Glenn Beck exposes another adviser, Jim Wallis, to Obama that believes in Marxism and “social justice”.   He also talks about how the progressives exploit Christians by playing on their “moral” feelings.  If you missed it today please watch this video and share it with your friends!

I just saw Speaker of The House Nancy Pelosi on the news after her meeting with Obama. At the White House say, “Health care reform is entitlement reform.” No hidden message there!

“I told ya so”

Statement from Governor Sarah Palin in regards to Michael Steele

The transition from Candidate Obama to President Obama has been as predictable as Alaska’s winter snow.

We are now witnessing actions that will lead to a monumental shift away from free market capitalism and the strong work ethic that built this great country. ‘Change’ in this administration has meant rapid movement toward massive government growth, huge tax burdens on future generations, and an unprecedented reliance upon foreign countries.

Today, we learned that Obama’s decisions continue to impact Alaskans; while we as taxpayers now own General Motors, Obama closes another dealership – this time in Soldotna as more of Alaskans’ hard-earned money and jobs are lost to big government. Government should not be in the auto industry business. In Alaska, we have also seen a shift in federal priorities that threaten the loss of subsidized village health care services under the same candidate who led you to believe he’d insure all Americans. The inconsistent messages and actions are unsettling.

But we have another voice in Washington, DC – a man who understands what Alaskans believe: less centralized government control, restrained budgets, more opportunity for development, and fewer taxes. Today, we have a friend in RNC Chairman Michael Steele and his bold and courageous speech defines his leadership goals that will guide us all through this most difficult time for our nation.”

Socialist Presidential Candidate Advocated Executive Caps In 2008 Campaign; Says, “This is Good Start Toward Socialism”

TAMPA BAY (Spring Hill), FLORIDA, February 5, 2009 —President Barack Obama, who on Wednesday imposed $500,000 caps on senior executive pay for the most distressed financial institutions receiving federal bailout money, saying Americans are upset with “executives being rewarded for failure,” has joined his 2008 minor party opponent who called for executive caps throughout the presidential election campaign.

Brian Moore, the Socialist Party USA presidential candidate in the 2008 presidential elections, stated on the “Issues” page of his presidential website (www.votebrianmoore.com) to “Cap and reduce corporate profits and excessive executive salary levels while fostering the transfer of corporate ownership and control to workers.”

Moore continually advocated in his radio and television interviews, and in debates and presidential forums throughout the 2008 presidential campaign, that there should be a “worker/CEO ratio of no more than 5 to 1.”

The Socialist Party platform also states in its “Economics” section that ” We call for …a maximum income [for executives] of no more than ten times the minimum.”

Moore does embrace Mr. Obama’s criticism of corporate executives when the President was recently quoted that such exorbitant pay is “exactly the kind of disregard for the costs and consequences of their [corporate and capitalistic] actions that brought about this crisis—a culture of narrow self-interest and short-term gain at the expense of everything else.”

Moore further added in point 32 of his website Issues page that “During transition to full worker control, [we should] require the private sector to implement a fairer economic system of consumer costs, profit-margins and regulation of services and products.”

The former Socialist candidate said that he disagrees with the President’s quote, as reported today in The New York Times (Thurs., Feb. 5, 2009) that “We don’t disparage wealth. We don’t begrudge anybody for achieving success. And we believe that success should be rewarded….but what upsets people are executives being rewarded for failure…”

Moore disagrees with President Obama’s mindset, arguing that that is the trouble with capitalism, it focuses on profit and individual success and wealth instead of focusing “on production for the needs of the community instead.” Moore contends that “success can also be rewarded under socialism, but not exorbitantly, or at the expense of the common good.” “That is where we differ from Mr. Obama and his capitalistic mindset, his capitalistic political party and the faltering capitalistic economic system which our country is presently burdened by,” the former socialist candidate stated.

Moore says that Socialism stands for “a fundamental transformation of the economy,” and that only a “global” transformation from capitalism to democratic socialism will provide the conditions for international peace, justice and economic cooperation.

Moore argues that Socialism is seeking a “classless society,” one that is fairer and more egalitarian, and where the majority of citizens can benefit from a more democratic economic system, instead of rewarding only the select few at the top. “An executive salary cap, as a bailout condition, is a good start, in our direction toward socialism,” Moore happily stated.
