On 'Obama's toxic brew'

Joan Swirsky's piece at Red County that offers an analogy of the incantation of the three demonic witches over their cauldron that herald the downfall of King Macbeth to "the three warlocks of the new administration - President Obama, his chief Chicago-Machine-henchman Rahm Emanuel, and his tax-cheating Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner," indeed portrays the situation we now find ourselves in:

[...] Macbeth, Act 4: The incantation of three demonic witches over their cauldron, which heralds the downfall of King Macbeth.

It's not witches, but the three warlocks of the new administration - President Obama, his chief Chicago-Machine-henchman Rahm Emanuel, and his tax-cheating Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner - who are boiling the American people in a cauldron of their own, not with poisoned entrails, eye of newt, or toe of frog, but with a fatal mixture of a trillion-dollars of so-called "stimulus" dollars, draconian tax hikes, doomed-to-fail bailouts, and additional healthcare and other expenditures that are, above all, designed to bankrupt the United States of America.

As people helplessly watch their life savings, 401ks, real estate assets, children's college funds, financial viability, and everything that affects their jobs, security and investments vanish as the Stock Market hurtles downward toward its crashing point, they hear unmistakably gleeful cackles emanating from the leftist radicals who now occupy the Oval Office and the Congress.

Why are they cackling? Why are they gleeful? Because they have finally been catapulted into power and are now able to translate their deep loathing of everything that has made America great - free-market capitalism, the U.S. Constitution, small government, low taxes - into their own Socialist-cum-Marxist-cum-Communist vision.

Obama's oft-stated "share-the-wealth" philosophy was just the starting point. He's in a good mood and serving $100-dollar-per-pound steaks in the White House precisely because the Dow Jones average is tanking. This is because he believes, perversely, that punishing the majority of Americans is a way to redress the "sins" he so often attributes to America, and to avenge the have-not career victims who have convinced themselves - and been convinced by liberals and leftists - that the world owes them a living.

Although I see Joan's "three warlocks of the new administration" as key elements of "Obama's toxic brew," I would argue that one has to consider the liberal-progressive, socialist, Democrats in Congress as part and parcel of the same brew. Together, unless by some miracle their control of both the House and the Senate is broken in the next election, the toxic brew that "is" Obama will kill everything that has made America great and turn us into a socialist - if not communist nation that is as bankrupt as the old Soviet Union.
