Obama's Radical Liberal Socialist Agenda Revealed
Is this his horrible liberal socialist agenda laid bare?
To find out what left-wing radical wrote this socialist manifesto, read Comments below.
“The legitimate object of Government is to do for a community of people whatever they need to have done but cannot do at all, or cannot so well do, for themselves in their separate and individual capacities. But in all that people can individually do as well for themselves, Government ought NOT to interfere."
“In all those things which deal with people, be liberal, be human. In all those things which deal with people’s money, or their economy, or their form of government, be conservative."
“The purpose … is to establish and maintain a peaceful world and build at home a dynamic prosperity in which every citizen fairly shares. We shall ever build anew, that our children and their children, without distinction because of race, creed or color, may know the blessings of our free land."
“We believe that basic to governmental integrity are unimpeachable ethical standards and irreproachable personal conduct by all people in government. We shall continue our insistence on honesty as an indispensable requirement of public service. We shall continue to root out corruption whenever and wherever it appears."
“We are proud of and shall continue our far-reaching and sound advances in matters of basic human needs—expansion of social security—broadened coverage in unemployment insurance —improved housing—and better health protection for all our people. We are determined that our government remain warmly responsive to the urgent social and economic problems of our people."

The Tattlesnake – A Stake Deep in the Heart of GOP Texas Edition
Judging by this, Lone Star state Republicans may have much to fear in the future.
I've made plenty of fun of Texas and that breed of Texan that keeps electing crooks and nitwits like Tom DeLay and Junior-clone Rick Perry against their own best interests, but it seems things have gotten bad enough down there that even Houston, the nexus of Bush Oil Country, has elected a lesbian Democrat, former City Controller Annise Parker, as Mayor rather than face a corrupt and/or dumb Republican. (Albeit that Houston has been trending Dem for some years and the last mayor was a Democrat.) Although Parker has some past ties to the energy industry, her most recent non-political gig was running a bookstore and she is regarded as fairly liberal, at least by Texas standards.
It's no secret the GOP has raped the state from one end to the other, giving massive tax breaks to the wealthy and corporations while cutting social safety-net programs to the bone, eviscerating the educational system, and putting workers at the mercy of employers – it was the neocon corporatist blueprint for what King Junior tried to do in Washington, but didn't quite succeed at entirely. Now that the economy has gone all to hell, fed-up Texans are worse off than most of the nation, and they have no one to blame but the laissez-faire policies of the Republican Party.
Sure, the voting machines have been rigged and districts redrawn to keep the GOP in perpetual power, but even that may not be enough to underwrite the Republican Party's future in Texas.
The Tattler's prediction: Within ten years all the major state offices will be held by Democrats, as well as the two US Senate seats. Texas was, at one time, a populist state; I think it will be returning to those roots – who knows, maybe the great Jim Hightower will end up in office again, if he can stomach the campaigning.
"Anti-gay activists and conservative religious groups" couldn't defeat an openly gay woman in TEXAS?! Oh, yes, the doom come soon for the GOP.

Houston biggest US city to elect openly gay mayor
Monica Rhor, AP Writer
December 13, 2009
HOUSTON – Houston became the largest U.S. city to elect an openly gay mayor, with voters handing a solid victory to City Controller Annise Parker after a hotly contested runoff. [...]
Parker, 53, has never made a secret or an issue of her sexual orientation. But it became the focus of the race after anti-gay activists and conservative religious groups endorsed Locke and sent out mailers condemning Parker's "homosexual behavior."
Read the rest here.

You Might Be a Neocon If...
With a hat tip to Jeff Foxworthy, it's time to play:
You Might Be a Neocon If...
... you believe Bush and Cheney are moral men with your best interests at heart.
... you believe Bush's press secretary Dana Perino (or any Bush press secretary in the past) is actually telling you the unvarnished truth.
... you don't want to pay a dime for national health care, yet expect a taxpayer-funded emergency room to treat you immediately after you've had an accident.
... you think Bush is right even when he's proven wrong, again and again.
... you think Karl Rove is a great historian.
... you think there actually is a War on Christmas outside of Bill O'Reilly's head.
... you think Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 911" is a pack of lies from start to finish, yet you've never seen it and have vowed you never will.
... you've ever rendered a strong opinion on ANY book, magazine article, website, film, TV show or play you've never actually read or seen.
... you think waterboarding is a new sport for teenagers.
... you think any government program that helps ordinary people is horrible socialism, but when our tax money is spent to pay contractors for shoddy work and overcharges, that's free market capitalism at work.
... you think questions surrounding the events of 9/11 are ridiculous, but firmly believe that the Clintons had something to do with the death of Vince Foster.
... you think Bush ignoring the August 6, 2001 CIA brief entitled "Bin Laden Determined to Strike in United States" was understandable, since he was on vacation.
... you think Rudy Giuliani is a hero for making a few speeches and posing for some photo-ops after the 9/11 attack.
... you think Osama bin Laden is a lying terrorist sack of crap, yet he was telling the truth when said he wanted John Kerry as president in 2004, right before Election Day.
... you think every problem America has can be traced to liberals and/or Democrats.
... you've ever called anyone a 'pinko' or 'commie,' especially someone who demonstrably isn't either.
...you don't know the difference between socialism and communism and you don't really care either.
... you think a) Saddam Hussein had WMD and hid them somewhere outside of the country right before the US invaded, or b) you think we found WMD in Iraq.
... you think the torturing of prisoners at Abu Ghraib was no worse than a fraternity initiation.
... you think former CIA covert agent Valerie Plame 'deserved' to be outed because her husband is a 'traitor' who revealed the truth about Bush's phony claims that Iraq tried to buy Niger uranium.
... you think junkies should spend long sentences in jail but Rush Limbaugh should be forgiven for his human frailty.
... you think Ann Coulter is hilariously funny.
... you think talk show blabber Dennis Prager is either a religious expert, conservative intellectual, political philosopher, entirely sane, or all four.-- you are a Christian who experiences temporary blindness whenever you read the Sermon on the Mount.
... you think every word in the Bible was written by God in English, even the letters to the Greeks by Paul.
... you are waiting for Armageddon and believe you will be taken up into heaven during 'The Rapture,' even though you lie to your customers, sell products that are made by slave labor overseas, or own a private mercenary company that murders people in other countries.
... you think individual people need strong laws and strict enforcement to keep them in line, but corporations should be able to make their own rules without government interference.
... you think no-bid contracts are a smart way for the government to do business.
... you think Rudy Giuliani or Mitt Romney are 'good Christian men.'
... you think Richard Nixon was brought down by the 'liberal media.'
... you think 'habeas corpus' has something to do with hamsters, so what's the big deal?
... you hate the theory of evolution even though you've never read it.
... you've ever read a rant by Michelle Malkin without laughing out loud at its sheer rancorous stupidity.
... you think Charles Krauthammer is sane.
... you think Norman Podhoretz should be the Secretary of Defense.
... you can't find anything that Don Rumsfeld did wrong as Secretary of Defense.
... you watch "24" and believe if we only had a guy like the fictional Jack Bauer in charge of our intelligence operations, we could lick the terrorists in a month or two.
... you are a self-hating closeted gay male politician.
