Today, California Rep. Maxine Waters called on president Obama to keep pushing for public option and called some anti-public option “Neanderthals.” Maxine Waters is a profound disappointment. She is the person who publicly called for the nationalization of, actually for “socializing,” oil companies for the prices to come down. Here’s the video:

Can we call her a socialist? Yes we can! It should come as no surprise to conservatives everywhere that any time there is some financial problem, the Democrats, and sometimes the Republicans too, offer the same-old, tired prescription that they have always offered: more government control. But I digress. Waters is a piece of work. I guess that whenever a Senator exercises their God-given, Constitutional right to disagree with the President, according to Maxine Waters, that Senator is a “Neanderthal.” Or maybe it’s something else?

Here is a letter from Maxine Waters to the leader of Communism in the western hemisphere, Fidel Castro, where she apologizes for voting on a resolution that requests the extradition of a Black Panther fugitive who is wanted for murder, bank robbery, and kidnapping who is currently being granted asylum in Cuba. What is amazing about this letter is that she humbles herself before a mass murdering dictator, complaining about the Republican Party, and defends someone who is accused of multiple federal crimes, including murder. Her excuse is that sovereign nations have the legitimate right to grant political asylum (she regards murder a “political” act it seems) and she does not want to infringe on that… but is she being honest? During the whole Elian Gonzalez fiasco, I don’t remember her saying that the United States had the right to grant the child asylum, in fact, she said the opposite, that the Elian issue needed to be decided by parental rights and not any “right” of a sovereign nation to grant asylum. So she believes that a child escaping Castro’s gulag needs to be sent back to be re-educated while a suspected bank robber, kidnapper, and murderer should remain living in safety. Makes sense, don’t it?

Elian looks happy right?

It makes sense if you understand why Maxine Waters thinks that anti-public option senators are Neanderthals while she goes on repeated visits to see Fidel Castro in Cuba. Seriously, of what worth is her opinion if she believes that the totalitarian, mass murdering leader of communist Cuba is a decent human being, while senators that are opposed to increased government intrusion in the economy, senators opposed to socialism, are supposedly subhuman? From Stalin’s war on kulaks to Hitler’s rampant antisemitism to Castro’s demonization of exile “gusanos” (worms), totalitarian regimes use dehumanization as a technique to oppress particular segments of their populations and this is the very technique that Waters is currently employing by branding opposition senators as subhuman. Socialists and communists have used these tactics for more than a century, name-calling and dehumanization. I am sick and tired of liberals genuflecting before portraits of Castro and Che Guevara while they try to trample over the Constitution en masse. I am sick and tired of Maxine Waters, Castro apologist and socialist. Maxine Waters needs to look in the mirror and consider who the real Neanderthal is…
