Last week I heard Joe Biden at his best -- and at his worst -- on the same day.
'Passionate, Down-to-Earth' Joe in one speech. 'Foot in His Mouth' Joe in the next speech. Today I heard 'Passionate, Down-to-Earth Joe' back at his best again. 'Two out of three ain't Bad'. (But -- please, Joe, no more 'foot in mouth' speeches, please, before the election...)
I heard Sarah Palin today also. Sarah Palin still can't seem to distinguish between:
1. 'Narcissistic, Unethical, Top-Heavy, Master-Slave' Capitalism;
2. 'Dialectic-Democratic, Ethical, Win-Win, Top and Bottom Solid' Capitalism;
3. Socialism.
Sarah Palin continues to effectively call Obama a 'socialist' -- instead of an 'Ethical Capitalist' who is trying to 'deconstruct' (dismantle) Top-Heavy, Unethical Capitalism in favor of a more Ethical, Win-Win, Bottom Solid, populist Capitalism where everybody shares a piece of The American Pie more fairly.
That is not 'socialism', Governor Palin. That is ethical, humanistic-existential Capitalism.
Either:
1. You, Governor Palin, do not have the intellect to make this important distinction;
2. And/or you are trying to utilize 'Republican Sophism' (meaning 'smoke and mirrors' -- Obama today used the words 'slash and burn' divisive tactics) to pull the wool over the eyes of the American people -- once again -- in true George Bush-John McCain-Sarah Palin ('GOB' -- Good Old Boy, including one with a lipstick and a skirt on) Exploitive Republican fashion.
Neither possibility makes Sarah Palin look good.
She just keeps churning out the same old, same old, Republican Capitalist stereotypes.
The ones that keep making the richest in America richer,
While impoverishing, manipulating, and exploiting the rest of America.
Sarah Palin and John McCain support Narcissistic, Unethical, Top-Heavy Capitalism at its worst -- the type that leaves the rest of America behind.
Obama and Biden support Ethical, Bottom-Solid, Populist Capitalism at its best.
And that is not Socialism.
And even if Obama's (and Hillary Clinton's) trumpeted 'Subsidized, and/or eventual Universal Health Plan' does include some elements of 'humanistic-socialism' in it,
That is still a lot better than Republican Unilateral, Imperialist, Foreign Relations,
And the crash of Narcissistic, Unethical, Top-Heavy Capitalism...
On Wall Street...
With CEOs packing up their multi-million dollar suitcases,
And escaping out the back door.
