Letter: Obama Is A Hard-Core Marxist

To the editor:

In less than three weeks Americans will elect the next President of the United States. Incredibly there are many voters who remain undecided. I suspect they are either turned off by the rhetoric and grand promises or they just aren’t decoding the language of President Obama. I hope this letter helps them.

When Obama speaks of "shared prosperity,” "economic justice,” your "fair share,” and "level playing fields" he is simply borrowing the euphemistic terms for the wealth confiscation and transfer objectives of socialism. If you don’t believe me, just read anything by Karl Marx.

When Obama says he is fighting for “equality” … he really means the utopian socialistic ideal of equal outcomes. When he derides the free market system of wealth creation (“You didn’t build that”) and wealth creators, he ignores the bloody and deadly footprint of socialism all over world history.

In Obama’s world, “investments” are bailouts and higher taxes, and “cuts” are spending increases … just smaller ones than he believes we ought to make. “Compassion” is government taking your money and giving it to someone else who is “entitled” to it. You will pay a lot more for his “free” health care. And Obama’s 2012 campaign slogan of “Forward” fondly looks backward to the mantras of Mao Tse Tung and Vladimir Lenin.

Obama has revealed himself for the hardcore Marxist he is and the direction he wants to take our country. My hope is the “undecideds” will choose freedom and liberty and vote instead for Mitt Romney.
