Germany Had Its Hitler; Cuba Had/Has Its Castro; Venezuela Has Its Chavez; America Has Its.... Obama.

To hear Obama extolling the virtue of a socialist/communist-inspired program like the "civilian national security force" he is proposing, is to be visited by the ghosts of dictatorships past and present.  

Samuel Blumenfeld had a provocative article today in WorldNetDaily, "Obama's Commie Connections."  In it, he mentions, among other things, this civilian security force, saying it sounds eerily like a similar 'grassroots' organization that was formed in the 1930s by another ambitious, charismatic young rebel with an unhappy, shadowy past and a bright but brief future in politics.  "Homeland State Police" is the English equivalent.  In German it was Geheime Staats Polizie.  Gestapo for short.

Lest we forget, "Nazi" was short for national socialist.  That's socialist.  As in leftist.  As in cradle-to-grave government welfare nanny-state, state-monopoly institutions, state-controlled industry, banking, finance, commerce. education (even religion!).  State-dominated, state-sponsored, state-mandated, state-prohibited.  Taxation by confiscation.  State-enforced redistribution of wealth, etc., etc., ad nauseum.

I won't regurgitate Blumenfeld's piece here.  I only mention it on the eve of the national elections tomorrow--when millions of voters, most of whom are validly registered, many of whom are not, will go to the polls and move the tide of history once again through another ebb-and-flow cycle demonstrating man's inability to govern himself without strong restraints placed on him from above--I only mention it as another insight, another hint, another piece of the puzzle, another "tease" showing us just what kind of radically anti-American, hate-filled, cynical, bitter, truly machiavellian prince this Barack Obama really is (and will turn out to be).

  

Just as Hitler mesmerized the German people (but not all of them), Castro bewitched the Cubans (but not all of them) and Chavez bamboozled the Venezuelans (but not all of them), Obama has utterly enchanted and enthralled millions of Americans who are feathers in the wind with no ideological/historical/cultural anchor to hold them and no moral/spiritual compass to guide them.  They'll listen to any smooth-talking, educated-sounding, rhetoric-dispensing demagogue that promises them all the bread and circuses and unbridled self-indulgence they could want.  

Tomorrow we vote.  Let's see if America still looks like America on Wednesday.
