Well, apparently the Democrat Canto known as "Hope and Change" is also another name for "Seek and Destroy"!

 

Yes, politics is a big boy/girl game and yes, we are in a battle for ideas, and yes those that play the game expect to find the field competitive. That being said, where is the line that you don't cross?

 

As Nixon's 'Plumbers' were excoriated by the press, vilified by the public and convicted by the courts, wouldn't we expect the same for any like behavior today? Or, because we now live in a Post Modern Society, any thing, short of out right illegality is permissible? Oh wait: we now live in a nation were law breaker legislators can change the rule of law to suit their whim thus making any manner of actions legal or illegal.

 

So today we learn that the web site for the National Tax Day Tea Party  has been besieged by a "Denial of Service" (DoS) attack effectively shutting it down.  source

This has not only the chilling affect of stifling dissent, it is another salvo in the ongoing war between right and wrong,  good and evil, free market and communism. It is interesting to note that the attack were initiated form both domestic and foreign sources.

 

Without getting too geeky about this, suffice to say that a DoS attack is an attempt to make a computer resource unavailable for its intended users. While DoS attacks are a common part of an on going cyber war that include rouge regimes, terrorists and cyber criminals, the DoS attack on the conservative Tea Party site can only speak to effectiveness of the Anti Tax message. It should be mentioned that DoS Attacks are not only considered 'bad form' it is against the Internet Architecture Board "proper use" policy AND against laws of most individual nations. (Demonstrating once again that criminals, terrorists and bad guys don't obey the law.)

 

As, the political battle for the heart and soul of our country extends to the digital turf, we now have cyber- thugs working for "Dear Leader Reader" seeking to demoralize conservatives by employing an iniquitous strategy of lies, deception and disinformation in newsgroups, social media, blog sites, twitter streams and even the mainstream media. Source

 

Another popular ploy is to 'troll' news, blog and social media sites as a wolf in sheep's clothing, pretending to be a conservative all the while spewing the vilest of deceit cloaked in a supposed friendly voice. Or in actions even more heinous, trolling online groups actually suggesting sedition, rebellion or outright over through of the guv'ment all the while pretending to be a defender of liberty.

 

Now more than ever, it is prudent to find those sources that are "without wax" and even there - reader beware. For it is obvious "Hope and Change" really mean "Seek and Destroy". And, where we used to live in America the Beautiful, home of the brave, we are now being radically changed into America the Stained  home of the Socialist.   

Socialism and communism are the only way to utopia, right? The bigger the government, the better, right? The Big Lie started in 1917 when old Vlad Lenin got rid of the Russian Czar and family (and I mean GOT RID OF.)  He then set up the first socialist worker's paradise.  Of course that was after he shot all the teachers, lawyers and doctors (Hmm, come to think of it, that lawyer thing might not be a bad idea.  But I digress.)  So, let's see, we have had 92 years of evidence to prove how great socialism is. 

In 1991, after nine decades of playing to SRO crowds worldwide, socialism finally failed in the mother of all socialist countries, The USSR.  Lets' not forget the fact that under Papa Bear Josef Stalin, 40,000,000 of his fellow citizens were systematically starved to death, sent to Gulags where they died of every disease imaginable, or outright murdered in cold blood.  Yes friends, just another day for the socialist in charge.  But let's not let facts get in the way.

And how about that beautiful island called Cuba?  Yeah, everyone is beating down the doors to get into that socialist paradise right?  Maybe you should ask the 250,000 Cubans who fled there in the 70s on rafts, canoes, boats and anything that they could find that would float.  Or the folks who had the misfortune to disagree with those quirky Castro brothers.  Oops, can't do that--they're all dead.  Oh, but they do have health care for everyone.  Except I have to wonder why that Foxy Fidel had to fly in a doctor from Spain when he took ill?  I guess the Cuban docs who treat ordinary Cubans were all busy that day helping the proletariat.  Yeah, that's the ticket.

Now, now, let's not forget North Korea.  That shining star in the history of socialism.  Oh, how every country should have a Dear Leader like they do (sorry, I forgot, we do now!)  Maybe we could all have a per capita income of $706 like the commies up north do.  Unfortunately though, we would all be living in caves like Bin Laden.  But what the hell, at least we would all be equal in our misery. And isn't that what it's all about anyway-sharing the wealth?  I do have to wonder though if the braintrust in Washington will live like we do.  Of course they will.  They can feel our pain, right? 

Shame on those capitalist pigs in South Korea too.  Who do they think they are; those industrious slanted-eyed little yellow workers earning 13 times as much as their cousins up north.  A pox on them! 

Where have you gone Joey Stalin, our nation turns its outstretched arms to you, Boo hoo hoo (apologies to Paul Simon.)  Somehow, I'll bet he could fix those pesky South Koreans real quick.

The former president of Estonia (a former non-voluntary member of The Union of Soviet SOCIALIST Republics,), Matt Laar, made the following statement, quote: "In 1939 it was hard to find two more similar countries as Finland and Estonia. They are very similar in language, culture and living standards. Our economies were more or less the same. Then in 1940 Estonia was occupied by the Soviet Union and Finland successfully protected its independence.

So now what does it look like at the end of a 50-year period of communism in Estonia and relative freedom in Finland? Well, the countries were almost identical before one went communist. There are over 5 million people in Finland, now less than 2 million in Estonia. The average female in Finland lived almost five years longer. The average male in Finland lived more than seven years longer. Estonia's infant mortality rate was four times that of Finland. Finland's GDP was almost nine times that of Estonia. GDP per capita was three times as high in Finland. And in Estonia there were only 25 telephones for every 100 people, less than half the amount in Finland."

Now I know historical facts are hard for libs to get a handle on unless it's being taught in government schools, but since Estonia freed up their economy, it is now rated as the 12th most economically free country in the world. Since then they have averaged 6% GDP growth per year. That average is higher than our growth rates during the dot-com boom of the 1990s and is just blowing away our current economic condition. 

So the next time our leaders tell us that liberalism will save us (they will never call it socialism, that's too scary) point their noses at Estonia. Then point your middle finger at them.

Socialism has never worked anywhere.  But socialism will work here?

Just like a cancer, The Big Lie is alive and well and living among us.  It's time for chemotherapy.  If that doesn't work, we'll have to cut it out with a knife.

So when folks with experience chime in and say ; "you should NOT do that" I typically try and at the very least - listen!  Often, because of their familiarity with the subject, they can either reduce a steep learning curve or help avoid painful consequences from resultant actions. In this case, it's the latter.

 

And that's the way it is when Czechoslovakian Prime Minister and E. U. President Mirek Topolanek says, Obama plans are "a way to hell"!  So that we are clear: the  E.U. - is yes, that EU - the European Union.

 

Believe it or not, the President of the EU - the EU that is the beloved institution of the Mainstream Media and liberals everywhere - is cautioning the United States that Dear Leader's Reader's stimulus package and financial bailout "will undermine the stability of the global financial market."  Source

 

Now, when a leader of a former communist country suggests that certain socialized economic plan might not be the best way to go, we should listen and listen carefully. These former communist countries have "pushed down the tall grass" of socialism and found it wanting. In fact, they have clearly demonstrated to the world that collectivism fails - and fails every time it's tried. Yet, either due to ignorance, simple stupidity or extreme hubris our congressional leaders and POTUS TOTUS (teleprompter of the United States) seem to be destined to repeat their failed excursions into communalism (communism) , social engineering and "obligated fairness".

 

So,  a glimpse of Czechoslovakia's former Stalinization can be like a crystal ball for our future.  Here take peak and tell me where do you think we are now:

 

1. Purging of faith from society
2. Abolition of private ownership
3. Strong Centralized Government
4. Complete government control of education
5. Outlawing of dissident
6. Single party rule
7. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax
8. Centralization of credit in the banks of the state
9. Abolition of inheritance
10. Equal obligation of all to work -establishment of industrial or agricultural  armies

 

So what can you do today?

1. Participate in one of the National Tax Day Tea Parties to make your voices heard.
2. Contact your House of Representative's member
3. Contact your Senators
4. Contact "Dear Reader" 

 

 

In our country the revolution comes at the ballot box - be ready to vote these lying lawbreakers out of office or be prepared to initiate a ballot recall for those carrying the socialist banner.

 

We currently have the right for "redress of grievances", we should exercise it!

Journeying into the  moral abyss we go!

 

"In a government of laws, the existence of the government will be imperiled if it fails to observe the law scrupulously.  Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher.   For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example.  Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy."

 Olmstead v. United States, 277 U.S. 438, 469-471.

 

 

No bill of attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed.

U.S. Constitution Section 1, Article 9 clause 3

 

While much is being made of the AIG bonuses, the fact that as a percentage of their bailout ration it's statistically insignificant - something close to 900ths of 1 percent - nothing is being made of the real  significant event: that the House of Representatives  has violated their oath of office and the constitution by voting a 'bill of attainder' to impose a 90 percent tax on bonuses paid to recipients of federal bailout money. The main target: the $165 million paid to some 400 people at American International Group.

 

It is becoming obvious that our very own electors have traded our nation of laws, for a nation of political whims. Like treading quicksand, we as a nation are bound to sink into essence of avarice, where sloth is rewarded and the  pit fires of envy are stoke to feed the lust of overly proud politicians eager to gluttonize taxpayers.

 

Those voting for this AIG bonuses tax have violated the constitution and are at the very least criminals and most they are traitors. They should be treated as such.   Regrettably, they will be hailed as champions of the down trodden. But, make no mistake,  as we  as a nation learned what the "Meaning of is  - is", we too will learn from our government that crime is contagious. For if our very lawmakers are lawbreakers - then what of the rest of us!

(hat tip Carl Spatazza)

So early today, I get an email from a friend asking how to respond to a family member's email requesting support for free universal health care.

the email

 "Hi,
I sent the following short note to my US Congressman and both US Senators from [state of confusion].  I urge you to do the same.  Maybe we can get some action going. 

"Congressman [Leghorn Foghorn],
We need free and universal National health care.  It should be modeled after the plans that Britain and France use. "

 

And my reply went something like this:

 

Wow, it's always tough when a member of our own family is off the reservation and munching in - or mooching off - the neighbors garden.   And absent the fact that your kinsman probably hasn't spent much time receiving what passes for healthcare from our friends 'across the pond', I'll proffer this:

 

Free healthcare is neither free nor often care.

1. It's not free - somebody must pay
2. frequently  it's not even health care, rather it's a purgatorial place where people WAIT for the promise of care and to:
1. get better naturally
2. or die

 

If your kinsman had a faith based world view he might remember that both the Old and New Testaments suggest ways to handle the less fortunate and they are in this order:

1. Familiar Duty
2. Church Oversight
3. Personal Charity

 

No where, does it state in either the Old or New Testament that guv'ment or even César is empowered force compulsory charity on us for our neighbor or on our neighbor for us!  And, in fact in the New Testament, it plainly states 'that he who does not work should not eat'.

 

Absent a world view that includes faith, then your options are only 1 or 3 above.  

 

Unless of course, you believe that society owns you rather than you own you!

 

If you believe that society owns you, then it also owns your neighbor and therefore you both can be compelled to give up that which is yours for the greater good. On the other hand if you believe that you own yourself then it is amoral for society to indenture you for your neighbors benefit.

 

Ask your kinsman if he is moral man or an amoral man. For a man with morals he should be able to follow the tread above and see that it is not the guv'ments  charge nor it's original intent to provide FREE universal healthcare for one at the expense of another.

 

 If his an amoral man he should be frog marched into the public square to proclaim his intellectual and ethical infirmity to which he will no doubt be greeted as 'fellow traveler' by the dumb masses also demanding Universal Healthcare paid for by someone else!

Tugging at my 'heart TARP Strings' Like some "B" movie plot, I can just hear the dialog now:

 

Gangster: "We gave you the money, see"

 

Banker: " Yea;... but, we didn't want the money and we didn't ask for it"

 

Gangster: "Well, you took money - and now - you're gonna do what we say - see?"

 

 

As the Chi-town political thugs and fellow conspirators complete their beat-down mugging and final take over of rival "family business" - Congress; their enforcer 'Big Labor' is out front demanding that fellow wise guy T. Geithner  "muzzle the companies if they won't muzzle themselves"    Source

 

Reviewing

 

TARP is the Trouble Assets Relief Program, a Guv'ment program to help prop-up some of the failing financial institutions with tax payer monies.

 

Big Labor desperately wants to increase union membership. One certain way to do this is through 'Card Check' - the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA) as its also known.  Card Check, if passed, would allow the union to come to any business and establish a union with NO SECRET BALLOT.  All that has to be done is to get 50% of the employees plus one person to be 'persuaded' into signing a petition for the union and viola - the company is unionized!

 

Those two items are related in this way:

 

Big Labor Union bosses are pressuring their 'willing accomplice': Congress, to intimidate TARP recipient businesses by compelling silence on the Card Check legislation.

 

While topics for another discussion: -  the efficacy of big labor (E.G. Detroit auto makers) and the once sacrosanct right of all American's 'the secret Ballot';  - it's evidently clear that "Hope and Change" also stand for Extortion and Coercion.

 

This is a dark, dangerous, purgatorial place, where the interests of  Big Government and Big Labor intersect to collude and conspire against the all Americans via their ongoing War on Business.

 

For "The Business of America - is Business!" If you kill business - you kill America.

Cram Down?/! - whiskey tango foxtrox -over?

 

So what is Cram Down?

 

 It's real name is H.R. 1106: Helping Families Save Their Homes Act of 2009.

 

This bill as passed by the House of Representatives allows a Judge to modify the rights of claim holders with respect to a claim for a loan originated before the effective date of this Act and secured by a security interest in the debtor's principal residence that is the subject of a foreclosure notice.

 

In other words, a judge can change the terms of the contract.

 

Aside from the 'Moral Hazard' implied by  the idea that some in the 'entitlement class' are due a home for free, and ensuring that home prices will be higher, much higher for everyone else; Cram  Down screams:

 

The 'Rule of Law' is NO MORE!

 

And in its place is the arbitrary and capricious want of man.

 

In the United States of America the 'Rule of Law' exists no longer.

 

In our post modern culture, aside from removing God from the underpinnings of our society, destroying the rule of law will have the single most deleterious affect we've ever known.  For now, we are all cast into a legal underworld of vagaries where you are no longer bound by social mores, your own good word or even a legal contract. Instead, you are bound by whatever a judge decides.  

 

"Whatever", that vacuous anthem of apathy of the new po-mo generation will soon to visit some manner of fresh hell to us all as mechanism of business degenerate into a seething morass of confusion, legal confrontations and pitch battles over what was once clearly recognized as right and wrong! 

 

The harpies of hell get a 2fer: more social confusion and failing financial institutions too.

 

You see, a scheme where Guv'ment mandated risk, forces banks to loan to those who can't pay and obliges mortgage interest rate suppression where the banks make less on the loans that they can collect, is a recipe for failure. Oh and a certain guarantee that the Freddie Mac / Fannie Mae cycle of taxpayer theft continues thus indenturing more to the Plantation of the Welfare State.

Like the serpent tempting us with the promise of "the knowledge of good and evil", our Washington leaders hold out universal health care as the 'apple' for our current economic woes. But, as the apple brought ruin to paradise so too shall this. . .

 

This wicked seduction is wrapped in a premise so delicious that - once whispered it is nearly impossible to resist. It's the hot breath of avarice sighing to your heart that "you can live at the expense of someone else".

 

Universal Health Care as all the other 'enticements of entitlement' proffered by the state are just mere snares for the unwitting - to bind them to a darker purpose: the purpose of enslavement.

 

As our founders believed, I believe that our rights are granted to us NEITHER by government charter NOR by, the devious schemes of man.  Instead our rights are unalienable and granted to us by our Creator.

 

But, there are many who are purposefully perverting our natural God given rights into the false promise of something less. Rather than liberty they offer dependence, rather personal responsibility they offer blame, rather than the pursuit of happiness they offer empty diversion. Under the guise of fairness they offer injustice. For misery spread to all, is fair misery indeed.

 

America was not founded on the principals of covetousness, envy, hate or sloth; But, now there are many who would wantonly transform us to a society based on those deadly sins for their own purposes of:  acquiring, aggregating, keeping and expanding power.

Social Justice and the New American Dream...

 

As I riffed yesterday, from every direction, new code words are entering our main stream lexicon of speech and thought.

 

Some of these new words like - Social Justice are re-forged in the smithy of old Marxist ideas. They then appear in use by leftist fringe groups at the farther regions of society, and then gather standing in more accepted company. Once these code words get bubbled up into the zeitgeist of the neo-intelligentsia they are foisted onto an unsuspecting public by  journalist and news readers so eager for acceptance by the 'cool kids' that they regurgitate them without full understanding of their meaning or the implications of their consequences.

 

Like the great Ronaldus Maximus said :

"A Communist is someone who reads Marx and Engels

An Anticommunist is some who understands Marx and Engels."

 

Occasionally these code words bubble up in to social policy or even codified into law, either by a Conspiracy of Stupidity or by deliberate and shameless action by those who are hostile to our current - albeit tenuous - beloved republic.

 

In typical Orwellian newspeak fashion, the main purpose of these code words is to hide their true meaning behind something palatable to those listening in a 15 second sound bite. But Make no Mistake:

Social Justice in the current common vernacular means empowering the government to seize the assets of affluent Americans and distribute them to the less well off!

 

The next assault on America will come from within, by our own legislators seeking to radically transform America and our unique American Dream from the  freedom that allows all citizens and residents to pursue their goals in life through hard work and free choice - to government dependence, bureaucratic mandates and the pursuit of state goals. All this, in the name of fairness and social justice while attempting to guarantee the fairness of outcome rather than the equality opportunity!

 

The Communists are coming and their rapacious appetite for your hard earned fruits can not be not be slaked.  Be Ready.

I've been wondering what's really been 'going on'  for the last several months. especially since the election? Really been wondering, how could we've gone from "Hope and Change" to Communism and Confiscation  in so short a time?  Well it's not by accident.

 

 

Please take about 3 ½ minutes to watch the video

Lets review:

 

Using code words like shared sacrifice and social justice the far left is out to dramatically alter the American form of Government.

 

Social Justice means empowering the government to seize the assets of affluent Americans and distribute them to the less well off!

 

Shared Sacrifice means punitive taxation on high wage earners and corporations .

 

Service Employee International Union (SEIU), Soros, Pelosi are pushing for a radical change in the American Capitalistic System - which they feel is unjust!

 

Soros's animosity for American is well known. Now Soro's connection to the Madame Speaker is in the details. In 2007 Pelosi hired Soro's Open Society Institute Senior Policy Analyst Joseph Onek to be 'senior council to speaker of the house'! Yes that's right one of Soro's right hand men has become Pelosi's as well.

 

There is much nefarious activity afoot in our beloved republic! Sadly, we now are learning that the war on capitalism - and ipso facto - us, is being waged and directed from the highest levels of government.

 

Complicit in this stealth war on America is the SEIU or Services Employee Union. So Who are they and what do they want?

 

SEIU is the fastest-growing union in North America. Focused on uniting workers in three sectors:

·         The largest healthcare union, with more than 1.1 million members in the field, including nurses, LPNs, doctors, lab technicians, nursing home workers, and home care workers

·         The largest property services union, with 225,000 members in the building cleaning and security industries, including janitors, security officers, superintendents, maintenance workers, window cleaners, and doormen and women

·         The second largest public services union, with 850,000 local and state government workers, public school employees, bus drivers, and child care providers    source: http://www.seiu.org/our-union/index.php

What do they Want?

WHEREAS SEIU's Mission Statement provides that SEIU, a union of over 1.9 million [now over 2,000,000) members, is "united by the belief in the dignity and worth of workers and the services they provide and dedicated to improving the lives of workers and their families and creating a more just and humane society;"

SEIU constitution and bylaws are hidden on the site in PDF form available for download here http://www.seiu.org/a/ourunion/constitution-and-bylaws.php

Just a few highlights:

• Lifelong union membership - post retirement
• Comprehensive Immigration Reform with the stated aim of aiding and abetting illeal aliens become citizens and vote
• Defund war on terror shifting the billions now being spent on the war to strengthen our economy and meet the urgent needs of communities here at home.
• Use climate change as a war on capitalism by achieving new goals for contract negotiations and address climate change.
• Universal National Healthcare European style socialized medicine
• Resolved to make top priority Employee Free choice Act (card check) Removes secret ballot from union creation process
• SEIU members are called to act as catalysts for change in their communities
• commitment to valuing all families, and to protecting the widest possible range of family structures.
• Solidarity with Latin America (Hugo Chavez, Evo Morales)

SEIU dissatisfied with the American Dream, (on that has lifted more peoples in the world out of poverty than any other) and wants a NEW AMERICAN DREAM!

Building a New American Dream, by disassembling the old American Dream via  engaging in civic, political and educational activities on the local and national level, and cooperating with and assisting, by moral, monetary, or other means,

 

A few more tidits form the bylaws.

WHEREAS it is clear that to improve the lives of workers and their families and to create a more just and humane society, we must change the fundamental policy direction of the Executive and Legislative branches of the federal government as well as those of key state governments;

WHEREAS the mandate to Local Unions under Article XV, Section 18 of the SEIU Constitution is to contribute to an overall SEIU political education and action program that includes, but is not limited to, widespread voter registration, broad encouragement of civil participation and issue advocacy on key matters of vital concern ...

 

As a gentle reminder, just society or social justice is a code word for communism.  Source

 

Make no mistake about it, under the 'Trojan Horse' of Social Justice, the SEIU is activity working to take from you and your family, everything you have ever earned. If left unanswered, the America you and I grew up in will NO LONGER exist. And In it's place will be a rotting carcass welfare state slavery, with government bureaucrats as the new overseers .

 

If you are remotely interested in saving what's left of our beloved Republic and our entire economic system you will get engaged in the world around you.

 

You can start by organizing, planning, and making your voice heard by calls to your elected officials at all levels.

The War on Wealth continues, with a proposal for a GLOBAL New Deal.

 

Confiscating the baser nature of Roosevelt's depression era propaganda, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and our own Dear Leader collude on a ponzi scheme of global proportions to require public spending on a huge world-wide scale. Again under the seemingly benevolent call of Common Sacrifice, Brown and Obama are calling for "Universal Action to prevent the crisis from spreading"

Source

 

For those know their history, you might remember that FDR's 'New Deal' turned the US recession into a depression that lasted into World War II.

 

Really, the only thing that will actually stimulate the world wide economy, and this is true for our own as well, is to stop punishing job creators by LOWERING NOT RAISING tax rates.

Even those that subscribe to Keynesian economic theory understand when you want less of something - you tax it. Taxes are indeed a hindrance on every aspect of commerce and our lives. Moreover confiscatory taxes reward no-one but the bureaucrats and politicians who have done NOTHING to earn the money except to convince us that we need their interference in our day to day lives. And to ad salt to the wound they use the money that they confiscate from the working class to buy votes from the beggar class all in an effort to keep their derrieres in office and provide 'make work' for their minions.

 

I'm not an anarchist, we indeed do need limited government to provide for the common defense, ensure domestic tranquility  and secure the Blessing of Liberty . But, we sure don't need guv'ment to "make sure the trains run on time" build bridges to nowhere, protect a field mouse at the expense of the private property owner. And certainly, we DO NOT need that same inanity or insanity multiplied a hundred fold and spread globally at our own expense.

 

 

Fear mongering or Panic mongering today  is a carnival con and simply an attempt to use crisis to separate you from your money.

And so it begins, under the seemingly benevolent rallying cry of "Common Sacrifice" worthy of Orwell's "newspeak" we are all called to the laudable goal of "Saving our Republic" by the fallacious notion of "universal forfeiture".

 

What is less clear is how someone who may be forced to "sacrifice" and sacrifice big - under the obviously soon to be pending tax hikes, will be able to reconcile the fact that others have sacrificed nothing.

 

Moreover how does the notion of 'common sacrifice' work when you find that you have been required to give up 85, 90 or 95 percent of your  income - as many are now projecting - only to find that what you have been forced to sacrifice has actually been given to someone else? Not only are others not sacrificing they are being rewarded at your expense. You are punished, others are benefiting and you have the odious requirement to pay for that reward.

 

On the face of it, "Common Sacrifice" should be a system where everybody pays the same amount! So I propose that the sacrifice should be equal to the least amount that we all CAN pay. If we have some that can pay nothing, then ALL SHOULD PAY NOTHING.

 

Anything less is not common sacrifice, instead it is guv'ment sanctioned, legalized financial cannibalism where one group is allowed - nay, encouraged to prey upon another group.

 

The latest salvo in the War on Wealth has been launched by the socialists with the American Tax Payer as the target. In the inimitable words of the counterculture comix "The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers; "When the revolution comes, where, will you be?"

 

The question you must ask yourself is: "am I to be a target?"  Soon you will have to decide?
