Kill All Kulaks

I love this. Obama criticized McCain’s acceptance speech because he (McCain) ignored “the struggles of the middle class.” This is funny, coming from a guy, and from a party, that has been dedicated, for well-nigh 80 years, to the extermination of the middle class as an economic, social, political, and -- yes -- moral influence in this country. The collectivist/liberal/Democratic ideal, as expressed time and time again in their policies, is to return to what is basically a Medieval (or Soviet, for that matter) model of society, i.e. a ruling elite (them) and a servile underclass consisting of peasants (the rural poor) and workers (the urban poor), with no one in between. This would, of course, represent the final stage of their relentless campaign for totalitarian power. As it is, the middle class is the only thing standing in their way, and many of them have, in fact, been co-opted by bad ideas, “white guilt”, and their academic training. It can be truly said that the American middle class is complicit in its own destruction, and that when it finally disappears it will have no one to blame but itself. But even so, it’s a bit irritating to see someone like Obama, who would just love to march all the “bourgeoisie” off to concentration camps for “re-education”, claim to have middle-class interests at heart.
