I was in college during the time the SDS were pressing their muscles. I was the President of the college Young Republicans and a member of the Young Americas for Freedom.
I was politically ambitious and rose to the midwest leadership of the young Republicans. We had many confrontations with the SDs/ We had heard that they formed a bond to continue their wicked work as long as they lived.
We too took an oath to do our best to promote our causes. WE did our work legally. Our group included future Governors, congressmen, an advisor to President Reagan (James Scott Brady), ad visors to governors, state legislators, and while our best days are behind us, we are still working where we can.
My point is, that while I have no direct knowledge of a Rathke/Ayers connection, I believe that from their questionable behavior, the proof of their pledge to the cause is certain.
A pledge like that wouldn’t surprise me at all — especially from a group that spawned Ayers and his group. They would’ve needed a pledge that was binding such as that to even have a chance at carrying out their plans...
It reminds me of when many of us were warning Bush that Putin was STILL a Communist! And, incidently, Putin was quoted as speaking to a COMMUNIST PARTY meeting just last week (they’re back, and not pretending anymore). He has also called for putting back together “OUR UNION”!
Just as back in the 60s these groups had ties to Moscow, and Cuba, I wouldn’t doubt that they STILL DO. If you look at the causes and the people surrounding Obama, my “wild conspiracy theory” of the Communists and Islamo-Fascists working together to take down the US becomes more and more plausible.
Just add in the connections in Kenya (Odinga & the Islamo-fascist genocidal “muscle” he used to gain power), Indonesia, Venezuela & Chavez, Iran, Syria, Hamas in Lebanon, Hezbollah in the Middle East AND South America, etc... and you will clearly see we are not merely up against Obama in this war (and it IS a war), but we are up against some VERY determined groups whose goals have not changed in decades (centuries when you take into account the Islamo-Fascist ties). This election is but one “battle”, IMHO.
These people haven’t changed a bit, IMHO. Ayers may not be setting bombs off, but it’s not like he’s not still working for the same goals - to take down the U.S. and destroy Capitalism. He is STILL a Communist Revolutionary, and I don’t think it would take much to push him back into his old ways - he’ll just let the “youngsters” do the “work” for him now...
