Obama's "ogenda" still intact

Well, listened to the Comrade's speech, Paul Ryan's speech, and Michelle Bachman is on right now.

Listened to the commentary about the Comrade on Fox, and surprised no one seemed to quite get what the Comrade was saying.

He's going to continue to spend money. If congress won't give him any money -- and he himself promises to "freeze" spending -- he's just going to rearrange the government and apparently reallocate whatever he does get to spend to continue to "invest" in his pet projects to promote his unchanging ogenda.

I mean, this is what "redistribution" really means, isn't it?

The Comrade talked a lot about indoctrination. I mean education for America's youth. I'm sure he's interested in that. The only people who'll vote for him will be the 19-year-olds who still believe in the Tooth Fairy -- the same people who voted for him in 2008. Only those 2008 voters now, after two years of being without a job, may not appreciate him quite so much anymore. So raise a new crop, huh?

Then he talked about a company owned by the Allen brothers. They took some old factory, and with a government loan, began producing some kind of "green" shingles. Nice. They created themselves a job. Find it interesting that only a paragraph or so later, the Comrade did note that the only thing green technology needs anymore is a market.

Make it and they will buy? We'll see. But it seems Spain -- the government of -- invested very heavily in green technology and Europe even had cap-n-trade. And Spain is going broke. I mean, exactly where is that elusive market?

You can tell the Comrade has been talking to Jeffrey Immelt, whose company is heavily invested in technology that should be obsolete before it's installed -- that is "green" stuff -- so the Comrade owes him one. Crony capitalism? You decide.

High-speed rail all across the country as a brand new idea. No offense. but the Transcontinental Railroad was complete in 1869 and not a lot of people use it anymore. They'd rather drive cars or fly. Cars get you from doorstep to doorstep with as many stops (for as long as you want) in between. And planes get you there within hours. Trains take forever -- even high-speed across the face of the North American continent -- and neither do they offer the convenience of landing you exactly where you want to go. You still have to hassle with cabs, tickets -- all that crap. Just like flying, only much slower.

And I've asked before: What is the fixation politicians have with high-speed rail? I have never, ever, ever in my life heard any person say, "Gee, I wish we had a monorail or something like that." Only politicians like this idea. And why? Well, the Comrade says the USA is one of few countries without high-speed rail.

Is this an argument in favor? That is, if your friends all went and jumped in the lake, does that mean you have to, too?

I mean, the largest nation in Europe is maybe the size of Pennsylvania. Entirely different geographical considerations. And Europeans, as their incomes increase, if and when they do, abandon the high-speed rail for the private auto.

Maybe some pol during his college years had a real blast Hamburg to Paris on high-speed rail. So I suppose next we'll all have to give up hotels and stay at youth hostels, too.

And I'm sorry, but did no one catch the backhand at John Boehner. The Comrade plays up Boehner's rise to Speaker, then deftly notes, "He's sitting behind me here." Yeah, the Comrade said that everyone who didn't agree with his socialist agenda can just behind him.. "back-of-the-bus," wasn't it? I'm sorry, but I don't think that was accidental. The Comrade loves to insult. He just can't resist trying to belittle people whenever he can. He has a kind of profound meanness and bitterness about him disguised by the practiced smile.

But the big threat was the Comrade's promise to redesign the Executive Branch. No doubt it will come out as streamlined and efficient as the Poltiburo, and the only outlets for allocated funds will be the SEIU, GE and other kiss-ass dinosaur corporations that play socialist soccer, and whatever else crap will promote the ideal of rebuilding the USA on the model of Red China.

Hey... the federal government has published a book about remaking America into Red China. I am not making this up.

Paul Ryan just reaffirmed his commitment to the Constitution and American exceptionalism. Good enough for me. I preferred that.

Enough for now.

Save the Republic.
