We cannot oppose Barack Obama without also opposing the party he represents, along with Republicans who enable socialist engineering. Barack Obama is not the only socialist who seeks elective office in November.
Why do we oppose Barack Obama? As comedian Jackie Mason recently reminded us, Barack Obama is popular because of the way he looks, the way he talks, and the way he presents himself – but remember that’s his field of expertise. His primary accomplishments include looking good, lying with a straight face, and associating himself with powerful radical activists. When you think about it, he is exactly who un-American liberals want living in the White House. Last week, we argued that Barack Obama is an empty suit. This week, we should admit the suit isn’t completely empty … there are dangerous, anti-American forces at work within the Obama election infrastructure.
It is difficult to fathom the arrogance of someone who, after only 143 days in the U. S. Senate, announces he is ready to assume the mantle of the presidency. And what is it exactly that causes this egotism? It may be that Barack Obama has cleverly orchestrated a sophisticated behind-the-scenes mechanism designed to create conditions favorable to his election. It is a cooperative of followers of (anarchist) Saul Alinsky, busily implementing the so-called “The Cloward-Piven Strategy of Orchestrated Crisis.” According to The Nation magazine (1966), “The ‘Cloward-Piven Strategy’ seeks to hasten the fall of capitalism by overloading the government bureaucracy with a flood of impossible demands, thus pushing society into crisis and economic collapse.”
American Thinker illustrates the workings of this scheme in the following graph; one that demonstrates a well-funded program centered around George Soros’ Open Society Institute, managed by former SDS member Aryeh Neler, and facilitated by the now infamous Associations of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) (Note: Associations … plural). With 28 days to the National Elections, we do seem suddenly plagued with one financial catastrophe after another. Government bureaucracy is definitely overloaded, and society is being pushed into a sense of crisis. Fact, or fiction … the reader can decide for him or her self. But if it is only partially true, the implications present us with unsettling possibilities.
We are used to political organizations, such as the Democratic and Republican Party; but no one outside the radical left can be comfortable with an organization such as this. And if Barack Obama’s ego causes him to believe that he is brighter than most, and that he is ready to assume the mantle of the presidency … he could be correct – no one so far has been smart enough to figure out what is happening behind the scenes. Few mainstream journalists have seriously evaluated Obama’s connection to the anti-American, radical left; not the so-called conservative press, not the Republican Party, and none of the self-styled America-first organizations.
Barack Obama is dangerous for other reasons, too. On the one hand, it is possible to dismiss the junior senator as one of those people with advance degrees, lacking common sense. We can say that he is able to quote Marxist and anarchist rhetoric, but lacks a concomitant real world understanding of the implications of such radical ideas. But there is yet another possibility: Barack Obama knows exactly what he is doing. He knows precisely where he wants to take this country. And no one who understands this man’s motivations can feel comfortable with that perspective.
Barack Obama’s radicalism, thinly disguised by his subtle move to the political center-left, clearly repudiates everything America stands for. Conservative Americans may find themselves baffled by a man who professes love for the United States, but who then seeks to institute radical Marxist changes in government, in our courts, and within society … but not if we are watching and listening carefully to the Obama rhetoric. If we have not already dismissed common sense concern for his radicalism, if we have not already accepted Obama’s mild protestations of innocence, then we can recall the words of Jeremiah Wright on the pulpit (“g-damn America”) and we can say, “There is the real Barack Obama.” If we can focus on the obvious, we can draw a direct line between Jeremiah Wright’s church and the Black Racist ideology of the Nation of Islam and its leader, Louis Farrakhan – both of whom engage in the radicalization of the black community, then we know the real man behind the deceptively “empty suit.” The underlying, important question is, “Are Americans Paying Attention?”
By pursuing his radical, anti-American agenda, Barack Obama repudiates everything America stands for … and his rejection of our traditional values extends well beyond the sophomoric debate between capitalists and socialists, even if not altogether irrelevant. The United States is a great nation today because of our traditional values. Our forefathers rejected big government, and they were able to raise their families without having to rely on the mistaken notion that “Only a village can raise a child.” They avoided personal indebtedness, preferring to live within their means, and they denounced the idea that government is entitled to their hard-earned income. In the past, we celebrated entrepreneurial spirit; today we demean it. Today, encouraged by the poison of materialism and socialist entitlement programs, America is a nation of debtors; ever the opportunist, Barack Obama and his radical left organization is taking full advantage of our social and individual indolence.
Let us not forget that government largess feeds upon itself. Marxists use government to redistribute wealth; it is the great equalizer ensuring everyone is equally miserable. Obama is using Alinsky’s “community activism” to achieve that power, and socialist ideology to maintain it. We stand in opposition to Barack Obama and his machine politics because we reject Marxist/socialist government. It strips people of their individualism, their dignity, and their will to resist subjugation, but this is the goal of an Obama administration, gift wrapped with empty promises. In our view, Barack Obama is willing to do anything to achieve his objectives, legal or not. We categorically reject him as a new-age messiah, and we stand united against his anti-American programs and policies.
Our question to Obama supporters remains unanswered: “How is it possible to love America, and support Barack Obama?” The horror of radical left/Marxist ideology is Obama’s consistent and unfettered promise for America. It is why we oppose him. It is why we urge our readers to vote NO to Obama and NO to socialists in Congress.
They say there was no close relationship between Barack Obama and William Ayers, the terrorist from the Weather Underground. They say they were distant acquaintances, who sat on a board together and Obama was only eight when Ayers' group rained terror on this nation.
The funny thing about all of this is, the Obamatons are hitting anti-Obama blogs with a level of intensity unmatched by any previous elections, desperately trying to discredit anyone who makes this connection in their writings. They hit AC's blog Fore Left earlier today. Here's what one programmed Obamaton said in the comment section:
"Palling around with terrorists" is at best a gross exaggeration.
Racist? I don't know.
A lie? You betcha, Sarah.
Falsely tying Obama to someone he hasn't spoken to in years - and hardly knows - is'nt that surprising coming from a candidate with a recurring "truth" problem.
After the "lie to nowhere" and Palin's repeated problems with the truth ("I was for the troopergate investigation before I was against it"), smearing an opponent is pretty much all that's left.
You're right; these are interesting times. Apparently desperate times too - at least for one campaign.
Children who kill are called "super predators," "people with no conscience," "feral pre-social beings" -- and "adults."
William Ayers, author of A Kind and Just Parent: The Children of Juvenile Court (Beacon Press, 1997), says "We should call a child a child. A 13-year-old who picks up a gun isn't suddenly an adult. We have to ask other questions: How did he get the gun? Where did it come from?"
Ayers, who spent a year observing the Cook County Temporary Juvenile Detention Center in Chicago, is one of four panelists who will speak on juvenile justice at 6 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 20, in the C-Shop. The panel, which marks the 100th anniversary of the juvenile justice system in the United States, is part of the Community Service Center's monthly discussion series on issues affecting the city of Chicago. The event is free and open to the public.
Ayers will be joined by Sen. Barack Obama, Senior Lecturer in the Law School, who is working to combat legislation that would put more juvenile offenders into the adult system; Randolph Stone, Director of the Mandel Legal Aid Clinic; Alex Correa, a reformed juvenile offender who spent seven years in Cook County Temporary Detention Center; Frank Tobin, a former priest and teacher at the Detention Center who helped Correa; and Willy Baldwin, who grew up in public housing and is currently a teacher at the Detention Center.
The juvenile justice system was founded by Chicago reformer Jane Addams, who advocated the establishment of a separate court system for children which would act like a "kind and just parent" for children in crisis.
One hundred years later, the system is "overcrowded, under-funded, over-centralized and racist," Ayers said.
Michelle Obama, Associate Dean of Student Services and Director of the University Community Service Center, hopes bringing issues like this to campus will open a dialogue between members of the University community and the broader community.
"Students and faculty explore these issues in the classroom, but it is an internal conversation," Obama said. "We know that issues like juvenile justice impact the city of Chicago, this nation and -- directly or indirectly -- this campus. This panel gives students a chance to hear about the juvenile justice system not only on a theoretical level, but from the people who have experienced it."
I rather imagine they've had a conversation or two before this, as well as one the night of this event.
Better yet, think about this a second: What would you bet they forgot about this particular write-up and it disappears off of the UC paper's website, before the election? Well, rest assured it will be preserved here at the archives of PYY for evermore and a day.
Mustang has found a blogger named Tom, who has done some serious work by gathering and listing the different kinds of sausages, found on the menu in the Congressional snack bar. This is a list that beats all others ever put out before it.
Take a good look at it. You will clearly see that the American people have been tricked, no, scammed into supporting a bailout plan to save the economy.
People, it's time to vote everyone that voted yes on this thing, out of office and into the private sector. If not now, when will it be?
Make no mistake here, the Colts did not win this game. Houston LOST this game. The Colts had no offense, no running game, and no defense for the bulk of this game. And yet, they were able to pull down a "W".
Don't get me wrong, I am tickled they pulled it out. But I have to feel bad for the Houston QB who played a great game and kept Manning off of the field, until it mattered most. The lesson he needs to take away from this? Take care of the ball. Because if you do not, veteran teams will make you pay for it if given the opportunity.
Indy scored 21 points in the span of two minutes and some change. Unfortunately for Houston, they came at the end of the game.
I didn't get to see this one, but this is a big win for Washington. They needed to win this one, because keeping pace with the Giants is going to be one tough task.
Even without Brady, these guys are finding a way to win. this says much about the team as a whole. It's good that the team can play well, taking pressure off of Cassel. This gives him time to develop.
Right now, there is no other team playing better than the Giants. These guys are the team to beat. To be the champs, you have to beat the champs and so far, no one has. They did this without Burris, who was suspended for the game for a team rules violation of some kind. This sends a message to him and the rest of the NFL, they don't need him.
Not only do we get mail asking for advice on relationships and professional quandaries, with the current credit crunch, we are now seeing a marked increase in letters asking for sound financial counsel.
Here is one we received recently:
Dear LA,
My husband an I have two small pre-school children, have a combined income of $ 45,000 annually, and a mortgage of $1500 per month. We are living in a home that we paid $350,000 for, in 2006.
On our loan contract, it is clearly stated that our payment would be $1000 per month, but that it could go up after two years. Nowhere did it say that it would go up. This is so unfair.
In addition, our credit cards (6) are currently maxed out, two have a balance of $5,000, two at $7,500, and two at $10,000. I am beginning to think we have bitten off more than we can chew and there is no way we will ever dig out of this mess. I am also beginning to think there is no hope and we will be in debt forever.
I cannot face my friends anymore and am so embarrassed. What can we do?
Buried In Debt
Dear Buried,
First of all, you must take a deep breath and relax. There is always hope.
Here are some options at your disposal, it's as easy as A-B-C:
A. If you are Hispanic you can contact La Raza. If you are Black, you can contact ACORN. Either of these fine organizations can pressure the greedy white-owned racist banks to lay off of you.
B. You can write some bad checks for your house payments. This will buy you and your hubby some more time to live in a house that was far out of your income range and you never should have bought, to start with.
C. If none of this is successful, immediately purchase a new houseboat and van.
When you have exhausted all appeals in the process and are a week away from the "final notice to vacate" date, move all of your furniture into storage. (Remember to take the dishwasher, stove, and refrigerator that came with your house, and do not forget to take a sledge hammer to the walls of the house as you leave, to show those evil rich bankers a thing or two.)
You, then, can put the houseboat in Florida and park the van down by the river. Consider this an upgrade in lifestyle, because at that point in time, you can tell people you have a winter home in Florida and a summer home where you live now. That way, you'll be the envy of all your friends.
This week we have three bands from the 70s and one from the 80s, with a geographical location as a name.
Three sons of British mothers and American fathers got together and formed one of the most successful folk rock bands in music history. Their hits spanned the 70s and early 80s and I was fortunate enough to catch a show of theirs in Manhattan Kansas, way back in 1978. They called themselves America and here is my favorite song from their long list, Sister Golden Hair:
I never had a chance to catch these guys, although I was stationed right around the corner from their old stomping grounds. The bulk of the band was from Topeka, one from Manhattan. Together they created a distinctive sound that was to become a marker for 70s and 80s progressive rock. Here is one of my favorites from Kansas, Icarus (Borne On Wings Of Steel):
Opening the show for America was a little known band that didn't quite make the break into national stardom, while they had the chance. Not sure precisely why, but nevertheless, they had one song that in my estimation was a real gem. See if you remember it, here is Missouri and their signature song, Movin' On:
Moving from the Midwest portion of the North American continent all the way to Scandinavia, this next song comes from a band named after its continent. I found these guys to have a similar sound to David Coverdale's band, Whitesnake. With one month left in the Presidential election it is a good way to end this weekend's installment. Here is Europe and their huge mega-hit, The Final Countdown:
O.J. Simpson, who went from American sports idol to celebrity-in-exile after he was acquitted of murder in 1995, was found guilty Friday of robbing two sports-memorabilia dealers at gunpoint in a Las Vegas hotel room.
Don't write off the possibility of getting a new trial from the appeals courts, just yet. Meanwhile, in other news, the polar ice cap has reached hell due to an unseasonal cold front and in Iowa, some pigs were already spotted flying south for the winter.
I am agitated right now. I am really irritated that this pork-packed scam (otherwise known as a bailout) bill has passed. It's to the point that I am anxiously wondering just where America is going to get its leadership from, for the next four years.
Congress isn't going to lead. Obama isn't going to lead (properly). And judging from McCain's vote for this big sausage fry at the tax-payers' expense, I am very skeptical about him leading (properly).
As sad as this entire situation is, I was perusing this morning's Indy Star and I was at least able to muster up a chuckle at this cartoon.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has directed nearly $100,000 from her political action committee to her husband's real estate and investment firm over the past decade, a practice of paying a spouse with political donations that she supported banning last year.
I distinctly remember Nancy telling the nation that the new Democratic-controlled Congress was going to be the most ethical ever. But as the article states, it isn't:
Financial Leasing Services Inc. (FLS), owned by Paul F. Pelosi, has received $99,000 in rent, utilities and accounting fees from the speaker's "PAC to the Future" over the PAC's nine-year history.
The payments have quadrupled since Mr. Pelosi took over as treasurer of his wife's committee in 2007, Federal Election Commission records show. FLS is on track to take in $48,000 in payments this year alone - eight times as much as it received annually from 2000 to 2005, when the committee was run by another treasurer.
Pelosi paying hubby, Rangel isn't paying his taxes, and William Jefferson still hasn't faced a trial. I guess they are going to get away with it, as usual.
The moderator of tomorrow's vice-presidential debate is writing a book to come out on the day the next president takes the oath of office that aims to "shed new light" on Democratic candidate Barack Obama and other "emerging young African American politicians" who are "forging a bold new path to political power."
She should excuse herself. If this were a trial, this would be enough for a mistrial. But no one from the MSM will call her on it, and like the unethical and illegal activities of the Democrats in Congress, she'll get away with it.
Obamatons, please tell us all again how wrong we are, in our claims that the MSM is biased and in the tank for Obama.
Yesterday, I posted on the story of Gerald T. Meyers, the sex offender that never registered as required by Indiana law and recipient of the coveted PYY Depraved Bastard Of The Week Award. The late Mr. Meyers met his demise literally at the hands of the father, of the teenage daughter who who was his intended victim.
Well, today Prosecutor Carl Brizzi announced that no charges would be filed, saying that the father was legally justified in protecting his daughter. Now, one would wonder why this would even be an issue, until one happens to stumble upon this follow-up article in the Indianapolis Star.
"The underlying premise is that victims of crime can have an opportunity to defend themselves if they choose to do so," said Andrew Arulanandam, a spokesman for the National Rifle Association, which has been a supporter of the push for stronger laws.
But other advocates and state lawmakers say the expansion of such laws could promote violence as a means of retaliation and point to examples of the laws' abuse in other states.
"The concern I've had is that by changing well-developed law, maybe we're encouraging more people to shoot first," said Paul Helmke, president of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, which has opposed the strengthening of force laws.
Let's get one thing straight here. If you are in my home unannounced, uninvited, and are conducting yourself in a threatening manner, you had better have life insurance and a will made out. I won't be happy about what I will do. But make no mistake, I will have no regrets.
I knew it would only be a matter of time before the liberal anit-gun do-gooders would want to weigh in on this. I am still waiting for the ACLU to become involved in some perverted way, like they often do.
It can be hell, if a boss mistreats or takes advantage of a very dependable member of the team, especially if it's at crunch time during a Presidential campaign. Rumors have been flying that someone on Obama's team is not happy and is threatening to cause all kinds of havoc, if things do not change.
Personally. I think he has Obama in a jam and he does mean business.
