Those wacky Illinois politicians. And this one’s not even from Chicago.

Rep. Phil Hare (D-IL-17) says he doesn’t worry about the Constitution (tip: Allahpundit)

When he swore to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic,” he must have been talking about defending against himself.

When it was reported last week that MSNBC’s Carlos Watson started to wonder if socialist is the new N-Word, I was at a loss for words. Until today.

I read some tweets by Peter Schmugge directly addressed that. I told him I was stealing it.

With that said, I’m updating an old post.

Here is Blazing Saddles if “socialist” was the the “N-word”…

Comrades Barack Obama, Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev

“My new comrade.”

That’s what Russian president Dmitry Medvedev called Barack Obama.

Heck, we’ve known his as Comrade Obama for some time.

I’m just waiting on a bailout bill to include a provision for a new song to replace the Star Spangled Banner.

So, Barack Obama has tapped a socialist to be his energy czar.

The thing that amazes me … is that anyone is surprised that a socialist would have a socialist in his inner circle.

“From each according to his ability to each according to his need.”

The words of Karl Marx.

And the meaning of the words of Barack Obama:

“Spread the wealth around,” he said.

“Spread the wealth around?”

Take your wealth (“from each according to his ability”) and spread it around (“to each according to his need”).

Way to go, Obama. Karl Marx would be proud.
