Rahm Emanuel is a liar, but is he a rogue? It’s hardly likely.

He’s one of Barack Obama’s bagmen. The answers to hard questions would settle the matter, but the Democrat controlled media won’t ask them. Emanuel doesn’t show himself in public except to snarl at feckless reports who recoil from his glare.

Revelations of federal wire taps confirm Emanuel spoke with Rod Blagojevich at least six times. It’s insulting to try to tell us they didn’t discuss the price Blagojevich was demanding for appointing Obama’s recommended successor in the Senate.

During the campaign the Democrat media talked about Sarah Palin being a rogue who could not be trusted. She wouldn’t help John McCain make believe he is a conservative. She was a rogue.

While Palin was a rogue, Emanuel is cautious, not roguish. When Special Prosecutor Patrick FitzGerald says Emanuel is not the subject of an investigation he is speaking strictly in legal terms. In terms of real life scandal Emanuel is up to his hips in mud.

Does anyone believe he acted as a rogue, strolled off The One’s reservation and went behind Obama’s back to negotiate a deal with Blagojevich? Being “Chicago way” crooked politicians he and Obama and Blagojevich understand each other very well. They know business is business. Emanuel is not a rogue. He was acting on clear orders from The One, his Chicago style mob boss.

It seems very possible that Emanuel won’t survive this scandal. He won’t go to jail. He might not be publicly disgraced, but he’ll have to either publicly or tacitly admit he went rogue. Since “rogues” don’t work at the top levels of party politics Rahm Emanuel’s future may be in doubt. What is not doubtful is his conduct. He didn’t act as a rouge. Chicago crooks don’t go rogue.

Those who think Obama will just walk away from this are wrong. No, we won’t see his name in the caption of a federal indictment, but he will be hurt for sure. Since unions are involved in this scandal our side should be able to use it to fight and maybe kill the union thug/Democrat scheme to unionize the whole country. We need about fifteen months before the issue will bleed into the next cycle. Let’s see how eager the so called “Blue dog” Democrats are to vote for card check after this plays out.

The Obama administration is already hearing demands from far Left groups looking to tear down our America and re- make it into a gray faceless Soviet style “socialist people’s paradise.” Their demands will be heard and be met.

They will force openly gay volunteers to be accepted in our military.

They will wipe away remaining prohibitions against felons voting, something this column warned about in 2000.

Abortions up to partial birth will be paid for by “free” government medical programs. Infanticide will be “rare but legal” as it will be presented in Obama-speak.

Imaginary pay inequities will be “fixed” at the expense of actual productivity.

Gay “marriage” will be made the law of the land by executive order.

To legitimize it, the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force will be quoted daily.

Demands on America’s socialist administration are coming from beyond our shores.

Already the Chinese are “urging” Americans to “alter [our] lifestyles” and not let a little thing like a recession stop America from living up to the Kyoto Treaty we have repudiated and have not responsibilities toward.

The Chinese are already lecturing Barack Obama to abandon our “unsustainable way of life” and spend our money on fixing the imaginary global warming hoax.

Emboldened by the election of an American socialist, the Chinese “proposed” that rich nations spend one percent of our wealth cleaning up their climatic messes while they spend their money on weapons to destroy us.

Already, the Chinese are using phrases like “obligation to respond to global climate change” and “unsustainable way of life” to give the oh- so- willing Barack Obama his orders.

Those who giddily voted for change will get it very soon. The problem is, so will those of us wise enough to think before handing our lives over to a socialist “community organizer.”

If we don’t stop the socialist now, we might not win this fight for a long time.
