Barack Obama has a habit of hanging out with flamethrowers who espouse radical causes. Theres Obamas long-time associate, former Weatherman William Ayers, who once boasted, I dont regret setting bombs . . . I feel we didnt do enough.
And Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Obamas spiritual mentor, who has defended the notion that Zionism is racism, compared white kids to rocks, and propounded the theory that the government invented AIDS to kill off Black folks.
Last week Obama finally decided he had heard enough and rebuked the Raging Reverend, calling his latest rant divisive and destructive and giving comfort to those who prey on hate.
Then theres Mr. Obamas embrace of radical feminism. Like Rev. Wrights black liberation ideology, the core of feminism is a dogmatic belief in a malevolent, all-pervasive conspiracy that renders its victims helpless. Call it capitalism or the patriarchy, the effect is the same.
And just as Jeremiah Wright spews his hatred for American society, feminists blame every unpleasantness on the alleged shortcomings of men.
This past Thursday, New York Times columnist Gail Collins indulged in her latest anti-male diatribe: Men with egos are, of course, the central topic this week. Every roadbump in the campaigns of the two Democratic challengers, Collins insists, can be blamed on those nincompoopish, self-centered men.
It comes as an enormous relief, Im sure, to learn that Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi dont suffer from inflated egos.
Lets take a look at the issues the National Organization for Women [1] is pushing and then compare them with the [2] Women for Obama website. (Both bear a remarkable resemblance to the womens platform of the Communisy Party of the USA but thats another story.)
As you can see, Senator Obama is marching lock-step with the radical feminist agenda, pretty much from A to Z:
Abortion: Obama endorses the entire abortion package, including partial-birth abortion. The National Abortion Rights Action League gave Obama a perfect 100% score over the last three years.
Child Support: Obama wants to spend $4.9 billion over 10 years to throw more low-income dads in jail. That will force more single moms onto the welfare rolls. Makes a lot of sense, doesnt it?
Contraception: Obama wants to expand teenagers' access to contraception. Remember last months comment that he didnt want his daughters to be punished with a baby?
Domestic Violence: The Democratic candidate believes that women are never violent towards their husbands. (I guess Hillary laying tracks on Bills face and singer Amy Winehouse beating up her hubbie dont count.)
Gender Wage Gap: Barack insists discrimination is the reason why women choose to work fewer hours than men, and that needs to be fixed with stronger enforcement of the Equal Pay Act.
Math and Science: Women hold only 12% of science and engineering jobs in business and industry. More proof of the patriarchy keeping women down.
Title IX: Obama wants to continue Clinton-era policies that impose government-enforced quotas on mens participation in college athletics.
Women-Owned Businesses: Female-owned businesses are more likely to have their loan applications denied. Didnt I tell you discrimination lurks everywhere?
Womens Health: Obama wants to fund the separate-and-unequal Centers of Excellence in Womens Health that turn away uninsured men with serious medical problems.
And then theres the matter of Michelle Obama. An intelligent and charming woman, Im certain. But is she First Lady material? I have my doubts.
At a New York fundraiser, she tweaked the Illinois Senator for not putting his socks actually in the dirty clothes a necessary qualification, we know, for every man who one day hopes to become president.
And at a Hollywood event, Mrs. Obama uttered this derisive remark: I am always a little amazed at the response that people get when they hear from Barack. A great man, a wonderful man. But still a man.
But still a man? Somehow this reminds me of the patronizing attitude that once galvanized the civil rights movement.
Michelle continued, And then theres the Barack Obama that lives with me in my house, and that guys a little less than impressive.
Lives with me in my house? Thats right, Barack was a waif who showed up one day on Michelles doorstep. He should be appreciative.
For some reason this guy still cant manage to put the butter up when he makes the toast, secure the bread so that it doesnt get stale, and his 5-year-old daughter is still better at making the bed than he is.
Barack Obama, the latest hen-pecked Democratic candidate who has pretensions of becoming the next Leader of the Free World.
I’m beginning to suspect Obama is a puppet of Michelle.
Put me down as less certain.
NObomba is a puppet of white liberals. He’s been spoonfed thru the system and Heaven forbid he comes to power, it will be the Kennedy-type decisionmakers who will be his puppeteers.
No way that Barry Hussein or the Hildabeast can get anywhere near the white house. These two con artists are the same face on the two sided coin called socialism....socialism is a failure!
