You Don't Have to Call Him a Marxist...

David Limbaugh has a good column about the ideological "leanings" of President Obama and those with whom he has been surrounded his entire life. You don't have to call him a Marxist, but if it quacks like a duck and walks like a duck, chances are it's a duck. Here's a sampling of Limbaugh's piece:

All right already. I won't call Obama a Marxist in this column. Instead, I'll point to some signs that indicate that Barack and Karl might well be soul mates. At least, they have similar attitudes about capital, labor and profits, er, surplus value.

Liberals, even those of the Marxist variety, take umbrage when you point out their ideological kinship with Marxism.

I suppose this dates back to the days when being a communist was tantamount to being an enemy of the United States, in that there was a global communist movement intent on -- and coming darn close to -- world domination. Though global communism has been defeated, there remains a strong contingent among us, whose nerve center is the Democratic Party leadership under President Obama, committed to obliterating America's free market.

Be sure to read the entire piece. My only disagreement is that I think global communism is on the rise as opposed to being defeated, but that needn't detract from David Limbaugh's thoughtful piece.

Go there now and read it in its entirety.
