Obama: Community Organizer
Return Of The Gods Web Site ^ | September 27, 2008 | William Flax

Much has been made of Senator Obama's post-collegiate experience as a "Community Organizer" in Black (Negro) areas of the vast Chicago Southside. At the Republican Convention, the mere concept obtained some 'mileage' as a source for humor. The idea of an Ivy League College boy coming, full of the Leftwing theories & notions so popular in certain Colleges and Universities in post McKinley America, to tell those living in a large ethnic community how to organize that community is, admittedly, inherently funny. It is not humor in any way peculiar to the racial makeup of south Chicago; indeed, no different from that found in the idea of a White Sociology major from an 'ivy towered' Northern academy, going into a remote small White community in the Southern hills, to tell the rooted inhabitants how to solve social "problems," which they may not see as problems.

While the few real Conservatives who still attend Republican Conventions--and we consider the Vice Presidential candidate one such--certainly enjoyed the good natured humor at the Senator's expense; outside the Convention, the Conservative focus on the subject was somewhat different. There--as here--there was more real concern at the young Obama's sense of direction; at his Marxist mentors; at the real immediate--as opposed to stated--objectives of his organizing effort. Can anyone trust one who, not so long ago, was clearly in the ideological camp which gave the world both the Communist and Nazi revolutions? And yet, there may be still more significant aspects to the subject of an outside community organizer, which have been given very little, if any, attention. It is those aspects to which we would now draw attention.

There has been much comment on the Leftwing ties of Senator Obama, both at the start of his career and since. While it is true that he associated with the far Left, from his College days onward, there are other aspects of his early years--and his work as a "Community Organizer," which attest both his arrogance and bad judgment, which are not getting much attention. Our October Feature is intended to correct that.

I sure hope that the massive ACORN voter fraud has helped teach folks what being a community organizer is all about.

Community organizers are nothing but self-ordained racketeers. They are not elected; they use blackmail and power brokering to further their objectives. They operate out of fear and hate-mongering.

Our government needs to take away all non-profit tax exempt status of groups which participate IN ANY WAY in politics. These communist organizations are, in fact, breaking the law by using 501 status in a political way.

A lady on Tom Baurle’s program (WBEN) just had a great question for the country. Essentially she said, why should we make this man president when he couldn’t even pass the guidelines for the hiring of an FBI agent.

Yes, that includes churches.

If they have any program or speaker which is about politics, they should LOSE their tax exempt status. Period.

Two areas where the Federal Government has failed the American people:

(1) Not enforcing our immigration laws
(2) Granting communist/socialist fronts tax exampt status, and giving them tax-payers money

The tax exempt status is an interesting point, but not my point! The idea of an organizer of any sort, coming into a local community from the outside, to organize that community, is an inherently bad idea--also an insulting idea so far as anyone with self-respect in that community is concerned.

My article traces the history of this sort of abuse, as it has in the past proven a decided set back for the families now in the Southside Chicago community that Obama sought to make over.

Yes, Obama is a Leftist. But my point is that it is meddlesome arrogance at best, to do what he did, and now brags about.

And I hope it puts to rest the obnoxious baloney the left tried to pull after the conventions, that Jesus was a community organizer, as this stuff is the last thing He would be involved in.

It is his arrogant determination to change rooted American society, which offers the one undeniable bit of evidence that Obama is truly on the Far Left--even more so than any Leftist voting record. Anyone who respected the customs of a people--any people--would not with Obama's background (having no real roots in America) be so aggressive in demanding change. Anyone with normal sensitivity would be a bit more restrained--a bit more modest, and respectful--in trying to change any people's customs or community.

The man is no more a harbinger of good than was Karl Marx, Lenin, Trotsky or Hitler (four other reformers, who claimed the right to pontificate to the world).

In the debate, last night, Obama's responses were permeated with the attitude of the "Community Organizer." He has no concept of how a truly free, organically healthy human society functions. The tragedy is that McCain's own understanding is too flawed for him to have found Obama's ideological jugular! It was certainly exposed.
