Some pundits are calling him the next John F. Kennedy. He’s not. He’s the next George McGovern. And it’s time people learned the facts.

Because the truth is that Mr. Obama is the single most liberal senator in the entire U.S. Senate. He is more liberal than Ted Kennedy, Bernie Sanders, or Mrs. Clinton.

Never in my life have I seen a presidential frontrunner whose rhetoric is so far removed from his record. Walter Mondale promised to raise our taxes, and he lost. George McGovern promised military weakness, and he lost. Michael Dukakis promised a liberal domestic agenda, and he lost.

Yet Mr. Obama is promising all those things, and he’s not behind in the polls. Why? Because the press has dealt with him as if he were in a beauty pageant.

Nice article. Very family friendly. Sort of like hitting someone with a blackjack covered by a doily.

Let’s also do a “Meet the Obama’s Church.”

I too am getting sick of all this “Obama-nation” stuff. Or maybe I should just call it what it is: obamanation. Read that out loud and you’ll get my meaning.

Barack is an updated version of guru, Jim Jones; and his audiences cannot get enough of his kool-aide. The first time I heard him speak was his televised appearance at DNC convention; I got cold chills.

Not from admiration; but rather from a 'fear' response; watching the audience respond, not to his speech; but rather to the power of his voice and his rhythmic articulation of the words for which substance need not be accountable. His words inviting only, the rise of emotion. Capturing the feelings of those listening, as a darkness captures light. Beyond Reason and easy to recognize; a force of darkness to be reckoned with. . .

Wished at that moment, that this man might change his career path and decide on something more suitable. . .like 'televangelism'. Realized later, that at the least, a synthetic evangelism was and IS his career; and he has found the 'fastest track' to his success.

the most liberal senator in 2007 was Barack Obama, who took the liberal position on 65 of the 66 key votes on which he voted.

....America appears to be taking an abrupt left turn off the cliff to socialism with its happy happy for Obama. Not a good sign at all.

Folks who listen to Obama speak may feel uplifted

That's what it is, Obamaspeak. Very much like Newspeak in Orwell's 1984:

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: " Newspeak is a fictional language in George Orwell's novel Nineteen Eighty-Four. In the novel, it is described as being "the only language in the world whose vocabulary gets smaller every year." Orwell included an essay about it in the form of an appendix[1] in which the basic principles of the language are explained. Newspeak is closely based on English but has a greatly reduced and simplified vocabulary and grammar. This suits the totalitarian regime of the Party, whose aim is to make any alternative thinking ("thoughtcrime") or speech impossible by removing any words or possible constructs which describe the ideas of freedom, rebellion and so on. One character says admiringly of the shrinking volume of the new dictionary: "It's a beautiful thing, the destruction of words."

For more on the principles of Newspeak, go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newspeak

If you have a chance, watch this documentary on Hitler, which includes film of how he learned to speak in public from an acting coach he hired. In private, Hitler was quite a different man, the documentary reveals. Not at all hypnotic. But he deliberately and with full knowledge hypnotized crowds

I’d love to have an expert at hypnosis and at NeuroLinguistic Programming analyze Obama’s speech patterns. I know he’s been coached by experts in crowd control. I worked with a couple of top-level motivational speakers and recognize the patterns. Those guys were hollow jerks too.
