Calling Sowell a pseudo-intellectual because you disagree with his politics is weak. But I guess that's all you guys can really do.

While I think the agenda has little or nothing to do with race, it would have been more accurate, or at least more clear, to say that the race card is being actively played to further the broader and more ambitious goal.

Who plays the race card more than the Democrats? And how is that any different from Marx using the plight of the proletariat to further his own broader agenda?

Early this spring, I spent two very long days traveling around Kentucky with Orly Taitz, one of the leading "birthers" in a nation full of them. So I can tell you with confidence " and show you later in this week's column and next " that this is much, much crazier than most people imagine " and alarmingly in sync with the "tea parties" and wild accusations of socialism that seem to define the current "conservative" opposition.

WASHINGTON " Militia groups with gripes against the government are regrouping across the country and could grow rapidly, according to an organization that tracks such trends.
The stress of a poor economy and a liberal administration led by a black president are among the causes for the recent rise, the report from the Southern Poverty Law Center says. Conspiracy theories about a secret Mexican plan to reclaim the Southwest are also growing amid the public debate about illegal immigration.
Bart McEntire, a special agent with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, told SPLC researchers that this is the most growth he's seen in more than a decade.
"All it's lacking is a spark," McEntire said in the report.

Meaning you were blowing smoke per usual and don't really have a clue what you're talking about.

Marx's broader agenda was to tear down and destroy the establishment--government, political structures, history, religion, social values, education--and elevate the proletariat to power.

So then, Obama and the Democrats want to tear down and destroy the establishment--government, political structures, history, religion, social values, education, and elevate the proletariat to power, huh?

Which are crazier, the birthers', the 9/11 conspiracy theorists' or these ideas?

Obama's healthcare horror
Heads should roll -- beginning with Nancy Pelosi's!
By Camille Paglia
Aug. 12, 2009

Buyer's remorse? Not me. At the North American summit in Guadalajara this week, President Obama resumed the role he is best at -- representing the U.S. with dignity and authority abroad. This is why I, for one, voted for Obama and continue to support him. The damage done to U.S. prestige by the feckless, buffoonish George W. Bush will take years to repair. Obama has barely begun the crucial mission that he was elected to do.

Having said that, I must confess my dismay bordering on horror at the amateurism of the White House apparatus for domestic policy. When will heads start to roll? I was glad to see the White House counsel booted, as well as Michelle Obama's chief of staff, and hope it's a harbinger of things to come. Except for that wily fox, David Axelrod, who could charm gold threads out of moonbeams, Obama seems to be surrounded by juvenile tinhorns, bumbling mediocrities and crass bully boys.

Case in point: the administration's grotesque mishandling of healthcare reform, one of the most vital issues facing the nation. Ever since Hillary Clinton's megalomaniacal annihilation of our last best chance at reform in 1993 (all of which was suppressed by the mainstream media when she was running for president), Democrats have been longing for that happy day when this issue would once again be front and center.

But who would have thought that the sober, deliberative Barack Obama would have nothing to propose but vague and slippery promises -- or that he would so easily cede the leadership clout of the executive branch to a chaotic, rapacious, solipsistic Congress? House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, whom I used to admire for her smooth aplomb under pressure, has clearly gone off the deep end with her bizarre rants about legitimate town-hall protests by American citizens. She is doing grievous damage to the party and should immediately step down.

There is plenty of blame to go around. Obama's aggressive endorsement of a healthcare plan that does not even exist yet, except in five competing, fluctuating drafts, makes Washington seem like Cloud Cuckoo Land. The president is promoting the most colossal, brazen bait-and-switch operation since the Bush administration snookered the country into invading Iraq with apocalyptic visions of mushroom clouds over American cities.

You can keep your doctor; you can keep your insurance, if you're happy with it, Obama keeps assuring us in soothing, lullaby tones. Oh, really? And what if my doctor is not the one appointed by the new government medical boards for ruling on my access to tests and specialists? And what if my insurance company goes belly up because of undercutting by its government-bankrolled competitor? Face it: Virtually all nationalized health systems, neither nourished nor updated by profit-driven private investment, eventually lead to rationing.

I just don't get it. Why the insane rush to pass a bill, any bill, in three weeks? And why such an abject failure by the Obama administration to present the issues to the public in a rational, detailed, informational way? The U.S. is gigantic; many of our states are bigger than whole European nations. The bureaucracy required to institute and manage a nationalized health system here would be Byzantine beyond belief and would vampirically absorb whatever savings Obama thinks could be made. And the transition period would be a nightmare of red tape and mammoth screw-ups, which we can ill afford with a faltering economy.

Today, at a town-hall meeting hosted by Sen. Ben Cardin (D-MD), a man held up a small, handwritten sign reading "Death to Obama," The Hill's J. Taylor Rushing reports.

City councilman's e-mail included joke about killing Obama

contrarian contrarian blah blah more contrarian more blah I swear I am a liberal (contrarian) absolute value of negative attention is still attention blah contrarian Charles Pierce will have another field day Charles Pierce who? contrarian blah. The End.

Oh, I thought you had said that Obama and the Democrats are trying to implement a Marxist agenda--what with its broader agenda which you delineated-- onto the USA.

So then to clarify, what is Obama's and the Democrats' broader agenda?
