Blind Leftist Devotion to Obama Results From Marxist Critical Theory
Canada Free Press ^ | April 10, 2011 | Kelly O'Connell

Posted on 04/10/2011 7:57:19 AM PDT by Scanian

Recall, Obama was declared a genius of geniuses by the elites when he ran for president, based on admittance to Harvard Law and a few stirring speeches. Yet, once upon a time, some effort was made to connect education to that holy grail called “intelligence.” After all, wasn’t that the entire argument behind the support and development of the “Ivy League”? But as the average—meaning intellectually guileless—person now sees daily and proved by incontrovertible evidence, being an elite simply means you have been trained into sneering, illiterate idiocy.

There is no longer any credible evidence suggesting elites and liberals understand, let alone are committed to, the good life all normal Americans desire. And after rejecting a second Obama presidency—the way a stomach turns on Tijuana water—we must utterly rethink our cultural goals and strategies for their achievement. The first step for this is to defang the serpent by de-funding the Ivy League, or at least cleaning the decks of its illiterate Marxist masters.

I. Liberal Elitist & Intellectual’s Massive Support for Obama Everyone knows liberal intellectuals went haywire for Barack Obama when he first ran for president. Consider the following quotes to recall how he was being touted as a mix of Aristotle, Lincoln, Gandhi, Alexander the Great, Christ and FDR:

“The first step for this is to defang the serpent by de-funding the Ivy League, or at least cleaning the decks of its illiterate Marxist masters.”

The west had taken in the Communists, e.g., The Frankfurt School, little realizing it was a baby viper. It sheltered it, nurtured it, protected it and now this is the result of its gratitude: a full grown vipers nest in the university and a poison that has spread through the body politic.

Quote from the article: “In other words, no one wants to admit that the premises upon which one has constructed their entire raison d’être amount to an empty, shrieking fraud.”

But that is exactly what we must admit when we confess ourselves sinners before a holy God and call upon the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation.

Life is not guilt.

Partisanship can involve "blind devotion" to a leader figure.

From there you can connect dots to whatever you want, but I don't think he makes his case.

Democrats have been looking for a glorified king-figure since JFK, if not FDR, and Obama is merely the latest.

Liberals have wanted to believe so much and for so long in an intellectual, genius leader, that they convinced themselves that Obama was the one they'd been waiting for.

Once the identification was made it was hard to look around it and see Obama clearly.

For some on the right Adorno is the reason for everything the left does. For leftists, he's old hat, an Old World, old-fashioned, dead white elitist.

The remaining Adornoites are few and it's not at all clear that they really are blindly devoted to Obama.

While we are doing this why not also run the Communist party of America out as well.

What a lot of people are not hearing or seeing evidence is that the CPA or CPUSA was heavily influencing Obamas election.

There was even at the time some FReepers that found out all the cell phones used by Obama were in fact registered by the CPA.

So while we get cheerleaders ranting about showing the “Long Form” we should also unearth every thread or connection the CPA has had with building Obama into a political ally.

Trouble is, communism is legal in the US whether we like it or not.

Unconstitutional candidacies are not.

If there were violations of campaign finance laws, then by all means let’s go after it and expose it and when we get a different Justice Dept., let’s prosecute the bass turds.

With Holder running interference for Obozo, the Regime has an awful lot of lattitude for corruption.

Darrell Issa seems to want to help but he doesn’thave the necessary resources.
