"I find your lack of faith disturbing..."

"Barack Obama received at least some instruction in the Islamic faith of his father and went with him to the mosque, but the importance of this experience is vastly overstated by conservative commentators who seek to portray Obama as a Muslim of sorts. Radical anti-Americanism, rather than Islam, was the reigning faith in the Dunham household. ...
Barack Obama is a clever fellow who imbibed hatred of America with his mother's milk, but worked his way up the elite ladder of education and career. He shares the resentment of Muslims against the encroachment of American culture, although not their religion. He has the empathetic skill set of an anthropologist who lives with his subjects, learns their language, and elicits their hopes and fears while remaining at emotional distance. That is, he is the political equivalent of a sociopath. The difference is that he is practicing not on a primitive tribe but on the population of the United States.
There is nothing mysterious about Obama's methods. "A demagogue tries to sound as stupid as his audience so that they will think they are as clever as he is," wrote Karl Krauss. Americans are the world's biggest suckers, and laugh at this weakness in their popular culture. Listening to Obama speak, Sinclair Lewis' cynical tent-revivalist Elmer Gantry comes to mind, or, even better, Tyrone Power's portrayal of a carnival mentalist in the 1947 film noire Nightmare Alley. The latter is available for instant viewing at Netflix, and highly recommended as an antidote to having felt uplifted by an Obama speech. ..."

Normally I’d agree, but he’s PO’d too many on his side. Their power is wrapped up in his. When he fails, they’ll make him an example. Sure, there will be some ‘love’ but I maintain he’s only ‘worshipped’ for the power he has ATM.
Communists have a long history of scapegoating the fallen.
When Obamacare goes down and several of his policies get reversed, those people have a lot less to lionize him for. And remember, his war BS has really upset his ‘lib’ base as well...and now he’s rattling swords over Syria?
Nope. They’ll hammer him as soon as it’s politically expedient. Remember too, he’s half white, and can be said to not be ‘authentically black’ if they need to, so they have an out on that front. Any excuse in a storm - that’s the MSM credo after all. All IMO of course. And I have been wrong before...once...I was Five at the time ;)
"I find your lack of faith disturbing..."
IMO, won’t happen. Obama was the greatest achievement ever for the American and international Communist movements.
Agree there totally. But when his ‘good works’ get gutted (like union loss of power), that achievement will be harder to sell.
You could be right and your logic is sound. I admit that freely and I totally understand where you’re coming from. I just think that all these ‘out for me’ types will put their self interest over his legacy. They are agendists of the first water, I just think they’ll tire of carrying Barry’s.
"'The Black Book of Communism,'; a scholarly accounting of communism’s crimes, counts about 94 million murdered by the supposed champions of the common man (20 million for the Soviets alone), and some say that number is too low."

"The raised fist (also known as the clenched fist) is a salute and logo most often used by left-wing activists, such as: Marxists, anarchists, socialists, communists, pacifists, trade unionists, and black nationalists. The raised fist is usually regarded as an expression of solidarity, strength or defiance."

Anarcho-syndicalism
A common Anarcho-Syndicalist flag.
In the early 20th century, anarcho-syndicalism arose as a distinct school of thought within anarchism.[78] With greater focus on the labour movement than previous forms of anarchism, syndicalism posits radical trade unions as a potential force for revolutionary social change, replacing capitalism and the state with a new society, democratically self-managed by the workers.
Anarcho-syndicalists seek to abolish the wage system and private ownership of the means of production, which they believe lead to class divisions. Important principles include workers' solidarity, direct action (such as general strikes and workplace recuperations), and workers' self-management. This is compatible with other branches of anarchism, and anarcho-syndicalists often subscribe to anarchist communist or collectivist anarchist economic systems.[79] Its advocates propose labour organization as a means to create the foundations of a non-hierarchical anarchist society within the current system and bring about social revolution.
I believe he wants to institute a new "ism" which is his own and based on principles of Socialism, Communism, Marxism. He knows those failed, so he is not a Socialist, Marxist, Communist, per se. I am sure he studied them all, has been schooled by those who support those "isms," but has never really adopted any one of them specifically.
My opinion is that Obama thinks he can do better - remember he is a narcissist with a huge ability to believe in the fantasy that he is superior to anyone. He doesn't feel he is bound by any of our existing laws, and that he is above them. So why would he follow a governmental policy that stymies his power, or adopt an "ism" that has proven to be unsuccessful? I believe he has formulated his own "ism" (yet to be named)but it is a unique combination of theories of other dictators that he evaluated and wants to incorporate to rule this country...and one which he envisions as a perfect dictatorship to replace our form of government.
I am certain that Obama studied our Constitution as a step in preparation for plans to do away with it. He disrespects the Supreme Court; has installed 40+ czars answerable only to him; he has shown his disrespect for all of our core religious affiliations whose belief in God guides them (Jewish, Catholic, Protestant) yet supports Islamic practices; he has set out to divide the people of this country by exacerbating unrest, anger, and distrust among the races, the rich and less fortunate, women vs men; gays vs straight, and has caused widespread resentment and jealousy in our country rather than promoting respect, cooperation, and pride in individual success. Those are all tactics used to tear apart a country from within. They are steps a person follows who wants to become a dictator and puts in practice in order to cause chaos to the point where the government must take control. (ala...supporting the #Occupier movement and hoping for the chaos to escalate to the point where the military must be called up to ensure safety and protection--"martial law.")
The thing is...all of this has been done in a little over three years.
Obama will complete his plan if allowed to serve another term. During that, he will change our government totally and institute his...and place himself at the head...with no hope for a future "election" and he will remain a dictator for as long as he wants. His plan cannot be allowed to proceed. No who the GOP has who we can install in the White House ...Obama must be defeated.
last line should be: No MATTER who the GOP has... (sorry I left out the word “matter”)
Re your last paragraph. You got that right and November 6 can not come soon enough. One thing though, we have to unite. If we don’t then that arrogant, lazy pos occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave will be reelected
Right! BTW, I love your “home” page. Great pics of GW and Laura! Made me miss them so much. What grace and dignity they have.
