As Obama's Marxist background amply demonstrates, his intention is to subvert the American economic system and put in its place a totalitarian socialist order.
The trillion dollar spending program does more to create dependency on government than any legislation in history. Hats in hand, bankers, auto companies, states, mortgage payers, all must now bow to government. But that's only the first step in creating a voting bloc that will ensure perpetual socialist control of the levers of power. Now the constitutionally mandated ten-year census will become a weapon in the community organizer's socialist takeover.
The president, a former community organizer, is steeped in Saul Alinsky's principles of radical revolution -- he has studied them, taught them, and written about them. As Alinsky himself wrote, his "rules for radicals" are essentially about one thing: "How to organize for power: how to get it and to use it." They instruct radicals how, through misleading language and stealthy infiltration of the institutions, to seize power. Anyone who has read Alinsky could have predicted that the census would be among Obama's top priorities. It is abstruse and bureaucratic, but it apportions political clout. It is tailor-made for an activist bent on shifting power from red states to blue.
To do that, Obama needs to cook the books. That is what the GOP should be paying attention to. The Constitution calls for an "actual Enumeration" of the population. Republicans traditionally take the view that this means an "actual Enumeration," a real head-count. Democrats believe this method tends to undercount society's ne'er-do-wells and others who "live in the shadows," i.e., their constituents. Thus, under the guise of promoting science and technology, Democrats press for sampling, surveys, and statistical models that they say would improve the accuracy of the census but will, in fact, move us away from actual enumeration and toward conjecture. In Utah v. Evans, the Supreme Court ruled that "actual Enumeration" gave Congress latitude to permit statistical counting methodologies but held that the law might rule out "gross statistical estimates."So what's the difference? How far can Democrats push that envelope and count (or double count, or invent) new Democratic constituents? How many non-citizens or imaginary Americans will they include in their tabulations? We don't know. But you can bet the Obama administration plans to do for "actual Enumeration" exactly what it is doing to "stimulus," and for the same reason: to cement a permanent majority to sustain leftist policies.
The remaking of America should send chills down the spines of those who earn and produce and will now be sharing their wealth with the permanent hands-out new majority.
President Obama, once the candidate of an openly socialist party, has made a career of calling for fiscal and social upheaval, hiding behind such euphemisms as "redistributive change," "economic justice," and "spread[ing] the wealth around." He criticized the Warren Court for not being radical enough -- which is like saying Nadya Suleman wasn't pregnant enough -- because it failed to embrace a constitutional theory that would have imposed confiscatory tax policies to underwrite a new New Deal. He is, in short, the most left-wing politician ever elected to the presidency.
Is anyone protesting? The Republican National Committee says it's "disappointed" in Obama. This is all it can say in the face of "the most intrusive extension of central governmental control over the lives of Americans in our nation's history"?
