Communism, Not Socialism. Calling It Like It Is

At least one right wing commentator believes that the current administration is intent on bringing communism to the United States. Is it any wonder that many Americans are protesting the government through Tea Parties and town hall events?  Alan Caruba, writer for Renew America believes many Americans feel as though they are living in a dictatorship given the lack of cooperation from the Congress listening to the will of the people. More specifically we now have a Marxist President in the White House as described by Aruba in Renew America:

The celebration of the fall of the Berlin Wall earlier this year was attended by many world leaders, with the notable exception of President Barack Obama. For a man who has visited more foreign nations in his first year in office than any previous President, the decision to avoid this significant anniversary was taken as one more signal of his true political and economic agenda.

We know that he has been greatly influenced by Marxists or people who viewed Communism sympathetically, not the least of which were his grandparents, who introduced him to a mentor, Frank Marshall Davis, a member of the Communist Party USA.

Obama wrote that he was drawn to Marxists among his teachers in college. He began his political career in the home of former Weatherman Bill Ayers. These days, he is praised by Communists in Cuba and Venezuela. He sided with a Leftist former president of Honduras who tried to illegally alter its constitution. The Hondurans had the courage to cast him out.

Not very comforting for those of us who believe in freedom, liberty and free markets. Caruba details what this means for healthcare reform:

The specter of Communist subversion of the U.S. Constitution is staring us in the eye with the so-called healthcare “reform” of Medicare; it includes all manner of provisions that are unconstitutional and would expand federal government control over one-sixth of the nation’s economy. The bribery and thuggish pressures and threats against Democrat senators and representatives to pass the bill reveal a political leadership more devoted to ideology than the will of the People.

Specifically, President Obama’s drive for a single-payer system is the direct result of the influence of Dr. Quentin Young, a retired physician with a long history of commitment to Communism. In 1995, Dr. Young was among those who met in the Hyde Park home of Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn to launch Obama’s political career.

He continues:

The healthcare “reform” expands “socialism” in America, but it is an example of naked Communism at work. It is a bill put together behind closed doors and is so extensive its control of the lives of Americans literally determines who lives and who dies. It will wreck the best healthcare system in the world, albeit one that has its flaws.

It is authoritarianism at work, the kind we associate with regimes in Russia, China, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, and everywhere else Communism has been imposed on captive nations.

Healthcare “reform” is not about uninsured Americans — nor is it mere “socialism.” It is Communism, effectively putting the entire nation’s healthcare system under state control. It must be defeated just as past generations of Americans knew the threat of Communism and devoted the nation’s treasure and even their lives to defeat it.

Of course the climate change conference was also very telling:

The recent Climate Change Conference of the UN refused to take notice of the revelations that the data on which the “global warming” theory is based was falsified by a handful of meteorologists and climatologists in an effort to impose a global governing system. The UN’s interim first Secretary General was Alger Hiss, an American and secret Soviet agent.

It did not escape notice that Venezuela’s communist dictator, Hugo Chavez, received a rousing ovation when he spoke at the Climate Change Conference, or that President Obama continues to repeat the lies surrounding the discredited “global warming” fraud.

Virtually the entire agenda of American environmental organizations has been focused on an attack on private property rights and denying Americans access to their vast reserves of energy in the form of coal, oil, and natural gas, thus undermining U.S. growth and prosperity.
