Nailed It!

This ping list is not author-specific for articles I'd like to share. Some for the perfect moral clarity, some for provocative thoughts; or simply interesting articles I'd hate to miss myself. (I don't have to agree with the author all 100% to feel the need to share an article.) I will try not to abuse the ping list and not to annoy you too much, but on some days there is more of the good stuff that is worthy of attention. You can see the list of articles I pinged to lately  on  my page.
You are welcome in or out, just freepmail me (and note which PING list you are talking about). Besides this one, I keep 2 separate PING lists for my favorite authors Victor Davis Hanson and Orson Scott Card.

Stanley Kurtz :

This is not about what happened when Obama was eight years old. Ayers and Obama both believe in a redistributionist economic policies. Together Ayers and Obama backed radical community organizers like ACORN, a key player in the mortgage crisis. ACORN’s assault on credit-standards was driven by its redistributionist philosophy. So Obama’s radical associations reveal the truth of his economic policies. It’s all of a piece. But this critical point has not been made.

People still speak as though the "associations" issue and the economic issue are two different things. They’re not. ACORN wants to spread Joe’s wealth around. So does Bill Ayers. That’s why Obama worked with both ACORN and Ayers.

This story makes it sound like there has been no communication between Ayers and Obama since 2005. Actually all it says is the two have not exchanged e-mails or phone calls. BIG difference.

My bet is that these two are often in contact with each other — after all, they have so much in common..........

It seems pretty clear by now that, although Obama has no intention of blowing up any building, he’s a staunch, naive disciple of the Radical Chic that I thought was dead a long time ago. Obama still refuses to explain his past relationship with longtime Employer/Mentor Bill Ayers other than to say that Bill won’t be a part of his Administration. I’d say that this is cold comfort for the average voter. People keep talking about how Obama appeals to young voters, but I’m not buying it. Obama’s main appeal seems to be more to the older Baby Boomers who are re-living their teenage years, still pretending to be fighting “the man.”

Obviously Obama is still enthralled with Ayers and even makes light of his Mentorship with Bill. While he still won’t explain why he had deep ties to Ayers, he felt free to make jokes about it at the Alfred Smith dinner. Obama seems to underestimate the signficance of the issue to the general public, because he is surrounded by a coterie of media admirers who don’t think it’s a big deal.

Obama shares Ayers's Leftist politics. Whatever distance Obama has imposed in the last couple of years is strictly a function of his electoral ambitions.

So true.

Ayres is now a ‘distinguished professor of education’ who has written several textbooks widely used all over the country. The books indoctrinate young kids with the notion that socialism is great and America is evil. Lesson plans included, and a test on Wed.

The far left (Ayres and pals), decided two things long ago. One, to follow Marx and brainwash young children in school as soon as possible. And two, to create a candidate for the US presidency who would carry out their aims. Obama is that creation, the Manchurian Candidate come to life. If this doesn’t scare the pants off you, how about the distinct possibility of Ayres a member of Obama’s cabinet, say, the Secretary of Education? Along with John Kerry as Sec. of State. Are you freaking yet?
