Here is Obama, teaching one in one of his three summer classes at the University of Chicago. He was a "senior lecturer" for six summers (1996 -2004) , teaching three classes during those summers, hardly a "law professor" as he claims. On the board, Obama is teaching his class about the power base of the evil corporate world, a precursor to the teachings found in the book, Rules for Radicals. Obama is working his skinny little butt off trying to shore up his base. With all of his rhetorical strategies, a convoluted soup of promises and lies, we can forget who his base really is. Let's identify them using the words of the fat Michael Moore: "You are one of us." The man [Obama] is no more a "moderate" Democrat than he is a passionate Christian or the past Editor of the Harvard Law Review. Know this, you cannot teach the principles of
Rules for Radicals and not be a radical politician and we have at least one picture of him teaching the
principles of Saul Alinsky. The fact that he is a proud "community organizer" is proof enough of his radicalism but we have that dang picture and two years of political deceit to prove our point.
So, he is a radical Leftist, a man who believes in a One World economy and an international system of justice; a man who believes that wealth belongs to the unionized workforce; a man who believes that the unprincipled poor of this country deserve and are owed an income that puts them on equal material standing with the "haves" of our society. Marx and Engles (communist innovators) called this "dialectic materialism," this taking from the "haves" and giving it to the "have nots." Obama believes in all this crap.
As a result, he will be busy - for the next 18 months - inflaming passions, pushing back against the patriots of this great nation and their Constitution, and trying to recreate the damaged connection between himself and his Marxist base.
I call them "Marxist" because I, as representative Baby Boomer Man - went to college with these punks. They were proud Marxist then. Nothing has changed, as I see it . Understand that the Radical Left can be as politically harsh as us TEA Party folk and it was the radical Left that put him into office in 2008. He knows this and so do they.
Of course he needs the non-partisan voting population, often called "Independents." But he cannot abandon the far far Left and gain in the final vote count by doing so. How he manifests his radicalism while pretending to be a political moderate will spell the end of his political career or push him over the top in the 2012 election.
He is not "moving to the center" to attract votes and win an election. Not at all. His efforts as to Queer Nation and the 2% these gay blades represent in the military is an example of of the "new Obama," you know, the man who is moving to the middle. He has ordered "gay sensitivity training" for the military, at all levels, whether at home or in combat. Such "training" is going on as I write this post. Understand that his rules of engagement have put our troops in danger and have prevented them from winning the war in Afghanistan. Our military cannot search out the enemy and attack the enemy unless and until that enemy force shots first. In some cases, we have to administer Miranda rights. In most cases, we have to release the enemy combatant (also known as Murdering Muslim Jihadists) within 96 hours of their capture. One account I recently read had that soldier telling the reporter that since being in Afghanistan, all of the captures he knew of, had been released under this policy. And now, Queer Nation gets to benefit from battlefield instruction to the normal people in our army.
In another venue, Obama's summons of Paul Ryan to his budget speech for the singular purpose of insulting Ryan to his face, is indicative of the kind of politic we can expect from Obama. That was not a budget speech. It was the first shot of his 2012 presidential campaign, a declaration of war on the Right and conservative minded Independents. It was a 9 page "budget," 7 pages of which were the words of his speech. By contrast, Ryan's budget proposal was 89 pages long. You tell me which is the proposal and which is the speech.
In that speech, Obama introduced the proposition of a controlling 15 man council that would take charge over deficit matters, apart from the work of the legislative branch. You may not understand that he has spent most of his first two years either kissing up to the 111th congress or circumventing that legislative institution altogether, depending on what it is he is trying to do. He has done more to add to the irrelevancy of the Congress of the United States than any president in our history. The plan to circumvent congress with that 15 man council, as laid out in his second and most recent "budget" speech, is borne of his contempt for congress.
His "signing statement" of yesterday is another. Understand that the two sides, the GOP and Obama, forged an 11th hour agreement finalizing the working structure of the 2011 fiscal year. As he signed that agreement into law, this past week, he, also, committed to a "signing statement" in which he specified the parts of that "agreement" he does not intend to enforce or follow. Presidents have issued signing statements for decades. He is no different in that fact. But, when combined with his disdain for congressional processes, this signing statement was especially rude. You can read of the facts of this signing statement in an ABC news release recorded
here. Understand that his signing statement is a declaration that Obama will not abide by the agreement he helped pass into law. Clearly, it is time for the death of the "signing statement." Why anyone thought that this would never be misused is beyond me.
Understand that Obama has taken the fringe agreements of our system and have used them to his political and ideological advantage.
The signing statement is being used to, by Obama, to rewrite legislation without the input and approval of congress.
He uses to the regulatory powers of the EPA, the FCC, the SEC to enforce net neutrality, elements of cap and trade, and "legislate" against those on Wall Street that do met with his approval.
He has/had more than 50 "czars" (Bush 43 had 16 - a record until Obama) as he works his
personal agenda for this country. Know this: a "czar" has an office, staff, in most cases transportation and a budget and is considered "presidential staff." As presidential staff, none of these people can be subpoenaed or forced to talk about what they are doing. They have "executive privilege" and are only responsible to our Marxist Omama (correct spelling, btw).
Finally, he as a thing called "executive order." He can use that to open the borders, pardon 11 million illegal aliens, confiscate properties for the State, order bankruptcies (ala GM), raped stockholders and on and on.
All of the above and more, has to do with the methodology of his ideology. He talks a good game. You agree. You join his freaking union and all is well. If not, he treats you as if you deserve to ride in the back of the bus, and, off to the dictator's party we all go.
After two years of this Marxist nonsense, we have learned that Congress, over the years, has given the presidency of the United States the powers he or she needs to function as if a dictator. The 113th congress (after the 2012 elections) has no greater responsibility than to defrock the presidency of its dictatorial powers. You can bet that no Establishment Republican or Democrat will participate in this "house clean." That is why the next election needs to be about the Big Government Establishment of both parties. What is most important in terms of this particular election is this: Obama believes that now is the time to transform the United States of America. He believes he has enough of the populace behind him, supporting him, that he can actually pull off this Marxist/Socialist/One World takeover. That is what this election is all about. He has passed enough of his legislative agenda, combined with his misuse of the regulatory powers of the presidency, to complete the task, even if he loses the Senate. He, himself, must be defeated and ridden out of town.
