I had not heard about this John Drew.

Paul Kengor was at the Heritage Foundation on C-Span, "Dupes: How America's Adversaries Have Manipulated Progressives for a Century."

I saw it on TV. It was very good!

The article is clearly nonsense; Obama never misses a chance to hit the links.

Appears this Dr. Drew saw the light Obama is incapable of seeing.

It mystifies me to this day how Obama got an almost complete pass from the media and over half the electorate.

And yet, to my knowledge, only a handful of people have interviewed John Drew or bothered with his story, including even the biggies in conservative talk radio.

Conservative talk radio and Fox ignores a lot of stuff. Obama's natural born citizenship and homosexual outrages are two more topics they avoid.

Personally, I will never fully trust the so-called conservative media again. They are entertainers, posers, and users.

They’re all about the “revolution” but can’t see far enough past the moment to what will become of the people.

There are several threads on FR regarding John Drew and his statements. What I always thought was odd is that surely many people knew him yet when he went public with this, not a single person came forward to call him a liar. Why? My guess.....Because he wasn’t lying and they figured it would be better to let the media ignore it and hope that not many people saw it.
Hannity or Beck have not interviewed him yet.... YET. Hopefully they will do so closer to 2012.

This retelling of dynamic of the arc of Drew's life and that of Obama's, and the great appeal of Marxism to college kids, as reported here and elsewhere and seen with my own eyes worldwide have inspired a birth of a ponder in my mind. There is something very disconcerting to those coming of age (adulthood) in our modern era, worldwide, that is stroked and comforted by Marxism. Obama seems to be close to or at the pinnacle (within mankind) of that discomfort because of his life, and with the opportunities presented him -- via his Mom, via his Grand-dad Dunham, via Frank Davis and all the Marxists he met thereafter -- he thus has become like what in far-eastern cultures is called a God of a thing, an avatar, similar to what Carl Jung calls an archtype. A unique character that aggregates all the forces related to some intrinsic of human being.

What I am interesting in, this ponder, is what is that dense set, compact manifold, of psychic, sociological and psychological forces underlying this coming of age dynamic are? Cultural estrangement, a broken family (and broken village), reactionary psychological detachment, and a deconstructionist spite are all part of it, clearly, but I can not easily make out the rest of it.

I do not think it is the "goth" transition -- that of the end or "killing" of childhood innocence as represented in various idioms in the goth culture, it's something deeper. One that can sustain longer in life, one that explains why so many of the idiot sophomore Marxists in dorms remain locked into that deluded ideology til late in life.

If you have 78 minutes to spare watch Paul Kengor at the Heritage Foundation on C-Span, "Dupes: How America's Adversaries Have Manipulated Progressives for a Century." It's linked in comment# 1. It was very good!

Obama’s not actually very bright. He never matured beyond very childish Marxism that has failed every single time it’s been tried, and is against human nature, and of course is also evil to the individual. He’s kind of an idiot.

Kengor: I know people are listening right now who want me to address this -- and especially people who are Obama supporters. To be fair, I mean, look at where you were then and now where you are today. Drew: Well, yeah, now I'm a Ronald Reagan, churchgoing, Baptist conservative ... Kengor: But now, okay, so what about Obama? Where do you think he is today?

Now he's reading Reagan and going to church we'll see what kind of conversion that makes.

Great thread, and thank you for the links.

It should be clear to all that America is facing several distinct threats, each approaching at an accelerating rate of speed.

Some may regard as a threat the implications to our nation of the pending collapse of Mexico. Other may believe the growth of China’s military capabilities and its economic grip on the U.S., while at the same time our military and economy is being weakened, presents a threat. They would all be correct.

But IMO, the two immediate threats are the possible success of the present attack on our political institutions and the economy by socialist/communists/anti-Americans who already hold substantial ground within those institutions, and the growing presence of Islam.

We may have a political defense against the first of those two threats. But at the moment, it seems unlikely we will construct a defense against the Islamic threat before they gain a majority in local and national elections. Unlikely because it appears we will continue to view Islam as a religion instead of a political organization that denies the essence of our Constitution.
