This is a timely bit of journalism against the backdrop of GM’s government takeover “bankruptcy.” My friend Susan wonders today: “If the new Government Motors Corp. can’t make cars people want to buy, wonder how long it will be before we are required to purchase?”
Oh, is that a ridiculous proposition to you? Then you aren’t paying attention.
How bad are things when a Russian columnist is taking stinging shots like this in Pravda?
It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American descent into Marxism is happening with breathtaking speed, against the backdrop of a passive, hapless sheeple, excuse me dear reader, I meant people.
True, the situation has been well prepared on and off for the past century, especially the past twenty years. The initial testing grounds was conducted upon our Holy Russia and a bloody test it was. But we Russians would not just roll over and give up our freedoms and our souls, no matter how much money Wall Street poured into the fists of the Marxists.
Those lessons were taken and used to properly prepare the American populace for the surrender of their freedoms and souls, to the whims of their elites and betters.
Burns like hell, doesn’t it? But how can you even quibble? Read the whole piece, titled American Capitalism Gone with a Whimper, here.
For now it seems Ford stands, though I expect the Obama regime to begin making life very, very difficult for it soon. How dare they defy the wisdom of being state-owned and run? “Yup, this is a real nice car company you have here, Ford. Be a shame if anything happened to it.”
In the meantime, hope is all we have. Maybe sufficient outrage will come online before Ford falls. If you need a car or truck, please strongly consider our friends in Dearborn. Buy two.

Lee: I can’t believe half of what you’re saying hasn’t even occurred to me yet, but that’s the way it’s happening.
I’ve been over in my head many of the ways the government can screw Ford behind a veneer of cleverly crafted legislation and regulation. However, it took your comment for it to click in my head that the UAW that is part-owner of GM and Chrysler is the very same UAW working for Ford.
How’s that for an admission of airheadedness?
Wow. Just…wow.
My comment disappeared – but, I am not surprised. I posted from my phone. Something about Ayn Rand, her writings and the Anti dog-eat-dog laws.
‘seester: That sucks. Please say it again tomorrow, should you have time and motivation.
I’m starting to recognize the brilliance of the Prophet Rand.
