Red Seal, New Deal

"The tone and tendency of liberalism...is to attack the institutions of the country under the name of reform and to make war on the manners and customs (and freedom) of the people under the pretext of progress." --Disraeli, "Speech in London"


A Red New Deal with a Soviet seal
Endorsed by a Moscow hand,
The strange result of an alien cult
In a liberty loving land.


FDR supporter Merle Thorpe wrote in 1935, "We have given legislative status, either in whole or in part, to eight of the ten points of the Communist Manifesto of 1848; and, as some point out, done (sic) a better job of implementation than Russia."
Religious leader Colonel Eugene N. Sanctuary's pamphlet 'Is the New Deal Communist?' made a 35 point comparison of it to Marx's 1848 program.


I'M SO TIRED OF IT ALL
I'm so tired - Oh so tired - of the whole New Deal;
Of the juggler's smile; the barker's spiel.
Tired of taxes on my ham and eggs;
Tired of payoffs to political yeggs.
I'm tired of farmer's goose-stepping to laws;
Of millions of itching job-holder's paws;
Of Fireside Talks over commandeered mikes;
Of passing more laws to stimulate strikes.
I'm tired of the hourly-increasing debt;
I'm tired of promises still to be met;
Of eating and sleeping by Government plan;
Of calmly forgetting the Forgotten Man.
I'm tired of every new brain-trust thought;
Of the ship of state - now a pleasure yacht.
I'm tired of cheating the courts by stealth;
And terribly tired of sharing my wealth.
I'm tired and bored with the whole New Deal;
With its juggler's smile and barker's spiel.


SOME NEW DEAL FIGURES :)

U.S. Population (1935)...120,000,000
46,000,000 Eligible for Old Age Pension
30,000,000 Children prohibited from working
30,000,000 Government employees
13,999,998 Unemployed
---------------------
119,999,998


Left to produce U.S. wealth = 2
Just you and me - and I'm all worn out!

Diplomacy

Diplomacy has been in action for the past eight years as evidenced by the now familiar Condi Rice, and soon to be Hillary. The question I ask, Will it be enought to stop a nuclear hot spot like the India and Pakistan tension?

And here to the south of Texas we have an undeclared war going on with enough blame to go everywhere. Events like this are daily, terrorism or house cleaning from within, it will be just a small step to organise into an organised force.

The Cartels and drug Lords are on the verge of becoming a revolutionary army between us and Mexico. The recipe is already mixed, supply line in place, just add a little Chavez, stir in Russia support and wella!

It's the events that shape a presidency, how well the president handles it is the measure of the man. Not a position that many would volunteer for in todays world.

Hillary just accepted!!

Just a thought
