They really rip Obama a new one with this:
------
Barack Obama's Stealth Socialism
Before friendly audiences, Barack Obama speaks passionately about something called "economic justice." He uses the term obliquely, though, speaking in code socialist code.
During his NAACP speech earlier this month, Sen. Obama repeated the term at least four times. "I've been working my entire adult life to help build an America where economic justice is being served," he said at the group's 99th annual convention in Cincinnati.
And as president, "we'll ensure that economic justice is served," he asserted. "That's what this election is about." Obama never spelled out the meaning of the term, but he didn't have to. His audience knew what he meant, judging from its thumping approval.
It's the rest of the public that remains in the dark, which is why we're launching this special educational series.
"Economic justice" simply means punishing the successful and redistributing their wealth by government fiat. It's a euphemism for socialism.
In the past, such rhetoric was just that rhetoric. But Obama's positioning himself with alarming stealth to put that rhetoric into action on a scale not seen since the birth of the welfare state.
In his latest memoir he shares that he'd like to "recast" the welfare net that FDR and LBJ cast while rolling back what he derisively calls the "winner-take-all" market economy that Ronald Reagan reignited (with record gains in living standards for all).
Obama also talks about "restoring fairness to the economy," code for soaking the "rich" a segment of society he fails to understand that includes mom-and-pop businesses filing individual tax returns.
It's clear from a close reading of his two books that he's a firm believer in class envy. He assumes the economy is a fixed pie, whereby the successful only get rich at the expense of the poor.
Following this discredited Marxist model, he believes government must step in and redistribute pieces of the pie. That requires massive transfers of wealth through government taxing and spending, a return to the entitlement days of old.
Of course, Obama is too smart to try to smuggle such hoary collectivist garbage through the front door. He's disguising the wealth transfers as "investments" "to make America more competitive," he says, or "that give us a fighting chance," whatever that means.
Among his proposed "investments":
"Universal," "guaranteed" health care.
"Free" college tuition.
"Universal national service" (a la Havana).
"Universal 401(k)s" (in which the government would match contributions made by "low- and moderate-income families").
"Free" job training (even for criminals).
"Wage insurance" (to supplement dislocated union workers' old income levels).
"Free" child care and "universal" preschool.
More subsidized public housing.
A fatter earned income tax credit for "working poor."
And even a Global Poverty Act that amounts to a Marshall Plan for the Third World, first and foremost Africa.
His new New Deal also guarantees a "living wage," with a $10 minimum wage indexed to inflation; and "fair trade" and "fair labor practices," with breaks for "patriot employers" who cow-tow to unions, and sticks for "nonpatriot" companies that don't.
That's just for starters first-term stuff.
Obama doesn't stop with socialized health care. He wants to socialize your entire human resources department from payrolls to pensions. His social-microengineering even extends to mandating all employers provide seven paid sick days per year to salary and hourly workers alike.
You can see why Obama was ranked, hands-down, the most liberal member of the Senate by the National Journal. Some, including colleague and presidential challenger John McCain, think he's the most liberal member in Congress.
But could he really be "more left," as McCain recently remarked, than self-described socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (for whom Obama has openly campaigned, even making a special trip to Vermont to rally voters)?
Obama's voting record, going back to his days in the Illinois statehouse, says yes. His career path and those who guided it leads to the same unsettling conclusion.
The seeds of his far-left ideology were planted in his formative years as a teenager in Hawaii and they were far more radical than any biography or profile in the media has portrayed.
A careful reading of Obama's first memoir, "Dreams From My Father," reveals that his childhood mentor up to age 18 a man he cryptically refers to as "Frank" was none other than the late communist Frank Marshall Davis, who fled Chicago after the FBI and Congress opened investigations into his "subversive," "un-American activities."
As Obama was preparing to head off to college, he sat at Davis' feet in his Waikiki bungalow for nightly bull sessions. Davis plied his impressionable guest with liberal doses of whiskey and advice, including: Never trust the white establishment.
"They'll train you so good," he said, "you'll start believing what they tell you about equal opportunity and the American way and all that sh**."
After college, where he palled around with Marxist professors and took in socialist conferences "for inspiration," Obama followed in Davis' footsteps, becoming a "community organizer" in Chicago.
His boss there was Gerald Kellman, whose identity Obama also tries to hide in his book. Turns out Kellman's a disciple of the late Saul "The Red" Alinsky, a hard-boiled Chicago socialist who wrote the "Rules for Radicals" and agitated for social revolution in America.
The Chicago-based Woods Fund provided Kellman with his original $25,000 to hire Obama. In turn, Obama would later serve on the Woods board with terrorist Bill Ayers of the Weather Underground. Ayers was one of Obama's early political supporters.
After three years agitating with marginal success for more welfare programs in South Side Chicago, Obama decided he would need to study law to "bring about real change" on a large scale.
While at Harvard Law School, he still found time to hone his organizing skills. For example, he spent eight days in Los Angeles taking a national training course taught by Alinsky's Industrial Areas Foundation. With his newly minted law degree, he returned to Chicago to reapply as well as teach Alinsky's "agitation" tactics.
(A video-streamed bio on Obama's Web site includes a photo of him teaching in a University of Chicago classroom. If you freeze the frame and look closely at the blackboard Obama is writing on, you can make out the words "Power Analysis" and "Relationships Built on Self Interest" terms right out of Alinsky's rule book.)
Amid all this, Obama reunited with his late father's communist tribe in Kenya, the Luo, during trips to Africa.
As a Nairobi bureaucrat, Barack Hussein Obama Sr., a Harvard-educated economist, grew to challenge the ruling pro-Western government for not being socialist enough. In an eight-page scholarly paper published in 1965, he argued for eliminating private farming and nationalizing businesses "owned by Asians and Europeans."
His ideas for communist-style expropriation didn't stop there. He also proposed massive taxes on the rich to "redistribute our economic gains to the benefit of all."
"Theoretically, there is nothing that can stop the government from taxing 100% of income so long as the people get benefits from the government commensurate with their income which is taxed," Obama Sr. wrote. "I do not see why the government cannot tax those who have more and syphon some of these revenues into savings which can be utilized in investment for future development."
Taxes and "investment" . . . the fruit truly does not fall far from the vine.
(Voters might also be interested to know that Obama, the supposed straight shooter, does not once mention his father's communist leanings in an entire book dedicated to his memory.)
In Kenya's recent civil unrest, Obama privately phoned the leader of the opposition Luo tribe, Raila Odinga, to voice his support. Odinga is so committed to communism he named his oldest son after Fidel Castro.
With his African identity sewn up, Obama returned to Chicago and fell under the spell of an Afrocentric pastor. It was a natural attraction. The Rev. Jeremiah Wright preaches a Marxist version of Christianity called "black liberation theology" and has supported the communists in Cuba, Nicaragua and elsewhere.
Obama joined Wright's militant church, pledging allegiance to a system of "black values" that demonizes white "middle classness" and other mainstream pursuits.
(Obama in his first book, published in 1995, calls such values "sensible." There's no mention of them in his new book.)
With the large church behind him, Obama decided to run for political office, where he could organize for "change" more effectively. "As an elected official," he said, "I could bring church and community leaders together easier than I could as a community organizer or lawyer."
He could also exercise real, top-down power, the kind that grass-roots activists lack. Alinsky would be proud.
Throughout his career, Obama has worked closely with a network of stone-cold socialists and full-blown communists striving for "economic justice."
He's been traveling in an orbit of collectivism that runs from Nairobi to Honolulu, and on through Chicago to Washington.
Yet a recent AP poll found that only 6% of Americans would describe Obama as "liberal," let alone socialist.
Public opinion polls usually reflect media opinion, and the media by and large have portrayed Obama as a moderate "outsider" (the No. 1 term survey respondents associate him with) who will bring a "breath of fresh air" to Washington.
The few who have drilled down on his radical roots have tended to downplay or pooh-pooh them. Even skeptics have failed to connect the dots for fear of being called the dreaded "r" word.
But too much is at stake in this election to continue mincing words.
Both a historic banking crisis and 1970s-style stagflation loom over the economy. Democrats, who already control Congress, now threaten to filibuster-proof the Senate in what could be a watershed election for them at both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue.
A perfect storm of statism is forming, and our economic freedoms are at serious risk.
Those who care less about looking politically correct than preserving the free-market individualism that's made this country great have to start calling things by their proper name to avert long-term disaster.

Clearly Obama is the most radical candidate to ever run for public office, especially the highest office in our country. What stands out is the fact that he was indoctrinated in the hate whitey agenda very early in his life. He loathes the capitalistic and social mores of a free society and intends to "redistribute the wealth" in every way possible. What people fail to see through their rose colored glasses is that the minority population has been given countless opportunities to take advantage of education (myriad social programs for school and college), business (programs for minority business), and any other endeavor they wish to pursue.
The inner city high school drop out rate is astronomical, and they want to be hired in professional positions when they cannot even speak proper English. A fact is a fact. They do not take advantage of the minority business loans because they have no idea how to navigate through the channels needed to procure the loans. If they were to be afforded business loans, most do not have the knowledge it takes to properly operate a small business, because of lack of education - which is due to their own choices. Nobody makes these kids drop out of high school, other than peers and societal norms that have become accepted as their way of life. They do not even try to break the mold. All the talk of how inferior the schools are is not an acceptable excuse. Most of these teachers in the inner city schools are black, and saying that the schools are inferior is the same as saying the teachers have not been properly educated in order to perform their duties, or is to impugn their intelligence and basic qualifications. If the blacks are not holding up their end in educating these students then what does that say about the school system and black population in general? Rarely do you see a white instructor in the inner city.
What more can we give? How much more latitude do we have to extend to help these children excel? They have after school programs funded by government grants, free lunches, college grants, business loans for minorities, affirmative action programs in hiring and granting contracts for services, free health care, and free clinics. What more, what more? |

Great article. From Obama's Berlin speech :
"The walls between the countries with the most and those with the least cannot stand. ... These now are the walls we must tear down."
He's not just about taking from rich Americans and giving to poor Americans. He wants to take away from all Americans and give away what we've got to other countries. |

Very good post OP. People need to know the candidates agendas, and secretive backgrounds cannot be allowed. Considering how fanatical some of his fans have become, I think it brave of you to post it!
Don't let the "r" word get to you.
This is first and foremost an election! Men we are entrusting our country to in the midst of dire multiple and on going crisis. ALL sectors of America have felt the brunt of the deep deceit of the government over the last decades. We must ALWAYS expose, evaluate, and CONTEMPLATE our elected officials and the laws and executive orders and VOTING they do. We must ALWAYS check ALL the background data on personalities, character, political views and PAST ASSOCIATIONS for our CANIDATES.

Just passing on an informative article. I think IBD are the ones being brave. They laid it all out there for everyone to see. And it's all verifiably true.
I'm never afraid of the "r" word. It has become expected for that card to be dealt from the bottom of the deck anytime you criticize a black person. Even when 100% of it is true and you can prove it. It happens every time. When you can't win on principle, just scream racism and the white people run for the hills. Fuck that.
I don't care what color this guy is. He's an excellent public speaker. I'll give him that. He's so good that most people don't listen to what he's actually saying.
I'm not afraid of the "r" word. It's the "m" word and "s" word that bothers me. (Marxist, Socialist) But you won't hear those words from Obama. You have to read between the lines even though it's staring you straight in the face.
Like I said, He's good. Really good. Better than Clinton.

Our society has been moving to the right since 1980. We have either had a "conservative" president or a "conservative" congress since then.
Nixon, who established the EPA by the way, wouldn't be allowed in the modern-day republican party. Neither would Truman, Teddy Roosevelt or Lincoln. Or George HW, for that matter.
They would all be considered "too liberal."
Investor's Business Daily is just another rag catering to the top 2% and the wannabees.
We have major problems in this country. We can either all work together to solve the problems and save our middle class or we can solve our problems with guillotines.
Your choice.

The reason this is not the case goes back into history.
An interesting book to read regarding our situation is Howard Zinn's "A People's History of the United States."
We have come together as a country before. We are going to have to again. There are strong forces that are trying to prevent this . . . who want to turn us into a third-world country. They have used modern marketing techniques to do so and it has worked for quite a long time. |

I have researched this bill. It is an $87 billion bill that Congress (and the president) committed to a few years ago as part of a G8 plan to fight world-wide poverty and Obama tried to speed it along. The G8 pulled back this year.
I don't think it's fair to lay this at Obama's feet. He didn't dream this commitment up.
And of course, Hillary supported this bill. |

I still like the old coot, though. And I have an admiration for Sam Walston. Not his kids though. They're a good example of why we need an estate tax.
I think that's a huge part of our problem. We are losing people who went through the Great Depression. We've lost that sensibility of work hard, use what you have wisely, help your neighbors.
Now we have work hard, throw crap away and screw your neighbors. |

408384, No this is not about any previous bill. This is what Nobama has used in his campaign. His own words. to be more specific, he wants to send more than $750,000,000 to Africa in aid. This is damned close to a trillion dollars, and knowing how politicians deliberately underestimate, to call it 1 Trillion Dollars is no doubt closer to his plan, if not more.
Why the hell should we go into more debt, in those extreme amounts to Africa ?
We are a bankrupt nation. We need at least that much, or more right here. We don't have it to send anywhere. We don't have it to spend here.
We have hungry kids, hungry people right here. We need aid. We need to take care of our own first. And we can't afford to.
If anyone wants to put up a candidate who will say, "No more aid to anyone, or any foreign nation. No more money spent to make war. If there are trouble spots in the world requiring military, that country, or the UN is responsible for action. We are not, and never were inteneded to be the bank & police for the planet.
No more imports beyond what we export.
No more outsourcing. No more breaks for the oil companies and major corporations who have sold us out. Uncap the wells that have been drilled, and yes that includes offshore. If you didn't know we've always drilled and brought in wells offshore, you need to visit the Gulf of Mexico. There are so many people drilling offshore, living offshore from this area, it would make your head spin.
Fines and heavy dues to pay for any corporation US based that sends it's manufacturing out of country. In fact, we need a goverment boycott of these companies.
Perks and help to homegrown companies employing American citizens, at good wages, with good benefits, taken from the illegal & excess profits of the crooked corporations.
No more spec markets. No more commodities markets.
Price based on consumer market demand only.
No more food commodities shipped out, unless our food storage amounts are built back to several years of surplus.
No food commodities shipped out as long as we have hungry citizens.
No more aid to illegals.
No more earmarks, line items, lobbyists.
Find that candidate, and I'll vote for her or him. |

Why not raise the minimum wage to $50? How about $100? The result will be the same: Massive unemployment and inflation.
But economics have never been the strong suit of socialists.

For those who are not of the black...ooops, African American, race...who are "whitey", and who support this man, I dare say you'll get your just desserts. He hates his white ancestry and more than adores his black and islamic ancestry.
Those who happen to make over the 2008 Federal Poverty Guidelines ($21,200 for a family of 4), be prepared to be knocked down several tens of thousands of $$ as he redistributes YOUR wealth to those below the level (for whatever reason, but generally because they are either lazy or uneducated). And never mind getting to college, because only the disadvantaged, according to Obama's definition, will be entitled.
I bet Obama wont be cutting and redistributing his own and our reps wealth, eh? I bet he wont be bringing himself and those in high places down to poverty level! I bet he wont institute 99% of what he says, at least not for the better of ALL America... He is BUYING votes, plain and simple, through deceit...and when he has bought them up, he will discard them just like nearly every politician does.
He has his supporters hypnotized, much like Bentley has his followers. This man is pure evil, his agenda far from benevolent, and his ambitions are extremely dangerous to this once great Republic.
McCain is no better, so dont even go there. McCain will be more of the same, but Obama will bring about such a drastic change (NOT for the better!) to this country, you'll soon be astonished at how history repeats itself. Obama is seen as a Mullah, dont let him fool ya. All of Arabia and all the Islamic states see this man as the long awaited defeater of the "Great Satan" and the unbelievers. |

 For those truely interested, go to "www.blunt.fm" there is a man who discerns from the Lord God, he talks of the U.S. presidential candidates and their inner belief whether they have an inner belief in God. It is truely interesting. Only from this can you decide for yourself with out all the media news. This site is out of canada as I understand it. LoL! |
