All War is Socialism Incarnate

Americans LOVE socialism when it suits their emotional whimsy -- like WAR with really cool tricked out remote bombs -- then curse it when it conflicts with their 4th grade civics book text. We're so easily indoctrinated in our early years. Who manufactured those books that said that socialism is evil? Jesus the Bookmaker? Pastor's Publishing, Inc.? Probably not. A subsidiary of the Wall Street Journal? Much more likely.

A Tangent on Warfare as an Intrinsic Social Good

All war is pure socialism, paid for in whole without any authentic regard to cost containment; in fact, all war is a political act of pure communism, because the leaders are committing the labor of the entire population to the cause, no matter what. War is the only 100% Tax Expenditure Burden, benefiting only the corporations that can extend the reach of the PepsiCo market, and the only one we give the Royal Imperial Executive Branch carte blanche to wage -- COMPLETELY contrary to the Constitution of the United States of America, Article 1, Section 8, Clause 11, aka the War Powers Clause.

The Congress shall have Power To:

• regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes;
• establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization, and uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States;
• coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures; (OOPS! Federal Reserve is ILLEGAL, TOO!)
• declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water;
  

Yet, will we hold the current CRIMINALS in both the executive and legislative branches responsible for their illegal breeches of duty? Congress, for chicken-shit pass-the-buck policy over to the executive branch and the White House for then preemptively storm trooping on what it very likely knew was false evidence?

No, instead, the lunatic fringe and fully intubated fox-fed-far-right will seek instead to emasculate the inevitable democratic leadership in 2009, out of no motivation other than misguided self-righteous spite. I find that utterly nauseating.

Perhaps the only thing more nauseating is all the MINDLESS DEMOCRAT SHEEP in the Congress that voted to abdicate their own responsibilities and hand that power to a pinhead in the white house -- Hillary was indeed among them. Only 23 Thinking Humans in the Senate voted NAY; while 133 Sentient Representatives were found in the House. This is yet another reason why I've had my eye on Barack Obama for the past several years.

H. Clinton:

So it is with conviction that I support this resolution as being in the best interests of our nation. A vote for it is not a vote to rush to war; it is a vote that puts awesome responsibility in the hands of our President and we say to him - use these powers wisely and as a last. And it is a vote that says clearly to Saddam Hussein - this is your last chance - disarm or be disarmed.

B. Obama (c-span archive video):

Afghanistan in fact was NOT a preemptive war, it was a war launched directly against those who were responsible for 9/11. Iraq WAS a preemptive war, based on faulty evidence; and, I say that not in hindsight or Monday morning quarterbacking -- six months before the war was launched I questioned the evidence that would lead to us being there. In terms of timetable, I not somebody who thinks we can say with certainty that year from now or six months from now, we're going to be able to pull down troops.

This clip from Obama is not out of political expediency of the moment or lusting for QUICK CHEAP POLL SUPPORT ... this is 2004's Road to the White House ... a road he wasn't even on. This is about the time when I first saw his ANALYTICAL PRECISION and POLITICAL INTEGRITY taking shape. We may well have a new JFK for our era ... my concern is that he gets elected, only to be murdered by some goddamn bible-slinging KKK Neanderthal within the first two years.
