The Timberjay’s editorial of Aug. 14 about reducing Pentagon/military spending was an example of the wrong-headed view of global geopolitics by the liberal, progressive or socialist minority.

The world has... and will always be led by the strongest military and economic power. (Leaders are regularly replaced by stronger, more successful successors) 

During the 20th and 21st Centuries, America has demonstrated that everyone benefits when the world leader is benevolent, god-fearing, Christian, free-market capitalistic, innovative, intellectually brilliant, hard-working, responsible citizenry, non-Muslim and non-Sharia.   

Leftists are making the world ungovernable — perhaps America is becoming ungovernable.  California, Michigan, New Jersey, New York and Ohio are effectively ungovernable (and broke).  Pennsylvania, Washington State, Oregon, Nevada, Iowa, Illinois, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Maryland and Vermont are close behind.

Obama’s (and the Timberjay’s) answer to present day economic deficiencies is to radicalize global governance by bringing the United States and Europe to its social and economic knees following Columbia University’s Cloward-Piven activistism and social unrest strategies. 

This will happen after Obama has slashed military and leading-edge science spending— transferring more of America’s Gross Domestic Product to social welfare programs such as food stamps, inner-city welfare, unemployment benefits, racial reparations, teacher’s union and governmental employee benefits, etc.

Richard Trumka of the AFL-CIO and Andy Stern of Service Employees International Union are activists, in direct contact with the Obama administration, to destroy decades-long fair owner-labor practices. The proposed card-check legislation will unfairly strengthen labor union organizing.  Cap and trade will destroy our energy industry.  Obamacare will marginalize American healthcare. 

These radical acts will create a new core of wealthy political fascists who create nothing and who will confiscate the mansions and private aircraft of the former tycoons who were CEOs of America’s greatest industries.  Just look at Stalin’s Russia from the 1920s to the 1980s.
