Must we “know the enemy” or is it enough for those elites in the know to go through their motions and machinations, while mushroom managing the Sovereign American People?  Apparently, most “conservative” members of Congress think it is just okay for us all to be kept in the dark and fed manure, at least those politicos who are not too fungous, themselves, to see.

Very exceptional is the former combat officer of Florida, who seems to think it important to give his superiors the actionable intelligence we need, in order to make our ultimate decisions — in measured doses, at least.  By last weekend, he even went as far as using a word with which most readers in Big Government are already familiar in the identification of Barack Obama: Marxist.

Gasp, choke, a milestone in Congressional honesty was reached.

Despite the media and the self hobbled bourgeoisie-nice GOP, many mere voting Citizens were confronted with this nasty fact back in 2008, as may be recalled by two favorite pages of mine: 1 – 2.

And as we recall, Representatives Broun in November of 2008 and Bachmann in March of 2009, pronounced the words, “Marxist” and “Marxism,” respectively, in describing BHO, his ideology, and his objectives.  They were then compelled by someone(s),  possibly then minority leader John Boehner, or we might say, “the powers that be,” to recant and apologize.

Then, an unapologetic Rep. Steve King laid it on the line on August of 2010 and got the third degree from NBC fat-cat and self-described socialist (i.e., entrepreneurially subversive Marxist propagandist) Lawrence O’Donnell.  Note that O’Donnell was also eager to drown out the charge of Marxism by focusing on the other M-word used by King.  (And yes Larry, B.O. also has an expressed affinity with “my Muslim faith” and is cordial with Islamists, just a demonstrable fact).  But King’s was just a one-on-one conversation before or after a town hall meeting, caught on mic.

From his track record, one would hardly expect Lieutenant Colonel West to apologize either.  To review West’s words last Sunday, July 17th:

The President’s concern is about getting reelected. The President’s concern is that he is an intransigent, liberal, progressive socialist who is also Marxist because of the class warfare rhetoric that he espouses. And I think that when you heard him on Friday and the more he comes out and talks, the more truly out of touch and incompetent he seems.

He has a vision for this country that is anathema to the vision of the founding fathers and our belief in individual responsibility and accountability and our free enterprise system.

Ohmygoodness, what could become of this?

Huh.  Colleague and battle hardened blogger, Terresa Monroe-Hamilton of Noisy Room wrote, “I love, love this man and would vote for him in a heartbeat!”  Me too, Terresa.  Me too.

And what a coincidence this was so soon followed by the House floor attack from Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, during and on the surface pertaining to the budget debate.

Now, will anyone else be so bold?  Rep. Joe Walsh of Illinois may be ready, by a couple of his latest media expressions: 1 – 2.

Conservatives in Congress must get well beyond this point and do so immediately.  The saturation level of intently subversive neo-Marxists into positions of power, money, and other influence is much higher than it was in the mid 20th Century, when this caused a legitimate “red scare.”

But the truth is the globalist, Marxist/fascist agenda has seeped into the upper echelons of the GOP in addition to sopping out the Democratic Party, or we would not have Republican “thought leaders” in the Aspen Institute, Council on Foreign Relations, Club of Rome, Trilateral Commission, etc.  Nor would they be happy to cede Congressional responsibility to the United Nations, NATO, the Federal Reserve, and the International Monetary Fund.  Even allowing the president the unconstitutional usurpation of warfare by executive fiat is fine with many in the still Rockefeller-tainted GOP.

If Republicans were not so corrupted, Bush administrations would not have endorsed Agenda 21, nor North American Integration.  These are all definitively orchestrated efforts of the “communitarian” movement of transnational progressives.  (Whispered: that is  to say, globalist-Marxist/fascist, “enlightenment” types — kind of like, well I dare not use that I-word, dare I?)

Is Allen West’s pronouncement bold?  Here is bold.  Here is what Maurice Strong, the father of Agenda-21 and ICLEI proclaimed, shortly before his Bush-I endorsed 1992 UN Earth Summit in Rio: “Isn’t the only hope for this planet that the industrialized civilization collapse?  Isn’t it our responsibility to bring that about?”

And of course it was the president America elected in 2008 who boasted he would make energy prices skyrocket, tiptoed well away as Bush-II’s Hank Paulson did his TARP trick, then just before his election, quoted Chairman Mao and proclaimed he would set about “fundamentally transforming the United States of America.”  How about that bipartisanship?

But that is bold!  Rev. Wright would even call it audacity.

And what are we hearing from anyone in Congress about the progressive regress of Agenda-21, currently infesting America from coast to coast in societal degeneration organized soviet-style?  What concerted challenges are being issued, by investigation, legislation, or the courts, to Obama’s Chavez-styled executive orders, for an Agenda-21 Rural Council and for other travesties?

Who should be apologizing, Speaker Boehner?

"...I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic..."

Let us get beyond labeling Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. as the neo-Marxist he is and apply the sword of truth telling betwixt authentic America and the “transnational…” and “communitarian…” neo-Marxism so softly rampant in all our fundamental institutions: education, finance, entertainment, the press, philanthropy, even our churches — and even the GOP.

Last century, there were numerous, productive Congressional investigations into these matters, the most famous of which was called the “House Committee on Un-American Activities.”  If that were to be done again (and something like it must be) perhaps they should get their own digs in order and begin with a Committee on Un-American House Activities.  They could interview all four-hundred thirty five, from Pelosi and Boehner, on down (and their little staffs, too) to make it fair.  Marxists are all about the fairness, right?  The Senate could do the same and compete for headlines.

Why not?  Are they afraid we will find the Soft War waged against us?  Or, what name would they prefer to give it?  The War Not in Any of the Papers?  The War Inside our Door?

In any case, Representatives Broun, Bachmann, King, Walsh, and West: please hasten the arc of progress, from mincing words to calling for a House Committee on Anti-American Insurrection. That is what it is, after all.  Sure, and what is that one guy’s name?  Issa?

Marxists have long promised it will be America’s domestic enmity that will “bury” us.  Overall, what are we hearing from conservatives about it all — or just what is being left to conserve?

Now Missouri Congressman Billy Long has gone on the record with one of his constituents about why he wanted to continue funding a bill that doesn’t actually help the black farmers that it was designed to aid in the first place.

Here’s what he said in a recent letter…

Thank you for contacting me regarding Roll Call Vote number 444, which addressed the Pigford discrimination case at the United States Department of Agriculture; I appreciate hearing from you.

As you know, the amendment offered by Congressman Steve King (R-IA) would have prohibited funding for payments relating to the final settlement of claims from the Black Farmers Discrimination Litigation, also known as the Pigford case.  I voted against this amendment, along with several other Republicans, because stopping payments could increase the risk for additional litigation.  I firmly believe I must take every step I can to curb costly litigation, which hurts businesses and job creation in this country.  I also believe I must take every step to slow out-of-control government spending at every turn.

A fear of “additional litigation” is a horrible reason to support Pigford. In fact, one of the main reasons that it’s important to stop Pigford II as soon as possible is because of the additional litigation that it supports.

The mastermind behind Pigford is attorney Al Pires. (If you aren’t familiar with Mr. Pires, please watch this video of Pires and Andrew Breitbart mixing it up on the John Stossel show a couple of months ago.) Around a decade ago when the settlement was first getting underway, Pires described Pigford as a template for other similar legislation  – not surprisingly, that’s exactly what it’s turned out to be with new settlements underway for women, Hispanic, Latinos and Native American farmers. All of these settlements have the same low barrier to entry that caused the fraud in Pigford, namely the use of the “attempted to farm” standard that requires almost no proof in order to receive a settlement check.

Furthermore, there is reason to believe that the current Pigford settlement will have to be expanded into a Pigford III.

The original Pigford case was a period of discrimination from 1981 to 1996. The other settlements for women, Hispanic, Latino Native Americans all cover the period of discrimination from 1981 and 2000 but ominously, the recent civil rights report created by the USDA concluded that discrimination still exists at the agency. So the notion of new litigation that extends the period to 2008 or beyond is entirely possible.

It’s widely acknowledged that discrimination the USDA existed, particularly at the county committee level. Ten years down the road, the Pigford legislation hasn’t stopped that discrimination nor has it helped many of the actual farmers who were affected by it. Instead, what it’s done has provided a backdoor stimulus package to key Democratic Party constituencies while letting some Republicans avoid being called racist, sexist and farmerphobic.

The very notion that such a flawed settlement should continue to go forward in order to stop other legislation is as nutty as harvest time in Plains, Georgia — that’somehow that’s Congressman Billy Long and a number of other Republicans seem to believe,.

Please let your local congressman  know that “additional legislation” is exactly why Pigford needs to be stopped.

I mentioned in a previous post that Allen West had voted no on Rep. Steve King’s amendment to stop Pigford funding. This vote struck me as strange because of Rep. West’s reputation as an opponent of wasteful spending.

Talk show host David Webb asked West about his vote today and Rep. West seems to feel that he made an error in his vote. I watched the ‘lightning round’ of forty (40!) or so amendments live on C-SPAN and I can see where an honest error is certainly possible. I accept his explanation and appreciate his straightforward answer.

But listen to what Rep. West as soon as Webb asks him about Pigford – he says he’s answered the question about his Pigford many times. And THAT is the sound of the tide turning. Pigford is clearly getting onto people’s radar, thanks to you. If you haven’t done so, please sign the Pigford Petition.

And blogger The Right Scoop  has another example of West answering a Pigford question.

Here’s Rep. West explanation from his newsletter:

FY 2012 Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations – On Thursday, June 16, the House approved H.R. 2112 by a vote of 217-203, I voted YES. The bill would provide a total of $17.25 billion in non-emergency, discretionary budget authority in FY 2012 for government programs funded through the Agriculture and Rural Development Appropriations Act. The bill would represent a decrease of $2.67 billion or 13 percent below the FY 2011 funding level and a reduction of $5.03 billion or 22 percent below the President’s request. H.R. 2112 meets and surpasses House Republican’s pledge by bringing discretionary budget authority for Agriculture and related agencies down to nearly FY 2006 spending levels.

There were some 40 amendments to this piece of legislation and there are those who questioned my NO vote on Rep. Steve King’s amendment on Pigford. I accept full responsibility for not doing a complete due diligence and personal research on this amendment. I am mortal and a fallible human being who seeks to do his best daily, and improve as such.”

That’s because the U.S. Supreme Court denied an ACORN appeal, effectively ruling that Congress was absolutely entitled to cut off federal taxpayer funding of ACORN. Earlier today the high court denied the petition for certiorari in ACORN et al. v. United States (docket 10-1068) without comment.

The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now had asked the high court to review a decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit which found that the funding cutoff enacted in 2009 was not a “bill of attainder” forbidden by the Constitution. ACORN had advanced the novel, nonsensical argument that Congress had no power to stop funding the group unless it could prove it had done something wrong.

As I write in my new book Subversion Inc.: How Obama’s ACORN Red Shirts are Still Terrorizing and Ripping Off American Taxpayers, the ACORN network has taken in an astounding $79 million in federal funding, not just the $53 million figure previously reported.

At least 54 individuals associated with ACORN have been convicted of voter fraud. ACORN itself was convicted of felony voter registration fraud in Nevada in April, the book reports.

ACORN became well known nationwide in 2009 for its advocacy of brothels for pedophiles. Hannah Giles and James O’Keefe caught the group on undercover video offering advice on tax fraud and on importing underage illegal alien sex slaves from El Salvador.

Not surprisingly, a chorus of left-wingers has arisen to defend ACORN, making the argument that ACORN was somehow victimized by Breitbart and company. Among these useful idiots are Eric Alterman and Katrina vanden Heuvel of the Nation, Eric Boehlert of George Soros’s character assassination factory Media Matters for America, Joe Conason of Salon, Adam Serwer of the American Prospect, and terrorist-linked blogger Brad Friedman.

We haven’t heard the last of ACORN.

I wrote Subversion Inc. because America needs to know that ACORN is restructuring in time to help re-elect President Obama in 2012. Obama worked for ACORN as a trainer and represented the group in court as its lawyer. These radical leftists who use the brutal, in-your-face, Machiavellian pressure tactics of Saul Alinsky want to destroy America as we know it and will use any means to do it.

Breitbart, Giles, Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-Minnesota), Congressman Steve King (R-Iowa), Professor John Tierney of the Institute of World Politics, conservative leader Richard Viguerie, David Horowitz, Jason Mattera, and G. Gordon Liddy have endorsed the book.

Said Breitbart,

For too long the institutional left has been allowed to operate under cover of darkness because the Democrat-media complex refuses to hold them accountable. But these radicals who have been sticking it to Americans for decades scatter like cockroaches under the harsh spotlight of Matthew Vadum’s great new book, Subversion Inc.

A short expose about “Dr.” John Boyd, one of the people behind Pigford II – you’ve got to see this to believe it:

A rough cut of the opening of the documentary Pigford Blues : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkvvgujs40E

“In the 2008 Farm Bill, Congress limited taxpayers’ exposure to the Pigford II settlement program at $100 million, a figure that was deemed sufficient to resolve the racial discrimination claims leveled against the United States Department of Agriculture by black farmers,” said King. “Since that time, a lame-duck Democratic Congress agreed to President Obama’s request to pump an additional $1.15 billion into the Pigford II settlement program, doing so even though the program is rife with credible allegations of massive fraud that have not been fully investigated. This was an irresponsible act, and it violated Congress’s responsibility to be good stewards of taxpayers’ money.”

“The new majority in the House of Representatives should not ratify the lame-duck Congress’s decision to increase American taxpayers’ exposure to Pigford II fraud. I believe that an investigation into the program will reveal that the majority of the claims that have been filed are fraudulent, and Congress should not turn a blind eye to the real possibility that the money is being used primarily to build political goodwill for the President instead of being used to properly redress the much smaller universe of people who have actually suffered harm. If passed, my amendment would put the brakes on Pigford II funding, and it would prevent the Secretary of Agriculture from paying fraudulent claims one $50,000 check at a time.”
