We, as parents, are well aware of the importance of our teachers who teach and program our children. We also know how important it is for our children to play with good-thinking children growing up.
Sen. Barack Obama has grown up with the teaching of very angry, militant white and black people: the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Louis Farrakhan, William Ayers and Rev. Michael Pfleger. We cannot say we are not affected by teachers who are militant and angry. We know too well that we become like them, and Mr. Obama will run this country in their mindset.
The Democratic Party, in its quest for power, has managed a propaganda campaign with subliminal messages, creating a God-like figure in a man who falls short in every way. It seems to me that if Mr. Obama wins the presidential election, then Messrs. Farrakhan, Wright, Ayers and Pfleger will gain power for their need to demoralize this country and help create a socialist America.
The Democrats have targeted young people, knowing how easy it is to bring forth whatever is needed to program their minds. I know this process well. I was caught up in the hysteria during the Vietnam era, which was brought about through Marxist propaganda underlying the so-called peace movement. The radicals of that era were successful in giving the communists power to bring forth the killing fields and slaughter 2.5 million people in Cambodia and South Vietnam. Did they stop the war, or did they bring the war to those innocent people? In the end, they turned their backs on all the horror and suffering they helped create and walked away.
Those same leaders who were in the streets in the '60s are very powerful today in their work to bring down the Iraq war and to attack our...

I searched and didn't find this on freerepublic... either way it bears repeating.
VERY good article.
He was great in “Holes”! Ever see that? If not, get it. Hilarious.
I dunno, I can forgive him his youthfull antiwar activism but I can’t forgive him “Midnight Cowboy.”
Not that there was anything wrong with his acting, it’s just that that set the tone for dark, depressing, degenerate movies as “authentic.”
He’s kinda got that Christopher Walken personna goin’.
He’s been around a long time and I never knew he was such a strong conservative-patriot... refreshing in H’Wierd right now.
Bravo Mr. Voight!
God bless you.
Great quote... the truth is probably even darker than the quote can paint.
Dang, that article doesn’t pull any punches.
Midnight Cowboy was no fault of John Voight. He was a young actor playing a role given him by scriptwriters and a director telling a story. A story about what can happen to a naive young man in a place like NY city. Voight played the role superbly, the story was raw and real. IMO, it really deserved the best picture Oscar for that year.
I think the writer is a dentist........./s
(for Seinfeld fans)
But, really, the writer has an “h” in his name, Jon Voight doesn’t. Is it the actor who wrote this?
You know it’s really something how I know there are many prayers for good leaders to rise and Sarah Palin comes on scene, then John Voight writing several strong, reasoned pieces hitting at the heart of the problem.
However one chooses to look at it, I’m very thankful for folks like these standing up, saying things we can relate to, shining the light of truth in dark corners and I thank them for their strength and courage and the skills to say these things in the right manner with intelligence and reason.
It won.
This is so bizarre - here we are in the midst of a downward spiral, a meltdown brought on by the friends of and the policies of the guy who is ahead in the polls and who is being helped by the fraud of the very people on whose behalf he successfully sued the banks to force the banks to provide
preferential treatment that precipitated the meltdown and will now be underwritten by the taxpayers to keep things from getting even worse.
HOW DUMB ARE WE? Anyone who actually pays taxes and votes for this flim flam man is a MORON.
And like I said, it really deserved to.
Follow the link on the article...
I see it was written by the Actor.
Strong, moving article! I wish he would make a tv ad.
His story is very convincing! He was fooled by the Marxists, and can expose the fact that Obama is using the same tactics!
He is so brave. His own family disagrees with him, and he is throwing himself out there for certain ridicule. I am going to go out and buy everyone of is videos....except “coming home”!
It was rated “X” at the time. These days the same movie would be rated PG.
However, if, say, a year ago I was told that 90% of the US media willingly and with great enthusiasm converts itself into unabashed propagandists, forgets any tenets of journalism and gets weak at the knees seeing “the glorious leader”, I would not believe that. Too bad this is what just unfolds before our very eyes.
