Posts Tagged ‘Barack Obama’

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.

I’ll follow up my investigation of Barack H. Obama with an analysis offered by Wayne Allyn Root, a classmate of Obama’s at Columbia University, class of 1983. Root stated that Obama knows exactly what he is doing. “He is purposely overwhelming the U.S. economy to create systemic failure, economic crisis and social chaos – thereby destroying capitalism and our country from within.“

Obama is following the plan of Cloward & Piven, two professors at Columbia University. They outlined a plan to socialize America by overwhelming the system with government spending and entitlement demands. The clues are both alarming and brilliant, a Machiavellian game plan to turn the U.S. into a socialist/Marxist state with a permanent majority that needs government to survive by voting for it without the responsibility to pay for it.

1) Universal Health Care. The health care bill has very little to do with health care. It has everything to do with unionizing millions of hospital and health care workers, as well as adding 15,000 to 20,000 new IRS agents who will also join unions. He doesn’t care about the cost. He does care that it cements the dependence of 30 million voters to Democrats and big government.

2) Cap and Trade. Cap and trade has nothing to do with global warming. It has everything to do with redistribution of income, installing government control of the economy and providing a criminal payoff to Obama’s biggest contributors. The powerful and wealthy unions will continue to support everything Obama wants.

3) Puerto Rico A State. Nobody is asking for this, but Obama sees millions of new welfare recipients, two new Democratic senators, five Democratic congressmen and a million loyal Democratic voters who are dependent on big government.

4) Legalize Immigrants. Just giving in excess of 12 million new citizens free health care alone could overwhelm the system and bankrupt America. But they are also in excess of 12 million Democratic voters to continue to support big government. The trillions of dollars for all of their benefits piles on more debt.

More In Two Weeks

Part three in the series of video fisks of President Obama’s “immigration speech.” Lots of squirrels and straw men. Few (if any) substantive policy proposals or solutions to problems.

In 2008, General Patraeus delivered a report to Congress about how the war in Iraq was progressing.  Many Democrats called him a liar before he uttered a single word.  Now these same democrats sing his praises.  The first video in this playlist sets up the video clips that follow.

 

Two men shot earlier this week could be the result of the ongoing battle between Mexican drug cartels now spilling over deep into Arizona, officials say.  Pinal County investigators say an area known as the smuggling corridor now stretches from Mexico’s border to metro Phoenix.  The area, once an area for family hiking and off road vehicles has government signs warning residents of the drug and human smugglers.  Night vision cameras have photographed cartel members with military arms delivering drugs to vehicles along Highway 8.

“We are three counties deep. How is it that you see pictures like these, not American with semi and fully automatic rifles. How is that okay?” asked Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu.  Babeu said he no longer has control over parts of his county.

“We are outgunned, we are out manned and we don’t have the resources here locally to fight this,” he said at a Friday news conference.  Five weeks ago Deputy Louie Puroll was ambushed and shot as he tracked six drug smugglers.  Sheriff Babeu said the ambush mirrored military tactics.

OF COURSE it’s Bush’s fault.  Was there any doubt?  Will there ever come a time when this man accepts responsibility for anything?  Anything negative, I mean.

Doubtful.

President Barack Obama:

But the thing is though, you have to love some of the pundits in Washington. Everying single day since I signed the [Obamacare] reform law, there’s been another poll or headline that said “Nation still divided on health care reform – polls haven’t changed yet!”

We’ll yeah. It just happend last week. It’s only been a week!

But if polls would have soared through the roof, heh. Well, the president would be everywhere.

Last week, the Tip of Texas Tea Party protested against ObamaCare outside the local office of US Representative Solomon P. Ortiz (D-Corpus Christi, TX). A block away on the corner of FM 802 and Paredes Line Road, Coffee Partiers protested for ObamaCare. Noticing the lack of attention, they joined us.

None other than Democratic Party county chairman Gilberto Hinojosa led the Coffee Party. Does his presence with known Democrat operatives mean the Democrats are the Coffee Party? Recall the meme of Tea Parties consisting solely of angry Republicans and served as basis for Rio Grande Guardian‘s questions to us. Did Republican Chairman Frank Morris protest? No. For the record, Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians, and Independents make up our group.

American Thinker: The Progressives’ Perfect Trojan Horse.

Obama has gotten away with his blatantly tyrannical, unconstitutional, radical agenda simply because he is black.

(From the Heritage Foundation)
Posted By Conn Carroll On January 28, 2010

The more things change, the more things stay the same. A little over a year ago, President Barack Obama came to office expecting to pass a “big bang” of policy changes all in the first year: health care, cap-and-trade, and banking regulation. With the big-bang strategy officially a failure , President Obama’s State of the Union address last night desperately tried to keep all of these legislative efforts alive while also acknowledging that the country has firmly rejected his policy agenda.

    The U.S. Department of Transportation imposed new regulations on airlines Jan. 24 that were supposed to benefit consumers.

Some consumers might be […]

  • For Now, Government Still Lets You Pick Your Own Roommate February 4, 2012
    The people of the United States ordained a Constitution of limited government.  As time passes, the people have more of the “government” and less of the “limited.”  Americans must work at maintaining their freedoms.  Defense of the constitutional freedom of association involved in choosing roommates to share housing illustrates the effort required.  Governme […]

  • The Voter ID Battle January 5, 2012
    Exit polls in Iowa showed that regardless of whom the Republican caucus voters were supporting, their motivation was to beat President Obama. Liberals understand this, and they have launched a “Voter ID” battle to counter the energized conservative voters in the 2012 election. It has become increasingly obvious that liberals are going to do whatever […]

  • Protecting the Party Rather than Protecting American Citizens January 3, 2012
    Last week, several south Texas law enforcement officials protected the Democratic Party and the Obama Administration’s failed border security policies, rather than speak out to protect American citizens. Using a White House roundtable and Democratic forum, these law enforcement officials claimed the U.S.-Mexico border region is not turning into a war zone. O […]
