Obama - Bigger than Jesus?

The Danish newspaper Politiken dares to write what millions of people clearly believe, that Barack Obama is greater than Jesus Christ.

This is nothing new.  Remember that Newsweek magazine said Obama is “sort of God.”  It's tempting to just laugh at such lunacy, but this is deadly serious.  As our society declines, loony lefties are setting up a new “golden calf” to worship.  What today seems a voice from the lunatic fringe may someday become socialist orthodoxy.

those Nast-y Democrats

A commenter on my "Democrat Corruption has turned Capitol Hill into Tammany Hill" article posted this clever cartoon as a comment to my article as posted at Redstate:  You can see the faces of Pelosi and Reid and Obama and other Democrats in this updated version of the famous Thomas Nast cartoon from the 1870s.  Even back then, Democrat Corruption was out of control.

Democrat corruption has turned Capitol Hill into Tammany Hill

Tammany Hall, now a metaphor for Democrat corruption, began as a real place.  It was a building, in fact, the headquarters of the New York Democratic Party.  During the 19th century and early 20th centuries, Tammany Hall was the foremost center of power and financing in the Democratic Party nationwide.

The origins of Tammany Hall date back to the 1790s as a fraternal organization, The Society of St. Tammany.  No, there was never a real Saint Tammany.  Anyway, along came one of the archvillians of American history, Aaron Burr.  Senator Burr took over the society and made it a political organization, which evolved over time into a pillar of the Democratic Party.

In the late 19th century, Tammany Hall, aka the New York City Democratic Party, stole staggering amounts of taxpayer money – billions of dollars in today's money.

The head honcho of Tammany Hall was William “Boss” Tweed, a former Democrat congressman.  In addition to larceny, Boss Tweed's Democrat gangsters also excelled in vote fraud.

Tammany Hall faded in the 1930s as it lost its reason for existence.  With the New Deal, why should the Democrat leadership have a stand-alone organization devoted to shifting money from the government to their own coffers when the federal government could do it for them?  It was at this point that the Democratic Party became the Party of Government.

Now, seven decades later, the Democrat leadership, indeed all Democrats in Congress who vote for the stimulus package and socialized medicine and all the payoffs of Obama's agenda do so knowing full well they are shovelling billions of dollars from taxpayers to their own coffers.  They're all Boss Tweed now.

By the way, Boss Tweed died in prison.

It Can't Happen Here

In 1935, Sinclair Lewis wrote a novel that envisioned a political tragedy akin to the Obama presidency.  It Can't Happen Here is the story of Berzelius Windrip, a charming, charismatic demagogue who, in the midst of an economic crisis, is elected president by promising lots of free goodies for everyone.  Once in power, he ruins the economy, neutralizes Congress and cracks down on dissent.  He makes himself dictator, with assistance from a civilian national security force.

Berzelius Windrip... mmm, mmm, mmm!
