Former Occidental College mate: Obama an “ardent Marxist-Leninist”

Loading

In between the establishment GOP elected elite and their fellow pundits, all in an uproar about Newt’s rise in the polls, and the Ron Paul supporters pouring on the steam pushing their guy… let’s have another type of fun, shall we? After all, these are the days when people like Palin and Cain are tried in the court of public opinion based on past confessions and accusations. It would be a pity to leave Obama out of our new age justice system.

Seems that an old story is rebounding via Selwyn Duke over at the New American today. An old Occidental College contemporary of Obama’s three decades ago – John Drew, himself a self-described Marxist at the time – says that Obama was an “ardent Marxist-Leninist” during his years there, and as of today, Drew doesn’t think he’s changed one iota.

Drew doesn’t believe the President has changed, either, and I agree. I explained why in a follow-up to Kengor’s piece, writing:

Some may say that a person can change markedly over a 30-year period. This is true.

…Yet a transition from flat-out “Marxist-Leninist” to someone who rejects the red menace is a pretty big change, don’t you think? In fact, wouldn’t such a personal evolution — some might say revolution — be a kind of conversion? I think so.

…There’s an interesting thing, however, about conversions.

You hear about them.

You see, a conversion is a sea change, a rebirth, a turning point in your existence. You may become, as Christians say, a new creation, and you’re at least a reformed old one. And you reflect your new state of being and often want to voice it.

And those around you will know about it.

As for this writer, everyone who knows me would say that my religious conversion was a seminal point in my life.

Now consider something. Barack Obama is one of the most famous, most discussed individuals on the planet.

But we have not heard about any soul-changing conversion in his life.

Not a whisper.

Nothing.

Nothing that could reconcile the flat-out Marxist-Leninist Obama was in his college days with the man he supposedly is today. There’s no one who says, “Yeah, he was a radical guy in his youth, and I just couldn’t believe how he became disenchanted with his old ideas.”

At the time, Drew…who says he “…was a more nuanced Marxist”… attempted to convince Obama that old style Communist revolution was unrealistic for Western nations. Obama, disagreeing, considered Drew a “reactionary”, and would have none of that nonsense.

But, as referenced above in his article today, Mr. Duke was not the first to report on John Drew’s emergence with his not so surprising revelation of Obama’s penchant for Marxism. That would actually be American Thinker’s Paul Kengor, who, in his article one day shy of a year ago, called John Drew “Obama’s Missing Link”. Drew surfaced about a year before Kengor penned the article, contacting him after reading an piece he had written on Frank Davis and Obama. Apparently, like so many these days, he had something he wanted to get off his chest.

Drew had some significant experiences to share, and he e-mailed me just before I turned in my final manuscript. I concluded that he was legitimate (no question) and recorded his testimony at length.

Drew was a contemporary of Obama at Occidental College and a Marxist himself. In fact, Drew was a well-known campus communist when Obama was introduced to him as “one of us.” “Obama was already an ardent Marxist when I met in the fall of 1980,” said Drew, going on the record.

Drew is certainly cognizant of the gravity of his statement. “I know it’s incendiary to say this,” he adds, but Obama “was basically a Marxist-Leninist.” He noted how Obama, in Dreams from My Father, stated that when he got to college, he attended “socialist conferences” and “hung out” with Marxist professors. But what Obama did not explain or clarify, says Dr. Drew, is that Obama “was in 100 percent, total agreement with these Marxist professors.”

At the time of that writing, Drew admitted he did not know the POTUS today, so could only comment on the Obama college student he knew. But after three years of Obama in the WH, that no longer appears to be the case. The decades ago discussion about the feasibility of modern day Communist revolutions – and which one was the more radical – bears repeating verbatim.

Drew doesn’t believe the President has changed, either, and I agree.

~~~

In fact, Drew states that while he was a more nuanced Marxist who tried to convince Obama that old-style communist revolution was unrealistic in the West, the future President would have none of it and considered Drew a “reactionary.”

So what say ye? Since we’ve crucified past GOP candidates and conservatives, based on little more than an accuser from the past, coming forward, shall we do the same to Obama? While Selwyn Duke didn’t equate the trial-by-media mentality into which we have evolved, he did touch on that observation indirectly in his piece…

Perhaps we don’t have proof beyond a reasonable doubt that would stand up in a criminal proceeding for either of the above propositions. But asking for it is unreasonable and irresponsible. In the court of public opinion, there must be no higher burden than in a civil court: a preponderance of the evidence. And a preponderance of it in the President’s case points to a simple conclusion: Barack Obama is likely a communist or communist sympathizer.

Have fun… it will give everyone a chance to vent their frustrations and anger out on someone who isn’t a GOP candidate for a change.

And the swift boating begins again. Lie and slander.

In one of Obama’s so-called ”auto” biographies is this:

Joyce, a multiracial person, like Obama, told him she was not going to go to a Black Students meeting.
She explained that whites were OK with her multiculturalism BUT BLACKS insisted she call herself ”black.”
Obama reacts to this thusly:

To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully.
The more politically active black students.
The foreign students.
The Chicanos.
The Marxist professors and structural feminists and punk-rock performance poets.
We smoked cigarettes and wore leather jackets.
At night, in the dorms, we discussed necolonialism, Franz Fanon, Eurocentrism, and patriarchy.
When we ground out our cigarettes in the hallway carpet or set our stereos so loud that the walls began to shake, we were resisting bourgeois society’s stifling constraints.
We weren’t indifferent or careless or insecure.
We were alienated.
But this strategy alone couldn’t provide the distance I wanted, from Joyce or my past.
After all, there were thousands of so-called campus radicals, most of them white and tenured and happily tolerated.
No, it remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.

“Dreams from My Father” [pg. 100-101]

Obama is still doing the same thing.
We see him with bare feet in the Oval office.
He lets people he doesn’t agree with cool their heels for hours, be they the Dali Lama, the PM of Israel, the press.
He thoughtlessly labels the police as “stupid acting.”

He was also a member of the Chicago New Party, they attempted to scrub all references from the web, silly people, once it’s out there, it’s out there:

“….Barack Obama was endorsed by an organization known as the Chicago “New Party”. The ‘New Party’ was a political party established by the Democratic Socialists of America (the DSA) to push forth the socialist principles of the DSA by focusing on winnable elections at a local level and spreading the Socialist movement upwards. The admittedly Socialist Organization experienced a moderate rise in numbers between 1995 and 1999. By 1999, however, the Socialist ‘New Party’ was essentially defunct after losing a supreme court challenge that ruled the organizations “fusion” reform platform as unconstitutional.

See, here it is, I’ve also seen a newspaper clipping of it:

From the October 1996 Update of the DSA ‘New Party’:
“New Party members are busy knocking on doors, hammering down lawn signs, and phoning voters to support NP candidates this fall. Here are some of our key races…

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).”

Obama is a chameleon, he can be whatever, a socialist, marxist, leninist, and at the same time be whatevet his little foot soldiers think he is.

Danny Davis also participated in one of those white gloved Rev. Moon ceremonies, cash is cool, it’s obvious that some lefties will participate in events their brethren frown upon. Illinois, just got to love it, lol.

Mata,

1. In contrast to John Drew’s “Some may say that a person can change markedly over a 30-year period. This is true.” – I just don’t believe we change. You are what you were, although you may alter behaviour to accommodate your progress.

2. I asked someone who has become a friend in recent years, after he went stone cold turkey off Smoking, Drinking and Drugs over 10 years ago, . . . Q.: “Do you ever get a hankering for any of it?” A.: “Every day.” Q.: “Why don’t you give in. What holds you back?” A.: “I love it too much.”

That blew me away. A brilliant observation and acknowledgement. It is why he will never go back. He knows what drugs will do to him. He won’t touch them, but he still loves them.

This came to mind when thinking about Obama’s relationship to socialism and communism. There is no doubt about his roots and what he was. His like-minded handlers now manipulate him to their own ends.

I strongly suspect that most Americans, other than his willfully blind or willfull followers, are having difficulting accepting the fact that a Marxist was elected to lead the United States of America. It’s just too impossible a reality to accept.

Why must he reveal himelf? Do you have the critical thinking abililty to discern for yourself? I don’t think you do.
Obama is a pro-capitalist, free-market pig like every democrat and every republican. For those who claim he is a socialist or a marxist are ignorant fools who rely on others to explain the world for them. I studied with a student of Marx. Obama is no marxist. Why is it that conservatives continue to claim that he is even though every socialist despises him? Is there a consipiracy so deep and so complicated that even socialists are in the dark about Obama secret socialist agenda? Or are conservatives just so stupid that they honestly think this to be true?

We’re going to see how open the Democrat Party is to their new black friend when they find out he’s harassing Occidental College colleagues as opposed to black women. That sort of thing of black sexuality — predatory black sexuality. Very frightening in this country, still. Very threatening. So we’ll see how that plays out.

Oh wait, that wasn’t a quote about Obama, it was a blatantly racist quote about Herman Cain…

“We’re going to see how open the GOP is to their new black friend when they find out he’s harassing blonde women as opposed to black women. That sort of thing of black sexuality — predatory black sexuality. Very frightening in this country, still. Very threatening. So we’ll see how that plays out. “ – Source

Comments and thinking like that demonstrated in #5 above, may not make much sense, or hold any logical coherence, and this one is just a balloon, nevertheless, they seem to be prevalent amongst the socialist ideologues supporting Obama.

They seem not grasp that their leadership only seeks power and fortune at their expense.

Some can’t grasp that their ‘heir leader’ is really just a self-serving goof, quite R.W. & A. to do whatever is expedient to satisfy his narcissistic needs and expectations.

Pro-capitalist? Obama’s un-inquisitive mind never bothered to look up the definition of capitalism, or anything remotely related to economics or ‘work’ for that matter. He’s not even a very astute socialist, and is being manipulated rather effectively by his more deeply ideologically entrenched handlers and by the Wall Street gang which couldn’t care less who’s in the White House, though the weaker the better.

. . . But you have to give his supporters credit for the elementary attempt at ‘reverse psychology’. So very clever.

@Questionman:

Wow perhaps you need to read the book by bill ayers, or listen to barry’s pastor of 20 years. Better yet do some research on chavez, castro, hitler and the like. You will see no difference between them and barry. His very actions prove he is a marxist bordering on communism. If barry could be successful (and I pray to God he will not), you would be the type of person to complain first. This man hates the United States and what she stands for. His allegiance does not side with the United States but elsewhere – and that is one of the reasons all candidates for the United States Presidency must be a natural born citizen, born of two U.S. citizens because their allegiance MUST be for the United States .

Please put down that kool aid before you fall and hurt yourself.

Good post, Mata. I didn’t know about the Marxist professor who incriminated Obama.

Funny there were many people who came out stating they knew this president! It’s no surprise that the hate-filled losers pretend they don’t exist, but listens to people who people who CLAIMS he’s a marxist!
Well, I hate to generalize like that. There is something def different in the thought process of people that like and dislike Obama. I’m fairly neutral. I dont’ like many of his policies but also don’t think that anyone from the Republican field could come anywhere close to doing a better job. They are spun by the Fox News rhetoric that they seem to love so much. They are actually convinced that Obama is a Marxist or Socialist. It couldn’t be further from the truth. He is the most center-right Democrat in the Oval Office in recent history. If not ever.

Republican things Obama has done.
Spend lots of money
Extend the Patriot Act
Keep GITMO open
Continue with wars in Iraq and Afghanistan
Says God Bless America after each speech (except for Thanksgiving, oops)
Has not issued any form of amnesty for illegal immigrants like the Repub god Reagan
Has not increased taxes, in fact has lowered taxes
Bailed out the big corporations (just like Bush) and banks that Republican love so much
etc
etc
etc

@liberalmann:
Tell me about it. Or better yet, let his ACTUAL classmates tell you about it.
http://ohforgoodnesssake.com/?p=7434

Questionman:
Don’t forget
Allowed us to take guns into National Parks.
His health plan is CHOCK full of Republican ideas. Including the mandated coverage one that the GOP is up in arms about.
Killed more terrorists than BOTH Bushes did, even while taking LESS vacation time.
Has not only quoted Reagan, but is attempting some of the same policies (Wants to raise taxes on the rich during a recession. Killed terrorists.).

I think one of the reasons that wingnuts from both sides of the isle don’t like him, is the simple fact that he’s a centrist that maybe, just MAYBE, is trying to put the country first, and we aren’t helping.

The GOP (Whom I USED to vote for.) have become the party of NO NO NO; like some spoiled little brat. Even when he puts forth a idea that would have bee a OP wet dream a decade ago, they B&M about it rather than letting him have a win. Remember when he sent the SEAL team in to a Friendly country to KILL OSAMA BIN LADIN? They did everything BUT thank him for getting the job done.

The Dems… I hate to call them a party, because they seem to be at least four or five parties that never seem to get anything done, even when they are in charge.

Both parties are morally bankrupt, but at least the Dems don’t seem to be the reincarnation of the Robber Barons of old. I haven’t heard one of them calling for an end to the child labor laws. Most of them don’t try to tell people how to worship, or what a woman can do with her body.

I just PRAY that a third party is born from the SANE parts of the TEA Party and OWS movements. Because despite the media hype, both have some of the same points:

* We love our country.
* The system isn’t fair.
* It needs to be fixed
* Some of us are being taxed unfairly (They only seem to disagree on whom.)
* And the politicians aren’t doing enough to fix it, because it works for them.

The sane part of the OWS movement, now there is a concept for you.

Mata, your response to the clever guy who is lost and bewildered in the pointless forest was hilarious.

The subtle humor is the best. An evisceration followed by impotent pleadings for relevance from the victim, makes for an entertaining evening,

LOL, the moonbats are out in force on this one…

Obama is center-right…..

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!!

MATA
very good POST, there was and still is so much false allegations against the CONSERVATIVES,
beginning by SARAH PALIN receiving destructive quotes coming directly from the DEMOCRATS, and they started with their campaign demonizing the PRESIDENT BUSH, instead of OBAMA having a plan and explaining it,
we could see his agenda unfold and their MEDIA selling OBAMA a nobody
no plan no ability to govern no skills, the MEDIA, used every tools in their basket, to make him a SAVIOR OF ALL PROBLEMS,
the PEOPLE who blindly connect to it ,just like connecting to an ACTOR OF A GOOD MOVIE, and followed the frenzy of the crowd they incited till to this day, gone hysterical,
THAT’S HOW THEY CHOOSE A PRESIDENT, they surely must be feeling the shame of being AMERICAN,
and guilty to see so many not working because of having put in place a failure,
now what is revealed, and I heard it before the election too,it came from those warning from smart one about the
man who did not even made public his birth certificate,
lets hope this time AMERICANS will see the danger of more of them being rip of their secure world,
which in
one day alone can be told, sorry, no checks coming this month, where at the end of the rope,
the buck stop here, it’s already in the progress to happen,
look at the OWLS OCCUPATION, they protest at the wrong place they should be in front of the W.H,
we know why they protesting over the wrong people,
which the RICH are being demonize by OBAMA
he is a rich man too, spending the money of AMERICA till there is no more,

Point of note to Questionman….. The very first piece of legislation that Obama signed into law was to increase taxes… albeit cigarette taxes but it was in fact his first act. Everything Obama does screams Marxist, including his comments to Joe the Plummer…. “don’t you think its a good idea to SPREAD THE WEALTH AROUND”

Wake up DUMBASS

I can think of it this way;
While he was growing up he was bombarded with islaimic fanaticism in what was it, Indonesia or Malaysia? While he was in collage he was under the intense training of known Anti-American radicle Bill Ayers. Then came also the alleged Sunday sermons of an America hating bigot Jeremiah Wright, for what did he say, 20 plus years of his intense training? Add to this his talents of helping or starting the group ACORN that has in my opinion done its best to circumvent the election process by stuffing the ballet box with the same individuals with different address over and over.
Now with all this at the very least and he has instituted this sham of healthcare that most likely was illegally passed where I have to pay for people who do not deserve it because of the abuse they do of the system, adding that this alleged healthcare scenario will totally bankrupt this nation.
Now since he has been at 1600 P Avenue. How many Czars have been appointed? How many times has he done an executive order that should have went by Congress and he thumbed his nose at the Constitutional process? How about the “Just-US” department manufacturing “Operation Gun Runner” so they could falsely institute more anti 2nd Amendment legislation?
All of you may have your own opinion of what type of person he is but I have already drawn my own which is;
Things don’t look good for this nation at all.

MUNE Shadowe
the best I heard so far, which is the straight line of his upbringing,
all the way to his being voted in, by forces of DESTRUCTIVES HATERS,, AIMED at changing AMERICA
FOREVER FOR THEIR ADVANTAGE ALONE,
BYE

Remember when Obama’s campaign launched “AttackWatch” to rebut political attacks on President Obama by the media and other candidates?
The ridicule “AttackWatch” received was astonishing.
Great reading, too!
Well, the “AttackWatch” Twitter feed and web site have died.
Dead for three weeks before anyone noticed, too.

How could anyone even begin to dispute that Obi is not a full-blown commie/socialist? But I must add that he is a socialist elite, and not just your average minion of socialism. Obi knows full well that only elites like himself will be the only ones to actually benefit from a socialist society that he is implementing here in America. Sure your union bosses, party bosses, and small time local politicians will benefit as well, but the majority of people in any socialist/commie state do not. Thats why socialist states are circular in their existence. They the minions carry out the elites orders to do what is neccesary to bring about the Golden Eutopia that they all desire so much. But then reality sets in, the minions grow disenchanted with the state for not keeping their promises, and began to riot just like they did in the original overthrow of the old government. That the Golden Eutopia did not ever materailize, instead things got even worse. Yet they continue to see their party bosses, and leaders like Obi living in high cotton. And the cycle starts all over. The point, leaders if you can call Obi that are selfish, and really care about no-one but themselves. But being selfish is what socialism is all about. People choose to place all their trust in a man/woman and pay dearly for it in the end. Obis actions speak volumes about his beliefs. Never mind what he says. Read the history of socialists states, and you will find one recurring statement over and over, “We the people and the revolution were betrayed by our leaders!!” They always are, and always will be. But then again they the minions deserve it, for placing their trust and lives in the hands of a man/woman. Instead of a higher set of set of ideals, and beliefs that have always stood the test of time.

MATA,
he went too far as to now, he must be defeated, nobody in their right mind would
vote to destroy AMERICA FURTHER TO NO RETURN POSSIBLE,
IT CANNOT HAPPEN, period

I have to laugh at the comparisons of OWS and the Tea Partiers. Very few comparisons.
Where in your constitution does it say that government should transform anything? Czars? Unelected and unrestrained EPA dictating rules and regulations.? The DOJ is a farce. Immigration is out of control. In fact go through your amendments and look for the ongoing abuse. Tea Partiers want constitutional government, limited government, and sane levels of taxation.
Listen to some of Newt’s speeches. I paraphrase- 1 hour after being sworn in, I will issue an executive order banning all czars. Next is Obamacare( the ultimate job killer). Tax reductions. Spending restraints. The 3 branches are spending 5 billion daily, which is borrowed. Major clean up after the Bamster is fired. Rid yourselves of the worst precedent, ever.

It’s not beyond belief to label the current administration as “Left-Wing Radical” on the relative scale of things…it’d like to be more than that but they need that next term to really set things up to move further left.

Anticsrocks What is the point of paragraph one in #7? Are there any accusations of BHO sexual impropriety?
Why has Cain not FOUGHT to refute lady who claimed 13 year sexual relationship? Pretty cowardly to just QUIT AND DISAPPEAR.
Note Obama being blasted by far left and far right. I consider him center left a liberal Dem. between JFK and FDR.

Its irrelevant as to if Cain did the nasty with those women now, and was. Like one pundit said, “Cain could have withstood these accusations if he would have had the GOP behind him, like Clinton withstood his affairs while in office.” The GOP and many pundits did not want Cain. End of story, just like they don’t want the Newt, Bachman, etc…. Hell the Newt was proven to be skirt chaser, yet look at his poll numbers now. Thats whats got the GOP and establishment so damned concerned and scared. They keep trying to herd the sheep into the pen with Rommey, but many of the sheep are refusing to do more than just bleating for awhile and then doing as they are told. So after the Newt, then who? For many of us its anybody but Obi, Rommey, and Perry. Thats why the GOP may actually be cutting their own throats.The rules of the game have changed, and the GOP and friends refuse to adapt to the new game to their potential loss. Hell its looks like even old Ron Paul may actaully run on a third party ticket. i would not have believed that even three weeks ago, but the changes are comming fast and furious! Maybe its not change for the better, but to deny its happening is even worse. I never thought I would hear Hannity utter those words, but he did yesterday. And that boy is GOP to the bone.

Gary Noone could be more “G.O.P. establishment” than Speaker Gingrich.He’s O.K. because he’s mea culpad his many sins to the Christian Right that will NEVER support a Morman
Hannity is a far right lunatic.

@Richard Wheeler: It’s called humor, RW. Mata proposed that Obama be tried in the court of public opinion, so I took a Cain quote and substituted words to fit the premise.

I could have taken the really, truly awful things said about Cain, the Uncle Tom statements, the black man who knows his place comments, etc.. and adapted them similarly, but I chose what I viewed as among the least offensive and used that.

Ummm libtardmann, the Swift Boat veterans told the truth. So “Swiftboating” means telling the truth about a leftist. Ooops.

Don�t forget

I started to read your little tantrum whining about how people aren’t sane or smart like you are. I then realized it would be a waste of time. You are profoundly ignorant and clearly left leaning. Obama centrist? Buwahahahahaha! You also seem to be pretending you aren’t a moonbat in the hopes someone will listen to your drivel. Not buying. I’ve gotten all the leftwing BS I can stand from folks like you.

Ummm libtardmann, the Swift Boat veterans told the truth. So “Swiftboating” means telling the truth about a leftist. Ooops.

Origuy,
I started to reply your little tantrum whining about how people aren’t sane or smart like you are. I then realized it would be a waste of time. You are profoundly ignorant, dishonest, and clearly a leftist. Obama centrist? Buwahahahahaha! There is a mountain of evidence to the contrary that destroys the strawmen you barfed up. I’ve gotten all the leftwing BS I can stand from folks like you.

origuy
why do you split the blame,
who is the TOP guy who can sign an executive order in his dream.
no the blame is directly there with him,
everybody in their right mind says it.
bye

@Hard Right: Really? What ‘truths’ were that? Making a multiple Purple Heart recipient into a traitor? Gimme a break, parrot.

@origuy: Like I said; lies.

@liberalmann:

You calling anyone a parrot is massive projection and hypocrisy, but amusing. Oh, and Kerry made himself a phony and an America hater. The SBVs merely pointed it out… much to your whining.

Hey origuy, who here said that no one ever remembered him from college? Another strawman. Per your link, not one person said he WASN’T a marxist. Also per the other link on that article, it’s clear the author is desperately trying to pretend Drew is a “wingnut” who shouldn’t be believed…just because. The author fails miserably. If ori stands for origami, then it accurately represents your penchant for making origamy of the truth to fit your twisted fantasy world.

If Obama is not an ”ardent Marxist-Leninist,” why on earth is he naming a US Navy supply ship after Cesar Chavez?
We learn this in an editorial titled
EDITORIAL: The USS Karl Marx
Leftists run wild politicizing Navy ship names

He’s what Wikipedia said Chavez felt about serving two full years in the US Navy:
Chávez described his experience in the military as “the two worst years of my life.”[Tejada-Flores, Rick. “The Fight in the Fields – Cesar Chávez and the Farmworkers Struggle”. Public Broadcasting Service. Retrieved December 7, 2010.]

@Richard Wheeler: Richard, i agree with you completely. Thats why i am unsure if I would vote for him. Is he sincere, or is he just doing what professional politicians do all the time. which is to have a conversion to whatever seems to be popular at the time. And then off his mask after the election is over.

It would be nice to see Newt eating O’Bummer for lunch in Presidential debates…. Newt’s not perfect… but hell, neither am I so he’s okay in my book! However, I’ll reserve my right to vote for anyone but O’Bummer.

@Questionman: Barry is a Marxist/Socialist. He is one that thinks that only HE can make things better for the great unwashed masses as HE and his live in the very lap of luxury. You see it in every, and I do mean every, non-free society to a much greater degree than in a ‘free’ society. I’m not sure that our Dear Leader can even spell Capitalism or even say it without his head exploding….which might be fun to watch.

Marxist-Leninists deny the inherent failings of human nature, believing (or, at least averring) that imperfect, flawed humans can create perfect governmental solutions to mankind’s problems.
Capitalists recognize that all human systems are as flawed as the humans who created them.
They also recognize the inherent inequality in abilities and drive within the human population.
As a result their systems, now that they are not unregulated, make for the best possible quality of life for the most possible individuals.

Take a look at the quality of life of your average African nation.
The CIA World Fact Book has graphs for everything.
That one takes the GDP and averages it out by population to show relative purchasing power in each country.
The USA is ranked 11th.
Even pathetic North Korea ranks above the kleptocrcies of Africa.

The % of population in poverty is so subjective that the Fact Book does not use a ranking, but simply puts each country’s own % in alphabetical order.
But even with the ruining of the USA Obama and the recession has wrought we only count 15% as in poverty.
Look at the other countries!
Even the oil-rich UAE has a higher % of population in poverty!
Communist China lowers the definition of ”Poverty” so low that only 47 million of their 1 billion fall below it. ($125/year or less)

Obama has begun his campaign for re-election.
His new slogan is ”fairness.”
He talks like he can do away with the poor.
Jesus said ”the poor will ALWAYS be with you.”

Sliding economic scales, like ours in the USA, are based on percentages.
As such we will ALWAYS have a % on the low end of the scale….no matter how far above those people are compared with other poor in other nations.
I am looking at the brains fall out of the occupiers every time they speak and guessing Obama can fool whole swaths of the American electorate.
It is going to be close.

My thanks to MataHarley for bringing additional public attention to this issue. I remain shocked that everyone who knew Herman Cain is on TV peddling their story, but apparently the mainstream media doesn’t want to air the truth about young Obama’s radical, extremist ideology. Here’s a more recent article I did for American Thinker regarding my efforts to air this story in 2008. See, http://www.americanthinker.com/2011/09/even_republicans_rejected_info_about_obamas_past.html

@liberalmann: Oh yes, the Purple Heart deal that 3 PHs and you are out of theater. They have a name for Purplen Hearts in Afghanistan where there are only minor injuries. They call them “Kerry Hearts!”

yes VERY TROUBLING INDEED,
and SARAH PALIN was right when she approached the subject on the stage,
I suppose her also did not have the evidence but only your words against a propaganda never before seen in AMERICA to sell this man, and I read it here at FA BEFORE, quite a few times
and the destruction of this COUNTRY,now mentally broken down with so wide ridges that it will take mountains to fill those ridges, how could that have been done ?
so dangerous last years of having this situation in AMERICA.
now what, who will get this to the voters, which CANDIDATES WILL SHOUT IT LOUD AND CLEAR SO THERE WILL BE NO DOUBT? what took you so long to make noise on it,
beside the exemplary work you tried , there must have been more to do and what, or did you start too late?
that would have get you killed in the war, for being late on shooting the enemy,
these years lost for AMERICANS, these people which where invading AMERICA OPEN BORDER, these MARXISTS INVADING THE WHITE HOUSE, now all the work of demolition to be done,
because of it, our MILITARY GOT KILLED BECAUSE OF BAD ROES.
the worst thing to happen to AMERICA.
thank you for your effort to bring it out, IT TOOK MATA to take it as credible, and if she believe it, it’s good enough for me too

@Questionman: @#11- My dog could do better than this Rezident we have occupying the WH- he’ll probably leave a mess, just like the “Occupy” crowd.
The next time Barry has a thought, he should be reluctant to fart it out- he might end up having his brains in his underwear.
I mean, truly? You actually think any of the Republican field would do WORSE than the Great Poseur? Listen, I have seen him make decisions that I knew would make the US situation worse, and yet, he did this. Intentionally. Purposefully.Fundamentally Transforming America.Those are his words, and he meant to do this, which is why we MUST deny him another term, or we will not have an America left. That much is obvious to all, even socialists. Especially Socialists.

Like most young liberals in college with an interest in social change, I’m sure Obama, like many such student become enamored with Marxism, and with Lenin as the knight on the white horse of Communism–out to save the world. Later, they learn differently, and change their views.

Right-wingers are fond of trotting out stories told by witnesses–most notably that FBI agent who supposedly witnessed certain comments by Ayers and other Weather People–who attest to their alleged past views as though they were the same as present.

I certainly believe that Obama probably doesn’t believe in the idealized model of Capitalism of the right-wing, which probably never existed, except possibly during the Industrial Revolution of Dickens’ infamy. I’m sure he believes in social safety nets incorporated into his view of capitalism–which some purist idealists which call ‘socialism’.

@Liberal1 (objectivity): I was an impressionable college kid. I heard the stories, but I was raised on a farm where we work for a living. I listened to the SDS people and couldn’t believe they were so ignorant. Couldn’t they see how hard life was in the “utopian” societies? I still know many of those indoctrinated jerks. They may have mellower their views, but they are still ignorant of real life. Sounds like you drank the Koolaid, too.

MATA,
SUPER TIMING, this will fly like a bird,
in so many houses of AMERICA.
THANK YOU
