Obamarxism


Since the Wright controversy broke, I've been saying there is an underlying narrative that Obama is a socialist at best, a marxist at worst.

How can I come to that conclusion when he's never actually stated any overall government vision except hope and change?

Let's look at the dots

1) The Che Guevara flags in the Houston campaign office. Obamamania supporters will contend that these were volunteers but what volunteer would think that was appropriate under any circumstance unless they felt the man they supported would think it's OK

2) The photos of Obama without his hand over heart during a National Anthem. When the photos first broke, I never really gave it much attention but now I'm wondering.

3) His lame reasoning for not wearing a US flag pin on his lapel; calling it a faux patriotism. Somehow, he had no problem displaying that same faux patriotism with the 400 hundred flags behind him when he did his "race speech" this week. Again, not a big deal until some of these other events have taken place.

4) MiCHElle Obama's statement that for only the first time she was actually "proud of America". What kind of person would actually say that? Especially one who was able to achieve her level of success.

5) His vocal endorsements from Hugo Chavez, Venezuelan President. Daniel Ortega, Nicaraguan President and Raul Castro, Cuban dictator.

6) The Wright controversy. The more that continues to poor out on this church, the more of an Anti American, Marxist vision you see. Here's a great article spelling out the teachings of this church (HT Bizzyblog).

Excerpt
Wright, who hasn't been giving interviews since the controversy broke, told conservative TV talk-show host Sean Hannity last year that Trinity's black value system also had parallels to the liberation theology of laypeople in Nicaragua three decades ago. There, liberation theology became associated with Marxist revolution and the Sandinistas, and split the Roman Catholic Church.

Again, would he be a member of this church if he didn't find this drivel to be consistent with own beliefs, the beliefs his children will learn as a result of their presence in this church.

In 2004, John Kerry ran for president as a war hero in Vietnam. The Swift Boat Veterans for Truth emasculated Kerry on his heroism. Many democrats still believe that Kerry's response was too slow and too weak to the charges. But how could he really refute the charges when there was all this video of him calling out US troops as war criminals? Kerry had all these dots of behavior (anyone ever watch Dick Cavett in the democratic party?) laying all over the place and the democrats never actually connected them. SBVT did it for them.

The same is going to be true of Obama. The media and liberal blogs never vetted this guy. They were so preoccupied with cleaning up the pee in their pants from the presence of someone so charismatic and articulate, it never occurred to any of them they might want to take a better look at this guy. Now he's going to be "swift boated" because they never did their job.

This democratic primary season provides the perfect metaphor for how democrats actually govern. They use feelings in their decision making process instead of actual thought. They get all excited about a new government program. So excited, they never actually connect the dots so they can foresee the unintended consequences of their actions. Then BAM! they sit back and say, "wow, we never saw that coming".

Here's more.......
