So much for Hope.
How about his Green Czar Mr. Van Jones - admitted radical and communist.
His own words.
While he was in jail
“I met all these young radical people of color — I mean really radical, communists and anarchists. And it was, like, ‘This is what I need to be a part of.’” Although he already had a plane ticket, he decided to stay in San Francisco. “I spent the next ten years of my life working with a lot of those people I met in jail, trying to be a revolutionary.” In the months that followed, he let go of any lingering thoughts that he might fit in with the status quo. “I was a rowdy nationalist on April 28th, and then the verdicts came down on April 29th,” he said. “By August, I was a communist.”
This is a little off topic but interesting. Jones describes himself as wanting to be a revolutionary..
Funny thing is, when you join the armed forces they make you testify under oath that you have never belonged to any organizations dedicated to the overthrow of the US government. Can it really be so that the same testimony isn't required for one to serve in the Executive Cabinet?

It's is so grossly in your face, this is incredible.....talk about conflict of interests and corruption.
The whole system is rotten to the core. It has to be dismantled completely.

I also just came across this information ... I'm honestly not sure how I missed it.
It is things like this that truly baffle me about the Obama administration. I'm an Obama supporter, but the string of events as of late have really begun to disenfranchise me. There is no way a sane person would appoint Michael Taylor to this position. I wonder if he made any statements about this appointment. I'm going to do a quick search.
So, the two opposing philosophies in our Government, one that Government should have a deeper role in economy and social issues, and the other that business should be allowed to regulate itself and profit free from taxes and Government oversight, break down at the most fundamental level.
The GOP's stance will simply create super-corporations with absolutely no leashes. They hide behind the "punishing success" rhetoric, and "big government" rhetoric, but what they always leave out is that they want extremely important aspects of your life, like food, education, safety, defense, and transportation to be run for profit completely behind closed doors by the biggest businesses in the world. "The Government should stay out of it ..."
Hasn't it ever occurred to you (GOP / GOP's Base) that this approach will make their job, making profits, infinitely easier if there is no watchdog, or no faculty to be a watchdog? At least with the Demo/Liberal/Progressive's approach they have to go through the trouble of infiltrating and corrupting the government to get their dirty-work done ... It's an extra layer. There exists the faculty to kick them out and expose them.
It doesn't happen, of course, but at least with that approach there is a possibility that it could and hopefully will.
Some of the people who put so much effort, and time, into some of the fringe and deep conspiracies would really benefit by focusing on some of the real, tangible issues that are not hidden, and not fringe, and can be addressed by the public - like big Agriculture. The situation is dire, and I hate to break it to you, but less taxes on these corporations, and less regulations can only make it much, much worse!
So much focus on ATS is how to keep "big government down" but we already have a business sector that is WAY too big and WAY too powerful.

The big business sector, ie. the banks and the corporations run the government, any idea that there is a democracy and a government protecting the interests of the people is pure BS.
