The Audacity of Socialism

Here's an important IBD editorial about socialism and Barack. Pretty devastating. How could the media have dropped the ball so badly on properly vetting this candidate for the presidency? I know I'm being somewhat facetious in asking that, since it's obvious they're water carriers for him.  But check out this "the dots are right there for connecting" excerpt:

We wrote that in 1995, South Side Chicago pol Alice Palmer introduced her chosen successor, Obama, to a few of the district's influential liberals at the home of two well-known figures on the local left: William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, self-described Marxists and ex-leaders of the terrorist Weather Underground.

"I remember being one of a small group of people who came to Bill Ayers' house to learn that Alice Palmer was stepping down from the Senate and running for Congress," said Quentin Young, a prominent Chicago physician and advocate for single-payer health care. "(Palmer) identified (Obama) as her successor."

We asked the following: "Before old-style Chicago politics as practiced by an ambitious Obama doomed their friendship, he thought Palmer was a good public servant, and Soviet admirer Palmer thought he was a worthy heir. Why?"

Well, now we know.

If one wants gubmit employment--where the action is--it's time to party on. I've thought of my high-ranking GS buddy who anticipates retiring at $125k a year in about ten years' time. He'll be in his early fifties. A lot better deal than mine in the private sector. Working as a layman for the Catholic church has got to be the worst financial decision one can make.
