Or will that be 2014 and 2016?

My guess is the re-shuffle of the deck, that we’re long overdue for, is finally getting underway. Interesting times.

name game, akin to going from “global warming” to “climate change”. They will have a new plan, put a spin on it and continue to push for the expansion of government and the redistribution of wealth. It’s about ideology, which will remain the same for a certain portion of their voting populace.

Public sector unions who have become part of the coalition and feed at the public trough. Obama calls this the middle class–and he protects them even as he disenfranchises the middle class as a whole. I sent copy to BB and hope Labor Union report sees it as well This article is from Saturday’s WSJ, and it comes not from a conservative but from that nearly extinct specie–an honest man of the left. It is a great read, and it sheds important light on the matter.

on the philosophies behind the New Deal. I just think that Americans, in a lesser degree, think they work. There are still those who think that basically, Americans are too dumb to understand what is good for them, so they will continue to force their progressive (read Marxist) beliefs down the throats of those who hold little power.

Obama, like Roosevelt, believes that brain trusts gleened from Columbia and Harvard, can figure out how to solve all the ailments of the nation. Obama is wrong, as was FDR. But Obama fancies himself as the reincarnation of FDR, except he faces one major problem; no one believes him. FDR held the nation spell bound even as his programs, such as the communal farm system started by Rex (The Red) Tugwell, failed. FDR possessed the gift of leadership, however wrongheaded, while Obama does not. FDR was deeply, and personally, involved in law making, while Obama abdicates that authority to a Democrat Congress.

There are still those that believe that only in a oppressive central government can we achieve true equality. But the equality they seek, as did FDR, is not of opportunity but of wealth. People are surprised when I quote the tenents of the Communist Manifesto and they see how many of those tenents were acheived during FDR far-too-long reign.

The current administration still panders to the unions, although Americans see that it is the non-union states that are experiencing some economic stability. Americans are also beginning to understand that excessive taxation, without governmental spending restraint, will gain us nothing. The Democrats will continue to pander to the underclass, knowing that a constant new supply has to be maintained in order for them to continue to be elected as voters will always vote with their wallets. Success will be punished and failure rewarded.

Every conservative in America should read Amity Shales’ Forgotten Man, and also FDR’s Folly. We need to understand how we got where we are, and what we have to do to reverse the harm done. We understand that the programs installed by FDR was abstract failures but knowing why they were implemented in the first place is a must.

That question is actually easily answered: A coalition of greens, homosexual activists, La Raza, public sector unions, and OWS types (the true scuzzy hippy-dippy OWS people, not the labor unions.)

The power of the new coalition could be be most clearly seen in the Keystone Pipeline decision. If the New Deal coalition still had power, that project would have sailed through; it would have been a no-brainer. Instead, it stalled because the most powerful forces in the modern Democratic Party (the greens and the public sector unions) believe both that 1) the threat of manmade climate change is a more existential threat then systemic unemployment and continued economic malaise, and 2) abundant, secure and relatively inexpensive petroleum will stand in their way of grabbing massive amounts of power through the establishment of regulatory regimes and distribution of “clean energy” subsidies that the current powers that be say will both combat climate change and “end America’s dependence on foreign oil.” Take away the fear of and need for Middle Eastern and OPEC oil, and it becomes that much harder to persuade Americans to hand over control of the energy sector to greens and public sector unionized bureaucracies, and to hell with the private sector unions who need those heavy industry jobs.

that the greatest threat to their lifestyle is government insolvency from Democrats buying votes from the scums and bums, I think they will turn to a far more conservative posture about government entitlement spending.

to the Times lumping me in with “unions, city machines, people on relief and generally non-affluent progressive intellectuals” Just which industry do they think is predominant in the deep red rural areas??

Proud to stand with blue collar workers and blacks, though.

“I’m Bawney Fwank and this is the WEAL Weason I won’t be rwunning for Congwess again. Between we-distrwicting and coming up with legislashown that cunsistently ignows the needs of the middle cuwlass, I don’t think I cun win.”

The Democrats are hoping that if they can get four more years of Obama they will have a permanent lock on power and the FDR coalition won’t matter any more.

Daniel Hannan, UK Member of the European Parliament, has been saying this for over two years. His argument is based on the UK National Health Service. The NHS is (according to him) the third-largest employer on earth after the Red (Chinese) Army and India National Railways and none of whom will vote for a politician who might eliminate their jobs (the majority of the NHS employees are bureaucrats). *

Four more years of Obama will make Obamacare irreversible, and all those bureaucrats employed by Obamacare will become an electoral bloc that will guarantee the Democrats’ majority. None of them will want to vote themselves out of a job, so they will all vote Democrat.

If we don’t gut Obamacare in the next two years, we will never be rid of it, and we will never be rid of a Democrat majority. That is their dream, and they are willing to sacrifice many sacred cows to see it come to pass.

Not a very bright move. Sort of like playing political Russian Roulette with six rounds chambered, but after spending twenty years seated in the front pew of Reverend Jeremiah ‘It’s not God bless America! It’s God d@mn America!” Wright’s church, its not un expected from the most anti American president ever. There is a lot of hate wrapped into and behind the Reverend’s classic statement, most of that abject hatred directed at White America, and Barack Hussein Obama carries every gram of it within himself. Look at the speed and alacrity with which the Winston Churchill bust found its way to the dumpster in back of the White House after January 20, 2009, or how NASA’s purpose was redirected to specifically attend to the needs of Mecca or how swiftly the Northern Defense Command was flushed down the toilet. Both NASA and the Northern Defense Command had one thing in common, they both employed a lot of highly paid, highly educated, mostly white personnel. Gone!

Look for an emergency Hillary Presidential campaign shortly, Barack is today playing the part of the Pied Piper of Hamelin and leading the Democratic Party down the hill into the river.
