuse me dear reader, I meant people."
http://english.pravda.ru/opinion/columnists/107459-0/But here is the truly frightening reality. We have to read in Pravda the truths that our own Katie Couric, Chris Mathews, Keith Olbermann, Anderson Cooper, Brian Williams, George Stephanopoulus and the bulk of the mainstream media won't report or condemn. And for many of the sheeple who've been taught to follow the bias of our liberal media, they still don't seem to have a clue what is happening right under their noses.
"The final collapse has come with the election of Barack Obama. His speed in the past three months has been truly impressive. His spending and money printing has been a record setting, not just in America's short history but in the world. If this keeps up for more then another year, and there is no sign that it will not, America at best will resemble the Wiemar Republic and at worst Zimbabwe."
And here is one more editorial. Not from the LA Times, CNN, or the Washington Post, but from Investors Business Daily - another source from outside the liberal media machine. I will tell you that as unbelievable the estimates in this column of our unfunded obligations might seem, they are themselves based on the rosiest of assumptions and forecasts. I have reviewed the numbers myself from the Social Security Trust Fund report available on-line from the government A more realistic estimate of revenues and cost increases of entitlement programs places these obligations at somewhere between 7 and 16 times the dire picture described. If you're not familiar with the term "quadrillion", you heard it here first.
