F.D.R. (Franklin Delano Roosevelt) championed “The New Deal” with his legislative program, while L.B.J. (Lyndon Baines Johnson) pushed for “The Great Society.” I firmly believe that the legislative agenda being promoted by B.H.O. (the guy who lives in the White House) and so ably abetted by The Speaker of The House and The Senate Majority Leader should be called “The Bum Steer.”
It seems incredible to me that we elected a man who freely admits that he actively sought out the companionship of Marxists. Yet, he freely admits virtually nothing else. What’s going on over the Internet, as this is written, about no classmates of B.H.O. remembering him from Columbia University is alarming. This is not a recent revelation. When B.H.O. was a candidate for the nomination, FOX News aired programs on the background of the major contenders. B.H.O.’s invisibility was brought up at that time, but I guess not enough people actually understood the implication. That’s the only thing I can think of to explain why anybody except a Communist or Socialist would have voted for the guy.
When I’m not writing columns and articles and other non-fiction, Sharon and I write novels, as most of you know. If B.H.O. were a figure in a political thriller, we couldn’t draw his character with such obvious strokes. When I was a kid, one of my favorite cartoon characters was “Mighty Mouse.” Mighty Mouse was always saving “Pearl Pureheart” and her father from the evil “Oil Can Harry.” Oil Can Harry looked the part of a villain. Villains in movies and in theater used to actually look like a villain, so the audience would know when the guy came on stage or in frame and could hiss at him. In modern fiction, you can’t make your villain so obvious. We could never have a character with background like B.H.O. supposedly has because it would be like having a guy in dark clothes and a tall hat curling the ends of his mustache as he ties the defenseless damsel in distress to the railroad tracks while the “Special” is steaming around the bend.
The United States is the “damsel in distress” in this story. And what about the guy with the mysterious past, who hangs out with un-repentant Marxist bombers, who used to attend a church pastored by a man who curses America, who wants to re-distribute wealth, which is a principal tenet of Communism? He’s tying us to the tracks and the freight train of domestic spending, globalism, socialism and betrayal of the basic principles of a free society is racing down on us. We can hiss the villain all we want, but to get out of the way of the locomotive is going to take action in the 2010 Mid-Term Election and effort worthy of a superhero in 2012 when, God willing, we re-take the White House. We must relegate The Bum Steer to its proper place in history – the trash.
