Barack Obama: Radical liberal
WND ^ | November 22, 2006 | Benjamin Shapiro

Posted on 11/22/2006 6:30:56 AM PST by IrishMike

Sen. Barack Obama's platform is his politics of "understanding." Obama has been careful not to define the issues upon which he runs; rather, he explains that it is time to "move forward," to discard "ideology," to reach a new "common ground" built on an "understanding" of broad-based values. Of course, this is pure Grade A pap, since Obama fails to define those values, except in broad generalities. Yes, he's for the flag (but not against burning it – he voted against the flag-protection amendment), motherhood (as long as taxpayers foot the bill for day care and abortion on demand remains legal) and apple pie (he has not had to vote on apple pie). But where does he stand? Obama is a liberal, and a rather radical liberal at that. According to Obama's new best seller, "The Audacity of Hope," Obama hates Ronald Reagan: He was "disturbed … by Ronald Reagan's election in 1980 … unconvinced … by his John Wayne, 'Father Knows Best' pose, his policy by anecdote and his gratuitous assaults on the poor." (31)

He loves Jimmy Carter: "a Democrat who – with his emphasis on human rights – seemed prepared to once again align moral concerns with a strong defense." (288)

Despite his protestations to the contrary, he dislikes President Bush: "The president's eyes became fixed; his voice took on the agitated, rapid tone of someone neither accustomed to nor welcoming interruption; his easy affability was replaced by an almost messianic certainty." (45) He repeats "war for oil" slander: "Is cheap oil worth the costs – in blood and treasure – of war?" (310)

He slimes Rush Limbaugh: "If Rush Limbaugh's listeners enjoy hearing him call me 'Osama Obama,' my attitude is, let them have their fun."

Barack Obama is an icon to me. An icon of what is wrong with the left. Mr. Obama's body of work is thin. But Mr. Obama is a star of the left, why? Well, obviously he's a liberal, that is a given to be a star of the left. But, why Mr. Obama?
Could it be that his name is decidedly non-European? Could it be that he is decidedly non-Caucassian in appearance?
The answer is yes, and yes. The only thing that Mr. Obama could do to be more attractive to the left is to undergo a sex change. At that point the leftist pinheads would fall to their knees and worship him, (her?), as a deity.

Not a problem, the left will love that.

It was your buddy, Ted Kennedy, who first called you "Osama Obama", nitwit! Rush is just repeating the august words from the orca's mouth.

This just reinforced what I already thought about Osama Obama...

BUT, the MSM will never, ever tell this stuff...they are ready to crown him king to Hillbilly's queen.

The other day, Rush quoted someone who said, "Obama was the greatest political figure to have come out of Illinois since Abe Lincoln." I'd be curious to know who said this.

I doubt few people in Illinois' know Barack Obama's real views - or if theu do, care that's he's anywhere BUT in the American mainstream. He's a radical leftist. Then again that's what happens when people pick image over substance in a politician.

I thought his middle name was Mohammad.

His father and grandfather were Islamic, a religion that teaches you must raise your children in that religion.

And once you are a member of that religion isn't it illegal to become a Christian?

Ergo, Obama must be ... Islamic?

I guess this nitwit never heard of Henry Hyde, Denny Hastert, the Daleys, or JFK, who would never have been POTUS if not for the Daleys and the Chicago RAT machine.

Nopw, his middle name is Hussein. How are you doing these days? I expect flooding today in the lower areas of the Tar and Neuse basins. My creek is already at near flood stage.

he is a radical liberal democrat, masquerading as a moderate.

He will not pass muster in the so called Red states (are there still red states???) and will never be president.

about Flag Burning.....if Antonin Scalia sees it as a first amendment right, so do I. at least legally. If I were to see someone stomping and burning a flag I would probably loose it and break the law by attacking and beating the *sshole to a bloody pulp. But I agree with Scalia on this 1st amendment right.
