Obama’s statement that working class people “cling to guns and religion” reminds me of the Marxist claim that religion is the “opiate of the masses.” In fact, I rather suspect that Obama borrowed the image from Marx in the first place.

The fact that BO even has a chance of getting elected President sends thrills up Chris Matthews’ leg and chills up my spine. He said in his bio that he learned early that the way to handle white people was to speak softly and to avoid any sudden movements so as to avoid frightening them. Well, he has managed to frighten me.

How many kids want some old fart reading them poetry? No wonder he is on the down low.

Obama responds to the latest revelations:

"Frank Davis was a poet and I didn't even know it."

“Smash on, victory-eating Red Army,” indeed. Considering pure military capability and effectiveness, I also have marvelled at Stalin’s Red Army of ‘45. If one truly needed anything destroyed utterly, only the American nukes could rival the Soviet groundpounders’ ability to provide satisfaction. At the end of World War II, there was the malevolent, threatening bulk of the Russian Army, and there was the credible, demonstrated, city-vaporizing, first-strike capability of the American Army Air Corps and Navy, and then there was all the rest put together.

Great post! Could Obama be a “sleeper?”

It’s difficult to imagine they are so blatantly antiAmerican!

This review is from: Unholy Alliance: Radical Islam and the American Left (Hardcover)

I had long wondered why people on the Left had the propensity to speak more positively about people who would slit their throats than they do about their own country, which affords them more freedom and opportunity than anywhere else. David Horowitz has answered that question thoroughly and convincingly in his Unholy Alliance. Where I felt bewildered and confused, I now feel crystal clear. Unholy Alliance is such a great book.

It begins with the leftist movements at the beginning of the 20th Century, and works its way up to the present day, exploring the anti-American attitude of these movements in detail. Horowitz shows that the enemies of the US back then are largely the same group today, operating under the same misperceptions, making the same mistakes, and pursuing the same impossible utopia.

Individual chapters are included on the Patriot Act (I was persuaded that it is a GOOD thing); the democratic flip-flop on Iraq once G.W. Bush implemented what they agreed with Clinton needed to be done; the driving components of the current anti-war movement; as well as chapters on individual personalities who are major spokespeople of the Left. Horowitz covers a lot of ground, and he covers it concisely and clearly. Unholy Alliance is richly informative without ever being boring or plodding.

This book is so illuminating that I simply cannot do justice to it here. I love people who reason so clearly that they help me get my own reasoning clear. Horowitz is just that type of person! In the terrain of mindless clichés (no-blood-for-oil, etc.), he is a breath of real fresh air.
