OBAMA AND BIDEN BLOODY OFFENSIVE
Obama and Biden, as leaders in the American Cultural War, shall take the bloody offensive in restoring traditional international good will, patriotism, Christian culture, and Constitutional rule of law.
The Republican Party suffers from malignant Podhoretz Neo-Conservative cancer; and the Democrat Party suffers from malignant Leiberman Neo-Liberal cancer. These Crypto-Neo-Marxist cancers are mutations of that malignant Marxist cancer that mortally devastated Russia, by successfully dividing her patriots against each other.
The America People got these Crypto-Neo-Marxist cancers at the end of the Second World War, when they naively accepted millions of pitiful defeated Marxist refugees from Nazi Germany and Marxist Soviet Union. History suggests that the ultimate fate of these Neo-Marxists shall be the same as it was everywhere in Europe. Reagan Republicans and Kennedy Liberals, by uniting against this common enemy and using the powers granted by the Constitution, shall permanently end their subversive activities. Then America shall be singing, “God Bless America”, and the United Nations shall be cheering.
