They do a very good job pointing out all of Obama’s socialist ties.

So, what have we learned here today? Well, liberals ARE Marxists. If they weren’t, why would they pall around with them and turn their head?

WAKE UP AMERICA!

One thread has a map of all Obama’s “friends” in the neighborhood. And how many blocks they live from Obama. These new radicals should be added.

This here proves that Obama was a member of the New Party. As a new party endorsed candidate he would have had to sign a contract pledgeing support to their marxist ideas.

From the New Party website itself:

http://web.archive.org/web/20010306031216/www.newparty.org/up9610.html

“Illinois: Three NP-members won Democratic primaries last Spring and face off against Republican opponents on election day: Danny Davis (U.S. House), Barack Obama (State Senate) and Patricia Martin (Cook County Judiciary).”

Here’s more detail what the New Party member/candidates had to do to get endorsement:

“Both Palmer and Delgado attended the forum and were thoroughly questioned by 70 or so New Party members. At the close, both publicly signed a “contract” with the New Party that was more formal and detailed than the agreement with Chandler. Two weeks later, the New Party formally endorsed them and is now mobilizing support.”

Obama would have had to do the same thing. Also, he was Palmer’s hand picked successor.

“African Americans have fought hard for these positions. His seniority is extremely important and we should not make light of it,” said former state Sen. Alice Palmer, a veteran leader of the state’s black independent political movement who had touted Obama as her successor when she gave up her seat in an unsuccessful bid for Congress.”

I get that all the time. The folks I know wouldn't give a whit if he declared himself a Maoist. They honestly wouldn't.

We've become a nation of soul-less zombies. I guess that's what happens when people turn their backs on God. They become incapable or unwilling to determine good from evil. Evil's going to win every time when that's the case.

A few days ago, I was telling some Left Coast Liberals about Obama’s Marxist ties and actions. They totally shocked me when, to a person, they told me it didn’t bother them in the least that he is a Marxist. I like these guys a lot, and other than this, they seem very level headed and normal.

Well, then perhaps it wouldn't make any difference in the election....darn. My hubby is of the opinion that people that vote for Obama actually want socialism because they want to be taken care of. He might be right.

I dunno....the libs I know here in Mexifornia don't seem level headed or normal in any respect! You must know a different type of lib. I can hardly stand to live here and would love to leave ASAP. So many I know are cut from the same cloth and are liberal in all areas of their lives. The thing I hate the most, though, is hearing about how screwed up their children and grandchildren are - shacking up, illegitimate babies, irresponsible spending....but they don't seem to recognize that their actions as parents (divorce, screwing around) created the mess. They take no responsibility whatsoever. Don't even see it (or pretend not to).

Also, the New Party was dominated by ACORN in Chicago:

“But the nature of Chicago ACORN is secondary to the inevitable dynamics of the situation. As the single 800 pound gorilla in the Chicago New Party, it doesn’t leave a lot of room for newcomers to participate except on ACORN’s terms. This will make it difficult for the New Party to have a life apart from ACORN. The element that seems to be present in Milwaukee but absent in Chicago is organized labor.”

But Sarah Palin prayed for the Alaska Independence Party, so that cancels this out, doesn’t it?

The thing is, no one but us cares. They don’t care if he’s a socialist because they are, too. It’s not going to shock anyone.

This group endorsed Barack Obama for IL State Senate in 1996

A Town Meeting on Economic Insecurity:
Employment and Survival in Urban America
By Bob Roman

Over three hundred people attended the first of two Town Meetings on Economic Insecurity on February 25 in Ida Noyes Hall at the University of Chicago. Entitled “Employment and Survival in Urban America”, the meeting was sponsored by the UofC DSA Youth Section, Chicago DSA and University Democrats.

The panelists were Toni Preckwinkle, Alderman of Chicago’s 4th Ward; Barack Obama, candidate for the 13th Illinois Senate District; Professor William Julius Wilson, Center for the Study of Urban Inequality at the University of Chicago; Professor Michael Dawson, University of Chicago; and Professor Joseph Schwartz, Temple University and a member of DSA’s National Political Committee.

The meeting demonstrated that economic insecurity is an issue not exclusive to Buchanan Republicans. It is a vital issue for the left as well. More than that, it illustrated that, unlike the Right, the democratic left has a number of potential solutions that go beyond mere demagoguery...

Barack Obama observed that Martin Luther King’s March on Washington in the 1960s wasn’t simply about civil rights but demanded jobs as well. Now the issue is again coming to the front, but he wished the issue was on the Democratic agenda not just on Buchanan’s.

One of the themes that has emerged in Barack Obama’s campaign is “what does it take to create productive communities”, not just consumptive communities. It is an issue that joins some of the best instincts of the conservatives with the better instincts of the left. He felt the state government has three constructive roles to play.

The first is “human capital development”. By this he meant public education, welfare reform, and a “workforce preparation strategy”. Public education requires equality in funding. It’s not that money is the only solution to public education’s problems but it’s a start toward a solution. The current proposals for welfare reform are intended to eliminate welfare but it’s also true that the status quo is not tenable. A true welfare system would provide for medical care, child care and job training. While Barack Obama did not use this term, it sounded very much like the “social wage” approach used by many social democratic labor parties. By “workforce preparation strategy”, Barack Obama simply meant a coordinated, purposeful program of job training instead of the ad hoc, fragmented approach used by the State of Illinois today.

The state government can also play a role in redistribution, the allocation of wages and jobs. As Barack Obama noted, when someone gets paid $10 million to eliminate 4,000 jobs, the voters in his district know this is an issue of power not economics. The government can use as tools labor law reform, public works and contracts.

Finally, Illinois needs an industrial strategy. How do we create more jobs for everyone? Illinois has no strategy for encouraging high wage, high productivity jobs...

Chicago DSA Endorsements in the March 19th Primary Election

Barack Obama
Barack Obama is running to gain the Democratic ballot line for Illinois Senate 13th District. The 13th District is Alice Palmer’s old district, encompassing parts of Hyde Park and South Shore.

Mr. Obama graduated from Columbia University and promptly went into community organizing for the Developing Communities Project in Roseland and Altgeld Gardens on the far south side of Chicago. He went on to Harvard University, where he was editor of the Harvard Law Review. He graduated with a law degree. In 1992, he was Director of Illinois Project Vote, a voter registration campaign that made Carol Moseley Braun’s election to the U.S. Senate much easier than it would have been. At present, he practices law in Judson Miner’s law firm and is President of the board of the Annenberg Challenge Grant which is distributing some $50 million in grants to public school reform efforts.

What best characterizes Barack Obama is a quote from an article in Illinois Issues, a retrospective look at his experience as a community organizer while he was completing his degree at Harvard:

“... community organizations and organizers are hampered by their own dogmas about the style and substance of organizing. Most practice ... a ‘consumer advocacy’ approach, with a focus on wrestling services and resources from outside powers that be. Few are thinking of harnessing the internal productive capacities, both in terms of money and people, that already exist in communities.” (Illinois issues, September, 1988)

Luckily, Mr. Obama does not have any opposition in the primary. His opponents have all dropped out or were ruled off the ballot. But if you would like to contribute to his campaign, make the check payable to Friends of Barack Obama, 2154 E. 71st, Chicago, IL 60649. If you would like to become involved in his campaign, call the headquarters at (312) 363-1996.


BARACK OBAMA IS NOTHING BUT A POLITICAL WHORE.

IT IS CLEAR THAT OBAMA ALIGNS HIMSELF WITH ANY POLITICAL PARTY NO MATTER WHAT THEIR VIEWS ARE JUST TO GET ELECTED AND GET THE POWER HE CRAVES.

HE HAS ALIGNED HIMSELF WITH AT LEAST THREE DISTINCT POLITICAL PARTIES IN HIS POLITICAL CAREER:

The New Party
The Democratic Socialists of America
The Democratic Party of America

OBAMA IS ONLY A PUPPET...WHO ARE HIS HANDLERS???????
