Obama is barely an issue when we have ROMNEY staring us in the face!!
Right?
What a lot of conservatives, conservative Republicans and traditional Democrats, not to mention Independents, miss about the Obama/Romney race is that Obama is not your typical garden variety left wing Democrat.
What he is an insidious subversive, an evil menace who really believes America is the new great colonial power, and, as his father opposed the colonial policies of the British in Africa, he opposes the “colonial” policies of America. He is a third world communist with a small “c” in the guise of an America citizen.
He REALLY believes Americans are too cool in summer, too warm in winter, too well fed and too well medicated, when compared with economic third world basket cases like Kenya.
AND he believes that the way to even the road between America and third world countries is to reduce America to their economic and political levels. And THAT is exactly what this monster has been doing all the while he has governed in America. And the movie brings it out VERY well.
That link appears to be defective. Anyone know where this movies is playing in the Chicago area?
The link doesn’t work.
I always considered Obama to be Al Sharpton with a Harvard law degree. I’ve come to realize he is much much worse. Haven’t seen the movie yet but definitely will.
I saw it...excellent. No editorializing...just the facts. D’Souza did a great job in backing up his hypothesis. Dummocraps are too emotionally involved to ever get it.
First, Dreams describes feelings Obama claims to have felt as a child or an adolescent. At that age, it's not unheard of for children to idealize an absent parent. But what the book relates doesn't convey whatever Obama's adult feelings may be, any more than an account of your childhood or mine would explain our current emotions and views.
Secondly, we know that the book played up the racial theme and the "Mother from Kansas, Father from Kenya" theme. Without the mixed race background and the foreign (absent) father, there wouldn't have been any story or any book or any fat book contract, so it was in the interest of whoever put the book together to give greater emphasis to a father who really didn't play much of a role in his son's life and to family myths that may not have been very important either.
I really doubt Obama had much emotionally invested in the family myths of Kenyan or Indonesian anti-colonialism that his father's and step-father's families circulated. Look to Chicago -- to Alinsky and to practical Chicago Democratic politics -- if you want to know where Obama is coming from, whatever ideas or feelings may be circulating in the background.
But the anti-colonial theme is very important to Dinesh D'Souza. He even attributes Obama's lack of interest in his half-brother George's difficulties to conflicts over imperialism and colonialism (when it's pretty obvious that family feelings are neither very warm or very deep in the Obama clan). But there's a reason for that. "Anti-colonial" Indians seized Dinesh's home city of Goa in the year he (and Obama) was born. So this stuff is very important to him.
For the rest of us -- not so much. Figuring out the rights and wrongs of colonialism and imperialism and anti-colonialism and anti-imperialism isn't easy. The answer isn't going to be a simple for or against. Pitting Thomas Jefferson and George Washington against "anti-colonialism" also looks way too oversimplified.
It should say “If you love him you don’t know him”.
I watched the movie today and have to say that the focus is exclusively on D’Souza’s perception on anti-colonialism. He pretty much gave a pass to every other issue and I think that there is more to Obama’s motives than anti-colonialism. I agree with the other poster that the clues hidden in Obama’s concealed records are vital to knowing for sure what is going on. If all Obama wanted to do was settle perceived wrongs, he still needs to have funding to do that, to get financing to do all that he’s done. I’m still of the opinion that he’s little more than a puppet and that D’Souza has given him more credit than he deserves.
I do believe that Obama wants to take down the USA, but I think that it is more than an anti-colonialism thing. I think that he’s been bought and paid for by people behind the scenes and that his payoff is $$$ and fame, power and position. All of that requires his cooperation and silence on things that could render him useless to them.
I would like to see this movie, but it won’t be playing in my home town. I’ll have to wait for it to be out on DVD, and the election might be over by then.
