    Revolutionary Situation in the United Statesby Zack Lieberberg

    According to V. I. Lenin, immediately before a revolution, a country goes through arevolutionary situation, which is defined as follows: Those on top are unable, and those onthe bottom are unwilling, to maintain the current order of things.

    Have we reached a revolutionary situation in these United States of America? Let s takea look at some of our problems.

    Take, for example, illegal immigration. According to some estimates, illegal immigrantstoday constitute 7 to 9 per cent of the population. It is the biggest invasion in history. It s 10times more than the entire Chinese military! Both opponents and advocates of illegalimmigration know that this is causing our country enormous harm. Can we get rid of them?Of course, we can. We simply need the government to deport every single one of them,every time he or she is detected. Deport them when they come to the Department of MotorVehicles to obtain a driver license. Deport them when they try to enroll their children in aschool. Deport them when they come to an emergency room after performing thenecessary procedure, obviously, for we are not inhumane; but, because we are not suckerseither, we should charge their country of origin for the services provided. And if a baby is

    born on US soil to an illegal immigrant, treat that baby as an illegal immigrant: deport it,along with its illegal immigrant parent. Anything else amounts to an amnesty. And sinceeverything the government does regarding illegal immigration amounts to an amnesty, wecan conclude that the government is unable to solve this problem.

    Are we willing to cleanse this country of the illegals? Not really. First, we feel bad forthem and their, oh, so cute babies. Second, most of them, like your cleaning lady, forexample, are decent, hard-working people who charge you less than an American would,because they don t pay taxes, and neither do you when you hire them. Therefore, this is notgoing to happen.

    Or, take our war on drugs. Why doesn t it work? Why is it dragging on and on, year afteryear, decade after decade, draining our resources without achieving anything at all?Because when the cops lead away the kid who s been pushing drugs on a street corner, the

    kid who pushes drugs on the corner a block away seizes the opportunity and expands hisbusiness. And when the feds intercept a multi-million-dollar shipment of heroin, the dentthey cause to the overall traffic of drugs is less than the one that the federal taxes leave onany legitimate business. Obviously, the government is unable to solve the drug problem.

    Are we willing to win this war? We are, but only in theory. In theory, we could leave drugdealers alone and take away drug users. Without the drug users, those who would poisonus all would go out of business. But are we willing to do it? Are we willing to send our ownkids to jail, even for a few weeks, for experimenting with pot or even coke? Of course, not;we are not suicidal. And that s exactly why the drug war will never solve the problem of druguse in this country. But it will handsomely feed a huge and unnecessary federal bureaucracycreated specifically for the purpose of conducting that endless, meaningless war and,therefore, not interested to actually win it.

    Can we win the war on terror?Let me share an anecdote with you before I expand on that exciting question. Recently, I

    was at JFK airport seeing off a friend who was leaving for Japan. In a long line to thesecurity station, there was a group of Japanese kids, apparently returning home from a tripto New York. If I had to guess their age, I would say 10 or 11. Each kid was wearing aYankee baseball hat no doubts a souvenir from the trip. Each kid was holding his or herpassport open for the security officer. None of them seemed to speak English. As they oneby one reached the officer, he would lift the hat off the head of the kid to compare the cute,smiling face to its likeness in the passport.

    There were passengers of several other flights in that line. One of them was for Riyadh.When I saw the dark-skinned man accompanied by four creatures that resembled fourbowling pins draped in dark fabric, I thought that was their destination. I was curious how thesecurity officer would handle them. To my great disappointment, no international incidentunfolded before my eyes. The officer, who had just diligently scrutinized the passports andfaces of Japanese children, simply waved the Arabs through.

    So, let me ask you again: Can our government win the war on terror?Of course, we can. And we can do it without wasting the lives of our soldiers and

    hundreds of billions of our dollars in Iraq and Afghanistan. All we have to do to achieve thatvictory is kick Islam out of the United States. Once the term Muslim Americanbecomes nomore than an oxymoron, we will be able to sell our no longer needed airport securityequipment to Eurabia and bail out our ailing banks without using a penny of taxpayersmoney. I know it, you know it, Osama bin Laden knows it, and even George Bush, whoseems to know nothing at all, knows it as well; even if this knowledge didn t stop him fromannouncing to us on September 12, 2001, that Islam was not an enemy. Hisgovernment ismost definitely unable to win this war.

    But are wewilling to uproot the Muslim community in the US? Sadly, we are not. Islam isa religion, and, whether you think it is a religion of peace or something entirely different,

    there is freedom of religion in this country, guaranteed by our Constitution. On the otherhand, religion every religion is an ideology. An ideology can justify our way of life, asJudaism and Christianity do, be neutral towards it as is Buddhism, or openly and explicitlyoppose it, as communism, fascism, and Islam. Why should we allow the enemy ideology toblossom on our soil? Because we are afraid we are not going to be able to draw the line,and once Islam is no longer a danger, the forces unleashed in order to contain it will turnagainst us: the Jews, the homosexuals, the blacks everyone who has a historically wellfounded fear of persecution.

    Nobody knows the answer.If you thought the crisis we are currently going through was limited to the crumbling

    financial institutions, you were wrong. The sad state of our economy is only one side of it.This crisis has been in the making for decades; it involves every aspect of our lives.

    The international prestige of the United States is at its lowest in, at least, a century.The American political machine with its ongoing political debate between the two parties

    about the better future of this country has deteriorated into an unabashed race for power.Liberals, abusing their ever growing influence, succeed in taking away our liberties for

    example, the liberty to openly and publicly celebrate Christmas or to speak the truth whenthe thought police finds it politically incorrect.

    The very same government that sends our soldiers to foreign lands to fight for obscuregoals tries them for murder when they perform their duty and defend their lives and the livesof their comrades.

    We could overcome this crisis, but we need a leader wise and strong enough to lead usout of it. George Bush does not qualify for the job. And neither does John McCain, who hasfailed to even acknowledge that the country is in the throes of a total crisis.

    What s going to happen?A century ago, the obvious inability of the Russian monarchy to provide desperately

    needed leadership brought forth a young, charismatic leader who promised change, took thecountry from the tsar s weak hands, and destroyed it as thoroughly as was possible. Hisname was Vladimir Lenin. His minions killed more Russian citizens than did the two worldwars combined. His successors enslaved Eastern Europe for half a century. His followersturned China, North Korea, and Cuba into giant concentration camps. His legacy lives on inPutin s Kremlin.

    In the 1930 s, when Germany found itself leaderless and falling apart, a young,

    charismatic leader came forth, promised change, and took the country from the weak handsof an elderly chancellor. His name was Adolf Hitler. Supported by the enthusiasm of hiscompatriots, he led Germany through a brief renaissance to complete destruction, alongwith most of Europe, killing about 70 million people in the process. His legacy lives on invarious neo-Nazi organizations across the world.

    Today, the United States is in a strikingly similar situation. At the time when a strongleader is most desperately needed, the ruling elite finds itself unable to provide one. Ayoung, charismatic leader comes forth and promises change. His name is Barack HusseinObama. And I believe he is going to deliver on his promise of change, even though themostbasic arithmetic tells us that it cannot be fulfilled. Why?

    Because Barack Hussein Obama is, essentially, a foreigner. He may (or not) be born inthe United States, but the values shared by the American people, the values that made thiscountry great and prosperous, are as foreign to him as his Arabian, Kenyan, Indonesianroots are to us. He has nothing vested in this country. All his life here, he was closelyassociated with its enemies. He will destroy it with no regrets. The very fact that seven yearsafter the devastating attack visited on the United States by Arabs, the Americans are goingto place an Arab into the White house demonstrates the depth of the crisis we are in.

    According to the polls, Obama is going to win the election. I would be surprised if hedidn t. In the 20 years since Ronald Reagan s departure from the White House, theRepublican party has done absolutely nothing to earn our votes. Even while a Republicanpresident was in the Oval Office and the Republicans had the majority (earned more by theClintons failures than their own accomplishments) in both the Congress and the Senate,they failed to accomplish anything of value. Yes, I remember the Bush tax cut; but, youknow what s going to happen to it in the very near future.

    What can we do? Vote for Ralph Nader? Yeah, that will help. Start burning mosques?

    The FBI will be upon you faster than you can say the shahada.What is needed today and needed desperately is a new political party that will be

    not be afraid to appear politically incorrect, that will be pragmatic, that will lead us out of thetrap laid for us by our enemies, foreign and, mostly, domestic.

    Any party organizers willing to volunteer?
