We Need an Elliot Ness

The revelations that have come to light about President Obama, during the campaign and after election, have left little doubt to many of us that deep problems exist for the future of America. While a few in Congress and some pundits focus on the White House’s vetting process for “Czars,” most Americans, blessed with that wonderful commodity, Common Sense, see a systemic problem of far greater proportion.

While the Administration and the Democrat Congress overwhelms the public with an onslaught of legislation from bailouts and “stimulus” to healthcare and Cap and Trade, the people, as borne out by polling, see an emerging pattern far more sinister than obvious Socialism. It is the methodology of Chicago “machine politics” married with a disturbingly Marxist ideology. In Chicago, politics, thuggery and crime have been married since before it was exposed by people like the FBI’s Elliot Ness in the 1920’s. While Prohibition may have triggered the exposition of Al Capone and the Mob, linked with the political machine, it was about crime rather than ideology. Now, it is the “machine” linked with a fundamental attack on our Constitution and its natural ally, Capitalism.

Today a convergence has occurred between the thugocracy of Chicago politics and radical Marxist ideology as epitomized be the Saul Alinsky school of thought; a “gift” to us of the 60’s radical movement whose now aging proponents have artfully maneuvered into Congress and the White House. Anyone who is not terrified to see radical Marxists, even self-avowed Communists steering us toward a path that has failed miserably time and again throughout history, is either a fool or a menace to America and all that made her great.

We need a modern day Elliot Ness to identify this threat and dismantle it. The silence from our “conservative” elected officials on the above course is disturbing. They nip at the effects of it, like calling for dismissal of Green Jobs Czar Van Jones, but they don’t get at the systemic cause. They have become so anesthetized by their own power and quest to keep their position that they have abdicated their patriotic principles. They all need to be corralled and forced to watch the movie, “Mr. Smith Goes To Washington.”

One person who won’t need to be compelled to see that movie is former Gov. Sarah Palin. She has proved that she lives her love of America every day and through every public action. No-one should have any doubt where she stands on all current issues. The “Hockey Mom” from Wasilla has proven through word and deed that she has the guts and dedication of Elliot Ness combined with the leadership skills to dismantle the Chicago Marxist machine and its pandering Leftist agenda in Congress and the so-called Labor Movement.

No-one else seems to be stepping up to lead the charge against the enemies of the Constitution. Looks like the only one who has seriously taken her Constitutional oath to heart is Palin.
