Exclusive: You Can’t Make This Stuff Up! (12/24/09)
Whenever you think general incompetence by those who purport to serve by the consent of the governed can’t get any worse, think again:
“Transvestites, Mao and Obama Ornaments Decorate White House Christmas Tree” (Big Government, 12/22/09)
Why let a holiday season come between the White House and making some political statements? The White House pegged controversial designer Simon Doonan to oversee the Christmas decorations for the White House. Mr. Doonan, who is creative director of Barney’s New York has often caused a stir with his design choices. Like his naughty yuletide window display of Margaret Thatcher as a dowdy dominatrix and Dan Quayle as a ventriloquist’s dummy. For this year’s White House, he didn’t disappoint.

We now realize we were a bit hasty when we recently noted that even though the White House initially resisted putting up the traditional crèche in the East Room, we could be thankful that the tree was not festooned with condoms. Upon reflection, perhaps condoms aren’t so bad after all.
Will “Merry Christmas” be replaced in the American lexicon with “Mao-y Christmas”? Or, perhaps, “Barry Christmas”?
“The Communists Behind Obama’s Health Care Goals” (Front Page Magazine, 12/23/09)
The polls have been clear for quite some time: By a substantial margin, Americans oppose the efforts of Barack Obama and Congressional Democrats to enact a massive overhaul of the U.S. healthcare system, one that would greatly expand the federal government’s role.
Significantly, the President’s deeply held positions on healthcare were derived largely from the influence of a politically aggressive group of longtime Marxists whose worldviews were consistent with those Obama had already developed from other radical influences in his life.
[…]
The primary figure who delivered Obama to the single-payer camp was Quentin Young, an 86-year-old retired physician who was a longtime friend and neighbor of Obama in Chicago. Young joined the Young Communist League as a teenager in the late 1930s. From the mid-1940s through the mid-1970s, he was closely associated with the Communist Party. In October 1968 he was called to testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee, which was probing the extent of his knowledge about the riots that had erupted at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago two months earlier. The Committee accused Young of belonging to the Bethune Club, an organization for communist doctors; the group was named after Norman Bethune, a communist physician who devoted his services to the totalitarian regime of Mao Zedong.
Dr. Young was active in the radical movements of the Sixties and Seventies and led a small delegation to Communist North Vietnam in 1972. In the late 1970s, Young became associated [11] with a Marxist organization known as the New American Movement, which was initially convened by Michael Lerner, an America-hating radical who counseled young people to explore the use of LSD and other hallucinogenic drugs as portals to a greater comprehension of socialist principles.
In 1980 Young founded the Health and Medicine Policy Research Group, a single-payer lobby group [16] whose Board of Directors he chairs to this day. In 1982 Young helped establish the Democratic Socialists of America, which, as the principal U.S. affiliate of the Socialist International, asserts that “many structures of our government and economy must be radically transformed.” In 1987 Young co-founded Physicians for a National Health Program (PNHP), a single-payer advocacy organization where he currently serves as national coordinator. In PNHP’s view, government-run healthcare “should be financed by truly progressive taxation.”

Health care reform? Or a complete transformation of the American free market system? You be the judge.
“Home for the Holidays: Obama Frees 12 More Gitmo Terrorists” (News Real Blog 12/23/09)
Holding true to his campaign promise to close the detention center at Guantanamo Bay (Gitmo), Cuba, President Barack Obama has again made the world a little less safe, by releasing twelve more jihadists from that facility over the weekend.
Four Afghans, two Somalis, and six Yemenis were sent back home, presumably to live happily ever after. Amy Goodman, the Marxist journalist whose mission is to disparage the US at every opportunity, took the time to profile one of the ex-prisoners, a Somali named Mohamed Saleban Bare, on her program Democracy Now!. Bare’s story, which kept Goodman spellbound, centered on his description of Gitmo as being “hell on earth.”

Santa sure was good to these 12 now former members of Club Gitmo. Will they, like 11 percent of those who were released before them, return to trying to kill Americans and other kuffar (non-believers)? Oh sure, 11 percent doesn’t seem like a big deal. But it only takes one man wearing a bomb hidden under the burka he wears to avoid detection to kill scores of people. And we all know how highly the good people of Yemen and Somalia think of us.
