Comrade Obama: Cap-and-Trade Socialism
Obama loves America and has a wonderful plan for our lives.
Furthermore, he is thoughtfully creating a massive Federal Empire to ensure that evil private-sector interests do not stand in the way of a progressive, secularist Washington-centric state that also loves us and has a wonderful plan for our lives.
R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr., however, knows a socialist when he sees one:
The Prophet Obama was very disturbed recently when asked if he was a socialist. Socialism is government control of the means of producing and distributing goods and services. What I have just described is a powerful instrumentality toward socialism. Along with Cap-and-Trade, the Obama Administration is calling for a sufficient number of these instrumentalities to socialism that by the next election the United States will be very close to being a socialist state. There is no point in Obama arguing against that observation. He ought simply to come out and say it. He is for socialism. What could possibly be wrong with that?
What on earth is Tyrrell up to? People like him could ruin Obama's best-laid plans. Something to consider at tea-time.
