The Rudy Syndrome
Overwhelm the System
We have a guest speaker for this post. The article below was written by Wayne Allyn Root, the noted Libertarian. He has a theory that President Obama has a plan to socialize America. Our regular readers know we are opposed to socialism here at the Rudy Syndrome. It is counter to our goal of rewarding hard work and discouraging laziness. See our prior article, Socialism and the Rudy Syndrome, for background.
This post is slightly more partisan then we like to get here at the Rudy Syndrome, but it certainly could start some interesting conversation. What do you think? Does Mr Root make valid points? Or, is he just a dissatisfied naysayer? Reasonable minds could differ. But, one thing on which me must all agree: Barack Obama does not have the Rudy Syndrome. And, you have to admire that.
OVERWHELM THE SYSTEM
by Wayne Allan Root
Barrack Obama is no fool. He is not incompetent. To the contrary, he is brilliant. He knows exactly what he's doing. He is purposely overwhelming the U.S. economy to create systemic failure, economic crisis and social chaos -- thereby destroying capitalism and our country from within.
Barack Obama is my college classmate (Columbia University , class of '83). As Glenn Beck correctly predicted from day one, Obama is following the plan of Cloward and Piven, two professors at Columbia University . They outlined a plan to socialize America by overwhelming the system with government spending and entitlement demands.
Add up the clues below. Taken individually they're alarming. Taken as a whole, it is a brilliant, Machiavellian game plan to turn the United States into a socialist/Marxist state with a permanent majority that desperately needs government for survival... and can be counted on to always vote for bigger government. Why not? They have no responsibility to pay for it.
Universal Health Care. The health care bill had very little to do with health care. Â It had everything to do with unionizing millions of hospital and health care workers, as well as adding 15,000 to 20,000 new IRS agents (who will join government employee unions). Obama doesn't care that giving free health care to 30 million Americans will add trillions to the national debt. What he does care about is that it cements the dependence of those 30 million voters to Democrats and big government. Who but a socialist revolutionary would pass this reckless spending bill in the middle of a depression?
Cap and Trade. Like health care legislation having nothing to do with health care, cap and trade has nothing to do with global warming. It has everything to do with redistribution of income, government control of the economy and a criminal payoff to Obama's biggest contributors. Those powerful and wealthy unions and contributors (like GE, which owns NBC, MSNBC and CNBC) can then be counted on to support everything Obama wants. They will kickback hundreds of millions of dollars in contributions to Obama and the Democratic Party to keep them in power. The bonus is that all the new taxes on Americans with bigger cars, bigger homes and businesses helps Obama "spread the wealth around."
Make Puerto Rico a State. Why? Who's asking for a 51st state? Who's asking for millions of new welfare recipients and government entitlement addicts in the middle of a depression? Certainly not American taxpayers. But this has been Obama's plan all along. His goal is to add two new Democrat senators, five Democrat congressman and a million loyal Democratic voters who are dependent on big government.
Legalize 12 million illegal immigrants. Just giving these 12 million potential new citizens free health care alone could overwhelm the system and bankrupt America . But it adds 12 million reliable new Democrat voters who can be counted on to support big government. Add another few trillion dollars in welfare, aid to dependent children, food stamps, free medical, education, tax credits for the poor, and eventually Social Security.
Stimulus and Bailouts. Where did all that money go? It went to Democrat contributors, organizations (ACORN), and unions -- including billions of dollars to save or create jobs of government employees across the country. It went to save GM and Chrysler so that their employees could keep paying union dues. It went to AIG so that Goldman Sachs could be bailed out (after giving Obama almost $1 million in contributions). A staggering $125 billion went to teachers (thereby protecting their union dues). Al l those public employees will vote loyally Democrat to protect their bloated salaries and pensions that are bankrupting America . The country goes broke, future generations face a bleak future, but Obama, the Democrat Party, government, and the unions grow more powerful. The ends justify the means.
Raise taxes on small business owners, high-income earners, and job creators. Put the entire burden on only the top 20 percent of taxpayers, redistribute the income, punish success, and reward those who did nothing to deserve it (except vote for Obama). Reagan wanted to dramatically cut taxes in order to starve the government. Obama wants to dramatically raise taxes to starve his political opposition.
With the acts outlined above, Obama and his regime have created a vast and rapidly expanding constituency of voters dependent on big government; a vast privileged class of public employees who work for big government; and a government dedicated to destroying capitalism and installing themselves as socialist rulers by overwhelming the system.
Add it up and you've got the perfect Marxist scheme -- all devised by my Columbia University college classmate Barack Obama using the Cloward and Piven Plan

What is the Answer on Illegal Immigration?
Last week, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer, signed into law the now famous SB 1070 Immigration Bill. It has been the top national news story for over a week now. We all know there is no easy answer, but really, what should we do about illegal immigration?<< MORE >>
Predictions for 2010
It's January 1, 2010. As per our long-standing, two-year tradition, it's time to make some predictions about the year to come. As we disclaimed last year, we don't really know if these things will happen, but given our 7.5 out of 10 track record from our 2009 Score Card, it's possible at least 75% of the following will come true.<< MORE >>
2009 Score Card
As 2009 comes to an end, it's time for us to look back on our predictions for 2009 and see how well we did. Overall, 2009 turned out to be the year of health care, economic downturn, the War in Afghanistan, and Michael Jackson. We did predict some of that, but let's take a closer look and see exactly where our inexpert predictions landed.<< MORE >>
Farewell Tim McKernan
If you ever watched a Denver Broncos game, you will know the incredibly enthusiastic fan people in Denver simply called "The Barrel Man." He showed up at Broncos games for decades wearing
nothing but a barrel, a cowboy hat, and cowboy boots. << MORE >>
A Wish for a Leader
I wish you could know how it feels to run with all your heart and lose -- horribly. ...

Farewell Michael Jackson
Today, the world lost a musical genius and legend. I lost the person I have used as an example of the perfect combination of talent and heart since I first started talking about the Rudy Syndrome in 1993. Michael Jackson's contribution to the world of music is profound and will never be forgotten.<< MORE >>
This is Your Life
This morning, the pastor at church delivered a sermon titled, "This is Your Life." He came at the issue slightly differently than we do, but essentially, the message was the Rudy Syndrome, in spades. His point was simple: this is your life, what are you doing with it?<< MORE >>
People treat you the way you let them treat you.
In 1987, my very good friend, Sheila, said something to me that was so profound, I never forgot it. She said, "Christine, people treat you the way you let them treat you." This was appropriate in the context of our discussion 22 years ago. But, it is also relevant to life in general. If you believe it and live it, you will be amazed at how your life will change.<< MORE >>
What are the Symptoms of the Rudy Syndrome?
Last week we got an email from one of our readers, Carol, from Denver. The subject line was typed as "The Rudy Symptom" instead of "The Rudy Syndrome." It was an unintended typographical error, but it struck a chord. Maybe we should do a series of articles about the symptoms of the Rudy Syndrome.<< MORE >>
