				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://frontpagemag.com/2013/dgreenfield/obama-inc-trying-to-use-banks-to-destroy-gun-manufacturers/tumblr_li8k83uwvv1qcz692o1_500-2/" rel="attachment wp-att-174971"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-174971" title="tumblr_li8k83uWVV1qcz692o1_500" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/tumblr_li8k83uWVV1qcz692o1_5001.jpg" alt="" width="430" height="296" /></a></p>
<p>There were fairly clear policy rules once upon a time. If you wanted to pass gun control, you would get up, use a bunch of kids as props and put in a Senate bill that would get the job done. That&#8217;s still being done, but it&#8217;s only the tip of the iceberg.</p>
<p>Obama Inc. is consolidating control over the economy which puts its minions in the position of being able to make policy through economic pressure and policy. Under Socialism, you don&#8217;t have to pass a law, you just have to use your economic control to make the companies enforce the law.</p>
<p>Growing government control over banks and investment companies, directly and indirectly, allows those institutions to be used to target firearms manufacturers.</p>
<p>Cerberus was <a href="http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2012-12-18/newtown-fallout-cerberus-retreats-from-guns">bullied into dropping the Freedom Group</a> which includes Remington and Bushmaster. Bushmaster has become a special target for the anti-2nd amendment movement. Now<a href="http://weaselzippers.us/2013/01/25/rahm-emanuel-demands-banks-stop-doing-business-with-gun-manufacturers/"> Rahm Emanuel is demanding</a> that TD Bank and Bank of America end their lines of credit to firearms manufacturers unless they come out in support of Obama&#8217;s war on the Bill of Rights.</p>
<p>This is an unacceptable level of interference in the political system. The Party that claims to be upset at corporate influence over politics is trying to forcibly create a corporate lobby in favor of abrogating the Bill of Rights by exploiting their leverage over banks and the leverage of banks over private companies.</p>
<p>We&#8217;re not just talking creepy, we&#8217;re talking about a level of Totalitarian Socialism that would be shocking even in Europe. What we are really seeing is a preview of Term 2. A term when all the rules have gone out the window and when Obama Inc. has set aside all the disguises to function as the left-wing terrorist group that it is.</p>
<p>Ace <a href="http://ace.mu.nu/archives/336869.php">makes an important distinction</a> between liberals and leftists in terms of process&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>Liberalism is highly concerned with process. Both the liberal version of classic liberalism and the conservative version of classic liberalism consider process (fairness, equal access, and other such concerns) to be almost as vital as outcomes.</p>
<p>Actually, in reality, process is more important than outcomes, as far as the long-term health of a democracy, and all politically-minded people tend to put outcomes over process; we all do it, we all lapse. But generally we keep process firmly in mind, even if we don&#8217;t quite give it the priority it deserves.</p>
<p>But leftism is a different beast. Leftism considers concerns of process to be a weakness, and indulgence for sissies and the faint-hearts; the only thing that matters &#8212; the only thing that should be a concern for the properly-masculine, properly-indoctrinated New Man of the Left is outcomes.</p>
<p>Any tactic, fair or foul, is permissible in the quest for the Leftist State.</p></blockquote>
<p>That is where we are at now. Process no longer matters. The filibuster is evil when there&#8217;s a Dem majority. It&#8217;s good when there&#8217;s a Dem minority. Freedom of speech is bad when used by the right and good when used by the left. ID&#8217;s are vital for getting into their conventions, but not for voting. When Obama fails to appoint women, it&#8217;s not a problem. When Romney does appoint women, it&#8217;s binders joke time.</p>
<p>There are no standards. No set values. No more concern with process. Only the will to power. The determination to do anything it takes to get their way with no more thought for any laws or ethics. The left is getting its Pol Pot on.</p>

<p>Rice&#8217;s goose wasn&#8217;t cooked until liberals began attacking her over Keystone and Africa. There are now signs that Hagel is coming under fire from liberals as well.</p>
<p><a href="http://israelmatzav.blogspot.com/2012/12/a-climate-denier-too.html">Daily Kos is taking a shot at </a>Hagel over environmental issues, which have ridiculously become a big part of the Pentagon under Obama Inc. And the <a href="http://israelmatzav.blogspot.com/2012/12/hagel-anti-gay.html">New York Times is taking a shot at him</a> over gay rights, which under Obama Inc, is ridiculously also a big part of what the Pentagon does now.</p>
<p>Hagel can and will quickly backpedal on global warming and gay rights. It&#8217;s certainly easier for him to do this than it was for Rice to undo everything that she had done wrong in Africa. But the liberal attacks are a symptom of what may be the growing conflict between liberals and Obama.</p>
<p>Approaching the 2012 election, Obama began insincerely throwing out a grab bag of party favors to liberals, including gay rights and an executive amnesty for Mexican illegal aliens, but the left intends to make sure that they extract maximum value from O&#8217;s second term and that means repeated confrontations that are meant to push him to the left while challenging the orthodoxy of his nominees.</p>
<p>The choice of Hagel was a strange one to begin with. Bringing in Hagel three years ago would have been a clever way to provide cover for an Iraq withdrawal with a Republican anti-war senator. Bringing him in now is mostly useless. Gay rights has been shoved into the military. Iraq is done. Afghanistan is coming up but not much political cover is needed for a war that most people think should end.</p>
<p>Romney hardly attacked Obama on foreign policy, aside from Israel, and that&#8217;s where Hagel has the worst possible record. There really is no benefit to a Hagel nomination without a pro-war and anti-war debate in the country. Indeed Obama these days is pushing his own &#8220;clean&#8221; wars that Republicans rarely dissent from.</p>
<p>Hagel is anti-military and favors major defense cuts, so bringing him to do the dirty work has some utility, but it&#8217;s not clear that anyone cares. Republicans have barely made it an issue. Romney failed to defend the military against Tricare health care cuts, which would have been a smart issue to jump on. Most Americans do oppose major defense cuts, but they had the chance to vote against that in November. And it&#8217;s not about to stop Obama. Nor does Obama have any further reason to care what the voters who stayed home or foolishly swung over to him, but are nevertheless pro-military, think.</p>
<p>Liberals naturally want one of their own in there. Why waste a major portfolio on a former Republican with a droopy face whose useful expired in 2007?</p>
<p>The second term is usually the spoils of war term. It&#8217;s the circular firing squads term. And the Republican collapse has made liberals even more eager to fight over the spoils. They don&#8217;t see any point in sharing them with Chuck Hagel.</p>
