Obama-Pelosi-Reid Undressed

It seems to me that the whole Obama-Pelosi-Reid attempt to implement their radical Left agenda is very simple to understand as the latest incarnation of the essential political dichotomy---

The group verses the individual.

Of course, they are the ultimate GROUPIES!

And, the existentially felt understanding, at a visceral level, by those awake individuals in America must morph from a privately held mere FEELING into action, and that’s what’s going on in the angry push back against the big “little” three groupies.

I’m currently absorbing a fantastic Robert Kagan book, “Dangerous Nation”, which of course refers to the good old USA.

So, I’ve been reminded of the truth of another way of nailing the group-individual split:

Are we, THE PEOPLE of America, a free set of individuals who have a government, or are we the enslaved group of asleep individuals that a government has?

Obviously, Obama et al are the tip of the spear that is prodding us all into the group “camp”, really their plantation, and ultimately, in their wildest inner secret dreams, something resembling what is sadly rising up in so many benighted places, such as Venezuela, Russia, and what is trying to continue in China.

Ah, how dumb so many Americans are!

At last, and eternally the NOW test, we have to take into vital account the core book and insight by von Mises---“The Road to Serfdom”.

Yes, the vast left wing conspiracy, in broad daylight, is ABSOLUTELY the latest attempt to force SOCIALISM on us all---so we’ll be happy to settle for our materially fulfilling lives, seemingly, and let our masters rule without any trouble from us.

We’ll see if, on the ever cutting edge margin, the race between the ones who’ve risen into positions of power (by ruse and bribery, IMHO) will be able to pull off their socialistic coup.

Me, I’m not too optimistic, since so many Americans are either dumbed down, dumb per se, and/or totally uninformed, misinformed and/or so wrapped up in their own shrunken lives that they won’t even notice being moved from the free to the slave class.

Indeed, we might justly end this screed by noting that this has ALREADY, irrevocably, happened to a near majority of Americans.

So many “happy” slaves in the Left wing socialism camp, on its plantation, NOW!
