The Democrats Blew It - O not "transformative" enough
2012-09-10
Huffpo column by Steven Van Zandt
Instead, they were too busy selling us the same Obama they sold us last time. You know the "transformational" guy. Well I'm sorry but that's just fraud. He never was that guy or he'd be working on a list like this:
•Overturn Buckley v Valeo;
•Eliminate all private money in the election process;
•Ban all international military sales;
•Eliminate all use of fossil fuels over the next ten years;
•Ban all preservatives, steroids, chemicals, additives, pesticides in our food;
•Ban sugar;
•Gather Futurists to design what the country should be in 50 years and then create jobs to fit the model;
•Create the national green energy grid;
•Build the high speed train network;
•Health insurance for everyone for free;
•Moratorium on all foreclosures;
•Lower personal and Corporate tax rates to 15% and institute a 10% acquisition tax on all financial services transactions, acquisitions, mergers, and stock trades to make up for it;
•Eliminate all air and water pollution;
•Ban plastic bottles;
•Put Arts classes back into schools;

You know, stuff like that. That's transformative.
What would really be transformative is idiots like you shutting the f* up and not telling the rest of us how to live. I never liked yer music either.

#9  Stalin and Mao didn't have a large middle class to deal with. Hitler co-opted them.

Good point, P2k. Obama may have set ours back significantly, but many learned a lesson, while others continue to stockpile guns & ammo. I doubt a Stalin or a Hitler or a Mao would get very far in America.

My point was merely that BHO's problem is not so much being insufficiently transformative, but being lazy, and also gutless. Thank goodness.

#7  Political difference explained by check cashing:

Obama supporter - Signs all checks on the back.

R&R supporter - Signs all checks on the front.

#6  ...of course the first attempt for the lefties in the Paris Commune didn't turn out quite as they thought when a large middle class (incl petite bourgeoisie) was around. Stalin and Mao didn't have a large middle class to deal with. Hitler co-opted them.

#5  Bullocks. BHO is transformative enough - but he's also just another lazy, effete academic commie who thought his mere presence and a bit of pixie dust is all it would take to bring about the glorious revolution. Swift and widespread violence would have been required to "transform" as BHO sought. Obviously, no one ever taught him that Stalin, Hitler, and Mao weren't lazy - and had no objection to rivers of blood.

#4  Ban all preservatives, steroids, chemicals, additives, pesticides in our food

Logically, the next item after this should be:

* Invite three or four billion people to leave the planet.
