I've been wrong about Obama....

It is time for me to do something that I’m sure many will find surprising. I’ve been wrong about Obama. Please forgive me.

I have to admit it. After a lot of soul searching and internal debate, I have come to the conclusion that I have been incorrect and inappropriate when assigning motives to his actions and now I see the logic. I really have been way off base. I was wrong to assign motives to his policies based on my own narrow and ignorant views and experiences.

Am I turning into a liberal? Not a chance.

He cannnot be stopped because there isn’t one Repubican in either the House or Senate willing to confront him and expose his Marxism. They should be holding daily news conferences hammering home to the public the danger this man poses to our country. Instead they are hiding in the tall grass afraid of their own shadow.

That is wrong. Just because you don’t happen to get news reports of something doesn’t mean it is not going on. Allen West for one has been using the M word a lot in the last week. Cain too. Bachmann says more or less the same things. And probably some others I am not aware of.

Now, would I like to see more? Yes. Would it help if Trump were a little more concerned with the Marxism we have imposed on ourselves and less obsessed with China and OPEC who are simply taking advantage of it? Yes.

But to say no one is saying it, or that he can’t be stopped, is simply false.

Well...on the positive side...at least you know it now.

Shirer speaks of the time when Hitler was named chancellor by Hindenburg-- how the government cabinet was composed of eight conservatives to three nazis, with conservative Papen as vice chancellor, the revered and conservative aristocrat Hindenburg as president, and the false sense of security this all offered.

He goes on to observe "the inexplicable weakness, that now bordered on paralysis, of existing institutions--the army, the churches, the trade unions, the political parties--or of the vast non-Nazi middle class and the highly organized proletariat all of which, as Papen mournfully observed much later, would "give up without a fight."(Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, p185.)

It is that troubling and "inexplicable" weakness of existing institutions which enabled obama to usurp the executive branch. The first reaction, the Tea Party, has helped but, will it have the staying power to motivate us back from the edge of the abyss...

Thanks for this post. Good read.

Utahprez wrote, at end of the essay, the following:

I was wrong. This isn’t about the evil oil industry at all; it is about punishing capitalist America and putting us on a path to a redistributionist and Marxist future.

yes. I agree. And am glad this author brought in details, at length, regarding the oil deals uhbama has made in South America.

Actually, they aren’t Marxists. I wrote a whole book on Yucca Mountain which traces their roots. Some of it is Marxist, but they are now “decentralst anarchists” nd “Rwlsians”, they changed their base point.

It’s a subtle but important difference, because it is a stronger base for their “least advantaged man” viewpoint that governs enviroleftism. They will never see themselves as Marxists.

You have a keen sense of the obvious.

Really? You did not know this? Do you read some of the posts on here? Not the articles but the posts? We have some excellent minds here on FR and this has been pointed out for years.

Let me nudge you into your next epiphany. We are in the midst of a global communist revolution, the likes of which Lenin only dreamt of but knew the United States prevented at that time. Well, we are there. The outcome is uncertain.

Why anyone is surprised that Obama is a Marxist is beyond me. In his own writings, Obama said he is a Marxist. Why most on the Right ignored that prior to the ‘08 election, I’ll never understand.

I really don't think he's a Marxist; I think he's a corrupt politician in a corrupt political culture who's looking, as are the vast majority of his fellows, to expand government so as to have more 'services' to sell under the table.

Of course, that's pretty much how Marxism played out in the real world, but it's not quite the same thing.

re: I really don't think he's a Marxist

Frankly I'm not just what he is, but whatever it is I DO KNOW it's not good for America. More and more citizens, and voters, are coming to that realization, but I fear it won't be enough to keep him from mounting a very strong electoral showing next year.

With over half the population getting government goodies now it's a bit Pollyanna-ish to think we can simply un-elect him. He is a clear and present danger to America as those of us in our senior years has known it. And those who are just now starting down the path of adulthood have been so poorly served by public education that they really have no idea how far we are from the America that led the world in every way.

Ronald Reagan was right-on when he stressed the necessity and importance of teaching patriotism to every generation, that it's not passed along in the genes like hair and eye color.

The outcome is uncertain.

Not if things continue to go as they are. Mark Levine finally called the administration a fifth column Friday. The armed forces will have to set this right IMHO. The country seems too heavily infiltrated by the communists to correct the situation themselves.

E-mail me when he's stopped and say "I told you so". I'm not saying he can't be stopped, I'm saying he won't be stopped. I applaude Alan West for all he is doing but it will take many more than Alan West to bring this guy down.
