VANITY: My Mom, age 70, continues to idolize Obama...
self | 10/5/12

Posted on 10/05/2012 11:49:16 AM PDT by SilvieWaldorfMD

... even after his DISASTROUS performance during the debate.

She's Italian (came to this country at age 14 in 1956), and I just have a feeling that she misses Mussolini in some way and sees POTUS as a somewhat Mussolini-like figure. She's been all about "social justice" in recent years.

She's been retired for over 10 years and receives an average pension. She's by no means "rich". Very middle class, and dare I say perhaps even lower middle class...

In 2008, she supported Hillary until the very end, and eventually settled with Obama when he got the nomination. She LOVES him and his wife and the entire Obama family.

I cannot comprehend this.

You all are going to be proud of my 77 year old mom. She is moving down to my house in Mass from NH to live with the family in an in-law apartment we have built for her. She was moving this October, but told me she’s staying in NH until after the November elections cause NH is a swing-state:)

Remind her of what Socialists have become in the past after they consolidate power. It’s like feeding gremlins after midnight. There’s the National Socialists of NAZI Germany. There’s the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. At her age she’s well aware of them. Socialists are the malignant spawn of evil after they consolidate their power. Before they consolidate their power they wear a mask.

Tell her it’s not a right and left thing as defined in the media that she watches. It’s a desire of some people to consolidate power into a smaller and smaller clique of people. That is socialism. And their opposite is those that want political power to be cast wide and far so as to not become a concentrated malignancy.

My boyfriends cousin is a commie. So I went up to her and told her that it wasn’t fair she had more money in her wallet than I did and she needed to give me half, just to be fair. Communists are only commies with other peoples money.

HillBuzz guy WAS a huge supporter of Hillary...then, he got pissed at how Barry played dirty in the election. The more he learned, the more he turned conservative. NOW, he is a big supporter of Palin.

He lives and works in Chicago, is GAY and so, has knowledge of much of the bath-houses and those that frequent them in Chicago. (You need to read under the menu—Is Obama gay?)

Remember, Larry Sinclair did drugs and had “relations” with Barry when he was an unknown Senator, wrote a book about it, was harassed (almost committed suicide, if I remember correctly), but has NEVER been successfully SUED for his tell-all book and Kevin DuJan has not been sued, either, for all of the information he puts on his website.

In THIS litigious society, don’t you think that proves they know what they’re talking about? I do.

From what I read he is in Chicago and the Hill in Hillbuzz was for Hillary. Far as I know they really supported her and when she got mowed down by ACORN, etc they were so pissed off that they converted - I think they were big Sarah supporters and now the guy, Kevin, calls himself conservative.

Could be wrong but Kevin is gay and has been reporting for quite a while about zero’s activities in the Chicago gay life. He seems fairly knowledgable.

Sounds like Mom is confused. Be sure and spend November 6th with her and keep saying, “we already voted, remember?”

Ok

I have looked at his site. This guy is a Hillary supporter & promoter of Larry Sinclair - a drug addicted male prostitute. These aspects do not build his bona fides with me. it's interesting, titillating reading, but hard to judge as to whether its anything more then something to generate hits on a site.

Not sure the not being sued means anything, a law suit would at least until the claims are proved false give the claims & claimer legitimacy. I also assume there is some form of "discovery" in a libel suit. So there would be "risk" to the Zero party if they took legal action. Probably viewed by the Zero handlers as not worth the effort, let them continue to be obscure & fringe.

Hillary to Palin, strange! Obviously ideology is not his motivation.

Something else for your ma to chew on:
Obama’s Ironic Czars:

School Safety Czar: (was) Kevin Jennings—known pervert-headed a group that “instructed” school children in the “art” of fisting.

Obama’s Food Safety Czar: (was) Michael Taylor—previous Vice President of MONSANTO!!!!

Obama’s AIDs Czar: Jeffrey Crowley- Homosexual; a gay rights activist—believes in special status for gays including free health care.

Obama’s Car Czar: Ron Bloom- Auto Union worker. Anti business.

Obama’s Economic Czar: Paul Volcker- Head of Fed under Carter when the economy went into the tank. Member of anti business “Progressive Policy” organization.

Obama’s Energy and Environment Czar: Carol Brower- Political radical-former head of EPA-known for anti business activism. Strongly anti-gun.

Obama’s Regulatory Czar: Cass Sustein- Believes free speech needs to be restricted for the “common good”. Liberal activist judge.

Obama’s Science Czar: John Holdren: No training in science-Fierce ideological environmentalist, Sierra Club, anti business activist. Claims US business has caused worldwide poverty.

Obama’s Tarp Czar: Herb Allison-Fannhy Mae CEO responsible for the US recession by using real estate mortgages to back up the US Stock market. (see
http://spectator.org/archives/2008/10/29/acorns-food-stamp-mortgages/print
for understanding of ACORN’s responsibility in the market debacle, as well—they forced banks to use “food stamps, welfare and child support payments” as “income” on which to base home loans).

Note: some of these folks may no longer be in these positions, ala Van Jones, the communist—but, the important thing to remember IS, Barry “appointed” them to the posts.

This is just a partial list; worth doing research on.
If she still likes Barry, you know who to blame when we all start rummaging through trashcans for food, as they are doing in Italy.

She "misses" Mussolini? If she's Catholic and been attending DC Archdiocese parishes, she's been hearing all kinds of social justice crap for years. But don't get me started on that. ha

Whaddya gonna do, it's your mom. *shrug* Don't talk politics. Then get everyone you know to cancel out her vote.

My Dad is 100 yrs old and a yellow dog democrat. I think he’s entitled to vote for who he wants. I love him. He is my Daddy and he is from a different generation. I vouch that he is neither senile or stupid and he has plenty of money because he worked until he was 70 yrs old laying pipeline for an oil company. He is the most moral and christian man I have ever known.

My German Jewish Grandmother is very similar.

Although she has substantial monetary units "stashed away", she would still do ANYTHING the S.D.P. told her to do.

I mean stay on board the Titanic kind of devotion.

Yet the S.D.P. over there hates her money, success, and most definitely her religion.

I would never trust a Germany political party with the word "Social(ist)" In it ever again.

I just don't understand it.
