A bit of heart versus a piece of mind

Bad politicians are sent to Washington by good people who don't vote.

Manchurian Candidate versus The Trojan Horse

“All human experience is in the tale of Troy, first put into epic form by Homer who lived between 850 and 800 B.C.” The Trojan Horse gained entrance to the Fortress of Troy because the opinion leaders of Troy (read today’s mainstream media) decided, out of fear of offending the Gods of cultural correctness, to dismantle Troy’s main gate and roll the Greek gift-horse inside.

During the night, the Trojans, thinking they had beaten the Greeks and were free to spend their Bill Clinton-like “peace dividend” on wine, women and song, were slaughtered by 30 Athenian Special Forces-types who were hidden inside the Trojan Horse. Also, there was the usual “mole,” who signaled the Greek Army to come back to Troy and join in the slaughter.

By analogy, Obama plays the role of the Greek general who devised the Trojan Horse. His Special Forces are the 30 or so key appointees who are helping Obama spend the nation into unsustainable debt. Also, there were those who read Candidate Obama’s two autobiographies and recognized the Marxist-Leninist belief system of Candidate Obama’s mentors. They argued it would be folly to allow Candidate Obama (mostly, on the basis of political/racial correctness), to roll his entourage through the gates of the White House. Like Cassandra, they were not believed.

In his 1964 book, From Colonialism to Communism, former North Vietnamese communist official, Huong Van Chi, revealed how Ho Chi Minh (after exterminating the upper class that had “collaborated” with French colonialism), saddled the remaining common folk with crushing debt, making them beholden to and fearful of the central communist regime. Those who resisted the confiscation of their land, via Uncle Ho’s heavy taxation, were made to confess theirs “crimes” and executed.

Today’s massive federal debt and the redistribution of wealth via taxes that will hit after January 1, 2011, could be analogous to what happened to the people of North Vietnam. The good news is: much of the socialization of medicine and commerce can be reversed by legislation. The bad news is: the massive debt already incurred cannot be undone by congressional action.

You will be happier if you will give people a bit of your heart rather than a piece of your mind.
