Jeremiah Wright, Father Michael Pfleger, William Ayers and Antoin Rezko are not just people who happened to be at the same place at the same time as Barack Obama. They are people with whom he chose to ally himself for years, and with some of whom some serious money changed hands.

BINGO!

Alliances indeed, Mr. Sowell, thank you.

Who is The Real Barack Obama?

Obama's "Unholy Alliance" -- Marxist Radicalism in support of Islamist Radicalism

The Cloward-Piven Strategy
Alinsky's "Luciferian" Rules Tactics

Click the links -- Send them to everyone: media, elected officials of all parties, campaign organizers, friends, family, neighbors -- the naive and unsuspecting Obama supporters you know.

Read the evidence indicating that Barack Obama seeks to grow government either directly into socialism, or into economic collapse, in order to bring an ACORN-agitated Socialist revolution. That was the goal of Saul Alinsky. That is the Cloward-Piven Strategy apparently of Frank Marshall Davis, Khalid Abdullah Tariq al-Mansour, ACORN, William Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn, et. al., who have played such essential roles in the development of both the private and public Barack Obama.

James Simpson, a former White House economist, has just published "Barack Obama & the Strategy of Manufactured Crisis" - on AmericanThinker.com at http://www.americanthinker.com/2008/09/barack_obama_and_the_strategy.html

Listen to this Interview of James Simpson, by Sandy Rios, Tuesday 9/30 - WYLL 1160AM, Chicago, IL
From http://www.culturecampaign.com/culturecorner.aspx

Further documentation connecting the dots of all the neo-Marxists who have invested in the development of Barack Obama may be found on discoverthenetworks.org

Simpson documents his research in his article, providing Web links. He provides a rough flow chart.


"CHANGE"

Let's change things for these murderous Marxists.

Give everyone in America a new vocabulary term: The Cloward-Piven Strategy.

And I have a question to the Obama investigators out there: Is it possible for someone to have roughly projected the time of the mortgage crisis -- with one or more banks? Based upon such data as default projections, could it have been possible to even trigger it? Herbert and Marion Sandler, in 2006, for example?

Further corrobration on Obama & The Cloward-Piven Strategy:

Obama, Voter Fraud & Mortgage Meltdown, by James H. Walsh, former federal prosecutor.

More on the the Islamist/Radical side:

Barack Obama & Raila Odinga, Marxist & Islamist cousin of Obama, despotic leader in Kenya

Barack Obama & Khalid Al-Mansour, old Black Panther friend of Ayers & Dohrn, who raised funds to get Obama into Harvard

I've read Freddoso’s book and it is a very informative read, chocked full of factual evidence...just as Dr. Sowell said, how Obama managed to rise so quickly in politics is quite remarkable, given the assistance he received from the likes of John Stroger, Emil Jones, and Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley.

McCain has got to get Obama to answer the question of EXACTLY when and where he met Bill Ayers, and what exactly did he and Ayers do together.

Obama could then be caught in a lie, perhaps with videotape or testimony of someone with the truth.

Excerpted - “Obama could have allied himself with all sorts of other people. But, time and again, he allied himself with people who openly expressed their hatred of America. No amount of flags on his campaign platforms this election year can change that.”

This, for all intents and purposes, is my standard answer, when asked why my opposition to Barack Obama is so visceral.

I think I will put it on a T-shirt.

Who is Raila Odinga

0bama 2008

Senator Barack Obama’s grandmother Sarah Obama, Prime Minister Raila Odinga and the US ambassador, Mr Michael Ranneberger, during the 232nd US Independence Day celebrations at the ambassador’s residence in Muthaiga, Nairobi.

Sen Obama has visited his Kenyan relatives three times in Kogelo, while step-grandmother has gone to the US twice. The two speak to each other.

Raila is the Muslim PM of Kenya

Ayers and his execrable wife are very much allies of Obama. Don’t be mistaken about that.

And note how Mrs. Obama, that angry, unpleasant, never satisfied, always complaining wife, has been pushed out of sight.

I like and admire Thomas Sowell, but I think he is mistaken about Obama not being a Muslim.

When you consider all the facts, the evidence is OVERWHELMING:

That book is titled "The Case Against Barack Obama" by David Freddoso

I just read through the first 120 pages of this which details his days as a state senator and how he has essentially never had to run a against anyone credible--the closest he's really ever had is against Alan Keyes, and even though I like Alan, he was cannon fodder in that race.

For those of you who that care, do a quick search for the name Emil Jones. That should be enough to get you hopping mad.

Thomas Sowell is so wise, he's too wise to get into the institution of politics. But his insights are like gold nuggets in a field of coal lumps:

David Freddoso's book should be read by those people who want to know what the facts are. But neither this book nor anything else is likely to change the minds of Obama's true believers, who have made up their minds and don't want to be confused by the facts.

Past associations or past alliances, whatever you call them, are tremendously important because they indicate characer and character goes to TRUST. It is trust that is of utmost importance in our elected officials. For example, in January there will be a new Sec. of the Treasury who will be in control of the 850 billion congress has just voted to spend.

How important is it that the new Sec. Treasury be a man we can trust to properly administer this money?

Some gave political support, and some gave financial support, to Obama's election campaigns, and Obama in turn contributed either his own money or the taxpayers' money to some of them. That is a familiar political alliance— but an alliance is not just an "association" from being at the same place at the same time.

Obama could have allied himself with all sorts of other people. But, time and again, he allied himself with people who openly expressed their hatred of America. No amount of flags on his campaign platforms this election year can change that.

What a crystal clear expression of the issue. I hope it gets out to the people.

Dr. Sowell has a marvelous ability to get right to the heart of things. Palin and McCain need to change to the word alliances, because there truly is a significant difference.

Americans are being frighteningly naive about Senator Obama, never seeming to question that the puppeteers who have programmed and introduced him onto the American stage have a plan for this nation that does not coincide with the ideals of the Declaration and United States Constitution.

The liberty of millions yet unborn hangs in the balance in this election, and between now and Election Day, someone needs to expose those who control Obama's agenda.

Great post. Sowell’s distinction between association and alliance is crucial to understanding the validity of a campaign strategy that some would deem unsavory. But it is the unsavory alliances of Obama that make such a strategy necessary and legitimate. Focus on alliances when discussing these issues with friends, family, and neighbors.

The moderator of the Palin-Biden debates, an “African-American woman is, we are told writing a book about the “new” African-American politician’s including Obama.

And her effort is not without much media attention about it either. Though, those of us who are not in “the media” must wonder if people like Michael Steele, former Lt. Governor of Maryland or Kenneth Blackwell, former Ohio Secretary of State and former (2006) Ohio GOP Candidate for Governor will be in her book.

But, while we all so ever anxiously await that book - not - we could wonder (if we were ignorant) where all her media friends are when we have an African-American Presidential candidate and one of America’s most prolific, most intelligent economic commentators has had so much to say about Obama, but the media pretends that he, Thomas Sowell, does not exist.

We must assume that they, and Obama, are deathly scared of Sowell, because he not only demolishes Obama, intellectually, he demolishes the myth that to be a great African-American with a great intellect one must be a liberal.
