The Russians used to cluck that America would hang itself because of the “useful idiots” that ran the country. Fortunately the American people got mad and helped President Ronald Reagan destroy the Russians and their unworkable “level playing field” – their social and economic political system known as communism.
America may have defeated communism but the belief in the “level playing field” has emerged again as the political tool of a new breed of “useful idiots.” Using cries for “social justice,” “environmentalism,” “income disparity,” “tax the rich” and literally reversing the meaning of words like “privatization” and “investment” the new breed of useful idiots have visited upon the American people the following:
- Bailouts that only cover the banking industry’s mortgage losses.
- Stimulus that doesn’t stimulate the economy
- Uses taxpayer money to nationalize banks, auto companies
- Promotes socialize medicine – taking over 17 percent of the economy
- Blocks oil drilling and refinery construction
- Blocks the construction of nuclear plants
- Shuts down major agricultural regions
- Diverts one-third of corn crop causing food prices to soar
- Calls American patriots obstructionists and Nazis
- Triples national debt in just nine months in 2009
- Ignores $60 trillion of unfunded entitlement debt
- Promotes blackmail and featherbedding by unions
- Refuses public debate on global warming
- Supports the suppression of conservative thought on campus
- Undermines the military leaders, capabilities and objectives
- Abrogates our sovereignty for a world government
- Tragically reduces the value of the dollar causing inflation
- Over-regulates the private sector
- Bankrupts future generations with unsustainable debt
- Believes that government can create private sector jobs
- Drains the pool of investment capital by taxation and regulation
- Creates support groups that act like Hitler’s Brown Shirts
- Blames American wealth for all the sins in the world
- Public paychecks $30,000 more than the private sector pays
- Advocates communism’s wealth redistribution policies
- Promotes Islam as if it is not a military and political powder keg
- Promotes Islam as a religion of peace in spite of Muslim terror
- Promotes media blackout of conservative ideas
- Denies American “exceptionalism”
- Supports Kyoto Treaty that endorses massive Asian air pollution
- Supports “social justice” indoctrination in schools
- Ignores the featherbedding in education and government
- Criminally ignores the limitations imposed by the Constitution
- Blindly drowns taxpayer in pension costs at every governmental level
- Promises the youth prosperity while creating more poverty
- Lies about the state of the economy
- Ignores managing the economy to campaign for unworkable myths
- Denigrates capitalism and the profit motive
- Supports diversification at the expense of cultural uniformity
- Demeans Christians and Jews and God
- Promotes all secular positions while demonizing Christians
- Promotes taxation and redistribution over investment philosophy
- Cap and Trade proposals that adds billions to our tax load
- Promotes Card Check that adds billions in added costs to business
That covers about 10 percent of the dysfunctional policies of those who elevate the state above the individual in their drive to make the citizen a dependent of big government. I think Americans have had just about enough of these new “useful idiots.” Hopefully they can be put down quickly so that the country established by our Founders can be restored.
