The Great Progressive Hope - Elizabeth Warren - First Woman President?

“You didn’t build that!”

~ Elizabeth Warren: Democrat, Leftist, Senator, Marxist, Screaming Socialist, next president of the USA?

So, just who is Elizabeth Warren?

Well, for starters, she's another limo-liberal hypocrite. Like Clinton, she recently attempted to deceive her supporters into believing what she isn't: "I realize there are some wealthy individuals," she said. "I'm not one of them..."

But according to her Personal Financial Disclosures filed in advance of her 2012 Senate campaign, she has something in excess of $14.5 million in accumulated wealth, had income in excess of $700,000 in her last year before being elected, and lives in a house valued at more than $5 million. But as for the wealthy, she's "not one of them."

Recently, lamenting the plight of the poor, Warren noted, "My brother lives on his Social Security. That's about $1,100 a month. $13,200 a year." Well, perhaps she should split her income with her brother, and donate the rest of her assets to charity.

In another fine example of deceptive rhetoric, Warren regurgitated her own version of Obama's "You didn't build that" insult to entrepreneurs across the nation. According to Warren, "There is nobody in this country who got rich on their own. Nobody. You built a factory out there -- good for you. But I want to be clear. You moved your goods to market on roads the rest of us paid for. You hired workers the rest of us paid to educate. You were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for. Now look. You built a factory and it turned into something terrific or a great idea -- God bless! Keep a hunk of it. But part of the underlying social contract is you take a hunk of that and pay forward for the next kid who comes along."

Of course Warren, like Clinton and Obama, has never built anything but her investment portfolio, and refuses to acknowledge that successful entrepreneurs already pay 80% of federal and state taxes -- a violation of "the underlying social contract" which should imply flat taxation. Additionally, America's corporations pay the highest tax rates among the 33 industrialized nations. But Democrats never let facts get in the way of their classist political agenda, because their only real power is the ability to redistribute wealth to their constituents. And look what their so-called "Great Society" has gotten them.

So, why does it matter that Warren is as hypocritical about her wealth as Clinton?

Because she is a far smarter and more articulate Leftist than Clinton, and her policy positions mirror those of Obama, falling well to the left of Clinton.

She is the ideological heir apparent to Obama's "Imperial Presidency," and like Obama, she is a certifiable socialist -- a rising star among the New Democratic Party statists, who have infested the once-noble Democrat Party. Obama ran to the left of Clinton in the 2008 Democrat presidential primary, and Warren will do the same in the 2016 primary.

This doesn't mean Warren is a presidential shoe-in. Indeed, she has said that she's not running at all in 2016. But her performance at the "Nutroots Nation" convention last week certainly resembled the launch of a presidential bid, as she laid out her 11 Commandments of Progressivism.

If Warren runs, she would be a more formidable general election opponent than Clinton. She would also do a better job of rallying female voters -- and female voters have elected every Democrat president since Kennedy.

In 1797, John Adams wrote, "If an election is to be determined by a majority ... procured by a party through artifice or corruption, the Government may be the choice of a party for its own ends, not of the nation for the national good." And that describes the Democratic Party today.

P.S. Despite Warren's reassertion in an upcoming book that she has "native American ancestry," that lie is still just that. Honest Injun.
