Hillary as Communist
By Ted Baiamonte Comments: bje1000@aol.com (12/08/07)
Sadly, it is considered impolite and even ignorant to call Hillary and the Democrats, communists, but, sadly, if not tragically, it makes good sense. You might say too, if you like to split hairs a little, that she is a socialist since she is openly supporting what is commonly referred to as socialized medicine. Neither she nor the MSN (main stream media) will dispute the label, or explain why, if the arguments apply to medicine, they don't apply equally to socializing the entire economy. In fact, it's not mentioned at all for one simple reason: the Democrats and the MSM have done an excellent job of undermining the basic American value of freedom, from gov't.
Also, then, what can't be mentioned is that Marx conceived of socialism as a prelude to communism. Marx did not conceive of socialism in isolation, but rather as a state evolving or maturing into Communism, and Hillary can not conceive of one tax and spend gov't program not growing into the next one with no end or goal in sight, short of Marxism, though it has to be unstated in America, the land of the free. Even if Hillary were not technically an ideological communist, her political party and the electoral demands derived thereof would inevitably draw her in that direction. It seems failed tax and spend programs, in the Democratic nether world anyway, apparently create the need for more, rather than less, tax and spend programs with no end ever in sight. This has gone on through 200 years of winning elections and dreaming up a constant stream of new programs, and presumably will go on until a Democratic gov't controls absolutely everything, which would be, coincidentally, a lot like, surprise, communism.
Western Civilization, from ancient Greek democracy on, was about the growth of freedom or liberty from gov't. American Republicans represented the culmination of that process which began in ancient Greece, inched forward to the divine right of kings as redefined in the Magna Carta Libertatum, and was culminated by the Jeffersonian Republicans in the second American revolution of 1800. From 1800, all the way forward to the Great Depression the trend continued toward freedom continued, at which point FDR, who ran as a conservative, adopted Marxists solutions out of desperation and ignorance that, to be fair, was shared by some Republicans of that era.
FDR's friends went to Stalinist Russia and came back to pronounce: "I have seen the future and it works" and they have gone down in Democratic history as heroes despite extending Great Depression for 10 years (leading to world war) with insane communist-like programs. FDR called Stalin(communist killer of 40 million ) Uncle Joe, and said ,"I wish I had his powers". Democrats spied for Communists; some gave nuclear secrets to them, and were condignly hung. Communists in America voted for Democrats when there were no explicit communists to vote for. The KGB recruited among the liberals in Washington when it wanted spies. A look at the Socialist party Platform of the 1920's tells you that they have long since gotten everything they dreamed of then. And still, we now have Hillary who still openly loves gov't, and still wants far more tax and spend gov't than the socialists of the 1920's? She hides it all, in the land of the free, by calling herself a progressive (code word for communist last used in Presidential politics by Henry Wallace, a secret communist ). Despite being American, she seemingly could care less about freedom from Kings, Queens, Communists, or progressive gov't in general.
Hillary seemingly is as devoted to herself and as megalomaniacal as the Kings, Queens, and Communists, before her. The latest biography shows Sister Frigidaire (her nick name in High School) helping husband Bill, the day after his confession, write a speech to explain his life long adultery to the American people. The continuous affairs didn't matter much to Hillary it seemed. Her first icy response, according to the latest biographies, reportedly was, "how are you going to explain this to them" as if to say, "what is all important here is that you explain away our family values to the stupid American people so I can impart our communist "values" to them when I'm their President.
Hillary went to college as a Goldwater Republican in the 60's. As if to show her great scholarly and independent mind, she came out as a standard hippie flower child. There was no intellectual record or rationale, rather it seemed she had a very high IQ, a youthful sense that change was wonderful, (sort of the sentiments echoed in the Monkey's theme song of that era: "hey hey hey we're the Monkey's; we're the new generation and we've got something to say") and a megalomaniacal sense that she ought to be the one leading the latest political parade going by. By law school her horn rimmed glasses, hippie reputation had been locked in by a college commencement speech during which she said nothing more daring and intellectual than that Edward Brooke (a black Republican Senator) was not black enough for the changing times, and that the war against communism was wrong. Her exuberant coming of age metamorphosis precluded the suspicion that the Civil Rights/Welfare culture then would lead to today's liberal hip hop culture, or that state sponsored communism had produced far more genocide and poverty than justice and prosperity.
She followed up her trendy college metamorphosis in law school by editing the Yale Review of Law which was very supportive of the communist Black Panthers. She worked with the ACLU and, despite her denials, spent a summer getting close to the people while working for a communist law firm. The owner of that firms, Robert Treuhaft, has said about it, "anyone who went to college or law school would have known that our law firm was a communist law firm".
And now it seems little has changed. Not wizened the tiniest little bit by age or experience, she has, nevertheless, pulled off the ultimate sneak attack on America. She is the odds on favorite to become the next President; a President who will start by socializing 14% of the entire American economy, at which point no Republican paregoric may be retroactively effective. The only real question is, how far will she push America away from being America?
