And more surprising than the fact that a candidate for American president should harbor these political views is that nearly half the people in the country don’t see any problem with them. The fact he holds such anti-American views is attributable to his own particular history and values. The fact tens of millions of people can be taken in by such views is attributable to a social and educational system that has failed to teach a love of country and an understanding of its unique history and value

Obama Hypnosis Techniques

In 2001, Barack Obama said he saw aspects of Nazi Germany in American society and government.

No, he didn't. He was talking about what was motivating the USSC in the 1940's after another speaker was talking about horrible atrocities inflicted on blacks in the 1920's 30's and 40's. I want to win as much as anyone but this out of context stuff is just dishonest.

The problem is that since history really isn't taught, and that those in charge of education are the same ones who were enamored with socialism, communism, and Marxist economic and political philosophy, it shouldn't be a surprise.

I don't think that anyone under 30 is aware of the oppression of the Soviet Union, or remembers seeing people risking their lives (or losing their lives) trying to get out of East Berlin.

Che is now a popular t-shirt logo, as opposed to the murderous agitator he really was.

Why is it that nobody has equated Obama's statements about "spreading the wealth around" with his lamenting on the court NOT ruling for "economic justice," and his promise to appoint leftist, activist supreme court justices, just like the ones who upheld the Kelo case?

Kelo was an attack on the concept of private property, which is anathema to socialists.

“The fact tens of millions of people can be taken in by such views is attributable to a social and educational system that has failed to teach a love of country and an understanding of its unique history and values.”

Or an educational system that taught Marxism since 1962. The teachers now teaching were all taught by Marxists, and had to please Marxist professors to get their degrees and teaching certificates.

A lot of this planning in advance was discussed by Tom Hayden, way back when:

Obama is more of a fascist than a communist. His talk about community could be lifted from a speech by Hitler, Peron, or Mussolini. As did they, I believe that Obama would leave business in private hands, but subject it to strict state control.

I think the key to getting this out with impact is to find and publish all historic documents and correspondence associated with planned parenthood, linking it to the “negro project”.

No doubt they wouldn’t refer to that project these days...
but they may have been less careful in earlier years.

Where is the proof linking PP to this “project”?
If it exists, it needs to come out!

All of you parents out there who spent your life's savings sending your children to Marxist madrassas posing as public universities share a great deal of the blame.

You let communist professors like Barack Obama brainwash your kids and you pay them well to do it!

I have been saying this for a long time.

Stop financing communist indoctrination of your own children!

After you try to raise your young children with the proper values, you turn them over to communist bastards who are living off your hard-earned money while they lie to your children about the fundamental principles and history of the United States of America.

Stop being stupid!

Starve these communist madrassas of money and they will die and the propagandists will have to get jobs delivering pizza and shoveling manure out of barns which is their true calling.

I don't think he inspired Rousseau enough.

“And shame on a society so ignorant of its very nature that it neither notices nor cares.”

Yeah, but when, for the last 40 years, all kids (and adults) have heard are socialistic notions through gov’t schools, universities, MSM, and Hollywood/TV, what does he expect? And it isn’t all of “society”... yet.

The Democrat party is merely the mouthpiece of the main stream media.

What I find more surprising than the fact that your post is 100% accurate is that so many Americans have no difficulty with Marxism, socialism or communism.

“From each according to his ability, to each according to his need” comes from Frenchman Louis Blanc in his work “L’Organisation du travail” c. 1840. Marx just decided to Biden it for his own publication.

Dear Shortstop:

That is my sentiment exactly. Just one election ago, and even more so 3 or 4 elections ago, any one of those elements would have been enough to sink the candidate that held those views.

Obama has about 8 of those anti-American, Marxist views, and its like nobody cares. It’s one thing to tax and spend, but it quite another to tax and give to someone else to make the recipient more wealthy than he was through state redistribution.

And he states that Constitution is flawed. Here’s the deal everyone should be scared about: since Obama thinks it flawed, when he gets into office, he’s going to try to fix it, according to how he believes it should be fixed. To me, someone who attempts to change the Constitution, calls it deeply flawed, is an enemy within, as a dangerous as any Al Quaeda terrorist.
