A Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing is Still a Wolf

There is a stained glass window on display in the London School of Economics. Designed by George Bernard Shaw to commemorate the founding of the Society, the “Fabian Window” features Society members hammering the world in order, as the motto proclaims, to “REMOULD IT NEARER TO THE HEART’S DESIRE.” [sic]. A close and politically astute friend of mine–and leading expert on socialism–exclaimed: “How brazen are the socialists!” When I asked why, he pointed to the image of the wolf dressed in a sheepskin displayed prominently above the globe in the Fabian Window–a stark and ostentatious reminder that the goal of the socialists is to work secretly, in disguise (just as Lenin counseled) and adapt to the flock, pack, or society in which you live and move. Put simply, if you read and study socialist thought, the message is very clear: work to remould the work to your heart’s desire and work for socialist causes discreetly–in disguise–adapting to whatever milieu in which you are working. This, of course, begs the question which America must now answer: “Whose heart desires to remould the world and how?” Depending on who has the hammer–we may or may not like the change. Fast forward from the days of Lenin and Shaw, to the present. Barack Hussein Obama’s Freudian slip (or, at best, poorly timed quip) about Sarah Palin and “lipstick on a pig,” reminded me of Lenin, windows, and wolves somehow. Obama looks good. He is (as Biden once said during the primaries) “intelligent and articulate.” He wears nice suits. He has wonderful stage presence and he is a rock star. And people have no idea who he is, where he came from, who influenced him or what his plans are if he–the most inexperienced politician ever to come out of nowhere–is elected president. Influenced by “Uncle” Frank Marshall Davis (a communist organizer in Hawaii whose agenda was only to promote racial and class struggle), Billy Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn–two unapologetic American terrorists who went underground for years to foster terrorism and support our enemies right here in our own country–a radical black liberation “minister” and others, he has an agenda. And, the change of which he speaks may well not be what most Americans think, or want.

What are his plans for America?

–Redistribution of wealth from those who own the means of production to those who don’t. –Fostering of class envy and economic class warfare –Government control of the health care system and education –Mandatory sex education for kindergarteners and promotion of same sex marriages –Increased capital gains tax –Taxing corporations for being too successful –Punishing with new federal taxes, employers who do not choose to purchase health insurance for their employees –Increased deference to the United Nations and erosion of our national sovereignty –Talking to the enemies of Israel and America –Bigger and more intrusive government His campaign and his platform are eerily reminiscent of the message on the Fabian Window, the writings of V.I. Lenin, and the political thought of Antonio Gramsci. He has plans for America and the world. He wants to “remould the world nearer to [his] heart’s desire.” But we must ask ourselves, who is he…really? Americans have not asked enough, and they are far too naïve when it comes to Obama. We simply cannot trust him with the hammer. A pig with lipstick may still be a pig; but a socialist in a business suit is still a socialist. And a wolf in sheep’s clothing is still a wolf.
