Oh, stop.
As long as I'm in 'brief fucking comment' mode today:
All the brand-R fuckheads, even the allegedly independent and non-partyhack Doyle and Savage, constantly refer to Obama as 'redistributionist'. They use the term several fucking times per minute.
Especially annoying from Doyle, because when he's not reciting the mantra he's giving the straight truth about where the money really goes! Either he's required to recite the mantra with a certain frequency, or his mind is overly compartmentalized.
Listen. If Obama had done any redistribution at all, the rich wouldn't be getting richer and the poor wouldn't be getting poorer. Some degree of balance would start to show up.
Obama continues to massively redistribute UPWARD, just like Bush 1 and Bush 2. No difference.
Steal jobs and money from Americans. Donate the jobs to China and the money to Goldman Sachs.
A second mantra that everyone shares, including the alleged independents: "Obama is an Alinsky follower. He wants to transform this country into something you won't recognize, wants to collapse The Free Market entirely, wants to establish a Soviet system here." This has some historical truth; Obama did train in the Alinsky mode. But again it doesn't distinguish Obama from Bush The Father and Bush The Son. All of them are transformers, and their desired transformation is NOT the Marxian utopia implied by the mantra. Their explicit destination is 1890 America, a country with a handful of super-rich robber barons and a rabble of lower-class desperate borrowers who will do anything to keep a few vestigial middle-class trappings. Their marching song is not The Internationale, it's Sixteen Tons.
