Archive for the ‘Obama’s Radicals’ Category

By Chris Rowan

American Thinker is my favorite place to go for thoughtful conservative commentary. Sometimes, the comments that follow a piece are just as interesting as the article itself. The comment below followed an article by George Picard titled “Obama’s Racial Spoil System.” It is an excellent article, but what really caught my attention was this comment:

Stanley Kurtz coined a term to describe Barack Obama’s modus operandi as a state senator. He gave him the moniker Senator Stealth. One way of understanding Barack Obama’s stealthiness and capacity for hiding and befogging is that he is psychologically Islamic. Christianity calls for a boldness and directness of expression — the yea that is yea. However, Islamic doctrine is less straightforward. For example, the Islamic doctrine of taqiya means concealing or disguising one’s beliefs, convictions, ideas, feelings, opinions, and/or strategies at a time of imminent danger, whether now or later in time, to save oneself from physical and/or mental injury. It is impossible to imagine Barack Obama bravely leading soldiers in battle, but he has demonstrated an affinity for drone weapons. Does this affinity reflect his psychological incorporation of taqiya?

This theme of “otherness” in Obama is nothing new. But when you consider taqiya against the backdrop of Obama’s presidency so far, there are some interesting parallels. Twenty years of Jeremiah Wright had to have some effect.

A lot has happened since my last posting, and I wont’ even attempt to summarize everything up to now. But for me, the most significant news item in the last few weeks has been Weinergate. Anthony Weiner finally resigned from Congress the other day, and good riddance to bad rubbish.

The fact that Democrat Congressmen can still be shamed out of office gives me hope. I’m not hopeful that LibProg Dems will ever become moral creatures. I’m hopeful, not delusional. What sustains me is the thought that Weiner’s antics are still repulsive to many people; enough, anyway, to cause him to slink away to whatever rock he can crawl under. So there is still real hope for this country.

LibProg Dems, however, are a lost cause and simply must be defeated. There is no other option, no halfway “reaching across the aisle” crap. Creeping progressivism got us here, teetering on the edge of an economic precipice that threatens our way of life and the lives of succeeding generations of Americans far into the future. It’s just crazy. LibProgism is undiluted insanity.

The Rise of the LEFT Under OBAMA

Happy New Year???

My prediction for 2011 is that it will be dominated by federal regulatory excesses; so much so that the conventional wisdom that Obama is going to “move to the center” to “ensure his re-election” will, once again, be shown to be as misguided as ever.

The challenge to Republicans will be to expose this over-the-top regulation as the unconstitutional power grab it is, stop it, and make sure Obama gets appropriately tarnished as the LEFTIST he is in the process. We are going to witness so much outrageous regulatory abuse that it will be a huge challenge for Congress to keep on top of it.  And, to the extent Congress cannot meet this challenge, be prepared for considerable loss of freedom and significant increases in taxes masquerading as higher costs.This is not a hard prediction to make, since it has already started.  In the couple of weeks, we have:

Barack Obama is the nation’s first-ever Affirmative Action President. It should come as no surprise that President Obama’s pick for Attorney General, Eric Holder, would dispense Affirmative Justice.

Affirmative Action, simply put, seeks to correct past negative discrimination with positive discrimination. Call it “racial preference,” “employment equity,” “smiley-face discrimination,” or whatever, but Affirmative Action is basically a form of government-sanctioned discrimination that favors a particular group of people on the basis of some quality other than merit. This is not necessarily bad. Private employers do it all the time. My own father hired me on the basis of some quality other than merit – namely, the fact that I was his son. But he was not forced to hire me on the basis of some arbitrary federal quota, goal, or “guideline.” Such coercive measures are inevitably harmful both to people and institutions. The rule of unintended consequences applies.

One of the more comforting aspects of the major religions is the belief that there is justice in the hereafter and the wicked are ultimately punished. One of the reasons why so many people are willing to risk everything to come to the United States is the belief that we have a system of justice that is fair and impartial, so that even the very poor and politically unconnected can expect a modicum of justice in this country.

At least, that’s what I would like to believe. More importantly, that is what I would like to convey – with conviction – to my children. But it is getting harder and harder to suspend disbelief about our “impartial” judicial system. Read the rest of this entry »

(From American Thinker)

Stalinism” is a useful term for the totalitarian left — even to the left itself. It’s one word they haven’t been able to chew up, gulp down, and transform into its opposite. They still know what “Stalinist” means, even after generations of new names for the same community agitators: “The New Left,” “hippies,” “Black Panthers,” “youthful radicals,” “idealistic students,” “feminists,” “the workers,” “black nationalists,” “Third World socialists,” “the wretched of the earth,” “Green Party,” “Gay activists,” “LGBT,” “Global Warming,” “peace and freedom party,” “eco activists,” “civil rights campaigners,” “post-modernists,” “gender studies,” “J Street,” “Bolivarismo,” “ACORN,” “undocumented workers,” “Moveon.org,” “Liberation Theology” — there must be hundreds and hundreds of front labels for the Same-Old, Same-Old. They make up new ones all the time. This year’s fashionable lefty cult is called “progressivism!”

How can Hispanics believe that Democrats protect minorities better according to NBC/MSNBC/Telemundo poll?

President Barack Obama and Democrats support giving a federal circuit court promotion to an activist judge who believes a serial killer’s sexual sadism is a mitigating factor. Was federal judge Robert Chatigny supporting the Roadside Strangler because sexual sadists who happen to be serial killers are a minority? Or was the activist judge simply demonstrating empathy?

As Ace points out, “You’ve got to be really hardcore to bully the guy’s lawyer into signing a motion for a stay of execution that the client didn’t want but you wanted to sign.”

Please watch the whole video from Eyeblast Blog. It’s graphic in words, but it will tell you a lot about Obama and empathy politics.

Identity politics and empathy politics needs to stop especially in this new post-racial America. It’s unfathomable to hear Hispanic leaders like Commissioner Edward Camarillo claim illegal immigrants deserve an education in Brownsville. They say nothing about  children living outside of the school district deserving access to education in Brownsville. Don’t they deserve a Brownsville education? Don’t they deserve to be bused for free as well?

They further believe we gain a huge benefit in educating unselfish, innocent children of illegal immigrants. There is nothing unselfish about it.  They selfishly want access to our public schools. It’s just a coincidental byproduct that they may help our community. Something is wrong and flawed in their thinking.

This is to be expected from sheep who grow up in a Democrat home being told the white man is their enemy.  Local Hispanic Democrats are taken advantage of by state and national leadership. They will never stop being their boy. And for what? Oh yeah, they protect you from evil conservatives who want to deport you and your whole family just like they protect you from innocent serial killers.

Deplorable.  How can you fight an enemy you cannot even acknowledge exists?

Rush thinks the main reason Obama nominated Elena Kagan is because she is a mirror image of Obama. Rumor has it that she even plays basketball and smokes. Don’t look for any serious opposition from the Senate Democrats. They will nominate her because she’s an Obamatron. Qualifications are not nearly as important as ideology.

 New book reveals shocking truth about president’s radical associations.

Radical Islamic sympathasizer AG Eric Holder admits that the NYC bomber might not be associated with the Tea Party, but holds out that the establishment media may be able to pin the terror attack on Sarah Palin. “If all else fails, we can always blame it on Bush,” mused Holder.

I’m 63.  Except for one semester in college when jobs were scarce and a six-month period when I was between jobs, but job-hunting every day, I’ve worked, hard, since I was 18. Despite some health challenges, I still put in 50-hour weeks, and haven’t called in sick in seven or eight years. I make a good salary, but I didn’t inherit my job or my income, and I worked to get where I am. Given the economy, there’s no retirement in sight, and I’m tired. Very tired.  

I’m tired of being told that I have to “spread the wealth” to people who don’t have my work ethic. I’m tired of being told the government will take the money I earned, by force if necessary, and give it to people too lazy to earn it.  

I’m tired of being told that I have to pay more taxes to “keep people in their homes.”  Sure, if they lost their jobs or got sick, I’m willing to help. But if they bought McMansions at three times the price of our paid-off, $250,000 condo, on one-third of my salary, then let the left-wing Congress-critters who passed Fannie and Freddie and the Community Reinvestment Act that created the bubble help them with their own money. 

I’m tired of being told how bad  America  is by left-wing millionaires like Michael Moore, George Soros and Hollywood Entertainers who live in luxury because of the opportunities  America  offers. In thirty years, if they get their way, the United States  will have the economy of  Zimbabwe , the freedom of the press of  China , the crime and violence of  Mexico , the tolerance for Christian people of  Iran , and the freedom of speech of  Venezuela .

I’m tired of being told that Islam is a “Religion of Peace,” when every day I can read dozens of stories of Muslim men killing their sisters, wives and daughters for their family “honor”; of Muslims rioting over some slight offense; of Muslims murdering Christian and Jews because they aren’t “believers”; of Muslims burning schools for girls; of Muslims stoning teenage rape victims to death for “adultery”; of Muslims mutilating the genitals of little girls; all in the name of Allah, because the Qur’an and Shari’a law tells them to.  

I’m tired of being told that “race doesn’t matter” in the post-racial world of Obama, when it’s all that matters in affirmative action jobs, lower college admission and graduation standards for minorities (harming them the most), government contract set-asides, tolerance for the ghetto culture of violence and fatherless children that hurts minorities more than anyone, and in the appointment of U.S. Senators from Illinois.  

I think it’s very cool that we have a black president and that a black child is doing her homework at the desk where Lincoln  wrote the Emancipation Proclamation. I just wish the black president was Condi Rice, or someone who believes more in freedom and the individual and less arrogantly of an all-knowing government.  

I’m tired of a news media that thinks Bush’s fundraising and inaugural expenses were obscene, but that think Obama’s, at triple the cost, were wonderful; that thinks Bush exercising daily was a waste of presidential time, but Obama exercising is a great example for the public to control weight and stress; that picked over every line of Bush’s military records, but never demanded that Kerry release his; that slammed Palin, with two years as governor, for being too inexperienced for VP, but touted Obama with three years as senator as potentially the best president ever. Wonder why people are dropping their subscriptions or switching to Fox News?  Get a clue. I didn’t vote for Bush in 2000, but the media and Kerry drove me to his camp in 2004.  

I’m tired of being told that out of “tolerance for other cultures” we must let  Saudi Arabia  use our oil money to fund mosques and madrassa Islamic schools to preach hate in  America , while no American group is allowed to fund a church, synagogue or religious school in  Saudi Arabia  to teach love and tolerance.  

I’m tired of being told I must lower my living standard to fight global warming, which no one is allowed to debate. My wife and I live in a two-bedroom apartment and carpool together five miles to our jobs. We also own a  three-bedroom condo where our daughter and granddaughter live. Our carbon footprint is about 5% of Al Gore’s, and if you’re greener than Gore, you’re green enough.  

I’m tired of being told that drug addicts have a disease, and I must help support and treat them, and pay for the damage they do. Did a giant germ rush out of a dark alley, grab them, and stuff white powder up their noses while they tried to fight it off? I don’t think Gay people choose to be Gay, but I damn sure think druggies chose to take drugs. And I’m tired of harassment from cool people treating me like a freak when I tell them I never tried marijuana.  

I’m tired of illegal aliens being called “undocumented workers,” especially the ones who aren’t working, but are living on welfare or crime. What’s next?  Calling drug dealers, “Undocumented Pharmacists”?  And, no,  I’m not against Hispanics. Most of them are Catholic, and it’s been a few hundred years since Catholics wanted to kill me for my religion.  I’m willing to fast track for citizenship any Hispanic person, who can speak English, doesn’t have a criminal record and who is self-supporting without family on welfare, or who serves honorably for three years in our military…. Those are the citizens we need.  

I’m tired of latte liberals and journalists, who would never wear the uniform of the Republic themselves, or let their entitlement-handicapped kids near a recruiting station, trashing our military. They and their kids can sit at home, never having to make split-second decisions under life and death circumstances, and bad mouth better people than themselves. Do bad things happen in war?  You bet. Do our troops sometimes misbehave?  Sure. Does this compare with the atrocities that were the policy of our enemies for the last fifty years and still are?  Not even close.  So here’s the deal. I’ll let myself be subjected to all the humiliation and abuse that was heaped on terrorists at Abu Ghraib or Gitmo, and the critics can let themselves be subject to captivity by the Muslims, who tortured and beheaded Daniel Pearl in Pakistan, or the Muslims who tortured and murdered Marine Lt. Col. William Higgins in Lebanon, or the Muslims who ran the blood-spattered Al Qaeda torture rooms our troops found in Iraq, or the Muslims who cut off the heads of schoolgirls in Indonesia, because the girls were Christian. Then we’ll compare notes. British and American soldiers are the only troops in history that civilians came to for help and handouts, instead of hiding from in fear.  

I’m tired of people telling me that their party has a corner on virtue and the other party has a corner on corruption. Read the papers; bums are bipartisan. And I’m tired of people telling me we need bipartisanship. I live in  Illinois , where the “Illinois Combine” of Democrats has worked to loot the public for years. Not to mention the tax cheats in Obama’s cabinet.  

I’m tired of hearing wealthy athletes, entertainers and politicians of both parties talking about innocent mistakes, stupid mistakes or youthful mistakes, when we all know they think their only mistake was getting caught. I’m tired of people with a sense of entitlement, rich or poor.  

Speaking of poor, I’m tired of hearing people with air-conditioned homes, color TVs and two cars called poor. The majority of Americans didn’t have that in 1970, but we didn’t know we were “poor.” The poverty pimps have to keep changing the definition of poor to keep the dollars flowing.  

I’m real tired of people who don’t take responsibility for their lives and actions. I’m tired of hearing them blame the government, or discrimination or big-whatever for their problems.  

Yes, I’m damn tired. But I’m also glad to be 63. Because, mostly, I’m not going to have to see the world these people are making. I’m just sorry for my granddaughter.  

Robert  A. Hall is a Marine  Vietnam  veteran who served five terms in the  Massachusetts   State  Senate.
