Obama, Ryan, Bachmann Hardly Relate the True State of the Union
State of the Union
One of us had to do this, right?
Here are, in order, Putative President Obama’s State of the Union Address, Rep. Paul Ryan’s (WI) official GOP response, and that of Rep. Michele Bachmann (MN) for the Tea Party (Express).
I meant for my comments to be very sparing, but succeeded in making them very atypical. As you know, these speeches are about what politicians sort of think they can get away with, before the public, the media, and even the twittering tongues and tingling legs of the pundits. In other words, they are conventional and sanitized, to say the least.
But, you, the reader of an article such as this, are not likely satisfied with even the prettiest, laundered, and ironed out veil over the body politic. We want the naked truth, “warts and all,” as Lincoln said to the portraitist. We know this crisis America faces is not just about monstrous debt and debilitating taxes. We see, more and more, that it is about competing versions of a globally orchestrated and controlled society, well in process of being foisted upon Sovereign American Citizens.
The predominant version at present is Marxofascist, that is, it is authoritarian, statist, and collectivist, with varying degrees of a show of enforced egalitarianism — enough to bring along the few among us, whose sense of fairness has turned traitorously envious and invidious.
But this version of controller, especially after the 2010 elections and in preparation for 2012, must hide their neo-Marxist desires. They can’t exactly tell you they intend to keep following the Trotsky-Gramsci-Alinsky-Cloward-Piven-Weathermen model, to collapse a sovereign and free American economy and society, now can they?
No, instead, here is what they say.
