.............From early childhood, Obama was raised in an intensely anti-American environment. His anthropologist mother hated her country with a passion -- so much so that when her second husband, Indonesian Lolo Soetoro, lost some of his anti-American zeal, she sent her son to Hawaii to save him from his stepfather's pernicious influence and instructed her father to enlist his friend, Frank Marshall Davis, in the cause of mentoring young Barack. Davis,a card-carrying communist of a rabid Stalinist variety but also a black nationalist,did his job remarkably well, infusing his ward with a Marxist-cum-black separatist worldview.
In college, Obama blended eagerly into the far-left scene, as he freely attests in his autobiography, Dreams from My Father (page 101, emphasis added): "To avoid being mistaken for a sell-out, I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structured feminists and punk-rock performance poets[.]... We were alienated." It is a nearly complete catechism of a callow revolutionary.
In doing research for his recently released book The Communist: Frank Marshall Davis: The Untold Story of Barack Obama's Mentor, Paul Kengor interviewed John Drew, a former friend of Obama during the Occidental years. John Drew stated unequivocally that Obama was a fervent Marxist-Leninist who looked toward a "proletarian revolution" in the United States.
At Columbia and Harvard, Obama was further marinated in the fashionable radical ideological stew -- not exactly communism in the traditional sense, but rather radical leftism or neo-communism centered on a rabid hatred for "imperialism" -- i.e., the West and above all America -- and seeking to make common cause with its "victims."
The adepts of the neo-communist ideology view the world as divided into the rich and the poor. The poor are pure and noble by virtue of being poor.......

Dinesh D’Souza makes the case for Obama being an anti-colonialist very convincingly in his book “Obama’s America.” He dismisses charges that Obama is a Socialist/Marxist, although many of his actions and desires lean that way. He dismisses Obama being a Muslim, although many of his actions clearly are directed for the benefit of Muslims, etc, etc.
What Obama is, is an anti-colonialist who wants to see America cut down to size. Powerful argument for a kind of a unifying theory of Obama.

Obama is a Communist first.
His “anti-colonialism” stems from that.
I don’t think Obama is anything new here...He’s just a throwback who was born at least ten years too late to have been part of the radical ‘60’s far-left.
We should think of Barack Obama as a very ugly stew of very toxic ideologies which lay claim to him from time to time and from issue to issue.
I believe the main point is that defining Obama as a Marxist anti-colonialist 'splains Obama and makes coherent an understanding of an otherwise incomprehensible administration which is not animated by any free-market or patriotic philosophy. It is a very great pity that the Rinos who control both Romney's campaign and the party apparatus up until the time Romney became the putative nominee, simply would not tolerate such an explanation of why Obama does the things he does. There is only one exception that I know of to this wall of studied ignorance erected by the Republican Party and that is Newt Gingrich.
Newt had the guts to step out and say that Obama was a neo-colonialist and he accepted the thesis of the movie, Obama 2016. Gingrich was pilloried, as expected, in the liberal press but he was also left unsupported by the Republican establishment.
Someone might offer up the explanation that the entire Republican apparatus became gun shy as a result of the reaction to the birthers. I have always said that the birther should be represented as a group who are patriotic and who deserve a fair hearing. The Republican Party should have taken the position that the birthers are not the ones who are behaving bizarrely but the candidate who spends nearly $3 million to keep his birth certificate secret. Today, they should be saying that there is now credible evidence that the birth significant is counterfeit. But all that aside, when we permit the Democrats, echoed by the media, to set the limits of debate, indeed to define that which is legitimately debatable, we have already lost the debate.
This failure to define Obama not as a nice guy who is incompetent but as an American hating, free-market hating, radical redistributionist explains why Romney is in such trouble in this race. The latter explanation makes sense for the electorate of everything that has transpired in the last four years. It could almost serve as an epiphany. Arguing incompetency, arguing Obama has an empty head but a white heart, leaves Romney open for countercharges and, as Charles Krauthammer says, confines Romney to playing small ball.
When you play small ball against Obama you are fighting money and you are fighting the media not just for the agreement of the electorate but for the the attention of the great mushy middle of American voters. Instead of arguing about whether Obama is trying to sell out America to Putin and adducing as evidence Obama's open mic gaffe, Romney is defending himself against charges that is a tax cheat, that he is rich, and that is business was unfair to employees after he left.
The opportunity to break through was probably lost and we conservatives ought to consider in future elections, if there are any, whether there will ever be a mindset in the Republican establishment which tolerates a full throated attack in support of conservative values?
From where I’m sitting, the radical sixties bunch are running the country.

"Obama is a Communist first. His “anti-colonialism” stems from that.
Exactly. I knew that film maker didn't know what he was talking about. I had heard him in several interviews.
"Change will not come if we wait for some other person or if we wait for some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek"-- BARACK OBAMA

After the election....
A Landslide Mandate For Change
A breakthrough election
Congratulations on an extraordinary history making election!
We can think back with pride to decades of hard work toward our strategic goal of a big enough, broad enough and united enough labor and all-people’s movement that could overcome the ultra-right blockage to all progress. That all people’s movement has come to life, it is dynamic and it has the potential to keep growing.
The election of Barack Obama and a strengthened Congress creates new conditions in our country. There is now the possibility to shift gears and move forward. This new day requires us to further develop our tactics in order to continue to deepen and broaden labor and people’s unity.
There are thousands of experiences that we all have had in these momentous days, some large, some small, all of which express the enormity of change in thinking and readiness for involvement that is underway and that steels us for the battles ahead.
The tears of joy we all shared as crowds gathered to watch the election results here and throughout the world dramatize the new moment we are in.

He's a commie himself, no doubt. But he's not smart or experienced enough to do what he's doing without big help from his 60s-radical handlers and advisers.
“Colonialism is the establishment, exploitation, maintenance, acquisition and expansion of colonies in one territory by people from another territory. It is a process whereby the metropole claims sovereignty over the colony, and the social structure, government, and economics of the colony are changed by colonizers from the metropole. Colonialism is a set of unequal relationships between the metropole and the colony and between the colonists and the indigenous population.[1]” Wikipedia
Obama hates colonialism? Isn’t colonialism exactly what his muslim buddies are doing?
You got that right. He’s been groomed.
A narcissist who’s continually marinated and basted in his own importance, is easily motivated and manipulated.
IMHO, he’s more antichristian than neo-communist or anticolonialist, but will play both cards to promote his worldly system.
Dr. John C. Drew, a grant writing consultant in Laguna Niguel, Calif., tells Newsmax he met Obama in 1980 when Obama was a sophomore at Occidental College in Los Angeles. Drew had just graduated from Occidental and was attending graduate school at Cornell University.
During Christmas break, Drew says he was at Grauman-Boss’ home in Palo Alto when Obama came over with Mohammed Hasan Chandoo, his roommate from Pakistan.
“Barack [Obama] and Hasan showed up at the house in a BMW, and then we went to a restaurant together,” Drew says. “We had a nice meal, and then we came back to the house and smoked cigarettes and drank and argued politics.”
For the next several hours, they discussed Marxism.
“He [Obama] was arguing a straightforward Marxist-Leninist class-struggle point of view, which anticipated that there would be a revolution of the working class, led by revolutionaries, who would overthrow the capitalist system and institute a new socialist government that would redistribute the wealth,” says Drew, who says he himself was then a Marxist.
“The idea was basically that wealthy people were exploiting others,” Drew says. “That this was the secret of their wealth, that they weren’t paying others enough for their work, and they were using and taking advantage of other people. He was convinced that a revolution would take place, and it would be a good thing.”
Drew concluded that Obama thought of himself as “part of an intelligent, radical vanguard that was leading the way towards this revolution and towards this new society.” ..."
Referring to Obama’s quote from “Dreams of My Father” that he associated with Marxist professors, Drew says, “What he’s not saying is that he was in 100 percent total agreement with those Marxist professors. When you understand that, Obama’s later associations and policies make more sense, including why he was taken in by Rev. Wright’s ideology.”

FoxNews/Hannity's America
[special Friday night edition--original airdate May 2, 2008]
(some key excerpts)
["(Jose) Diaz-Balart is the son of Rafael Diaz-Balart y Guitierrez (a former Cuban politician). He has three bothers, Rafael Diaz-Balart (a banker), Mario Diaz-Balart (a US Congressman) and Lincoln Diaz-Balart (also a US Congressman). His aunt, Mirta Diaz-Balart, was Fidel Castro's first wife."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jose_Diaz-Balart]
JOSE DIAZ-BALART, TELEMUNDO NETWORK: "Liberation theology in Nicaragua in the mid-1980's was a pro-Sandinista, pro-Marxist, anti-U.S., anti-Catholic Church movement. That's it. No ifs, ands, or buts. His church apparently supported, in the mid-'80s in Nicaragua, groups that supported the Sandinista dictatorships and that were opposed to the Contras whose reason for being was calling for elections. That's all I know. I was there.
I saw the churches in Nicaragua that he spoke of, and the churches were churches that talked about the need for violent revolution and I remember clearly one of the major churches in Managua where the Jesus Christ on the altar was not Jesus Christ, he was a Sandinista soldier, and the priests talked about the corruption of the West, talked about the need for revolution everywhere, and talked about 'the evil empire' which was the United States of America."
REV. BOB SCHENCK, NATIONAL CLERGY COUNCIL: "it's based in Marxism. At the core of his [Wright's] theology is really an anti-Christian understanding of God, and as part of a long history of individuals who actually advocate using violence in overthrowing those they perceive to be oppressing them, even acts of murder have been defended by followers of liberation theology. That's very, very dangerous."
SCHENCK: "I was actually the only person escorted to Dr. Wright. He asked to see me, and I simply welcomed him to Washington, and then I said Dr. Wright, I want to bring you a warning: your embrace of Marxist liberation theology. It is contrary to the Gospel, and you need, sir, to abandon it. And at that he dropped the handshake and made it clear that he was not in the mood to dialogue on that point."

Obama's Church: Gospel of Hate
Kathy Shaidle, FrontPageMag.com
Monday, April 07, 2008
In March of 2007, FOX News host Sean Hannity had engaged Obama’s pastor in a heated interview about his Church’s teachings. For many viewers, the ensuing shouting match was their first exposure to "Black Liberation Theology"...
Like the pro-communist Liberation Theology that swept Central America in the 1980s and was repeatedly condemned by Pope John Paul II, Black Liberation Theology combines warmed-over 1960s vintage Marxism with carefully distorted biblical passages. However, in contrast to traditional Marxism, it emphasizes race rather than class. The Christian notion of "salvation" in the afterlife is superseded by "liberation" on earth, courtesy of the establishment of a socialist utopia.

Catholics for Marx [Liberation Theology]
By Fr. Robert Sirico
FrontPageMagazine.com | Thursday, June 03, 2004
In the days when the Superpowers were locked in a Cold War, Latin America seethed with revolution, and millions lived behind an iron curtain, a group of theologians concocted a novel idea within the history of Christianity. They proposed to combine the teachings of Jesus with the teachings of Marx as a way of justifying violent revolution to overthrow the economics of capitalism.
The Gospels were re-rendered not as doctrine impacting on the human soul but rather as windows into the historical dialectic of class struggle. These "liberation theologians" saw every biblical criticism of the rich as a mandate to expropriate the expropriating owners of capital, and every expression of compassion for the poor as a call for an uprising by the proletarian class of peasants and workers.

Lol. That, too. Then again, so are most of these elitist, "intellectual" commie scumbags.
Hugo Chavez pledges to deepen socialist policies if re-elected in Venezuela vote
Excellent point. The commie left and the islmo-nazis have a temporary "unholy alliance", as both want America wiped off the map.
