[Soothesayer]

Now they can welcome comrade Barack into their ranks.

The New Anthem of the USSA (United States of Soviet America)

United forever in friendship and labour,
Our mighty republics will ever endure.
The Great Soviet Union will live through the ages.
The dream of a people their fortress secure.

Long live our Soviet motherland,
Built by the people’s mighty hand.
Long live our people, united and free.
Strong in our friendship tried by fire.
Long may our crimson flag inspire,
Shining in glory for all men to see.

Through days dark and stormy where Great Obamessiah lead us
Our eyes saw the bright sun of freedom above
And Obama our leader with faith in the people,
Inspired us to build up the land that we like.

Long live our Soviet motherland,
Built by the people’s mighty hand.
Long live our people, united and free.
Strong in our friendship tried by fire.
Long may our crimson flag inspire,
Shining in glory for all men to see.

We fought for the future, destroyed the invaders,
And brought to our homeland the laurels of fame.
Our glory will live in the memory of nations
And all non-aborted generations will honour her name.

Long live our Soviet motherland,
Built by the people’s mighty hand.
Long live our people, united and free.
Strong in our friendship tried by fire.
Long may our crimson flag inspire,
Shining in glory for all men to see.

Unbreakable Union of freeborn Republics,
Great USSA has welded forever to stand.
Created in struggle by will of the people,
United and mighty, our Soviet land!

Sing to the Motherland, home of the free,
Bulwark of peoples in brotherhood strong.
O Party of Democrats, the strength of the people,
To Communism’s triumph lead us on!

Through tempests the sunrays of freedom have cheered us,
Along the new path where great Obama did lead.
To a righteous cause he raised up the peoples,
Inspired them to labour and valourous deed.

Sing to the Motherland, home of the free,
Bulwark of peoples in brotherhood strong.
O Party of Dempcrats, the strength of the people,
To Communism’s triumph lead us on!

In the victory of Communism’s immortal ideal,
We see the future of our dear land.
And to her fluttering scarlet banner,
Selfishly true we always shall stand!

Sing to the Motherland, home of the free,
Bulwark of peoples in brotherhood strong.
O Party of Democrats, the strength of the people,
To Communism’s triumph lead us on!

And in honor of Obama being elected his comrades in Russia do this:

Nov. 5 (Bloomberg) — Russian leader Dmitry Medvedev said he would deploy new missiles in Europe, confronting the U.S. hours after Barack Obama won the American presidential election.

Medvedev said he would place a short-range Iskander missile system in Russia’s exclave of Kaliningrad, wedged between Poland and Lithuania, to ``neutralize’’ a planned U.S. missile-defense system ``if necessary,’’ Medvedev said. A radio-jamming installation in Kaliningrad will also be aimed at elements of the U.S. system in Poland and the Czech Republic, he said.

Bullsh!t. There’s a good reason he’s hiding the vault BC. Secrecy breeds speculation: Either the place of birth, or his birth name, or the father (or all). H had every opportunity to debunk these theories. Now it’s up to the electors to subpoena the doc and finish the vetting that should have been completed a year ago.

Saul Alinsky on "Change"...

"There's another reason for working inside the system. Dostoevsky said that taking a new step is what people fear most. Any revolutionary change must be preceded by a passive, affirmative, non-challenging attitude toward change among the mass of our people. They must feel so frustrated, so defeated, so lost, so futureless in the prevailing system that they are willing to let go of the past and change the future. This acceptance is the reformation essential to any revolution."[2]

We’re pretty well ****ed, in other words.

[ETL]

"The Communist Party USA views the 2008 elections as a tremendous opportunity to defeat the policies of the right-wing Republicans and to move our country in a new progressive direction.

The record turnout in the Democratic Presidential primary races shows that millions of voters, including millions of new voters, are using this election to bring about real change. We wholeheartedly agree with them."

[Seeing More Clearly Now]

Obama has been taught Marxist thinking since he was growing up from one radical mentor to another right upto and during his time in politics. Liberals want to think that he thinks as they do and want him because he he joined the Democratic Pary and is half African American and speaks well; there is no basis for their wishful thinking.

[uglybiker]

...with many voicing the hope that he will improve US-Russian relations

Translation: "We are soooooo gonna kick your a$$!"

[alloysteel]

Obama will lie down, roll over and do tricks for expressions of appreciation. He desperately wants to be liked, he really does, and is highly disappointed with those Americans who do not share that popular emotion of adoring him unconditionally. So much so, he will go to foreign sources to seek that affection, the affection that is the very stuff of his life.

So give him the affection.

Or suffer the consequences.

We are going to suffer the consequences anyway. So why are the wages for NOT receiving him as the saviour and messiah going to be exactly the same as for unconditional acceptance and love?

There will be setbacks.

[ETL]

Perhaps there was something to the possibility that Frank Marshall Davis was Obama's father. But to state it as fact is an entirely different matter, especially with the ton of already established stuff we had on him and the election rapidly approaching. We needed to focus on getting the known things out in a more intelligent way, such as linking Wright to Ayers and the Weather Underground in their shared belief in Marxist-revolutionary Black Liberation Theology. Sean Hannity and most of the other right-wing pundits seemed afraid to call either BLT or the Weather Underground communist, despite the fact that they (Ayers and Dohrn) proudly admitted it themselves. Both Ayers and Wright actually challenged Hannity to debate communism vs capitalism (Wright with James Cone's so-called 'Liberation Theology').

"Their founding document [the Weather Underground's] called for the establishment of a "white fighting force" to be allied with the "Black Liberation Movement" and other "anti-colonial" movements[1] to achieve "the destruction of US imperialism and the achievement of a classless world: world communism."..."-Berger, Dan (2006).

"they [the Weather Underground] employed revolutionary jargon, advocated armed struggle and black liberation and began bombing buildings, taking responsibility for at least 20 attacks. Estimates of their number ranged at times from several dozen to several hundred."

Catholics for Marx
By Fr. Robert Sirico
FrontPageMagazine.com | Thursday, June 03, 2004

In the days when the Superpowers were locked in a Cold War, Latin America seethed with revolution, and millions lived behind an iron curtain, a group of theologians concocted a novel idea within the history of Christianity. They proposed to combine the teachings of Jesus with the teachings of Marx as a way of justifying violent revolution to overthrow the economics of capitalism.

The Gospels were re-rendered not as doctrine impacting on the human soul but rather as windows into the historical dialectic of class struggle. These "liberation theologians" saw every biblical criticism of the rich as a mandate to expropriate the expropriating owners of capital, and every expression of compassion for the poor as a call for an uprising by the proletarian class of peasants and workers.

From the New York Times, April 28, 2008
Reverend Wright at the National Press Club
"In the late 1960s, when Dr. James Cone's powerful books burst onto the scene, the term 'black liberation theology' began to be used. I do not in any way disagree with Dr. Cone, nor do I in any way diminish the inimitable and incomparable contributions that he has made and that he continues to make to the field of theology. Jim, incidentally, is a personal friend of mine."

From Jeff Head's website...
One notable quote from [James] Cone describing his Black Liberation Theology is as follows:

"Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill Gods who do not belong to the black community ... Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject his love." - "Divine Racism: The Unacknowledged Threshold Issue for Black Theology", in African-American Religious Thought: An Anthology, by William R Jones, ed Cornel West and Eddie Glaube (Westminster John Knox Press).

HANNITY: But Reverend Jeremiah Wright is not backing down and has not for years and in his strong stance on the teaching of black liberation theology is nothing new. He had the same things to say last spring when he appeared on "Hannity & Colmes:"

WRIGHT: If you're not going to talk about theology in context, if you're not going to talk about liberation theology that came out of the '60s, systematized black liberation theology that started with Jim Cone in 1968 and the writings of Cone and the writings of Dwight Hopkins and the writings of womynist theologians and Asian theologians and Hispanic theologians, then you can't talk about the black value system.

HANNITY: But I'm a — reverend

WRIGHT: Do you know liberation theology, sir?

[Lexinom]

Thanks for the info. I've been reading through some of the links.

I think we can agree that one of the problems we had taking down H was precisely because of the sheer volume of dirt on this guy. A) couldn't decide what to pursue and pulled the sled in difference directions; B) because there was so much, the public perhaps because jaded. Very much like the Clintons.

[Lexinom]

Attrocious spelling - didn’t cancel the “post” in time. Woke up at 4:30 a.m. and realized it wasn’t a bad dream, could not get back to sleep, so I’m tired today!
