A Prediction Come True! The NYT Turns the Old Rusty Crank and Chooses an Old Rusty Crank for Their Primary Choice.

The Walter Duranty Papers has chosen: “As Democrats look ahead to the primaries in the biggest states on Feb. 5, The Times’ editorial board strongly recommends that they select Hillary Clinton as their nominee for the 2008 presidential election.”[1]

 Surprise surprise! Was this an easy prediction from my previous blog? Too easy.

“Article Conclusion: The obvious Marxist Choice is Hillary Clinton!! What else would the Times offer? Have they ever endorsed anyone who did not have impeccable Marxist credentials?” [2]

Was this the tipping point? The Chief Non-Economist of the Times has been grinding away on Reaganism for many years.

“Now progressives[3] have been granted a second chance to argue that Reaganism is fundamentally wrong: once again, the vast majority of Americans think that the country is on the wrong track. But they won’t be able to make that argument if their political leaders, whatever they meant to convey, seem to be saying that Reagan had it right.” [4]

The Times pretends to be objective and offer a reasonable critique of all ‘candidates’ that have survived the so-called ‘democratic process, ‘but all must narrowly confirm to at least the basic precepts of the far left. After all, what else would the Times be doing on this planet if not acting as a stooge platform to launch the most likely prospect to overturn the amazing political accomplishments of Ronald Reagan, our finest president ever?

 Senator Obama has been severely attacked by Slick Willie, the abrasive and vindictive Bimbo Banger and the person who managed in 1993 to give us the biggest tax increase in history according the Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan. [5]  Others [Leahy and Kerry] have chosen Obama according to various criteria [6] that had to do with something else than taxation. They will both vote for higher taxes.

Clinton’s leading pit bull, one James Carville once gave us a famous false tax-based  prediction of the New Jersey gubernatorial race as Florio (of asbestos fame) had increased taxes and Whitman offered a tax cut:

“In 1993, Clinton campaign strategist James Carville announced that the off-year governor's race in New Jersey between incumbent Democrat Jim Florio -- who had raised taxes in 1989 -- and his challenger Christine Todd Whitman -- who called for a 30 percent across-the-board income-tax cut -- would be the burial ground of Republican advocacy of tax reduction.” [7]

The good citizens of New Jersey now face bankruptcy from the wild spending of Democrats after Whitman left and now want to hike turnpike tolls:

“Gov. Jon Corzine wants to shore up his state’s troubled finances by sharply raising tolls. If he gets his way, the cost of driving most of the turnpike could eventually rise from $5.85 to $48, providing money for both debt reduction and public transportation.” [8]

Is this the burial ground of leftist advocacy of tax increases? Let us watch and see. California may win the race to that prize before Hillary is inaugurated. Gratuitous taxes like this NJ wreckage will only hurt business in the Garden State.

This financial latrine in New Jersey is mirrored in California and many other ‘progressive’ states where spending is out of control. Pennsylvania may reward their governor, who recently endorsed Hillary, with some retribution at the polls if they can. They are currently being tantalized by the phony notion that gambling proceeds can reduce property taxes. As if any far leftist would return money to the tax payers! How silly of them.

The Times offers their reasoning:

“Domestically, Mrs. Clinton has tackled complex policy issues, sometimes failing. She has shown a willingness to learn and change. Her current proposals on health insurance reflect a clear shift from her first, famously disastrous foray into the issue. She has learned that powerful interests cannot simply be left out of the meetings. She understands that all Americans must be covered — but must be allowed to choose their coverage, including keeping their current plans. Mr. Obama may also be capable of tackling such issues, but we have not yet seen it. Voters have to judge candidates not just on the promise they hold, but also on the here and now.”

This is all some kind of revisionism that is related to the biggest attempt to hike taxes in the world: Hillary Care. The phony objective tome of the Times in this ‘analysis’ here disguises the fact that this is just more taxes, lower quality and a huge increase in government.

Then a little chiding:

“As strongly as we back her candidacy, we urge Mrs. Clinton to take the lead in changing the tone of the campaign. It is not good for the country, the Democratic Party or for Mrs. Clinton, who is often tagged as divisive, in part because of bitter feeling about her husband’s administration and the so-called permanent campaign. (Indeed, Bill Clinton’s overheated comments are feeding those resentments, and could do long-term damage to her candidacy if he continues this way.)” [9]

Oh, be a Nice Hillary and snug up Billy’s leash a bit.  Don’t be and old rusty crank. Polish off the corrosion, get a new face lift, muzzle Billy for a while and work your veiled racism against Obama so you can grab the Oval Office. Let us see if Bill heeds the advice of the Times.

We have to ignore most of this fluff and stale propaganda as the Times has never produced an objective piece of opinion fluff in many decades. The point here is that Hillary is an anti-anti-communist [a double negative that has an obvious definition given her reference for Saul Alinsky) and Obama’s acknowledgement that the Reagan Era produced economic results is heresy. How could he say that!

The central issue here is massive government and control of capitalism and Hillary sings the elegant left songs. The Times does not condemn Corzine or other progressive lackeys who have brought their state and city economies to the precipice of bankruptcy, but always offers and finds new ways to support any tax increase and increase in government that might offer a political solution.  We will soon hear that California and New Jersey deserve a federal bailout. That is called being progressive.

And, if the outcome of a Hillary Administration would be appeasement to Islamo-Fascists, given the politically successful North Korean Model, which was wonderful. Cure our foreign problems by spreading around some US tax money with our sincere apologies.  Higher debt added to the incorporation of some 15 million illegal aliens to the voter rolls would prompt the Times to brag that they have participated in the biggest destruction of a capitalist society since Rome was sacked.

Be prepared for higher and higher taxes, bigger and bigger government and unbearable debt. Those are the ingredients that can destroy capitalism, which is the objective of the Times and their Marxist sycophants.

All the leftists have is a chance to grunt and grab your money and Hillary gives them a good prospect to do this.

A Hillary win then challenges the Republicans to not bungle the inevitable backlash from tax payers and home owners and SUV operators in 2012. Rush Limbaugh and Tom Delay have spoken on this possibility for years. We saw backlashes against Jimmy Carter for his sensational malaise, appeasement of Communists and Iranian mullahs and his remarkable double digit inflation.  We saw the 1993 Tax Backlash against Hillary and Bill where the Republicans wrested control of Congress from the 40-year old grasp of the liberals. The inflation backlash is one of the very few political laws in existence that is eventually enforced by the citizens who force a violent change in government [sooner or later] as we saw in Europe and here for many decades. Hillary’s wild spending plans, somewhere around 800 billion dollars, cannot be accommodated with  her phony notions of a balance d budget, massive socialized medicine and the sticky, emotional embrace of Al Gore’s Global Warming.

We now head for an achievable financial disaster where Hillary and the Marxist Times, in concert, are capable of wiping out the value of the homes and businesses of our citizens in a few years and create an environmentally friendly state such as Cuba with its fine health care system. The Cubans love their leader as much as the starving North Koreans love Dearest Kim and we should not be selfish and whine when our wealth is redistributed in the spirit of Communism. Marx would be proud. The illegal aliens, soon to be made the recipients of new affirmative action statutes already love Hillary.

We have time to adjust our 401(k)s and other investments to function in an economy of high taxes, hyper inflation and oppressive government controls. By August, we will know if we need to bail out of equities and shift our businesses overseas. Corporations currently face the second highest tax rate in the world and Hillary plans to raise those taxes as high as she can. Jobs will be lost to other places where oppressive corporate taxes are absent. Prices will soar and the unemployment rates will soar.

None of these financial disasters would stray far from the acceptable political designs of the Times. They welcome another Great Depression. That was the greatest leftist event since the October Revolution.

Think about this and be prepared.
