Celebrity Biographer Seems to Confirm, Maybe, That Bill Ayers Wrote Dreams From My Father

—Ace

Proof? We'll see.

Relying on inside sources, quite possibly Michelle Obama herself, Andersen describes how Dreams came to be published -- just as I had envisioned it in my articles on the authorship of Dreams. With the deadline pressing, Michelle recommended that Barack seek advice from "his friend and Hyde Park neighbor Bill Ayers."

To flesh out his family history, Obama had taped interviews with various family members. Andersen writes, "These oral histories, along with a partial manuscript and a truckload of notes, were given to Ayers." Andersen quotes a Hyde Park neighbor, "Everyone knew they were friends and that they worked on various projects together. It was no secret. Why would it be? People liked them both."

Andersen continues, "In the end, Ayers's contribution to Barack's Dreams From My Father would be significant--so much so that the book's language, oddly specific references, literary devices, and themes would bear a jarring similarity to Ayers's own writing."

You may or may not know that this is the one crazy, kooky conspiracy theory I have embraced. Cashill's theory struck me as overwrought partisan dementia-twaddle... until I actually read it. It's hard to prove authorship based merely on reading-ease scores and sentence length and an odd fascination for maritime metaphors, but Cashill sure proved it wasn't crazy to notice these "two" authors shared a lot in common, including the odd ability to find a metaphor for life in a tidal river that flowed one way or the other depending on the moon.

Proof? Depends. "Celebrity biographer" is generally not a profession held in high esteem or usually thought to convey a sense of integrity. It's possible Andersen even read Cashill's thesis before turning to his autobiography, thus putting the idea in his head and, as happens, causing him to read too much into quotes about Ayers "helping" Obama.

But. Still. Who is the source for this? I'd sure like to know. If it's someone without a motive to lie against Obama, and in a position to know... then game over, Ayers wrote the damn book, and Obama is not the rara avis that Chris "Fat Moon-Faced Retard" Buckley fell in love with.

To return to the question of authorship, there are several ramifications.

As community organizer, Obama accomplished nothing. At the Harvard Law Review, he wrote nothing. As law professor, he published nothing.

As chair of the Chicago Annenburg Challenge he produced no results. As state legislator, he created no legislation. As senator, he was an empty seat.

Dreams From My Father is the one substantive thing he has ever done. It's his one and only claim to intellectual substance. Without it, he's a party hack from the most corrupt political machine in America - with a slick line of bullshit.

If it was pulled together and made publishable by Ayers, it proves that Obama lied about the depth of their association. Along with other factors in his biography, it strongly indicates that the unrepentant terrorist was yet another Marxist anti-American mentor in Obama's life.

It means that American voters have been cheated, lied to, and victimized by a very nasty bunch of people. Every revelation like this will make the case.

'Glenn Beck: Post-Modern Conservative'

Is Nate Silver onto something?

Beck is a PoMoCon -- a post-modern conservative. And his philosophy is not all that difficult to articulate. It borrows a couple of things from traditional American conservatism:

-- It shares an extreme distrust for government, particularly the Federal Government.
-- It shares the notion that American society is in some sort of state of existential decline.

On the other hand, it also features some important differences:

-- It is much more distrustful of non-governmental institutions, such as labor unions, corporations, political parties, community groups, the media, and scientific institutions.
-- It is largely indifferent toward 'social issues'.
-- It is much less explicitly aligned with the Republican Party.
-- It has much less use for elites, which it also distrusts.

“Mmm mmm mmm:” New details about the Dear Leader song video; Update: School responds
By Michelle Malkin  •  September 24, 2009 09:04 AM

Scroll for updates…


Photoshop: Leo Alberti

In case you were wondering which school taught kids that “Barack Hussein Obama mmm mmm mmm” rap that I posted yesterday afternoon, here are some new details.

The video was originally posted in June 2009 here by YouTube user “brandnuwords.” Update: She has now removed the video sometime this morning. Here is the screenshot:

“Brandnuwords” is the YouTube account of Charisse Carney-Nunes. More on her in a moment.

YouTube user “alteredbeat” re-posted the video on September 6 here.

Alteredbeat e-mailed Carney-Nunes to inquire about the location of the school. She told him it was a school in South Jersey.

This screenshot from the video…

…matches up with this picture of the auditorium at B. Bernice Young Elementary School in Burlington Township, NJ:

I have e-mailed the principal of the school with the following questions:

Did Ms. Carney-Nunes have permission to videotape the performance?

Were parents notified that their children would be participating in this activity prior to the lesson?

Was Ms. Carney-Nunes invited to the school to teach the children the song and about her book, “I am Barack Obama?”

Was the principal aware of this event and taping?

Back to Charisse Carney-Nunes. Via ModernConservative, Carney-Nunes is senior vice president of The Jamestown Project, “the award-winning author of the children’s books, I Am Barack Obama (2009),” and according to her biography, “a graduate of Harvard Law School, where she was a schoolmate of President Obama.” I have e-mailed Carney-Nunes for comment as well.

The Obama school song video that she taped shows her book featured on an easel next to the children hailing Dear Leader. She promotes her book as a tool that “allows children to see themselves through the inspirational story of President Obama growing up as an ordinary child asking, Who will change the world? Ultimately, he realizes that he will.”

She has spread this creepy cult message to schoolchildren across the country.

Coming to a classroom near you?

***

We already know what the response will be to critics of this elementary school agitprop: Raaaaaacist!

***

Mark Tapscott at the Examiner has a related warning on the driving force behind the progressive movement.

Guess he’s just another “kook,” too.

***

Jon at Exurban League has a response from the school district confirming the rap session as an official school activity.

The poorly written statement is posted on the school district’s site.

Defending Capitalism and Arguing Against Socialism

I apologize in advance if Kate had already posted this before, but I do not believe she has (nor could I find it anywhere in previous postings). This is a rather lengthy seminar, so I am authorizing you to pour 2 martinis, grab 2 cigars and getting yourself into a very comfy recliner. Below is the You Tube version (which is broken up into 14 separate 10 minute segments, which makes it more digestable, to see the other 13 segments it's probably best just to go to You Tube and view it from there)

There is also the full version available for download here if you wish to view it all in one shot or e-mail it to friends or have a long flight.

In short it is the most comprehensive seminar on the merits of capitalism, designed to arm viewers with the emprical economic proof needed to effectively argue for free markets and a capitalist economic system. It IS lengthy, but (at the risk of sounding arrogant) it is almost mandatory you watch it - when you have the time of course - because the data, research, etc., really is that vital and necessary for those who believe in freedom and free markets.

I hope you enjoy it.

THE SUN COULD BE HEADED INTO a period of extended calm. “Researchers in the US may have discovered further evidence that the Sun is heading towards an extended period of quiet activity, the like of which has not been seen since the 17th century. The impact this may have on climate is poorly understood but it would be good news for satellite communications, which would continue to avoid the harsher impacts of space weather.”

A must see video!  This shows what Progressives the world over have done – brainwashed the youth.  Where it was once only Progressive regimes in Germany, Russia, China, Cuba, or Venezuela, now America seems to have created youth brigades with Leftist values programmed into them.  In other countries, these types of youths become loyal to the regime,  and in some cases will even turn on their own families.  What you are going to see is disturbing, because I never thought I would see it here.

Welcome to the Obama Youth!

Use The Link to see it!

Update: This has happen before in another Progressive Regime 70 Years ago!

Use The Link to see it!

Update 3: Here is the Russian Progressives Youth.

Use The Link to see it!

Update 4: Here is the Chinese Progressive Red Guard

Use The Link to see it!

Personal Update: The Teacher behind this Obama Youth singing should be arrested for Child Abuse. This video is very disturbing to me and has made me emotional. How can this be happening in America? How did these Progressive Traitors get the power to do this? Have we as a nation been asleep and the let this vile Progressives Movement take over?

These people need to be stopped and confronted, if this happens at your children’s school, please stop this. Children should be left innocent and free of Political Indoctrination.

School District Where Creepy Obama Video Produced Issues Statement

—DrewM.

A follow up on this morning's post...

The school district says it was produced as part of Black History Month but wasn't supposed to be recorded or released.

No apology, no admission this was wrong and no sign that the people responsible will be censured.

Hey school district, I'm real happy for you and Imma let you finish, but ACORN had some of the best tapes that weren't supposed to be recorded or released of ALL TIME.

182 151 UPDATE (12:30 p.m.): After a bit of Internet sleuthing, I have found who appears to be behind the video: The publishers of a children's book titled, I Am Barack Obama by Charisse Carney-Nunes. A cover of the book is placed on an easel to the left of the children and the video was originally posted on the publisher's YouTube account in observance of Father's Day

"I Am Barack Obama" is published by Brand Nu Words.  BNW is owned by Charisse Carney-Nunes.  It is LIKELY that this book was paid for with funds from The Jamestown Project.  TJP has paid to publish and promote other books.  I'd need to see IRS 990 documents from 2008 and 2009.  These will not be available easily anytime soon.

I'm not certain which foundation is supplying these funds to TJP, but its tax records make it look like a front organization for Stephanie Robinson and her husband Ronald Sullivan.  Soros funds TJP.  TJP pays SR and RS a salary of $0.  TJP pays Robinson Sullivan Group(wholly owned by SR and RS) $100,000 for "consulting".

The investment banker Robert Wolf first met Barack Obama one afternoon in December in a midtown conference room. Obama was in town to deliver a speech at a charity dinner for children in poverty at the Mandarin Oriental—but also to pursue another, less high-minded, but more momentous, objective: to begin the process of attempting to pick Hillary Clinton’s pocket.

The conference room belonged to George Soros, the billionaire bête noire of the right. After talking to Soros for an hour about his prospective bid for the White House, Obama walked down the hall and found assembled a dozen of the city’s heaviest-hitting Democratic fund-raisers: investment banker Hassan Nemazee, Wall Street power Blair Effron, private-equity hotshot Mark Gallogly, hedge-fund manager Orin Kramer. Most had been big-time John Kerry backers in 2004. Most had a connection to the Clintons. All were officially uncommitted for 2008.

What a real leader- versus a hollow fraud- states, like a man.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's UN Speech: "But to those who gave this Holocaust-denier a hearing, I say on behalf of my people, the Jewish people, and decent people everywhere: Have you no shame? Have you no decency?" "What a disgrace!"

 
Videos at the LINK:
 

The last man standing Here is the transcript of Prime Minister's speech to the UN.

Mr. President,
Ladies and Gentlemen,

Nearly 62 years ago, the United Nations recognized the right of the Jews, an ancient people 3,500 years-old, to a state of their own in their ancestral homeland.
   
I stand here today as the Prime Minister of Israel, the Jewish state, and I speak to you on behalf of my country and my people.

The United Nations was founded after the carnage of and the horrors of the Holocaust.  It was charged with preventing the recurrence of such horrendous events.  Nothing has undermined that central mission more than the systematic assault on the truth.

Yesterday the President of Iran stood at this very podium, spewing his latest anti-Semitic rants.  Just a few days earlier, he again claimed that the Holocaust is a lie.
   
Last month, I went to a villa in a suburb of Berlin called Wannsee.  There, on January 20, 1942, after a hearty meal, senior Nazi officials met and decided how to exterminate people.  The detailed minutes of that meeting have been preserved by successive German governments. 

Here is a copy of those minutes, in which the Nazis issued precise instructions on how to carry out the extermination of the Jews.   Is this a lie? 

A day before I was in Wannsee, I was given in Berlin the original construction plans for the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp.  Those plans are signed by Hitler’s deputy, Heinrich Himmler himself.  Here is a copy of the plans for Auschwitz-Birkenau, where one million Jews were murdered.  Is this too a lie?


This June, President Obama visited the Buchenwald concentration camp.  Did President Obama pay tribute to a lie? And what of the Auschwitz survivors whose arms still bear the tattooed numbers branded on them by the Nazis? Are those tattoos a lie? 

One-third of all Jews perished in the conflagration.  Nearly every Jewish family was affected, including my own.  My wife's grandparents, her father’s two sisters and three brothers, and all the aunts, uncles and cousins were all murdered by the Nazis.  Is that also a lie? 
Yesterday, the man who calls the Holocaust a lie spoke from this podium.  To those who refused to come here and to those who left this room in protest, I commend you.  You stood up for moral clarity and you brought honor to your countries.

But to those who gave this Holocaust-denier a hearing, I say on behalf of my people,  the Jewish people, and decent people everywhere: Have you no shame?  Have you no decency? 

A mere six decades after the Holocaust, you give legitimacy to a man who denies that the murder of six million Jews took place and pledges to wipe out the Jewish state. What a disgrace!  What a mockery of the charter of the United Nations! 

Perhaps some of you think that this man and his odious regime threaten only the Jews.  You're wrong.  History has shown us time and again that what starts with attacks on the Jews eventually ends up engulfing many others.

This Iranian regime is fueled by an extreme fundamentalism that burst onto the world scene three decades ago after lying dormant for centuries. 

In the past thirty years, this fanaticism has swept the globe with a murderous violence and cold-blooded impartiality in its choice of victims.   It has callously slaughtered Moslems and Christians, Jews and Hindus, and many others.  Though it is comprised of different offshoots, the adherents of this unforgiving creed seek to return humanity to medieval times. Wherever they can, they impose a backward regimented society where women, minorities, gays or anyone not deemed to be a true believer is brutally subjugated.

The struggle against this fanaticism does not pit faith against faith nor civilization against civilization.  It pits civilization against barbarism, against the 9th century, those who sanctify life against those who glorify death. The primitivism of the 9th century ought to be no match for the progress of  the 21st century.  The allure of freedom, the power of technology, the reach of communications should surely win the day.  

Ultimately, the past cannot triumph over the future.  And the future offers all nations magnificent bounties of hope.   The pace of progress is growing exponentially.  It took us centuries to get from the printing press to the telephone, decades to get from the telephone to the personal computer, and only a few years to get from the personal computer to the internet.  

What seemed impossible a few years ago is already outdated, and we can scarcely fathom the changes that are yet to come.

We will crack the genetic code.  We will cure the incurable.  We will lengthen our lives.  We will find a cheap to fossil fuels and clean up the planet.   

I am proud that my country Israel is at the forefront of these advances – by leading innovations in science and technology, medicine and biology, agriculture and water, energy and the environment.  These innovations the world over offer humanity a sunlit future of unimagined promise. 


But if the most primitive fanaticism can acquire the most deadly weapons, the march of history could be reversed for a time.   And like the belated victory over the Nazis, the forces of progress and freedom will prevail only after a horrific toll of blood and fortune has been exacted from mankind.

That is why the greatest threat facing the world today is the marriage between religious fanaticism and the weapons of mass destruction, and the most urgent challenge facing this body is to prevent the tyrants of Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons.

Are the member states of the United Nations up to that challenge?  Will the international community confront a despotism that terrorizes its own people as they bravely stand up for freedom?
 
Will it take action against the dictators who stole an election in broad daylight and gunned down Iranian protesters who died in the streets choking in their own blood?

Will the international community thwart the world's most pernicious sponsors and practitioners of terrorism?

Above all, will the international community stop the terrorist regime of Iran from developing atomic weapons, thereby endangering the peace of the entire world?
 
The people of Iran are courageously standing up to this regime.  People of goodwill around the world stand with them, as do the thousands who have been protesting outside this hall.   Will the United Nations stand by their side?

Ladies and Gentlemen,
The jury is still out on the United Nations, and recent signs are not encouraging. 

Rather than condemning the terrorists and their Iranian patrons, some here have condemned their victims.  That is exactly what a recent UN report on Gaza did, falsely equating the terrorists with those they targeted.

For eight long years, Hamas fired from Gaza thousands of missiles, mortars and rockets on nearby Israeli cities.   Year after year, as these missiles were deliberately hurled at our civilians, not a single UN resolution was passed condemning those criminal attacks.
 
We heard nothing – absolutely nothing – from the UN Human Rights Council, a misnamed institution if there ever was one.
     
In 2005, hoping to advance peace, Israel unilaterally withdrew from every inch of Gaza.  It dismantled 21 settlements and uprooted over 8,000 Israelis. 

We didn't get peace.  Instead we got an Iranian backed terror base fifty miles from Tel Aviv.   Life in Israeli towns and cities next to Gaza became a nightmare.

You see, the Hamas rocket attacks not only continued, they increased tenfold. Again, the UN was silent.
 
Finally, after eight years of this unremitting assault, Israel was finally forced to respond.  But how should we have responded? 

Well, there is only one example in history of thousands of rockets being fired on a country's civilian population.  It happened when the Nazis rocketed British cities during World War II.  

During that war, the allies leveled German cities, causing hundreds of thousands of casualties.   Israel chose to respond differently.  Faced with an enemy committing a double war crime of firing on civilians while hiding behind civilians – Israel sought to conduct surgical strikes against the rocket launchers.

That was no easy task because the terrorists were firing missiles from homes and schools, using mosques as weapons depots and ferreting explosives in ambulances.

Israel, by contrast, tried to minimize casualties by urging Palestinian civilians to vacate the targeted areas.  We dropped countless flyers over their homes, sent thousands of text messages and called thousands of cell phones asking people to leave.

Never has a country gone to such extraordinary lengths to remove the enemy's civilian population from harm's way.   Yet faced with such a clear case of aggressor and victim, who did the UN Human Rights Council decide to condemn? Israel. 

A democracy legitimately defending itself against terror is morally hanged, drawn and quartered, and given an unfair trial to boot.
 
By these twisted standards, the UN Human Rights Council would have dragged Roosevelt and Churchill to the dock as war criminals.  What a perversion of truth!  What a perversion of justice!

Delegates of the United Nations,
Will you accept this farce?    Because if you do, the United Nations would revert to its darkest days, when the worst violators of human rights sat in judgment against the law-abiding democracies, when Zionism was equated with racism and when an automatic majority could declare that the earth is flat.

If this body does not reject this report, it would send a message to terrorists everywhere: Terror pays; if you launch your attacks from densely populated areas, you will win immunity.
 
And in condemning Israel, this body would also deal a mortal blow to peace.  Here's why.  When Israel left Gaza, many hoped that the missile attacks would stop.  Others believed that at the very least, Israel would have international legitimacy to exercise its right of self-defense. 

What legitimacy?  What self-defense? 

The same UN that cheered Israel as it left Gaza and promised to back our right of self-defense now accuses us –my people, my country - of war crimes?  And for what?  For acting responsibly in self-defense.  What a travesty!

Israel justly defended itself against terror.  This biased and unjust report is a clear-cut test for all governments.   Will you stand with Israel or will you stand with the terrorists? 

We must know the answer to that question now.   Now and not later.  Because if Israel is again asked to take more risks for peace, we must know today that you will stand with us tomorrow.
 
Only if we have the confidence that we can defend ourselves can we take further risks for peace.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
All of Israel wants peace.   Any time an Arab leader genuinely wanted peace with us, we made peace.   We made peace with Egypt led by Anwar Sadat.  We made peace with Jordan led by King Hussein.
 
And if the Palestinians truly want peace, I and my government, and the people of Israel, will make peace.  But we want a genuine peace, a defensible peace, a permanent peace.
 
In 1947, this body voted to establish two states for two peoples – a Jewish state and an Arab state.  The Jews accepted that resolution.  The Arabs rejected it.   We ask the Palestinians to finally do what they have refused to do for 62 years:  Say yes to a Jewish state. 

Just as we are asked to recognize a nation-state for the Palestinian people, the Palestinians must be asked to recognize the nation state of the Jewish people.   The Jewish people are not foreign conquerors in the Land of Israel.   This is the land of our forefathers.
 
Inscribed on the walls outside this building is the great Biblical vision of peace: "Nation shall not lift up sword against nation.  They shall learn war no more."   These words were spoken by the Jewish prophet Isaiah 2,800 years ago as he walked in my country, in my city - in the hills of Judea and in the streets of Jerusalem.   We are not strangers to this land.  It is our homeland.

As deeply connected as we are to this land, we recognize that the Palestinians also live there and want a home of their own.   We want to live side by side with them, two free peoples living in peace, prosperity and dignity.

But we must have security.  The Palestinians should have all the powers to govern themselves except those handful of powers that could endanger Israel. 

That is why a Palestinian state must be effectively demilitarized.   We don't want another Gaza, another Iranian backed terror base abutting Jerusalem and perched on the hills a few kilometers from Tel Aviv.
 
We want peace.

I believe such a peace can be achieved.  But only if we roll back the forces of terror, led by Iran, that seek to destroy peace, eliminate Israel and overthrow the world order.
 
The question facing the international community is whether it is prepared to confront those forces or accommodate them.
 
Over seventy years ago, Winston Churchill lamented what he called the "confirmed unteachability of mankind," the unfortunate habit of civilized societies to sleep until danger nearly overtakes them.

Churchill bemoaned what he called the "want of foresight, the unwillingness to act when action will be simple and effective, the lack of clear thinking, the confusion of counsel until emergency comes, until self-preservation strikes its jarring gong.”

I speak here today in the hope that Churchill's assessment of the "unteachability of mankind" is for once proven wrong.  
I speak here today in the hope that we can learn from history -- that we can prevent danger in time.
  
In the spirit of the timeless words spoken to Joshua over 3,000 years ago, let us be strong and of good courage.  Let us confront this peril, secure our future and, God willing, forge an enduring peace for generations to come.

What’s the Jamestown Project? Plus: Finding your “inner Obama”

September 24, 2009 03:37 PM by Michelle Malkin

Charisse Carney-Nunes, who originally posted the Burlington Township (NJ) elementary school Obama chant video, has not responded to requests for comment — though someone did remove the video from her account this morning, as I mentioned earlier today. I linked to her bio at the Jamestown Project, where she is Senior Vice President of Programs. (FYI: In this interview, she says she has accepted a job with the Obama administration’s Transportation Department.)

What’s the Jamestown Project? From its “About Us” section:

The Jamestown Project is a diverse action-oriented think tank of new leaders who reach across boundaries and generations to make democracy real. Founded and operated primarily by people of color and women, The Jamestown Project consists of scholars, activists, and communities who use five broad strategies to achieve our mission: generating new ideas; promoting meaningful public conversations and engagement; cultivating new leaders; formulating political strategy and public policy; and using cutting-edge communications techniques that reach a broad public.

From its curriculum guide for 3rd-5th graders:

Children Do Democracy Too is an outgrowth of our Doing Democracy work. The purpose of the initiative is to equip children with the knowledge and tools necessary to meaningfully participate in civil society and democracy. The central question we seek to answer is, “How do we instill the values of citizenship and active participation into the youngest, and in many ways the most important, members of our democracy?”

The Jamestown Project released A Children’s Curriculum for Civic Engagement in the Fall of 2008 as part of this initiative. The curriculum is based on our book I DREAM FOR YOU A WORLD: A COVENANT FOR OUR CHILDREN.

The Curriculum adapts the concepts from the book into lessons and activities to promote civic engagement to elementary aged children. Grades 3 – 5 are the optimal age for children to not only understand their place in the world, but also a time to begin to comprehend their power and potential to make a difference in their own lives, their family, their communities, and their country.

We are currently piloting the curriculum and seeking new partners to help us evaluate the program, share learning, and to strategize about achieving future goals.

Question: How many other public schools have “instilled the values of citizenship and active participation into the youngest” through Jamestown Project Senior VP Carney-Nunes’ Obama-chanting rituals?

Here’s at least one other school in Salem, NJ at which Carney-Nunes proselytized — even urging one student to keep looking for “that inner Obama:”

From the hard wooden chairs of the Salem Middle School auditorium, children shouted gleefully “I am Barack Obama!” here Tuesday, prompted by the renowned author who penned a book of the same name.

Charisse Carney-Nunes, a former classmate of the president’s at Harvard Law School, spent her birthday reading some of her collection to the third-grade class, the colorful pages emblazoned on a big-screen projector above her.

Her stories are of a hope that often finds confinement within the poverty-stricken city.

“The most important thing I think, and the reason the book is called I Am Barack Obama, is because I like when children say I am Barack Obama,” Carney-Nunes said. “They understand that there is a little bit of Barack Obama in all of us.”

Her latest endeavor captures the journey of Obama from childhood to the White House steps, offering that the power to change the world lies with all of us…It was the endless series of questions about Obama that Carney-Nunes received during school book tours last year that led to her latest venture, she pointed out.

“They just wanted to talk about Barack Obama,” she said. “I decided you know what, it would be easiest if I just wrote a book.

At the end of the program, each child received a copy of Carney-Nunes publication. At least one was signed with a message to keep looking for that inner-Obama.

***

Fun fact: Carney-Nunes’ Jamestown Project colleague Bakari Kitwana defended radical former green jobs czar Van Jones on FNC earlier this month:

At the Huffington Post, Kitwana smeared parents and conservative commentators who objected to the White House junior lobbyists-in-the-schools effort earlier this month as — you guessed it — RAAAAACISTS.

The 3 R’s in the Age of Obama: Rappin’, revolution & radicalism

The three R’s in the Age of Obama: Rappin’, revolution & radicalism
by Michelle Malkin

When the White House announced plans for the president’s nationwide address to schoolchildren two weeks ago, worried parents were dismissed as “kooks.” We pointed to the subtext of “social justice” activism rampant in American classrooms. It’s time for a big, fat Told You So.

Out of the spotlight, politicized lessons continue to supplant core academics.

At the B. Bernice Young Elementary School in Burlington Township, N.J. earlier this year, schoolchildren were instructed to memorize a paean to Barack Obama. A video uploaded to the YouTube account of Charisse Carney-Nunes, author of the children’s book “I Am Barack Obama” and a self-described Harvard Law “schoolmate” of the president’s, showed students lined up in the auditorium snapping their fingers and chanting in unison:

Mmm, mmm, mmm, Barack Hussein Obama
He said all should lend a hand to make the country strong again
Mmm, mmm, mmm, Barack Hussein Obama
He said we must be fair today, equal work means equal pay.

Mmm, mmm, mmm, Barack Hussein Obama
He said take a stand, make sure everyone gets a chance
Mmm, mmm, mmm, Barack Hussein Obama
He said red, yellow, black and white, all are equal in his sight
Mmm, mmm, mmm, Barack Hussein Obama
Yeah! Barack Hussein Obama

…Hello Mr. President, We honor you today
For all your great accomplishments, we all do say hooray
Hooray, Mr. President you are No. 1
The first black American to lead this nation

Acknowledging the historic nature of Obama’s presidency (“the first black American”) is one thing. Deifying him with creepy spiritual references (“red, yellow, black and white, all are equal in his sight” is cribbed from the famous hymn “Jesus Loves the Little Children;” cheering “you are No. 1”) is quite another. Burlington Township (NJ) school officials said Thursday the recording and dissemination of the video was “unauthorized,” but acknowledged that the Obama praise session was part of the students’ official curriculum.

Carney-Nunes’s Obama book was on prominent display during the students’ performance. It is a tool, she says, that “allows children to see themselves through the inspirational story of President Obama growing up as an ordinary child asking, ‘Who will change the world? Ultimately, he realizes that he will.’” Seeing everything through the lens of Obama, as his incessantly self-referential United Nations speech demonstrated, is a trademark of the perpetual Obama campaign.

This O-cult lesson is exactly the kind of junior campaign lobbying activity that White House officials planned around the president’s education speech. Alert parents and administrators called out the Department of Education’s activist, Obama-centric education manuals before the event. Federal officials altered the language. Obama delivered an innocuous speech. But on cue, education radicals goaded students to engage in political activism.

White House and Hollywood moguls launched a “Get Schooled” initiative this month with Obama that urges students to lobby for higher teacher pay and to embrace the rallying cries “Know Your Rights” and “Change the System.”

At the New Trier High School in Northfield, Illinois, educators followed up on President Obama’s address with a 45-minute “extended adviser” discussion last week to explore “the significant messages inherent in his speech.” Illinois writer/blogger Tom Blumer reports that “parents were not informed on a timely basis as to what was going to happen, and were given no specific instructions on how to have their child opt out of the ‘discussions.’” The school’s principal and assistant principal sent out suggestive questions focused on Dear Leader’s Do Something missives:

* Why do you think President Obama listed the responsibilities of teachers, parents, and the government before discussing your responsibility for your education?
* What are you “good at” and what do you have “to offer” your family, friends, and community?
* In the speech, President Obama spoke of some of the steps of Effective Effort. Identify them, using direct quotations from the text to support your assertions.
* Respond to President Obama’s final questions for you: “What’s your contribution going to be?…”

In addition to radical White House Teaching Fellows like Chicago high school educator Xian Barrett (an outspoken charter school foe who founded a “Social Justice Club” and bussed students to protest) and Michelle Bissonnette, a Los Altos, Calif., teacher who is “focused on developing my leadership as a more culturally and racially conscious educator,” the White House has embraced controversial homosexual rights’ advocate Kevin Jennings as “Safe Schools czar.” Jennings founded the controversial GLSEN (Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network), which aggressively pushes sexually explicit, age-inappropriate books and lesson plans on alternative lifestyles.

Lost in all the chanting for change is the core commitment to impart actual knowledge. For progressives in the Age of Obama, setting high academic standards is secondary to the self-improvement of the “whole child” and “service” to the cause of social justice.

Out: Readin’, writin’, and ‘rithmetic.

In: Rappin’, revolution, and radicalism.

Mmm, mmm, mmm.

( And I was around nearly as long as this guy... )

And its a good one! Courtesy of earth2moonbat…

For those who don’t know who E2M is, he was a very long time poster at LGF who was probably on the site about the same time I was, which was seven years. A very good man and a good friend of mine. At any rate, here is the entire last post of earth2moonbat.

The entire thing is a must read with a ton of links and youtube stuff and all around hilarity.

What’s up, Chuck? I feel like Rip Van Winkle. I leave for a couple years, and come back, and like this place turns into Kos. WTF happened? Does Spock have a beard? Is this some bizarro alternative universe? I mean, I didn’t mind your bike threads. After all, I guess if you want to show off in front of your lizardoid minions like this, it’s your blog, not that there’s anything wrong with that. So I went along. Even when Sharmuta started turning into a groupie. I even remember the one when your bike broke, and Irish Rose gave you a lift.

Things started getting a little weirder when the creationism threads started popping up. First a couple. Then a bunch more. Then it turns into a full-fledged evolutionist jihad. What’s a Pastafarian supposed to think when you insult my noodly savior? Of course, the Flying Spaghetti Monster created the universe, you heathen! You and your puny Darwinian religion are no match for the Great Noodly One!

So anyway, this place started getting kind of weird. It’s like wall-to-wall evolution 24/7. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but it’s also not the way science is supposed to work. Science isn’t supposed to be jihad, and it’snot supposed to be cheerleaders with pom-poms chanting “hey hey…ho ho…creationism has got to go”. It’s supposed to be resolution of observation and theory. I don’t think Darwin would appreciate this shit if he were alive.

I mean this evolution jihad is like 22 metric shitloads of WTF. But then you go off on another jihad masquerading as science by talking shit about climate skeptics. Do you know a proton from a crouton, Chucky? Do you have even the most basic tools to understand this issue? No? Then why don’t you follow Jillette’s wise advice, and STFD and STFU? I don’t get it, is your bike missing, or something? As we Pastafarians all know ,lack of pirates causes global warming. Haven’t you ever heard of theArrrr-henius equation?

So anyway, you go to Jimmy Hansen’s minions’ site realclimate.org looking for the indisputable truth. As you can see, they’re run by EMS. If you follow the money, EMS leads back to Fenton Communications, and ultimately back to the Tides Foundation. That’s the same Theresa Heinz’s Tides Foundation that gave Saint Hansen a quarter million just for giggles. You did know that Hansen is Gavin’s boss, right? If you think this is how things are supposed to be, you’re denser than I thought. Show me one skeptic anywhere in the world who received even a research grant, let alone a stringless gift like that of that magnitude. I double-dog dare you.

WTF happened to the skeptic who didn’t want to take Dan Rather’s libel at face value? Have you forgotten what put LGF on the map? It was because a good citizen debunking of the powerful propagandists attracted a lot of smart people to a site that represented the best of the web. Your 15 minutes was when you successfully pulled a WTF check off on the high and mighty Dan.

I guess that was then, and this is now. Did I mention that your precious Jimmy Hansen is a creationist abuser of Godwin’s law? The wierod had the unbridled gall to call his detractors “deniers”. Do you think that’s just ducky, Chucky, when some narcissistic prick abuses the Holocaust for political purposes? Oh, yeah. I forgot. He’s ’saving creation’ (his words). That makes it ok to use the Holocaust as a tool.

But it gets worse. He then claims that it’s a scientific fact that coal cars are the equivalent of the rail cars that Hitler used to carry people to Auschwitz. But he’s a great hero, right? Saving all creation, right Chucky? Then if that’s not enough, he calls for aNuremberg trial for oil executives. And supports eco-terrorism. And he’s not a fan of democracy. Yes, Chucky, he’s 100% loony-tunes. He thinks he’s Jor-El.And I’m putting the most charitable possible interpretation on that.

I’m sorry, but you’ve really gotten yourself mixed up with a bunch of USDA grade AAA Godwinizing pricks. You’ve just joined forces with GeorgeMonbiot. Y’know,the original “moonbat”? Well, I’d say that’s123 metric shitloads of WTF in the WTF truck. That just blew the tires out.

So you’re confusing Captain Planet with Mr. Science. I guess that happens when you watch a couple episodes of Bill Nye the Science Guy,and think you’re a string theorist. But then you start getting seriously deranged. You start getting paranoid and delusional. You start imagining corporations and white supremacists stealing your bike. I can’t believe you just banned Dotty, Chuckles, but just chill. It’ll be ok. Just close your eyes and repeat after me: “there are no white supremacists stealing my bike”. If that doesn’t work, there are some remarkable new pharmaceutical products that work wonders. A reliable source tells me that your bike is in the basement of the Alamo.

I thought it was a little peculiar the way you went jihad all over Geller and Malkin. You have to wonder about a guy who uses a Mac, not that there’s anything wrong with that. But it is sorta weird. That dumped another 43 metric shitloads of WTF into the WTF truck. The springs just bottomed out.

Then you went on a jihad against those whom you pejoratively call “nirthers”. Clever. Cute. One person does a typo, so they’re all”nirthers”. I mean really. Neener, neener, you’re a nirther. Are you trying to refute their arguments, or did you regress into junior high, and think you’re in a lunchroom foodfight?Are the nirthers in on the conspiracy to steal your bike, too?

But then things get even weirder:

The Center for the Study of Carbon Dioxide and GlobalChange is a front group for Exxon-Mobil.

[532Charles Thu, Apr 30, 2009 1:01:05pm]

A “front group”? I hate to break the news to you, but it isn’t Exxon-Mobil trying to steal your bike, Pee Wee, it’s Francis.Over the course of 11 years, E-M donates $90,000 for the support of CO2science.org. That’s a little over $8000/yr. That total sum over 11 years is one third of the amount that Theresa Heinz gaveHansen. And the Idso brothers are running a “front group”? A little black helicopter much there?

I mean OMG ponies!1!1!1! Big Oil has a “front group”. Jezuz Frik on a pogo stick! Big Oil is so 2008. Haven’t you heard? The conspiracy these days is the Big Health Insurance. Just remember, here’s what will happen to your bike under ObamaCare. And your gramma, too.

The insurance companies have front groups, too. Did you realize that? Oh, I guess it’s a big secret. Let me fill you in on the Big Secret: Lots of industries have “front groups” by your definition. By your logic, any time any private company donates to any group, it becomes a “front group”. And you have the chutzpah to call the birthers crazy. Add 422 metric shitloads of WTF to the WTF truck. It’s spilling over the sides and on the cab. You’regoing to be responsible for a toxic WTF cleanup.

After that, I didn’t think it could get any worse. I was wrong. Van Jones is an unmitigated dickhead. I would have thought that you’d take Zombie’s word for it. But it appears that your jihad against Glenn Beck trumps any reasonable assessment of Jones. So you say:

Van Jones is incredibly respected among environmentalists. I know you hate him, but that’s just a fact.

[24 Charles Sun, Sep 6,2009 9:56:14am]

Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but WTF does that have to do with with the price of peanuts in Trinidad? Catholics respect the pope. Does that make the pope an expert on anything other than religion? That’s787 metric shitloads of WTF. I can’t even see the truck anymore.

And just when I think you can’t get any nuttier, you go totally splodynannas all over everybody. I was vaguely aware of your jihad against Beck, but not against Stacey McCain. Here you are getting in an argument with Stacey McCain. But then you go jihad on Stephen Green, the vodkapundit, for guilt by association!WTF? He publishes some real time reports from McCain in the field,and now he (and everybody else at PJM) is an enemy of the people. This was my heads up that you had serious issues. I was hanging out at PJM, and then this wild display of insane jihad came out of nowhere. You’re going jihad on the vodkapundit, because of his reporter. Then I followed some comments to Kirly’s list, and lo and behold! Over1300 bannings!

That in itself was kinda bizarre, but I looked on the list of the banned. Such wild screaming white supremacists as: Bob’s Kid, Carl in Jerusalem, Kirly, Little old lady, Goddess of the Classroom, Jheka, Loppyd, and N.Y. Nana. Chucky, that’s all wee-wee’ed up. They ain’t got your bike. Johnson, don’t be a dick.

Nutty as that is, you outdid yourself by banning Iowahawk! I mean Jezuz Frack in a Cadillac, Iowahawk! The jester. The funny guy. Have you no sense of decency, sir? At long last, have you no sense of humor? I mean for crying out loud, if you have that pongo instinct to pee all over, don’t pee at the clown! What kind of a person pees at a clown? If you can’t help but pee, pee in your own mouth, but leave the clown alone. I don’t understand why you nuked Iowahawk, and still put up with TFK, not that there’s anything wrong with that.

I think I get it. You want to hang out with the Kool Kos Kids. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but how’s that working out for you? I think you need to face something. It’s time you learned the awful truth. Yup, Chuck. Your bike never was in the basement of the Alamo. And neither were the white supremacists. They were in your head all this time.

Chuckles. I used to be one of your lizard minions. ‘Member? 25,000+ comments? I remember when Reaganite, and Ann, and Rayra and Swampwoman got uppity and got banned. I took the position that this was your sandbox, and you were right to toss them. But they saw something that I didn’t see. It had to unravel more. They were right. I wee wee’ed up. But at least I’m willing to recognize my error. You used to be tolerant. Now you’re a liberal. And paranoid. And thin skinned. You’ve reduced a healthy debate to a hallelujah chorus.

You remind me of somebody. Is it Pee Wee? I mean you two both are way too into your bikes, not that there’s anything wrong with that. And you both are masters of your own fate, taking matters into your own hands.

No, that isn’t quite right. Elena Ceausescu, perhaps? I mean you both fancy yourselves scientists, and you are one tater short of a dictator. No….somebody else. Richard Nixon? I think I’m getting closer. He had an enemies list, and he was a liberal masquerading as a conservative, and he was a Dick.

Not quite. I got it. The thin skin, the paranoia, the megalomania. And he was a dick. You remind me of……Dan Rather.

I’m not going to miss this place. Make my day, Chuckles. Ban me.

And before I go, a special shout out to MandyRude.

Obama's FCC Chief Can't Wait to Get His Hands on the Internet

The free market has worked wonders in the world of the Internet. It is vast and open to anyone who wants to use it. It's also the one domain the government has not yet been able to control. If Obama's new FCC chairman, Julius Genachowski, has his way, all that will change. Why? Because Genachowski thinks that the only way the Internet can remain open to everyone is if the government gets involved and does the monitoring.

I'll wait for you to stop laughing....

Genachowski wants us to ignore the undeniable fact that the Internet is as open and vast as it is because the government has had nothing to do with it. But that won't stop Genachowski. From Reason Online:

Last Monday, in his first big speech as President Barack Obama's new Federal Communications Commission (FCC) chairman, Julius Genachowski began by singing the Web's praises, and portraying it as vital to the workings of society. "Today," he said, "we can't imagine what our lives would be like without the Internet--any more than we can imagine life without running water or the light bulb." On this point, nearly everyone can agree.

Unfortunately, Genachowski drew exactly the wrong lessons from his initial insight: Rather than see the Internet's growth and integration into everyday life as evidence that government intervention isn't necessary, the Web's chief regulator took the opposite view--that the Net's size and scope make government meddling a necessity. The Internet, in other words, is Too Connected to Fail.

The theme of the speech was openness, but for Genachowski, an "open Internet" seems to mean a "government-monitored Internet." Innovators and entrepreneurs may have been responsible for making the Web great, but care, oversight, and access are now up to the government. "Congress and the President have charged the FCC with developing a National Broadband Plan to ensure that every American has access to open and robust broadband," he said.

The message from Genachowski to the free market is "thanks for making the Internet such a great success, but we're from the government and can take it from here."

But there's a much larger message going on here that should concern all Americans. We're being told that not only should government intervene when a system is broken, as Obama has been arguing is the case with health care, but now we hear that the government should also intervene with a system even when it is very successful as is the case with the Internet.

So, here's the exit question: is there an area of public life that the Obama administration thinks it should not interfere?

The answer: No. Obama and his like minded leftists are focused on one thing: control. They claim they are concerned about the common good, but the truth is they are just a bunch of control freaks.

Ceausescu: The King Of Communism

We have something slightly different today. Transsylvania Phoenix has a fascinating documentary in one of his posts today called Ceausescu: The King of Communism. It's an excellent documentary that does have many eerie parallels with today.

What struck me the most was the personality cult around Ceausescu and how the media so willingly supported him. It reminds me of a certain leader of this country today. Now, I know our country is not in the state that Romania was during Ceausescu's rule, but it is something to consider.

The four parts of the documentary are embedded below the page jump.

Maybe someone has already recalled this – I have to run and I didn’t take time to read through all the usual acute comments…

Let’s remember that the United Nations bureaucracies brought you (1) retreat from Rwanda to allow 850,000 people to be slaughtered with garden implements, when a few regiments of Blue Berets with side arms could have made a difference; (2) children and women being forced to provide sexual favors for U.N. petty bureaucrats who took advantage of their position of power over them; (3) Oil-for-Food fiasco, which was supposed to carefully monitor the sale of Iraqi Oil to purchase food and medicines for the Iraqi people, and instead, provided vast opportunities for Koffi Annan’s son and cronies to pocket hundreds of millions of dollars in bribes and kick-backs, while Saddam Hussein Barama… I mean Saddam Hussein the Dictator of Iraq (to distinguish from other dictators) built more palaces, imported more truckloads of pornographic tapes, liquor and drugs, paid prostitutes, and chocolate bon-bons as the children of Iraq withered and died from starvation, bad water, lack of medical care and heavy metal poisoning, when they weren’t being murdered anyway by the Iraqi Secret Police.

Screw the U.N. They are a bunch of Thugs that make ACORN and SEIU seem almost honest...

Ghost written books? It appears so.

“Andersen Book Blows Ayers’ Cover on ‘Dreams’”

This chart shows that Obama spent at least 730 million on his election.

Didnt McCain take public funds?
And this chart shows McCain spent 330 million.

Last time I checked 730 is a higher number then 330.

 
“An earthquake is coming.”  ...Our country skates on thin ice today wherein that thin line separates our economy and security (domestic and foreign) from very serious trouble. As Kevin noted earlier, some believe Republicans are leaderless while Democrats are out of control. Others believe Democrats are leaderless while Republicans are irrelevant. Whichever is the case, an earthquake is coming. Evidence of it is in the popular culture where apocalyptic stories permeate television and books. (Hell, even bomb shelters are on the rise (pardon the metaphor).) One wonders if anyone in Washington is actually paying attention.
"...just look at gun and ammo sales. Through the roof!! As is a lot of survival equipment. You are right, the politicians and the MSM still haven't gotten it. Real people have and that knowledge is spreading. People tend to take notice what is going on around them and take that as reality and are starting to question the media and government. Real people in the real world don't see the glimmers of hope that the MSM and White House are selling." THE SEVEN BEST FIRST AID KITS for any situation.

Gateway pundit title on Obamacare and jail time “Unreal - . . .” led to a page with pop up after pop up, trying to force a “virus scan” on me.

Is there a way to avoid this?

Let me take a look- it should be clean, but let's see.

Now that's interesting-- when I use IE ( normally run firefox ) it sure does take you to that bogus "virus scan" page-- if you have ActiveX controls enabled. Disabled, you see Gateway Pundit.

Thanks for calling that to my attention- I guess I ought to drop Jim a note at GP, to see if someone has hacked bad code into his site.

Short term, use FF or disable ActiveX

FAIL TO BUY HEALTH INSURANCE GO TO JAIL OR PAY $25,OOO

While Obama slept

We now know that Barack Obama  has sat  for almost a year on the information regarding Iran's "secret" nuclear plant. His hand was forced yesterday by the Iranians who were the ones that went public with the information when it appeared to them that their security had been breached. This led to Barack Obama disclosing the previously withheld information regarding the plant. The Iranians kept the plant secret and Obama aided them by his silence. So much for the transparency promise.
