Tom Delay

Delay’s mind is impaired by the bug spray. Too many chemicals in his brain like his buddy Rush.

Totalitarism via Taxation and Debt

Marxist/Fascists/Stalinist they are already in office! Obama's supporters have posters of their Fascist hero's on the wall of their offices! Taxation is the weapon of the Marxist. Their tool is continued uncontrolled spending by the House and Senate; with Obama's proposed higher taxes and the mounting debt held by China, the fact that 70% of actual currency is held outside the country, a continuing clampdown by Liberals on drilling for oil, Environmentalists stopping creation of new nuclear power plants, we pay our enemy's for energy, the treasonous left wing Democratic Party chanting defeat in Iraq, destruction of the moral character of the Commander and Chief by leftist media, Maxine Waters Calling for a Socialist Government takeover of the Oil Companies, complete disregard for Capitalism the only source of revenue available to be taxed, with a new Global warming tax when Obama or McCain gets in office of what did Drudge say $30 trillion. Brother judgment day is here! Hold on to your hats, get rid of your debts, Government is here to take care of you, what a shame Elected Republicans are in the corner playing the fiddle while the US Burns from the fires set by the Dems. We had a good run at it, the totalitarian government is here, and with a willing White House split Republican party, what is to stop the Greatest Marxist agenda this Nation has ever seen from getting a rubber stamp by Obama? You can't even run for office unless you can show either party $500,000 cash in your bank account to play the game, the proletariat get to watch and pay. As our forefathers said, "Give me Liberty or Give Death," anybody with me!

A Marxist by Another Name: OBAMA

Obama is a modern-day Marxist.

Castro and Obama share many of the same values and principles for the country's economy:

1. Redistribute the country's wealth - Marxism 101

2. Grow the size of the government - Create new departments dedicated to supporting Item 1

3. Blame greedy American corporations for the pains of the US and the rest of the world

4 Increase taxes on those already paying the largest percentage and total amount. The top 1% already pay 39% of all taxes.

5 Nationalize healthcare

6 Campaign on a principle based on appealing to the lower income 50% of the US to despise the rich and convince 45% of the other half that their life is miserable so that once convinced of their doom and gloom, they will support the doomsayer and will want bigger government

7. Convince the public, that America is perceived as evil, thus, hated by the rest of the world.

8. Abandon America's principle of helping the world rid itself of dictatorships, thus, put our weapons down, throw our arms up, and retreat in shame from Iraq.

9. Support dictatorships throughout the world and elevate them to be recognized by the US as worthy leaders that need to be heard without preconditions - legitimize them

10. Grow the support base by expanding the lowest income class in the country by increasing and broadening entitlements; however, add to that the importation of poverty into the United States by giving Amnesty to well over 20 million illegal aliens in the country. Furthermore, promote this policy in order to attract even more illegal immigration prior to the granting of the amnesty in order to achieve the highest number of "new, uneducated, government-dependent poor class", I call the "new poor".

11. Dictate to Americans that they should be ashamed for using 25% of the world's energy while only having 3% of the population and that A/C thermostats in should be set at higher than 72 degrees.

12. Give up America's sovereignty for the "good of the world" and to save the planet from "global warming" by supporting new treaties on international boundaries, not drilling in ANWR or offshore, but standing by while Castro plans to drill off the Florida coast.

13. Campaigning on a message of "change", because it sounds good.

The list can go on and on, as Castro and Obama share many principles for the formula for a failed state, but one in which the party of the "new poor" remains in power through the growth of government. As this party provides more and more entitlements for its citizens and big government prevails, the country becomes less and less productive. Eventually, America's economy is no better off than Cuba's. Therefore, Fidel, go ahead and send Obama that box of Cohibas, for he is a Marxist just like you.
