And this is a surprise you blind fooooolllllllssssssss! Wake the F up!

justme   February 16th, 2010 - 9:35 pm

So why speak out now? We figured out who he was….some of us before the election, most after. I am one who knew before…it was all there for everyone to see. I don’t think people would have believed you before…maybe that is why you arrived late to the party?!

About… oh… TWO YEARS too late?

No, this stuff about Obammy has been around as long as he has been in ‘public service.’

It was constantly reiterated during his 2 year campaign.

It’s just that at least 52% of voters didn’t believe it, didn’t hear it, or actually LIKED it!

So now the inmates run the asylum!

kmichaels   February 16th, 2010 - 9:37 pm

So then afterwards he either changed or hid it better.

kmichaels   February 16th, 2010 - 9:40 pm

More bad news for Obama …

Obama faces a 44-52 deficit among both all Americans and registered voters, according to a CNN/Opinion Research poll released Tuesday. Four percent had no opinion.

john   February 16th, 2010 - 9:41 pm

YA THINK? Besides CNN and every a hole I ever met, who was it that shoved this obama piece o crap down america’s throat?

Thor   February 16th, 2010 - 9:43 pm

Duh.

dwroberts   February 16th, 2010 - 9:49 pm

Absolutely NO possibility that this will appear anywhere in the lamestream media.

The one thing that characterizes ALL liberassholes is they HATE America. They may deny it, but you don’t have to dig very far in their conversation to discover how awful they think America is.

MarcusP   February 16th, 2010 - 9:54 pm

So at the next press question and answer, I’m sure a principled journalist will ask the simple question “Were you at one time, while in college at Occidental, a dedicated marxist”? I doubt it, but the question could lead to an interesting outcome no matter how Obama answered it. A shame we have no real journalism these days.

Guest   February 16th, 2010 - 9:56 pm

Was? By his own words, he chose the black radical marxist extremists in school.
Too bad we do not know how badly he did in school or how intelligent he really is. All we see is an audioanimatron. He got by via affirmative action, not on his own merit. He still is run by the man behind the curtain. Like Hillary, all his records have disappeared. No wonder some people wonder if he really is an American. In truth he is an anti-American, no matter where he was born. He hates America, he has already said that the US Constitution is a bunch of negatives and it gets in the way of his fundamentally transforming America.
He is one of the most radical people in the USA today. He is following the 1960’s script of “bring it all down brother” to a tee.

America…again

Bilderberg Society – made up of 150 elitist world financiers, leaders and billionaires!

Agenda – to bring about worldwide crisis to usher in the New World Order which they will run!

Puppets – past Presidents going back to Carter and before…both Clintons…both Bushes…Obama and in 2012…Perry!

Background:

David Rockefeller – active member of Bilderberg and Uncle of Senator Jay Rockefeller

———————————-

Speaking at the Sept. 23, 1994 United Nations Ambassadors’ dinner, David Rockefeller remarked,

“This present window of opportunity, during which a truly peaceful and interdependent world order might be built, will not be open for too long.” “We are on the verge of a global transformation. All we need is the right major crisis and the nations will accept the New World Order.” 38

———————————-

It has begun…America! The crisis was the financial crisis declared just at the end of the Bush era and the beginning of the Obama era…both their puppets!

Introduced as a crisis by Hank Paulson…member of the Bilderberg Society and Federal Reserve (financial arm of the Bilderberg) who handles every single dollar of our taxpayer money yet is not a US government agency!

———————————-

In addition…Slick Willie Clinton…trilateral member

The Trilateral Commission was founded in 1973 by David Rockefeller with Zbigniew Brzezinski as executive director, after Brzezinski published Between Two Ages, which became the blueprint for the TC. David read and appreciated his ideas, which included,

“Though Stalinism may have been a needless tragedy for both the Russian people and communism as an ideal, there is the intellectually tantalizing possibility that for the world at large it was, as we shall see, a blessing in disguise.”

“Marxism represents a further vital and creative stage in the maturing of man’s universal vision. Marxism is simultaneously a victory of the external man over the inner, passive man and a victory of reason over belief.”

“Such a society would be dominated by an elite whose claim to political power would rest on allegedly superior scientific know-how. Unhindered by the restraints of traditional liberal values, this elite would not hesitate to achieve its political ends by the latest modern techniques for influencing public behavior and keeping society under close surveillance and control.”

“The Soviet Union could have emerged as the standard-bearer of this century’s most influential system of thought and as the social model for resolving the key dilemmas facing modern man.” 33

1973 founding members of the Trilateral Commission also included Jimmy Carter, who chose Zbigniew Brzezinski as his National Security Adviser during his presidency. Brzezinski, also a member of the CFR, wrote in his Power & Principle: Memoirs of the National Security Advisor, 1977-1981, on page 49, “The new President’s specific views on foreign affairs–going beyond his desire for a foreign policy governed by humane and moral concerns–had been formed during his time with the Trilateral Commission. Contrary to the myth, the Trilateral Commission is not a conspiracy designed to dominate the world but genuinely strives to engage Americans, Western Europeans and Japanese in a common endeavor to shape a more cooperative world…”

On page 289, he wrote, ‘”Moreover, all the key foreign policy decision-makers of the Carter Administration had previously served in the Trilateral Commission….”

——————————-

Seeking to use Marxism…”influencing public behavior and keeping society under close surveillance and control.”

It didn’t work for Russia because they failed miserably at it…but it will be perfect for the New World Order?

——————————-

America…don’t believe me…do the research yourself…I did and found this information!

It is as plain as the nose on our faces.

They brought in Bilderberg Bush-Obama for one reason…to influence the masses…announce the financial crisis…and then to put into order all the trillion dollar debt to a COMMUNIST country…thereby setting us up to fall.

Then our fall would cause a domino affect throughout the world…ushering a worldwide crisis!

However, we “real” Americans have thwarted their plans and not gone along with the plan to destroy us from within!

We have put a ‘kink in their armor” so to speak!

Bilderberg Bush-Obama hasn’t proven to be the kind of puppet they anticipated…we see through him and them!

They had an agenda…deadlines for Obama to meet to destroy us from within…but it has not happened.

It is happening in other parts of the world like Greece…but not America because of “real” Americans fighting back!

America…we are in the biggest battle in the life of our Republic and we cannot give up now!

We must clean house of all the traitors to our government that have enabled Bilderberg to get such a hold in our nation…beginning with all the ‘mentally unstable’ Democratzi henchmen and all who voted with them to put our children and ‘their’ children into debt to COMMUNIST China!

Communism/Marxism is still alive and well and living in our government and we need to put an end to it at the polls this year…there will be no other time as this year!

They have an agenda…but we do too…and we will not fail as they have!

GOD BLESS AMERICA THE LAND OF THE FREE AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE…AND WE INTEND TO KEEP IT THAT WAY!

—————————————

AMERICA……“REMEMBER THE ALAMO“……AND DON’T BELIEVE THE NEGATIVE PROPAGANDA…IT IS JUST THAT!

JUST (18) MORE DAYS AND COUNTING TO PUT A CONSERVATIVE INTO THE GOVERNORSHIP OF TEXAS!

NOQTR4TR8RS   February 16th, 2010 - 10:21 pm

Of course he was a pure Marxist in 1980. He was a Marxist in 2008, and he is one in 2010.

It is well known among conservatives and Constitutionalists that our President had the full, enthusiastic and public support of the Communist Party USA in 2008. The trouble is that, thanks to:
1. An education system that has been infiltrated an corrupted by socialists
2. News media that is largely staffed by socialist political operatives and sympathizers, and that was for years unchallenged by voices from the center or right

and

3. Popular entertainment that is overwhelmingly left-wing biased and very politically active

a lot of voters never heard the message. Or if they did, it was delivered in a manner that made it sound like simple-minded name-calling from the lunatic fringe on the far right. Even the most influential neo-conservative pundits refrained from using the “C” word when referring to Obama, caving in to political correctness, and allowing themselves to be muzzled by the left for fear of being labeled “too extreme”. And sadly, many who heard the message and believed it, simply don’t perceive communism as a threat and hence, voted for him anyway. Many on the left and in the center are totally ignorant of our system of government, and the stark differences between our Constitutional Republic and Marxism. They fail to see the danger, and the fact that socialism is wholly incompatible with the basic structure of American society and government. The result is what we have, which is a war for the survival of the Republic. And astoundingly, many Americans STILL no not recognize that we are at war, right here, on our own soil, and that our Republic, and the liberty that it guarantees, is in grave peril.

For those who doubt that it was publicly known that Obama is a communist in 2008, here are some quotes from a election pamphlet I saved from the Communists Party USA’s own website in 2008. Keep in mind that the CPUSA did not run a candidate in ‘08, and the Democrat primaries were already decided. So they refer to Obama, and no one else:

“A new day is dawning. Our country is at a turning point. This is a time of great possibility.”

“A landslide vote on November 4 can open the way to recovery from the very deep wounds of the Bush administration…”

“Help make history. Talk with co-workers, neighbors, friends and family. Volunteer to knock on doors, make calls, get on-line to turnout a landslide defeat of the Republican ultra-right on November 4, and keep the movement going.”

Like it or not, President Obama was, and is, a communist.

you'll never hear this in the msm til...   February 16th, 2010 - 10:22 pm

Wait until this creep is out of office, and I’d bet anything that this kind of story will suddenly be everywhere you look. All the things he’s had hidden — like his school transcripts and so forth — it’ll all come out after it doesn’t matter anymore.

Emudude   February 16th, 2010 - 10:23 pm

Problem is, All of the People still supporting Obama are Marxist themselves and think that they are getting something from the Deal. Everyone in Congress Still Supporting Obama are going to get their Pockets Lined unless they wind up in Early Retirement, Prison, Gitmo or Worse.

Eileen for Freedom/Liberty   February 16th, 2010 - 10:26 pm

Here is a post I copied from the original Breitbart Broadcast post of a couple of days ago…

John C. Drew, Ph.D. February 14th, 2010 – 10:19 pm

I’m thankful to read through all of these comments and to learn that my observations of the young Obama’s commitment to Marxist thought have helped people make sense of his life story.

I don’t have a clue how to get this story into the mainstream media. For now, my strategy is to simply ask for your help in requesting that I be interviewed on radio or television shows. I’m happy to provide my straightforward and detailed comments not only on my observations on the young Barack Obama, but also my knowledge of his favorite Professor Roger Boesche, and of the cultural and intellectual atmosphere that Obama was part of at Occidental College.

I knew the Marxist professors, structural feminists and foreign students he talks about in Dreams of My Father. What Obama has failed to reveal is that he was in 100% agreement with those Marxist professors. I still think he owes it to us to explain how, if at all, his thinking changed…

truth   February 16th, 2010 - 10:33 pm

Obama will come to be known as one of the nations best snakeoil saleman. He’s slick, unsavory, unethical and morally bankrupt. Stuffing the ballot box, uneducated ignorant inner city types and dumb white people put him over the top and that in itself gave us the mess we have today.

NOQTR4TR8RS   February 16th, 2010 - 11:09 pm

It has always confounded me that we went to war in Korea, Vietnam, Grenada and elsewhere, spent trillions, and sacrificed scores of thousands of our best and brightest, all in the name of defeating the existential threat of communism. And yet we continue to allow these unabashed, avowed communists to continue to operate and flourish within our own borders; overtake our classrooms and campuses; convert our news rooms to propaganda outlets; pervert our entertainment into socialist infomercials; and even infiltrate the highest levels of our government – all in the name of “freedom”.

It’s exactly like defeating Hitler’s Nazis in WWII, and then electing Admiral Doenitz as POTUS after the ink dries on the surrender documents. It is utterly absurd.

Fab Murphy   February 16th, 2010 - 11:22 pm

This guy was selected a long time ago by the PTB. If Hillary was in on it she deserves an ‘Oscar’.

Sure, Hussein’s backstory didn’t stand much scrutiny. Sure, none of our finest Finemans ever explained who backed the Quisatz Haderach’s remarkable glide from Punahou to Occidental to Columbia to Harvard to Chicago to the state senate to the U.S. Senate to the White House. True, there was some oblique acknowledgment of his family’s radicalism, his strange mentoring by a Communist, Frank Marshall Davis, his admitted drug use, and the curious case of the editor of the Harvard Law Review who never quite managed to publish anything, although he probably shot plenty of hoops.

I saw this the day it was running in the past week — 45 min to hour long. Told me what I already knew, Obama is a full on marxist.

Dr. John Drew said he told networks, but they never got back to him. Just now he is getting attention. MSM knew, but hid the information by looking under every rock in Wasilla AK to keep attention from Obama’s past.

We’re gonna need more Tea !!

con job   February 17th, 2010 - 12:56 am

Sure, but he’s a “Free Market Communist” now.

This dude is a marxit and is already running for Sec Gen of the UN. That’s why he was campaigning in Europe and Middle East.

His signature bill in the Senate was to tax the USA a percentage of our GDP to give to the rest of the world via the UN — Oh yes, he did.

It was called the “global poverty act” and would give 2.5% of GDP, every year, to the UN. Or about, $250-300 billion every year.

Our money — to get him his next job — before he was even elected president.

before the election hannity was screaming at anyone who would listen that we dont know him.lame stream media would not ask any questions.maybe a blessing in disguise, made mom and pop wake up, and start the tea parties.we can now purge the system of these traitors,its not to late,and the commies are running out of time.

“Guest”, I agree with your comments completely. Apparently this guy tried to get this story out during the campaign but there was so much other stuff going on with Rev. Wright, and the Weather Underground connections, even Fox balked at it. Has anyone else noticed how ‘hard and fast’ all of this is coming? I mean, there are so MANY outrageous appointees, and tactics being forced through congress, and the house, it’s hard to keep up with it all. It is like a planned siege to take down this country!

Hello Fellow Americans: Great posts above.

America, let get America back to the people. Learn what’s going on and stand up for her. We do need reforms, but for it to work, it needs to come from WE THE PEOPLE, and not the people currently in Washington who keep trying to ram these unpopular laws through. God bless our Troops, God Bless America. Joe American 1776

I wonder if hearing all the anti-american hate talk from Reverand Wright (aka “Wrong”) whilst sitting in his church pew for 20 years made an indulable impression on young Obama which today guides his decisions and outlook?

I wonder why people paid no attention to this red flag we heard about from some talk radio hosts during his campaign.

I wonder why, given his background, why the Democrat Party nominated and supported this inexperienced clown imposer and ignored his background (or failed to investigate it).

I wonder why the media ignored his background and supported (ever cheered his on) for election, instead of doing their job to be watchdogs under our constitution.

Well as all the posters have said, the fact that Obama was a socialist was certainly apparent during the campaign. And of course the media ignored that because they had an agenda and they wanted him to be elected. His policies now that he’s been ‘elected’ certainly have also been the kind of big government decisions a socialist might make. ANd of course, there is the ‘blame America first apology tour’ certainly indicates that he still dislikes America. This is the biggest fraud that has ever been perpetuated on America. http://www.thefedupamerican.com

NOQTR4TR8RS   February 17th, 2010 - 8:08 am

@EEuro,

You are right when you say that many Americans don’t know what communism is. But I think it’s unfair to attack us as “the most stupid people on the planet”, and to damn our entire population to a Dark Age of communist control. Is it really fair to blame us for allowing to the cancer of socialism to progress unchecked, when it is obvious that it has been brought to us by design in slow, incremental steps, across generations? Given that socialists have a stranglehold on our education system, our news media, our entertainment our legal system, how do you propose that American learn of the evils of socialism?

You state that it was American bankers who brought communism to Russia and Eastern Europe decades ago. Let us, for the sake of argument, accept your assertion as 100% factual. So then, does not your wish for retributive justice, by allowing this Republic to be strangled under the jackboot of these 21st century Stalinists, amount to nothing more than blood guilt? We are Americans, the sons of our fathers. Since they, (all of them presumably), brought communism to Eastern Europe, then we should pay the penalty for their crimes. Is that your position? I hope not.

Remember that there are many of us in America who still are, and have been, vehemently opposed to what has happened to our country, and are willing to die to stop it, if necessary. But our enemy is powerful, determined, entrenched, and they have a big head start on us.

Respectfully submitted.

Snorklenose   February 17th, 2010 - 9:09 am

Oh my God! We are SOOOOOO screwed if we ignore this.

But, what really surprises me is how many people were so blind that they couldn’t see thru this “transparent” individual…WITHOUT having any of this information. Their sense of survival had been dulled by years of living off the fat of the land…never really having to defend themselves from this type of enemy attack. “Hope & Change” only meant more fat living for them.

BUT! Many in this country did see him for what he was, and voted against him. Our antenna were up; our “gut reactions” were working overtime; our sense of “something ain’t right here…” was in hyperdrive. We yelled, screamed and pleaded, but the lemmings ignored us, and walked right into the river…drowning in the KoolAid.

The good news? Many of these former lemmings have now regained their sight, and realizing what they’ve done, have joined the movement to rid this country of this boil on our neck.

Welcome folks! We got a lot of work to do to save this country.

My first suggestion? Impeach Obama!

EEuro you’re right! I saw a video on the tea party movement and they are the stupidest people ever, more stupid than these Obama bashers when they don’t even know what socialism is. if you ask them. it’s a stupid response. we should be saddened by our lack of world knowledge. but then again these Cons are nothing but hate-mongers and fear-monger, uneducated conspiracy theorist racist cons like this tea party.

I can’t see/hear the interview but I don’t need to. I knew what BHO was when he started running. The information was there but people passed it by and didn’t pay attention. It’s going to take some real house cleaning to get this country out of the socialism rut. I don’t know if anyone has the guts to do it. The Tea Party Movement is a good start …

Not all Democrats voted for this ego maniac. I live in a household of Democrats that voted Republican for the first time. I blame Obamas election on all the Republicans who stayed home cause McCain wasn’t conservative enough. Sometimes you have to take the devil you know over one with no record.

Blue Collar Todd   February 17th, 2010 - 11:34 am

During the GOP rap session over ObamaCare, President Obama made light of the fact that some think it is a Bolshevik plot to take over health care. My question is this: Obama may not be a Bolshevik Marxist, but is he a Menshevik Marxist?

James Madison   February 17th, 2010 - 11:43 am

It was no accident on the campaign trail when Obama said he had been to all 57 states, there are 57 islamic states in the world. It was no accident that he bowed to the saudi prince, muslims are required to bow to the supreme leader. The list of fun facts keeps going on and on.

That is the true example of racism.

Herb Sewell   February 17th, 2010 - 11:47 am

Doesnt surprise me, I personally believe Obama is a commie. But, his supporters will probably discredit stuff like this based on how long ago it is. The Dr that is being interviewed says early on that he too was a communist, but that he converted in the mid 80s. This interview wont be as useful as it could have been, its opponents will probably just say Obama changed too.

I’ve known this about BO from the beginning. Unfortunately, too many Americans were stupid enough to buy into the MSM-driven crap about “hope and change.” Many of us saw through this man, including Glenn Beck, who put out a parody song of Obama played to the anthem of the former USSR. My question now is, when will Americans wake up and realize what is being done to us? And when they wake up, will they have the guts to do what needs to be done to restore freedom before it’s too late?

This is no surprise! I’ve believed it, and worse, all along. It’s a shame that in the USA that this type of story is kept hidden. Some day all these stories will come out about this Marxist that lied his way into office. The blame for his election goes to all those lazy, easily-led voters that didn’t do their homework and we were so anxious for ‘hope and change’, they forgot to ask ‘What kind of change?” Barry even showed his hand to Joe the Plumber when he talked about wealth distribution, but still those that wanted a ‘change’ or a black president, turned a deaf ear to the facts. Now, a year into this catastrophic presidency, all The Messiah can do is blame Bush, make excuses, lie about the economy and continue to gas up Air Force One and fly off to campaign. I find it very arrogant and narcisstic that he’s calling his latest campaign a “Save the Senate Tour.” Does he still think he’s a rock star with his plunging numbers? He’s delusional and the sooner we can get rid of this piece of trash, the better off this country will be. I believe his ‘Save the Senate Tour’ will only be a kiss of death for those he is campaigning for. And in Las Vegas?? Didn’t this buffoon say we shouldn’t go to LV? I wonder what his teleprompter will tell him to say in LV. He’s a terrible embarrassment to this country and to himself!

Come election time we must make amends and boot their commie rear ends all the way to cuba and take back this country.

Lion of Kabul   February 17th, 2010 - 12:56 pm

The MSM did not report about his socialist America hating past in the run up to the elections, Those who knew didn’t vote for the empty suit but still hoped that once elected Hussein Obama would relies that he was an American first and do the right thing.

The American people let the fool do his thing for a year and have had enough and will flip the House in the midterms. Hussein is already a lame duck, it remains to be seen how much damage this Quisling can do until he is unceremoniously punted from the White House in 2012.

@samir

Your assertion that the terms “Marxist” and “socialist” are politically correct code words for “n1gg@r” is absurd on it’s face. The anger and fury you see here and elsewhere, with very few exceptions, have absolutely nothing to do with his skin color. They have everything to do with his hostility to the American Constitutional Republican form of government; his party’s colossal mishandling of our nations economy; and his utter hypocrisy relative to his promise of an honest, open, transparent, efficient and competent administration. You don’t have to look very far at all on this forum to see scathing criticism of Pelosi, Biden, Reid, McCain and many others who are as white as white gets.

Your presence here tells me that you believe that your ideas, and perhaps even your race, are superior to those of us here. I can accept that. However, your cheap shots and lack of any facts whatsoever to support your assertions tell me that you’re not nearly as smart as you think your are. No? Think I’m just another stupid, racist redneck? Then how about this:

I challenge you, samir, to stick around, and argue your positions here in a civil and respectful manner, using ONLY facts, logic, reason, and well-constructed arguments. I challenge you to refrain from the cheap, drive-by shots, and the ignorance and bigotry you’ve demonstrated here today. You may learn something from it, and so may we. I will communicate with you in a civil manner if you address me respectfully as well. If you accept, I have a few questions for you:

1. Do you believe that President Obama is a Marxist, a socialist, or a fascist?
2. If not, then what words would you use to describe his political ideology?
3. If he is not a follower of Marx, nor Trotsky, nor Mussolini, nor Alinsky, then who would you list as his influences? Who are Obama’s mentors and heroes?

Respectfully submitted.

American Progressive   February 17th, 2010 - 7:43 pm

Democratic-Socialism is the way of our future and can not be stopped, only slowed somewhat by the obstructionists, racists and haters on the right.

Richard   February 17th, 2010 - 8:02 pm

I read Dreams from my Father, and it pretty well exposes Obama as anti-white and anti American. He should have stayed in Africa or Indonesia with one or both of the men who called themselves his father. And you wonder why he’s screwed up? Read the book. Had he known he’d get elected he might not have had it published-it exposes his bigoted past.

Ed 'Lefty' Maubach   February 17th, 2010 - 8:30 pm

Oh, we’ll vote them out in November! I see desperation mounting, there is a strong possibility growing that there won’t be a vote in November. Then what do you do? And because “WE ARE AFRAID” it saddens me to say, by our complacent attitude..America is on the rotisserie of life, and we are almost done! If we won’t stand for our rights, we might as well put a welcome mat on our back!

@ American Progressive,

“Democratic-Socialism is the way of our future and can not be stopped”
On what do you base this assertion? What makes your vision of an American communist state our Manifest Destiny? I respectfully submit that the issue is still very much undecided.

“…the obstructionists, racists and haters on the right.”
When not in the political majority, can the left be accurately accused of being “obstructionist”?

“Capitalism is dead.”
Rumors of the death of capitalism’s death are, in my opinion, greatly exaggerated. Is it in fact not on the rise, albeait slowly, in China, and not on the decline? Is there not a massive grassroots movement afoot in this country intent on restoring free market principles to our economy, and insisting that the “too-big-to-fails”, in fact be allowed to fail?

“The white race is dying.”
At whose hands? Are you helping to stop the genocide, or are you gleefully celebrating their demise?

“DEAL WITH IT & MOVE ON!”
The time is fast approaching when patriots of all races, sexes and creeds, who support our Constitution and who will accept nothing less, are going to do precisely that, my friend.

Kris   February 17th, 2010 - 9:04 pm

Come on now, people! All must bow down to President Soros, VPs Emmanuel and Axelrod. Barry is just the token Prez. He answers to the powerful Marxists in his Cabinet, while Georgie S calls the shots, giggling in the wings. Barry has no authority, he works for those truly in charge.

Some peeps have been screaming about Barry’s radical ties, 2 years and counting. Soros and crew made sure the MSM kept on point. This is the result of 40 years, my friends. Now that you are aware of our problem, what are patriotic Americans going to do? Shall we cave to the neo-Marxism? I pray not.

Be acutely aware of our enemies, they lie Within.

The Baron   February 17th, 2010 - 9:53 pm

There are people like Larry Kudlow and many others who were Marxist radicals in their youth but who publicly renounced that philosophy as they matured and who became outspoken conservatives. Barack Obama has not spoken of making any such transition, and his actions since taking office are consistent with that of someone who has a far left agenda. It is therefore reasonable to conclude that he still holds to his Marxist beliefs.

The grim reality that we are faced with is that the American people have elected the real Manchurian Candidate.

CONFESSION AND FULL DISCLOSURE: I voted for Obama and I’d do it again.

Now, having said that, I am under NO illusions that Obama is/was inspirationally gifted, messianic, prescient, or more insightful than any other human who would run for President.

It does not surprise me in the least that he has troubled past or unclear philosophies. I dare say in American history, much the same could be said of other Presidents or candidates.

Yet, real prejudice continues. I’m not referring to racial but rather religious and political prejudice. Republicans had the best qualified candidate in Mitt Romney; look at his credentials and portfolio. Bigotry of the worse kind prevented him from the Republican candidacy. He wasn’t “right” enough. He wasn’t “conservative” enough. He wasn’t “Christian” enough.

Stop complaining. The result of this election and the possible abject failure of this presidency is the fault of the ultra-right, the ultra-so-called-Christian, and the ultra-bigot who can only envision a WASP as President. In your view, only certified super conservatives can govern.

It’s a cruel political reversal of history when Kennedy will be seen as conservative and Nixon as liberal.

Maybe you have not heard the audio tape of Obama himself saying how he sought out the black radical Marxist and other extremist groups while he was in college. Straight from Obama’s own mouth and it dove tails perfectly with what this guy is saying. And this guy also freely admits that he was a Marxist himself at the time so it’s not like he has always been an anti-communist (like we all should be!), he shared the experience as a fellow Marxist with Obama. Quit drinking the kool-aid, idiots like you put this anti-American progressive piece of c@ap in the most powerful position on the planet and it’s time people like you admit that either you share his anti-American views and still love him for it or admit that you were duped and that you will be part of the solution in correcting your error, which you have inflicted on those of us who knew he was a radical, by helping get him out of office and making sure he goes down in the history books as an enemy of the US who held the position of President!

Everyone can do something- whether we be rich or poor. We can tell our friends, family, do free blogs on the internet, send out fliers, join a grassroots party- be creative- spend 5-15 minutes a day. Do SOMETHING-ANYTHING to get us out of the evil we now find ourselves facing. DOING NOTHING WILL ONLY KEEP US IN THE GRIPS OF THIS EVIL COMMUNIST PHILOSOPHY. And WE ALL CAN DO SOMETHING!!!!!!!

We are dealing with it, all but one election since Obama’s election has gone to conservatives and November will be the beginning of the end for you commie scum followed by Obama’s one-term kick out the door in 2012 so the only one who will be moving on is your communist party.

Our Constitution is a conservative document giving the Federal government very limited powers and it is also the LAW OF THE LAND. The American public has been awoken by your communist enablers and the new American revolution has already begun.

Your rants about equality are baseless as we already have equality, “social justice” is just a leftist term to describe giving special rights for minorities over the majority populace (white people) which is itself racist, and of course the biggie, “redistribution of wealth” is the lefts legalizing the theft of wealth from the hard working producers who earned it and giving it to the lazy welfare left who didn’t. Of course Obama is already doing the last one, but he won’t get away with it for long as his power will be nullified come election time in NOV and I assure you that if he tries to set up a dictatorship and force his marxism on us he will learn why the Founding Fathers gave us the second amendment.

Republicans are the ones who have the reputation of being ignorant, unintelligent, uninformed, greedy politicians who only care about themselves, not the American public and would instantly give up there “morals” in a heart beat for any form of personal gain. Case in point, the Republican’s precious Scott Brown who says that he isn’t against abortion, despite that being one of the big issues the Republicans tote around. REPUBLICANS WILL NEVER DO ANYTHING ABOUT ABORTION. They just emphasize it as an issue when its convenient and down play it when it isn’t. The Republican party has become a joke.

@ samir

“I think throwing out words like “socialist” and “Marxist” against the first black president smacks of underhanded racism.”

I use those words routinely to describe this President, for no other reason than because they happen to be true. You clearly do not know the meaning of the words, “socialist”, “Marxist” and “racist”, for if you did, you would stop your irrational defense of the ridiculous notion that he is not a socialist. It is not baseless name-calling, but a statement of fact that is beyond question. I see you’ve chosen to ignore my post to you above, and continue to spout your baseless charges of racism.

I assert that YOU are the racist here, samir. YOU are the one who is defending the indefensible, for no other reason than your desire to see the first black President’s legacy to be a positive one. YOU are denying the irrefutible facts about Obama’s political and economic philosophy, (which is what the terms “Marxist” and “socialist” refer to, not his race), strictly on the basis of his skin color. YOU are attempting to make the legitimate words “Marxist” and “socialist” off-limits with respect to this President, by painting those of us who use them correctly and accurately as “racists”. This all makes YOU the racist, not me. Your behavior is pure unadulterated racism. It’s sickening, repulsive and detrimental to our society.

“I think it is unattractive and will not win Republicans my vote anytime soon.”

Facts are often unattractive, while lies are often quite appealing, until the truth behind them is revealed. That is the nature of things. If the Republicans, or anyone else for that matter, must lie to you to make themselves attractive to you, then it speaks volumes of your character and intellect. It also speaks volumes of this President, and of the Democrat Party.

NOQTR4TR8RS   February 18th, 2010 - 7:49 am

@LinkMaster111

“I find it so funny how you ignorant conservative fools will believe anything that your puppet masters feed you.”

I’m glad you’re amused. Relative to Obama’s radical socio-economic philosophy, I have chosen to believe the words of Communist Party USA (see my post above), his Vice President, his wife, his closest friends and acquaintances, and Barack Obama’s own words. Are these whom you refer to as my “puppet masters”?

You delude yourself by believing that the Republicans are categorically “bad” and Democrats are categorically “good”. That’s blind partisanship, and it’s a sure sign of ignorance and low intelligence. If anyone is dancing on puppet strings here, it is most definitely you. But hey, it’s so much easier not having to do the intellectual heavy lifting and actually consider each candidate’s character and position on issues, right? Just remember “R” equals BAD and “D” equals GOOD. It’s just so much simpler, huh?

Peter J. Merkin   February 18th, 2010 - 8:02 am

To all of the communists that are defending their “system”. 100 million people died in the 20th century from governments imposing various forms of collectivism. You have blood on your hands.

Also, to those who elected this collectivist/statist president. Most people must submit a birth certificate to get a drivers license,and provide college transcripts to get a job.

The “anointed one” has done neither. That we elected someone who would not be hired as dog catcher (betcha a municipal dog catcher has to have a drivers license and show transcripts if they went to school). Sad commentary of the state of our electorate that they were so easily duped.

No. That was your system, neo-conservative capatalism.

Sweeden, Norway and Denmark are progressive socialst counties, they’re also the happiest people with the best standard of living in the world, and a fantastic natural environment.

Your country and your system have had it’s day. Goodbye and good riddance.

Holy crap you people really are trapped in your circle of incestuous right-wing talking points paranoia.

Let me fill you in on what most reasonable people understand; our political system is screwed up; money replaces conscience; and both parties are simply two sides of the same coin.

You call Obama a socialist, but it seems to me he’s funneling most of the money to big business. Not exactly a socialist tenet. Same thing Bush did, but he used tax cuts for the rich. If a republican was propping up the rich in this manner, you would all consider it promoting “jobs”, and would be in favor of it. You are simply the other side of the coin, and a reflection of the “liberal socialist radical communist dems”.

Your obliviousness to this fact is a comedic tragedy.

I implore you to please break out of this circle and gain some historical perspective, because despite your well-meaning intentions, your emotionally-based rationalizations are NOT doing our country any good.

Forgive me, but there are some things I’m wondering:
(1) Why is pure Marxim so demonized by these two men?
(2) Is it that surprising that a college student would have a revolutionary-type mentality?
(3) Did the speaker feel insecure in his college days because Barack dressed better than him?
(4) Is the speaker feeling jealous because he was the former leader of a college political club and now one of his members is the President of the US?

@Socialist

“I hope that someday workers rise up and overthrow the bourgeosie who populate message boards like these, promote the vastly unequal system of capitalism and destroy and oppress the worker and the proletariat. Workers of *ALL NATIONS* unite!”

This statement shows why people of your mentality should be either removed from this country or destroyed if you insist on staying. It is an unabashed declaration of worldwide class war. Yours is a GLOBAL system, which allows no room for the existence of people like myself – people who will never, ever adopt your collectivist philosophy, but would be willing to “live and let live”, as long as you’ll do the same.

What would you do with the millions of us in the USA, who will never settle for anything less than free market capitalism and the preservation of our Constitutional Republic? Given that we will never, ever adopt your world view; and given that there are no frontiers to which we can emigrate and live in peace away from you; what recourse to we have but to fight you to the death? In your Utopia, are the “bourgeosie” to be condemned to having their democratic rights, their right of self rule stripped away? With their independent and self-reliant traditions rendered illegal, how do you expect them to respond, when their backs are against the wall? Do the firing squads, the gallows, and the gulags await for those of us who simply want one capitalist republic left in the world, and want it to be here, in the USA?

Can you not see that with no place left for us to go, you invite a calamitous hell on Earth, and not the peaceful Utopia you describe? Why don’t you communists simply relocate to another country that is communist? Why do you insist on world domination?

NOQTR4TR8RS, I see your point. This is rare, but I’m agreeing with someone from outside my political neiche on a message board.

Maybe it is a case of live and let live. The problem is however, if you decide you want to be collectivist, America bombs you, alienates you (Cuba), tires to assasinate your leader (Chavez, Morales, Fidel), or plain old invades you (Veitnam).

Live and let live huh?

“Did socialsm give the worst healthcare system in the developed world?”

Be careful of what you deem as the “worst.” If you haven’t completely bought into the propoganda such as “sicko,” there are many people in Canada and Europe who would welcome the US health care quality. Socialized health care only makes things worse for the majority of Americans, not better.

WatchingFromADistance   February 18th, 2010 - 10:17 am

@NOQTR4TR8RS

>> 1. Do you believe that President Obama is a Marxist, a socialist, or a fascist?

None of the above. He certainly hasn’t acted according to any of those ideologies, and apart of some people’s peronal beliefs and anecdotal stuff that gets repeated on talk radio and blogs, there’s no substance behind calling him any of those things.
One might argue that U.S. politicians in general show some fascistic tendencies, but that’s true for both of the major parties, and has been so for decades. But to call any post-WW2 U.S. president a fascist (or any current member of congress for that matter) would be a great exaggeration, and misuse of such labels should be avoided.
I hear (and see) people calling Obama a radical. When has he ever done anything radical? A radical action on his part would be to insist on a federal tax-financed health care insurance program; to cut the military budget by 50% over the next 10 years; to stop the extreme over-use of incarceration for non-violent crimes; to propose a constitutional amendment that would revoke some of the rights given to corporations (not just in the recent supreme court ruling). Any of those things would be radical proposals for a president to make in the current political climate (IMO positive proposals, although I’m sure many will disagree about that), but Omaba has done nothing of the sort and it seems extremely unlikely that he ever would given his record. If you want an example of a radical piece of legislation that actually was enacted, I suggest that you go back to the Patriot Act (which both parties are to blame for).

>> 2. If not, then what words would you use to describe his political ideology?

I’d call him a centrist. Based on his actions and statements as president it seems like he wants to avoid picking a strong position on any issue, but always wants to compromise in order to gain political cover. The differences between different administrations and the two major parties are quite small, and mainly has to do with details in how to go about maintaining the same overall system.
If you’ve ever spent any real time in other countries than the U.S. you’d probably be aware that both major parties in the U.S. stand far to the right of the biggest parties in most other developed nations. At the same time, I’ve never heard any credible person saying that e.g. the United Kingdom is a marxist country, so to label Obama (or Bush, or Clinton) a marxist is simply laughable.

So he had Marxists views in college I was an Anarchist in High-School and College and than I joined the military guess we are completely defined by what we do when we were young and can’t ever change or grow as a person. We are all pigeon holed as what ever we did when we where young which if that is the case I would say most Right Wingers are Retarded Frat Boys or So-Hoes that never could grow out of wanting to get drunk all the time, do coke, and make gay innuendos to each other while suppressing homosexual urges.

This is totally relevant. People always think and believe all the exact same things at 48 that they thought and believed when they were 18. It’s not like at 18 people are still learning new things, figuring out the world, and trying to find their place in it. By 18, you’re pretty much a fully formed human being and anything you say and do 100 percent informs the kind of person you’ll be 30 years later.

Socialism does not equal communism. Soviet-style communism was an abject failure but isn’t the only method for enacting Marxist ideals. Is Obama a closet socialist? Probably. It doesn’t bother me. What does bother me, is the apparency of ignorance on here. Yes, there’s a social and economic war being fought in America, and the world. The wealth of the middle class has been eroding while the elite continue to make unprecedented gains at our expense. The war is against the middle and lower classes, being waged by the wealthy. Culturally, America has become a nation of “screw our neighbors” clutching individualism closer to the teat, yet the same Bible thumping conservatives conveniently forget one of Christianity’s central tenets and socialism’s simplest value: Love Thy Neighbor.

You are exactly, 100%, CORRECT.

Communists are not the only globalists that need to be stopped. America’s interventionist foreign policy is contributing to our demise.

Hmm …

I’m betting half the wingnut wind bags here don’t even know what, in theory, would happen, if 1) he is, 2) he is hell bent on making the US a Marxist state, and 3) the Democrats were not able to stop him.

Of course, it is a little difficult to do anything when Obama is so scared of annoying the Republicans that he must have a let’s-all-be-friends bipartisan committee to decide what to do.

So, please … inform us, you oh-so-smart-righties … What exactly would happen?

Would he reincarnate the East German secret police? (Sorry, Bush/Cheney and the Republicans already did that 6 years ago with the help of AT&T and the telecoms.)

Would he nationalize the major industries? (Sorry, but the banks only took a loan, which is what Bush started. Insurance industry? Yeah, I’m sure that is what Mao/Stalin went after first. Not the energy companies, not the transportation companies, not the military industrial companies, but the health insurance companies … because THAT is where the real power center is … yeah … right.)

Would he force your children to worship him? (Sorry, but having your children acknowledge that he is the current president does not make him Kim Jung Il.)

You may not like him because he is black or Democrat or whatever your excuse is, but trying to make up more sh.t that you have no evidence for is just plain stupid.

@ WatchingFromaDistance,

Excellent, well-stated post. I have traveled a good deal, and FWIW, I agree that the GOP is well to the right of most of the places I’ve traveled to, the Democrat Party is not, at least not in my experience.

I think you may be assuming that Obama is a centrist by choice, when the reality is he has no other choice politically. If given dictatorial powers, I have no doubt we’d see a hard, fast move to the left. But just because we disagree on that, does not mean that we have not had a good discussion here today. Thanks for your thoughtful, civil remarks.

You people   February 18th, 2010 - 11:31 am

You people are all insane. I got a good laugh reading over your tinfoil-hat conspiracy theories about Obama. So someone who went to school with him has a grudge. So? You’re the same crazies that leapt to Bushie’s defense when people from his school days talked about his drug use, cheerleading, and oh yeah, that whole AWOL issue with the Texas Air National Guard. Karl Rove was able to pull a dirty trick on Dan Rather to change the whole tenor of that conversation, but the fact remains many people were saying these things about Bush. And what did you say then? Nothing, right? Or that Bush was under attack from some left-wing media conspiracy? You’re all a bunch of kooks, and you’re doing your country a major disservice. You accused lefties of treason for accusing Bush and Cheney, rightly, of war crimes, and now you’re doing the same thing over suggestions and accusations. Oh yeah, and it’s sick how many of you mentioned race (”ignorant inner city and dumb white people”) and racial reasons for Obama’s election. It’s not very hard to read between the lines of your garbage to see the real reason many of you object to Obama. As so many of you said during Bush’s presidency… “IF YOU DON’T LIKE IT…. LEAVE!!”

I understand what you are saying, but were the actual costs not covered by your tax contributions merely passed on to future generations of taxpayers, in the form of increased taxes, higher national debt, and the resultant inflation of the currency? Does not the health system you applaud contribute to the massive debt problems and currency crises we are now seeing in Europe and in the US? Doesn’t your argument assume that your bill was paid in full by your 20% tax contribution?

It’s a complex issue for sure.

I grow up in Sweden and left many years agoe. Socialism is not as good as you may think and I for one do not want any part of it. The tax rate in Sweden is about 55% plus 25% sales tax on top of that. Gasoline is twice what we are paying here in the US. The favorite past time in Sweden is to avoid taxes. Many people trade favors or get payed under the table. Everybody wants the benefits but nobody wants to pay for it. Many of the brightest people are leaving the country like I did. And now Sweden is forced to let immigrants in. Many from muslim countrys. By some estimates the nativ swedes will be a minoritet by 2049. Not good for the swedes.
The health care is nothing to brag about. Long waiting lines. People who can afford it go to other countries like Germeny and paying for it them self.

Hopenation   February 18th, 2010 - 2:30 pm

first:
To everyone that is freaking out, I bet you can’t accurately explain the difference between marxism,socialism, and communism… So do educate yourself.
Second:
Marx isn’t a bad guy, and believing in some or all his principles does not make you a bad person or a bad leader. To do so is to commit fallacy. The jist of Marx’s theories stem from his conflict paradigm where as the few power elites control the working class through minipulation of markets and using a ‘divide and conquer’ kind of strategy to force us all to compete for very little. Don’t believe that is true? Look at the concentration of wealth in the upper class compared to the lowered class and ask yourself what seperates you from them. Are they really that much better than you? Are they that more competent? I’m sure you can find the answer in how our banks, automotive industry, and health care providers are run.

So how do you fix this problem? Marx simply suggest a classless society is what is needed, and will be eventually demanded by all societies either by violent revolution like that of Russia, or democratically through voting.

Before you get all up in arms about how “horrible” socialist reforms would be.. I ask you. Is your beloved capitalism much better? And I’m not talking about our soft capitalism either, the one where we pay taxes to get our roads fixed, or put laws in place to protect consumers from faulty or deadly products- because I’m a true capitalist society none of these exist. And If you want a time in our history to compare what real capitalism has to offer, look up the era of monopolies and trusts before Teddy Roosevelt. Because not only do monopolies and unsafe working conditions and poverty natural in a capitalist society… It is ENCOURAGED.

But perhaps my words are missing there target because people so easily dismiss socialism as evil because we are yet to outrun the McCarthy era. So let me take another approach to explain the differences between the two economic theories.

On one hand you have a economic institution that is powered by the lesser of us, selfishness and greed. Without these two rather sinful aspects of our nature- capitalism would never exist in the first place. On the other you have one run by honor and duty. Sincerely ask yourself if you were religious.. What would Jesus do? Would he want me to live off my greed and in doing so live in sin? Or would he rather want me to live according to duty for all mankind as he did.

anon   February 18th, 2010 - 3:07 pm

The sensationalism exhibited here, in the comments, and the implications that such an interview may have is all completely irrational. The continued calls that mainstream media just hates the republican agenda or anything republican is complete idiocy. Fox News is the highest rated news organization on the airwaves, and is widely known as the hot spot for republican talking points. For crying out loud, they were caught on camera rallying the ridiculous tea party protesters off camera (1). They basically ruined their collective pants in the “excitement” leading up to the tea party protest. However, I digress; how can so many people claim that Obama has done essentially nothing and, in the same breath, turn back around and claim that he is running the gamut of socialist, communist, and fascist legislation?

Is it conceived that socialism, communism, and fascism are all the same thing? I wish not to devolve into a name-calling troll, but I merely insist that if you DO believe that those three economic organization models are interchangeable, then you need to educate yourself. I do not affiliate myself with any specific party, in fact, I find the rantings of both dems and repubs just as annoying. Huffington post knows what I am talking about. While both methodologies, D and R, bring great ideas and proposals to the table, the inane blathering put forth by both sides is counter intuitive to forward progress and antithetical to the intent of bi-partisanship, should such a thing ever exist.

It’s the system that put a man on the moon, created GPS systems, cell phone etc etc etc. If someone is a left wing democrat they have to be an imbecile, lazy and a reprobate. Liberalism is a mental disorder, plain and simple. Your way just doesn’t work, it never has and it never will. If did, you’d have a socialist utopia to move to. But you don’t. If you don’t like freedom, get the F out our country. When take control back from these Marxists, we are going to put them in jail. Remember Hitler, Stalin & Mao were all left wing socialists, just like Barry. History is full of left wing tyrants. Anyone who doesn’t know that is a moron.

I have always said that I am a Marxist of the Grouchoian variety,most dangerous when I have a cream pie in my hands. In the peace love and flower power sixties I was the sincere little patriot who majored in Foreign Languages at Montana State to make the Army a career. When after all my efforts I couldn’t get in, I became more or less the revolutionary by default. I said–Screw them and trained myself. For a while I wound up as the volunteer professor of Military Science to a group of student revolutionaries at Michigan State in the aftermath of the Kent State tragedy. It soon occurred to me that as long as it was just a bunch of overprivileged white kids sitting around the tables in the Student Union building talking revolution nothing would happen. It occured to me that when I heard COUNTRY boys start talking revolution I’d think that something was happening. The girl I wanted told me,”I like you but you don’t have a proper Marxist-Leninist world outlook. You can never be a true fighter for the oppresed masses of the world.” I told her she was just another religous fanatic, following the Gospel according to Saint Karl. I left Michigan and returned to Montana. It seems that now that the TEA Party movement has caught hold that the country boys are indeed talking revolution.

1. this guy was not obama’s “friend.” he hung out with Barry like once or twice.
2. obama was a sophomore in college. how many of us were ridiculous, eccentric, and confused at that age?
3. this “doctor” was hardcore marxist and changed his views. is it possible that Obama changed his views and entered politics to improve the country?

The radio host clearly has an agenda.

2 more things – if Obama said that the rich rig the system to keep people poor, he was right and I totally agree with that sentiment. Second, it’s mind boggling how people can hate obama so much after 8 years of Bush. we finally got rid of literally the worst president in history and replaced him with a guy who is intelligent, competent, cares about the poor and middle class, and is a true statesmen.

Look who the people are and what they are complaining about. White men, insinuating tyouhat Obama is a terrorist and saying his name isn’t american, etc etc. It’s racism pure and simple. america is founded on the backs of slaves. how about a big thank you to black people for not killing all you racist clowns after all the shit theyve dealt with – obama included.

luke   February 18th, 2010 - 4:39 pm

Every issue addressed by Karl Marx EXISTS in America. There has been revolution building in the working class for a good long time. As a communist myself, I saw this idea embedded in Obama’s campaign, and I’m sure many others have too… And that’s why we voted.

The only people that are fighting against this school of thought are the people cracking the whip, or the workers that are too ignorant to educate themselves.

EDUCATE YOURSELF AND QUIT LISTENING TO THE UPPER-CLASS TELL YOU HOW GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE RUN! YOU DESERVE A BETTER AMERICA!

@anon,

“that is like saying because Humans and chimps are related that they could be used interchangeably”

NO. NEGATIVE. FALSE. Read my post again. I did NOT say they were interchangeable. In fact, I specifically said that they were not. I said that they were RELATED, exactly like in your analogy of humans and chimps. Then I briefly illustrated the connection using some relevant quotes, not from G.W.B or Halliburton or from Rush’s stack of stuff, but from Lenin and Stalin, who knew a thing or two about the relationship between socialism and communism. The quotes speak for themselves.

Communism and socialism ARE related. Both are collectivist, and vary only in degree and methodology. To deny that the two are related is absurd. You are simply wrong.

BeckPalin2012   February 18th, 2010 - 4:48 pm

Dr John C. Drew states that he was also a part of the Marxist movement, and that he even started a Marxist Student Association in college. So, if he was that deeply rooted in the his socialist agendas, and given the argument put on Obama for his past, doesn’t that mean Dr Drew still has socialist views just like Obama still does? He may CLAIM to have changed his viewpoint, but once you go Marxist, you don’t go back, right? WAIT… I think I figured it out… This site has a secret agenda. I think this site is secretly trying to indoctrinate it’s visitors by easing in this Marxist/Socialist and disguising him as a born-again Republican. We’re surround by these liberal socialist/communist! They are lurking everywhere and well hidden. America isn’t safe! Even Andrew Breitbart is trying to pull the wool over our eyes by bringing this pot-smoking hippie commie into our midst and claiming he’s now a Republican. We are not that dumb! He may say he’s a republican now, BUT has he denounced his commie background? Hmm? I’m just asking here.

@ luke

“The only people that are fighting against this school of thought are the people cracking the whip, or the workers that are too ignorant to educate themselves.”

FALSE. Another group who opposes communism is the Constitutionalists, and we are neither whip-crackers nor uneducated. We simply understand, as I’m sure you do, that our Constitutional Republic and a communist state in the USA are wholly compatible. One side or the other must prevail. Hence your use of the term “revolution”.

It’s perfectly understandable that you would have supported Obama in 2008. You could not have done any better for a candidate. If I were a running the Communist Party USA in 2008, I would have done exactly what your party did – get behind Obama and PUSH. The folks here who don’t see how far to the political left Obama is delude themselves in my opinion. Your post illustrates this perfectly.

NOQTR4TR8RS   February 18th, 2010 - 5:19 pm

@ Nuf Said

“Socialism has never worked in all of history.”

I don’t necessarily agree with this statement. It is standard fare for conservative talking points, but I think it misses the point. The operative term is here is “worked”. It could be argued that socialism is “working” reasonably well for those countries who value enforced egalitarianism over freedom, opportunity and personal liberty. China is a socialist or communist country, depending on who you ask, and their economy is outpacing ours by far. So, is socialism not “working” for China? Sure, if you want to live as they do. I do not.

My gripe with socialism, Marxism, leftism, et al, is that they want the whole world. They, “Think Globally and Act Locally”. They get misty-eyed when they hear “Imagine” by john Lennon. Just read some of the left-wing posts in this thread. Global collectivism is inevitable, and we just need to shut up and get used to it. How ignorant!

The problem, even after the lessons of World War II, is imperialism. This inexplicable need to force one’s political and socio-economic will on every human being in the world. Well, I don’t buy it. I say there needs to be at least one country left on this Earth where people can live free from collectivists from the left, and the imperial corporatists on the neo-conservative right. This perverted goal of a Utopian socialist or communist world guarantees continued strife and bloodshed. Equally, the interventionism, nation building, and “exporting democracy” BS by the neoconservative left needs to be stopped.

This article doesn’t bother me as much as the comments. Seriously people, if you’re going to inject any wisdom or opinion try doing it without labeling people. Fighting amongst yourselves will only empower the wrong kind of people. Shed light on issues in away that is thought provoking, not “I’m right, you’re wrong” with every politically polarizing insult you can dream up.

If you’re one of the commentors whom insist on using “Libtards” or “Republicraps” or whatever, listen up:

In reality, there are many, many more undecided and independent voters out there, and if you want to establish a connection with them and your political views then build a case that’s intelligent. The Blue vs Red is getting old and the younger generation (me) isn’t buying into it.

If you believe passionately about your country, then you should be the change you want to see in it. Name calling and barbs are for insecure bullies, not leaders of the freeworld.

Take care.

I don’t understand you people who think communism or socialism is good. Look around at the country’s that have tried it or are still living it. Germany – 6 million dead Jews plus homosexuals and anyone who did not agree with them. Russia – Starved people in the Ukraine, plus all they killed in their so called workers revolution. China – 60 to 70 million killed, starved, tortured and it still goes on today in China. You also would not be allowed to submit your opionions on the internet, without the fear of being jailed. Remember Tienenaman Square(not sure on the spelling), young students opposing their oppressive government(communist), they get shot down in the streets. I could go on with other examples such as Cambodia, Vietnam, Cuba but they all end the same way. To get your perfect utopia, remember you lovely communist, you will have to murder somebody. Are you ready to kill for perfect social world. Peace Out as you would say!

ScaredyCat   February 18th, 2010 - 7:08 pm

I’m so terrified now. I know Obama is going to come into my house and indoctrinate my kids into his Marxist regime, force me into Islam, take all of my medical insurance away, kill my grandparents and then send me to Kenya. He is a racist too. Don’t forget that. You people are f-ing loony tunes.

Matt   February 18th, 2010 - 7:30 pm

In Canada we have 3 main federal parties, which are loosely right, left, and centre; politically speaking. Obama is more right wing than any of them, and the Republicans are so far off the deep end that the rest of the world tends to think the party is composed mostly of bigoted nutjobs.

So let me be clear:

(most of) You Americans don’t have the foggiest fucking idea of what communism is. In addition, you should be ashamed that yours is the only developed country in the world where the people are too damned selfish to want to pay for the health care of someone who can’t afford it. It’s immoral, it’s un-Christian, and it’s quite frankly barbaric.

Rationalthought   February 18th, 2010 - 7:33 pm

The uninformed moronic rantings of the idiots on this board is amazing: Not to mention the thinly hidden racism. They have no actual facts or ideas so they attack Obama the person rather than his specific actions or ideas.

Name one thing Obama has done that is communist ? (if you know what that truly means)
Raise taxes–nope..he has cut taxes to the tune of several hundred billion dollars.

Health care: ?? It hasnt passed and lacks anything that is even close to what other free market countries have (Canada, Britain, Europe, etc).

Bailed out GM/Chrysler ? Perhaps we should have let them fail and we could all be driving the very safe Toyotas

He has quite simply been very moderate in a very traumatic time.

As for the “Birth Certificate” crowd– People should only laugh when someone brings this up…he was born to an American, in America. He is American. His name, is just that…a name…His father..who cares…its not him.

The right wing nut job fascists (which is what neo cons are) are using fear, innuendo and lies to manipulate and control people. They are closer to Hitler than Obama will ever be. Please people for the love of god— stop and think for one second and disagree with Obama on policies but demonizing him only shows your emotional, irrational paranoia.

You know, I’ve never seen George Bush’s birth certificate. I bet he was born in Cuba. That must be why he’s never posted in online for the entire world to see like Obama has. I mean, what evidence do any of you have that GWB was born in the US? This interviewed exposes himself as a nutjob right from the start.

All sorts of socialist agendas must be stopped. Like everyone here we must fight for a true fascist society. Corporations know how to run the country better than people. Fortunately the supreme court decision recently will help this happen, giving elections to the real leaders of our country, the business leaders. So what, some people get exploited. People are just a resource, we have plenty of them so if some live in a dirty area we can still thrive. And when people like my mother have strokes and can not work, i dont want to pay for their medical so why should the rest of the country. We should just eliminate the burden where needed. We should just get rid of insurance companies all together. All insurance is is socializing risk. if you believe in that, then you are obviously a socialist.

People who are terrified that President Obama is going to turn the US into a socialist state are morons.

College is where many students experiment with different ideas in order to find out who they truly are. This is one of the great things about higher education and is completely normal.

These comments are so depressing. I think that most of you actually need to go to college because these comments are so ignorant. Maybe there you can find out who you really are and what you really believe, and maybe how to think for yourselves.

A new America is coming (hopefully) but it will not be brought on by President Obama. Our world and nation is changing on its own. Do not fear change guys, embrace it for it may lead to better times for all of us, our children, grandchildren, etc.

@JCDINKINS: Obama is a Christian! He is not a follower of Islam and therefore, not a Muslim.

Jason   February 18th, 2010 - 10:08 pm

What’s most ridiculous is- lets say everything this guy says is true… He claims that he, himself was a marxist in college, but is now a republican. He seems to think it is ‘normal’ that he was a marxist, but now no longer isn’t. But Obama MUST still believe everything he believed in college, there’s no way his ideas have also evolved and matured with age and growth.

Let’s be real people. Obama lowered taxes. The bailouts are a continuation of the Bush administration (clearly not Marxist), and the stimulus was necessary according to just about every economist. His national defense policy has also not changed considerably since Bush.

It’s okay to disagree with certain policies. It’s fine to be angry that the person you voted for did not win the election. It’s NOT okay to incite fear based on propaganda, to pray for the death of a sitting, relatively popular US president and claim to be patriotic, or lie about known facts.

Let’s have an intelligent, national conversation about this…lest we have more crazies flying planes into IRS buildings.

C’mon, Brokaw and Rose sat discussing the election after Obama’s vistory, and my jaw hit the floor when Brokaw proclaimed, “we don’t know much about Barack Obama. Who is he? What has he done? He’s written a book but what do we really know about the President-Elect.”

How can it be that a College, any College or University, which supposedly stands as a beacon of higher learning and understanding, square concealing the records of any person who would seek the highest office in the land. And, where were the teams of reporters sent to check, uncover, investigate the life of Barry? You know, the same team that was sent to Alaska to uncover the truth behind who’s really the mommy of Baby Trig. I don’t care if you’re a feakin’ Democrat, marxist, mad-as-hell-at-America (and yourself) liberal, how can you possibly balance the lack of scrutiny that President Barry received prior to his coronation? Who did he go out with in College? Hang with? Where did he work while he was in college? Has he ever held a job prior to college? if not, where did he get his living money? Who were his friends? Did he have any friends? How did he pay for college? From the information available, this fellow has never even had a job before graduating from college and you nuts put him in the White House with the expectation he would fix things. What about his past actions made you think that was a realistic expectation? Perhaps “fixing” things was not meant they way you thought. You thought he was going to fix the economy, healthcare, and part the Red Sea. the only thing he’s “fixin” to do is put this country behind the “Eight Ball” just enough so that India, China and Russia can gain the edge needed to shift the World’s economic balance away from American domination. Oh, and did you hear he is now exploring ways to circumvent Congress on implementing Climate change laws and other “handcuffing” executive orders. Now, why would someone who has the best interest of the American people in his heart, take actions contrary to the rule of the law of the land and handcuff the Nation whose constitution he has sworn to uphold and protect? As a side note: No matter what he does, it won’t work. America has gotten a glimpse of the “man-behind-the-curtain,” and has decided the experiment in “Big Government” is unofficially over. It will be apparent to all in November of this year, and certified in 2012.

“Socialism is an economic theory, communism is actually state capitalism… But I’m sure you aren’t gonna really understand that”
Bravo, genius! That one sailed WAY over my stupid little head.

@ everyone else

I get it now. Obama is a centrist, not a radical. But because I disagree, (along with an admitted communist right on this very forum BTW), and wish to discuss it, it makes me a stupid, American, paranoid, birther, truther, Republican, right wing racist redneck nut job, who doesn’t even know what socialism, communism or capitalism are. James and others tried to ’splain it to me, but I was just too simple minded to understand it. So, I’ll just keep using them as code words for “n1gg@r”, like samir says. I was just here to throw a few cheap shots at the “libruls” anyway. I have no interest at all in any meaningful debate, because our country is in fine shape – united, strong, and with a bright future ahead thanks to the inevitability of Democratic-Socialism, (presumably not coming from Obama, since he’s a centrist, not a Socialist). Civilized debate and dissent are no longer needed, and I see that now. They’re really just disguises for right-wing Bible thumping obstructionism anyway. So I should just fall in line, shut up, stop asking questions, and let President Obama and his team of moderates keep working their centrist magic. Got it. Thanks. Did I miss any cliches? If I did, I’m sorry.

Clearly, this forum has devolved into a pointless name-calling circus. Time to call it quits and move on to more meaningful pursuits.

Interesting how the interviewee rejects his own past claiming how he came to “see the light” at the beginning of the interview.

Nice fishing endeavor to try to support an ideological position. Doesn’t surprise me but leaves me little hope for the retarded right to stop pandering to fear, prejudice, and blind faith.

Mark the Marxist   February 19th, 2010 - 2:27 am

you all have no conception of marxism, facism, neoliberalism, neoconservitism, or any of the other ism’s… christ you just dont get it. America is an idea, a conjured up place, its a fraud. there is a tremendous seperation between its physical property and what its ruling elites do. why do they have homes in 10 seperate countries? why do they keep money in off shore bank accounts? why is it that the net worth of 9 US senators is above 100 million US dollars, a representation of 9% when .001% of the population is in that category… how thick can you be.

You are the same people that thing China is a Communist country… its the most capitalist country aside from the US. most of its export to the US is from US manufacturers refusing to hire americans, selling products that YOU buy at Wal-Mart… and this isnt even 1/10 of the whats going on that is contradictory to what is presented as reality or truth. and its not conspiracy rubbish or what what, you just you to look in the place you’d least expect to see imperialism, or corpratism.

Im writing from the underdeveloped world, what americans living in the US would describe as the third world. and this is a perfect example of miss information or truth about describing things. The first, second, third and fourth worlds exist in every nation-state, region and part of the world, YES even the United States. Dont think there aren’t slums in the US… and dont think there aren’t africans much much wealther than 99% of Americans/Westerners who have acquired wealth the same way American’s wealthy have. but this is never presented to be so, and you may say yeah yeah yeah of course, but then how can we describe places with such hatred and fear and disgust when they make up America/Americana.

Lastly, American media is not liberal, its not left, communist… its liberal capitalist,facist, why not… the worlds most marginalized people know this… every american needs to spend a 14 days in a slum somewhere in the world, not to realize how lucky you are with all you consumerist nonsense, and electronic gadgets but to see how stupid and handicapped living the states has made you

Dear Historyscoper at 2:42 pm…he is both and so much more!

One of the things about the Bilderberg is that they are very, very interested in the resources within Africa that will be needed to run the New World Order.

They have found a candidate to lead them that has it all…Marxist leanings, half black and half white, an African father (Muslim) and an American mother…ties to America and Africa and definitely a handpicked puppet of the Bilderberg!

Read the facts, get informed and see how dangerous this mix is to lead our Christian Republic!

———————————–
REMEMBER THE ALAMO……JUST (12) MORE DAYS TO THE TEXAS ELECTION FOR GOVERNOR!

TEXAS…YOU HAVE THREE CHOICES

1. INCUMBENT PERRY – WHO HAS BEEN REPORTED ATTENDING THE 2007 SECRET MEETING OF THE BILDERBERG SOCIETY!

http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/news/world/stories/DN-perry_31tex.ART.State.Edition1.43b926a.html

2. SENATOR HUTCHINSON – A MODERATE ‘FENCE SITTER’ WHO HAS BEEN IN WASHINGTON TOO LONG.

http://www.ontheissues.org/Senate/Kay_Bailey_Hutchison.htm

3. DEBRA MEDINA – A ‘TRUE’ CONSERVATIVE WHO ‘QUESTIONS WITH BOLDNESS’ AND IS NOT A PART OF THE REPUBLICAN ESTABLISHMENT AND A THREAT TO THEIR MODERATE ‘FENCE SITTING’ WAYS!

http://www.medinafortexas.com/

ONLY ONE “REAL” CHOICE…HERE…TEXAS…GET BEHIND HER AND BRING ‘CHANGE’ AND ‘HOPE’ TO AMERICA BY CHANGING THE STATUS QUO IN TEXAS.

WE SENT A MESSAGE TO THE DEMOCRATZI IN MASSACHUSETTS – LET US SEND ONE TO THE REPUBLICANS IN TEXAS!

Let’s stop whining and take action. Tomorrow, walk 10 houses in your neighborhood and talk to them about voting in politicians who truly support the Constitution of the United States. Take voter registration cards, in case they’re not registered. Do it. Walk 10 houses. YOU can make it happen.

Plus, you’ll enjoy getting to know your neighbors better.

Forward this to 10 Email friends and get a pledge from them to take action.

@EEURO-I have heard this many times from your ilk. And I only laugh my head off at you. You the slaves of the bear Russia, still paying hommage to your task master and begging for more. You’re damn right we dont know about socialist torture and the glories of it, and we certainly dont want to start living it now. However, that not is not the case here with you is it? Your hatred of a country and its people is just that you feel you are justified in hating because your commie leaders have taught you to hate,and like the sheep that you are…. you have learned well, my hat is off to you, you do it well.

I say this. We may fall, but WE WILL FIGHT for our way of life, until the bitter end. And whoa unto all of Euro EAST and WEST as we take our last breath you will already of been gutted and dismembered by your beloved leaders. And there will be not one stupid Americans to come and shed their blood on you worthless soil AGAIN!

Ciao!

Now, this post is very telling:
“Democratic-Socialism is the way of our future and can not be stopped, only slowed somewhat by the obstructionists, racists and haters on the right. But, sooner or later, we will finally obtain a society based on equality and social justice with a fair distribution of wealth among ALL the people and not just the greedy few… Capitalism is dead. The GOP is dead. & The white race is dying. DEAL WITH IT & MOVE ON!”

On the one hand the writer, et al, accuse whites of racism. On the other hand, he exhibits his own racism. This statement makes clear that the intent is to steal from whites and give the loot to blacks. This is actually racism AGAINST blacks, because it supposes that black people cannot be successful. This attitude has been taught to blacks as a TOOL to hold them back, for the past 50 years! And it has worked against any black individual who accepted it, for people live up to what they expect of themselves. WHY would the media and Dem party work to self-imprison blacks? Because they are arms of the Globalists, being used to prepare blacks for this stage in the plan for world enslavement, a big requirement, of course is to bring down the bastion of freedom and opportunity, America. Now we have a ready segment of population, hopeless and hateful, taught to feel helpless but entitled. They thought they had us. But then came the Tea Parties!

The sun does not set in America, Obama sucks it down.

jeff   February 27th, 2010 - 2:41 am

this is why Obama laughed in Steve Kroft’s face right after the election…i will never forget that – its Obama laughing at how stupid Americans are, how he and his team fooled a country so eager to apologize for sins of the past that they would elect a commie/socialist who hates the U.S. to the presidency…so sad…

Guys we have published this video on our website across “the Pond” as we have been saying that you have the same problem as us and that is infiltration by Marxists (most of our government including Comrade Prime Minister Brown are card carrying commies) President Obama (or should I say Comrade) is a threat to your democracy, we have already felt the clampdown in our country as everyone now speaks the truth behind closed doors and behind a false name on the internet. Obama is now jeopardising the friendship between the UK and the USA by siding with Argentina over the Falklands and this is causing fury in the UK as we are your only real partner in the war on terror – we have now lost more servicemen in Afghanistan than we have in any other conflict since world war 2 yet when we ask Obama for moral support at a minimum he ignores us and sends Ms Clinton to cosy up to the Argentinians. The British people will always support the USA anywhere but Obama needs to be got rid of fast. Good luck in the next elections.
Your friends in the UK

Ok, so the guy being interviewed said he thought that way in 1980, but since then he changed his views. And we are supposed to judge Obama based on who he was and what he thought in 1980? I know I’ve changed quite a few of my views since then and it’s not very useful to judge me or anybody based on comments made 30 years before. Furthermore, this guy was an “aquaintance” of Obama — how realistic do you think your acquaintances (from 30 years ago)interpretations would be in determining who you were then or are now?

Can we see better evidence than this?
