If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, it’s usually a duck.
Mini Summary from LGF:
PrestoPundit has found a 1965 paper written by Obama’s father, in which he advocates:
— 100% taxation
— communal farms / the elimination of private farming
— the nationalization of businesses owned by “Europeans” and “Asians”.
— “active” measures to bring about a classless society
I can anticipate what Obama and his media sycophants are going to say about all this if it gets brought up in the General Election.
They’ll say, “he was young. He’s changed.”
Yeah? Really? And the proof of that is that he didn’t call for the violent overthrow of the US government from the floor of the US Senate?
Because, in fact, he is the farthest left Senator in America.
So where’s the change? The fact that he’s not wearing a suicide bomb belt?
Everything about Obama tells us he is an extreme liberal with an extreme socialist background and political record. I don't know why we're supposed to accept him as president and pretend he is a main stream individual. There is very little about him that is not leftist.
True that. And I'll add another cliché: the acorn never falls far from the tree.
What if it’s “goose-stepping”?.....;]
You know, in calling the “Rev.” Wright his “Uncle” (actually I thought the term was demeaning to blacks), then he’s essentially saying that the Rev is his father’s brother. Which this article seems to back that up. All the pieces are fitting rather neatly together. I think one tipoff was always his career as a “community organizer”. That’s just another way of saying “paid communist provacateur”.
Prudent and Patriotic Americans will never accept Obuma for we know what he really represents Communism, Marxism and Anti-White America.
Obuma is a little smooth talking race hustler, who feels he can hoodwink most Americans, then turn America into a Mugabe style (Zimbawe)
The fruit never falls far from the posionous tree.
Just The Facts,

Exactly. Every bit of information that comes out points in exactly the same direction: Marxist, America hater.
What strikes me is that many of the Africans and some American blacks want Western prosperity while maintaing their native and ghetto cultures of low ambition. That will never work, so the solution is to force the ambitious to pay for the slothful. If Obama hated the U.S. so much, why did he go to Harvard?
Obama’a mama wern’t no yankeedoodle dandy neither.
If Obama were running on a Socialist or Communist ticket, people would stay away in droves. But hide Marxist ideology under the Democrat banner and the lemmings amass. I know a couple of lifelong Republicans who are now registered as Democrats. When I tried to help them see he is a Marxist, they said he is not, he is a Democrat. These are college educated, mature people.
Because the man is communist, perhaps a Communist. They have not all disappeared and they are not all formally gone to Green.
If republicans don’t go on full attack against Obama and every one of his anti-American connections, they will lose and they will deserve to lose.
“I can anticipate what Obama and his media sycophants are going to say about all this if it gets brought up in the General Election. They’ll say, “he was young. He’s changed.””
Probably not. More like a variation on what Obama said about Wright. Something like, ‘well, you don’t always agree with everything your Pastor says’.
Informative info. Thanks for posting.
Who cares what Obama’s Father was? He left him when he was 2 years old!!! Jesus Christ’s Father was a Jew, but Christ formed a different Church, and a different religion. Karl Marx did not come from a communistic family, he came up with those ideas on his own. Hillary Clinton’s Father was a Republican. Ronald Reagan was formerly a Democrat, and he turned into a Republican President. Mitt Rommney’s Father was a Liberal Democrat in the FDR mold, and Mitt Rommney, an arch conservative, regularly and rightly honors his Father, even though he does not agree with his politics.
This idea of trying to attack someone through their birth, their race, their family, or their Pastor (or, in the case of Ronald Reagan, judging by his past political affiliation) is idiotic at best, and disingenuous at worst. Listen to what the candidates are saying. Listen to the speeches they made before the Iraq War. Look at their voting records. If you have something good or bad to say about any of the candidates concerning THEIR OWN voting records or something they advocate in their speeches or the political positions on their websites, then say it. Otherwise, quit slicing the baloney!
Even if my father had been a Ku Klux Klansman (he wasn’t) I would still owe much to my father–our parents bring us into existence and provide us with the raw materials and DNA to build a unique person–a person who develops their own ideas, their own life, and their own politics.
Your arguments are specious and completely disingeuous. No rational intelligent person would buy the baloney you’re trying to sell. But this reminds me of the old (true) political story from Adlai Stevenson’s campaign for President many years before you were born (or “of age”). An admiring supporter gushed to Stevenson: “Why Sir, you have the vote of every thinking person in America!” To which Stevenson wryly replied “Madam, that’s not enough…I need a majority.” Not everyone in the majority is a “thinking person”
The point is that it doesn’t matter whether your Father (or Mother) was a thief or a murderer, a communist or a coward, a rogue or a notorious sinner. The tradition of both Christianity and of America is that children do not inherit the sins of their parents. The meaning of God’s gift of free will and our constitution’s guarantee of individual liberty and freedom of thought and political expression is that we aren’t judged by the sins or errors of our parents. Everyone gets a chance to rise and fall on their own merits. The twisted argument you are making is the same one they tried to make about the blind man in the New Testament. “Was it because of his parents sin that he was born blind” they asked? Christ set them straight–we are NOT punished for the sins of our parents, and we are not to judge others by what their parents may have done in the past. Every human person is a free and unique individual that should be judged on their own individual merits. If what I am saying was not true, then we would all be hopelessly dragged down by the weight of the many sins and mistakes of our ancestors–nobody could progress forward. And just because Obama honors his Father does NOT mean that he agrees with him on his political views or anything else for that matter. There’s a really great set of rules that I would recommend to you called The Ten Commandments. It’s found in both the Christian Bible and the Jewish Torah, and it is the primary basis for our judeo-christian ethics and laws. One of those commandments is “Honor Thy Father and Mother”. Note carefully that the Commandment does NOT say to honor your Father and Mother because they are good, or honor them when you agree with their politics–it simply says to honor them. As Children, we honor our parents for being our parents (just as we honor God for being our God). And if Obama chooses to honor his Father, whether in a book or otherwise, then he is simply following that particular Commandment as he understands it. Your “parents’ views=childrens’ views” argument flys in the face of that reality.
