They're not even trying to fake it

It's an ancient game -- and one that always ends in misery. By that I mean the way the 'progressive left' incites warfare between arbitrary groups of people. It's what they specialize in. They divide people based upon income, race, religion, creed and gender -- pitting one group against the other for petty partisan gain.

Last week it was Al Sharpton and the NAACP accusing the Tea Party conservatives of racism (never mind the roughly two dozen national conservative candidates of color). This week it's outright agitprop by a group called 'American Progress'. Hint: they're un-American and anti-progress.

Here, the deficit is portrayed as the fault of the rich. Never mind the $840 billion 'Stimulus' bill that simply propped up bloated state governments. Forget about the half-a-trillion Omnibus Spending Bill that ratcheted up government hiring at an unprecedented rate. And don't you even mention socialized medicine, because it hasn't kicked in yet. Therefore: it's all the fault of the evil rich--the top 2%.

Who are the evil '2%' -- the Bourgeoisie? Is it the police officer who is married to a flower-shop owner in San Diego, who together make over $200,000 in combined gross income? Or is it the 60-year old machine-shop owner in Tulsa who spent his entire life building a business that grosses slightly over $250,000? Are they the evil 'rich'?

For comparison purposes, consider this poster from the Soviet Union, circa 1950.

Uhm...

• The 'fat-cat' rich living in the lap of luxury? Check

• The down-trodden 'middle class' counting their pennies? Check

• The all-knowing, all-seeing government -- hidden from view, but certain to be far more efficient than the free market? Check and mate.

Gee, can anyone tell me how the Soviet Union turned out?

These leftist Democrats are so freaking stupid it makes me nauseous. History, facts, logic and reason make no difference to them. They blindly believe in and follow an ideology -- an ideology that has failed in every time and place it's been tried. But they believe in it with a religious fervor that can only be compared to that of a cult.

Yes: our current leaders are cultists.

It's November or never.
