...the march of freedom and democracy which will leave Marxism-Leninism on the ash-heap of history as it has left other tyrannies which stifle the freedom and muzzle the self-expression of the people.
If we had time, we'd pull the Clint Eastwood audio and overlay these images in a video.
Same message. Same intent.
PS: The Soviet Union collapsed 20 years ago, yet museum walls go un-painted. How long will the negative effects of Obama's policies impact our lives?
Do you think that it is just a crazy coincidence that the same people who want to force you to pay for contraception and abortion are the same people who murdered over 100 million people, NOT counting abortions, in the 20th century alone? When are you going to understand that Marxism is satanic and from hell itself, and that contraception is one of the cornerstones of Marxism and totalitarian oligarchy?
She posts these two videos of Glenn Beck discussing this issue.
You don't need to be catholic to understand the threat. (We aren't Catholic).
Remember, the one common trait of the Nazis and Soviet Communists was Moral Nihilism: The rejection of religious and traditional family values. It is the goal of evil to be replace God and parents with government.
Moral Nihilism is here.
It is the threat.
Do you see it?
NiceDeb has plenty of other information at that post too, including the letter from Bishop Marquette of Michigan.
Drudge just linked to CNS News: a battle line has formed with our military clergy. Obey the Obama Administration and stay mum on this issue, or speak out for Catholics and their values?
Read it so you'll understand why we are converting this post to a Tribute Post in Archbishop Timothy Broglio's honor.
Our Quote of the Day comes from a list of top ten Reagan quotes at Weasel Zippers:
#6:
How do you tell a communist? Well, it’s someone who reads Marx and Lenin.
And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It’s someone who understands Marx and Lenin.
Things we have in common with Ronald Reagan:
- Was an Army Reserve Captain
- Served in California
- Loved the United States of America
- Hated Communism
He also defeated communists in Hollywood and abroad.
That was the title of Chrysler's Super Bowl commercial last night staring Clint Eastwood.
He's getting old, and his judgement is not what it used to be.
He tried to frame the Chrysler bailout as a positive event, bless his heart. He probably doesn't remember that American citizens were forced into a criminal conspiracy.
1) Theft. We were forced, at gunpoint, to invest our money into a company that all sane investors had long ago rejected.
2) Corruption. Our money did not go into a company, it went into a union pension fund. A pension fund that is gearing-up for an expensive election year.
3) Theft. Non-Union owners of the Chrysler bonds were forced to take $0.10 on the dollar, while Union owners of the same bonds received full payment. In other words, the Unions were given majority ownership of Chrysler and GM.
4) Waste. The company's products still suck when compared to competitors - namely Ford. Another bailed-out company, GM, sells cars that self-immulate.
Did you see a Super Bowl commercial for the Volt? If not, why not? What about a commercial for Solyndra? Are we no longer green? Are we just green when if favors political expediency?
Chrysler's Halftime in America commercial is just an updated Jimmy Carter malaise commercial.
Elect Democrats, and you are guaranteed sad speeches and sad commercials.
Our advice for car companies:
1) Design and build cool cars that people covet,
2) Create commercials that show off your cool cars.
Acura did just that:
So did Audi:
Chrysler and their government owners want you to think the decline they've created is everywhere. That it is owned by all of us. That we as a nation, under liberal guidance, can pull out of this funk. Wrong on all counts.
Chrysler's depressing commercial shows the current state of Chrysler - a company that took it's eye off of the ball years ago. A company that, like public education, prioritized unions over consumers and sealed their fate of despair and decline.
Our advice: Ignore the gloomy. Embrace the shiny. Evict the liberals.
UPDATED 2.7
Rush Limbaugh offers his version of the Halftime Ad:
The Teachers' Unions will tell you that vouchers are too radical of a concept for reforming education.
They will tell you that just a little more money is all that is needed to restore American education to its historic highs.
They will say "no" to testing and merit-based compensation, and to insurance co-pay. "Yes" to more time off for teachers, and less work (aka smaller class sizes).
The American public school system has been destroyed by the unions as has several generations of American youth. Yet we're told it is salvageable as-is.
Maybe this video can help us pro-voucher parents make our case. It is long overdue to introduce market-based principles to those who wish to educate our children.
We've been detached from the GOP primary fight for several reasons: 1) we cancelled our cable TV a while back, 2) our vote on Super Tuesday (March 6th) will have little impact on the nominee who will likely be chosen prior to that day, and 3) we side with the Tea Party in values, principles and priorities.
So to address #1 above, we appreciate the hard work of our fellow bloggers like NiceDeb to parse out the highlights of the campaign. Here is one of three Santorum clips she has posted from last night's debate:
As for #'s 2 & 3 above, if Santorum makes it to Super Tuesday he will get our vote. Not because of what he has said or his popularity or his policy positions, and not because of the endless and pathetic MSM attacks on Gingrich or Romney, but because he is the best candidate in Tea Party terms.
Our thanks to Sen. Santorum for making our life easy. We don't have to think at all, just go vote. Good luck sir, and GodSpeed.
And at this point in the game, Rick Santorum represents the most conservative candidate still standing who can articulate both fiscal and social conservative values — and live them.
UPDATE 2.3 and BUMPED
NiceDeb posted this 1999 Santorum rant on Senate floor.
Karl Deninger at Market-Ticker has a long post a a response to Congressman Paul Ryan's recent comments about the financial state of the United States.
This other Karl posts this chart of debt vs. GDP. It appears our Commie in Chief was slightly incorrect about government spending's impact on the economy. Instead of a positive influence, increasing debt appears to damage an economy. Huh.
In other words, don't try this at home.
Karl has some other charts in that post in response to the Fed's stupid 2% inflation concept. Ready for $8 gas?
But there are still about 40% of Americans who support this President and his policies. They are the ones who will tell us there are positives too.
Here's one: look at how our president has influenced the purchase of Silver American Eagle 1oz coins. Source: Seeking Alpha.
We wonder what a chart of gun sales would look like.
Yes, our Dear Leader has positively influenced several areas of the economy. No argument from us.
About a month or so ago at a grocery store near Indianapolis, a robbery took place.
A bad guy shoved an object (never been identified) in the back of a store employee and led that employee to the manager's office.
Another Kroger employee saw this.... and was armed. The Kroger employee shot the bad guy dead.
I've followed this story via RobertaX, who lives in Indianapolis. Here is her first post, and a later post.
Weer'd reports today that the employee has volunteered to quit. It appears Kroger policy requires their employees to behave like Sheeple (see above) when their life is threatened. A policy this employee ignored.
Apparently, that corporation has weighed the impact of dead employees vs. higher insurance premiums and come out in favor of their insurance carrier.
