Chavez II
Hillary Clinton has come out as a Marxist.
Last week ExxonMobil posted record-breaking profits. This news provoked an immediate reaction from Senator Hillary Clinton at the Democratic National Committee in Baltimore on Friday. “I want to take those profits,” Clinton said, “and put them into an alternative energy fund that will begin to fund alternative smart energy alternatives that will actually begin to move us toward the direction of independence.”
Clinton’s remarks are the first time that a nationally known Democrat has openly called for the government seizure of an industry since President Harry Truman tried to nationalize the steel industry in 1952. The U.S. Supreme Court slapped back Truman’s takeover in Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. et al. v. Sawyer. (Like Senator Clinton, Truman also championed a national health-care scheme.)
While other politicians have suggested establishing an alternative energy fund, Clinton is the first to advocate funding it by taking the earnings of a publicly held American company. ExxonMobil has some eight-hundred thousand shareholders, many of whom depend on these earnings to fund their retirements.
This would be economically devastating, not just for the shareholders, but the economy i9n general as it would send a signal that would put the stock market in the toilet. Dow 1,000 anyone?
This woman revealed herself to be foolish when she tried to push a “health care” agenda on us when her husband was president. They told us they modeled it after Canada’s and we’re seeing all the time how Canada’s health care system is failing on so many levels. When you consider that many Canadians come here for their health care, that should tell you something.
Now she wants to nationalize the oil industry? What’s next, a law that makes her dictator for life, like Chavez just got?
We really don’t want a Hillary presidency. No way.
When Queen Clinton teams with Saint Obama be afraid. Socialism marches on.

P.S.- Keep an eye out on Mark Warner’s teeth. He is a smart business man. he understands timing and smartly pulled his name out of the hat for now. However, if you see him with perfect teeth in the next 6 months, you can be sure that he will jump back in the fray with a lot of hooplah!
