How I know Obama is a Communist - ALAN KEYES
America's Independent Party ^ | Sunday, February 22, 2009 | Alan Keyes

Posted on 02/22/2009 11:26:27 AM PST by EternalVigilance

Loyal to Liberty THOUGHTLET

What signals the difference between a "socialist" and a "communist"? It's the gradual repression of political and civil liberty culminating in the open prosecution and suppression of dissident views. But this suppression cannot come about until a monopoly has been established over access to the seats of government executive and decision making power. The key manifestation of this monopoly is of course some form of party dictatorship.

Aside from all the evidence in his known background, associates, policy preferences and political actions one of the main reasons I make bold to call Obama a communist is his grab for unchecked partisan control over the conduct of the next census. Skillful manipulation of the census could make the decisive contribution to establishing an electorally unchallengeable party monopoly, which would then provide the basis for consolidating party dictatorship. If such dictatorship were not part of their agenda, the Obama faction would leave ultimate oversight of the census process where the Constitution places it in the hands of the legislative branch. As it clearly is part of their agenda, only ignorance or willful stupidity blinds people to Obama's ambition to establish a better tailored version of Soviet-style government in the U.S.

Of course, there may be another name for what keeps some of the so-called Republicans from speaking out about it. Could it be cowardice?

Because the census creates political districts for TEN years...until the next census.

It isn’t just a 2 year thing.

Alan looked at me, smiled, and then turned back to the gentleman and said, "you were just over there talking to Him."

Great story---a man who lives his faith. What a beautiful thing!

I thought so also.

An earlier post on Mr. Keyes brought out some bed wetters, which was the gist of my comment here.

OK you won’t have to wait. Keyes HAS been a little nutty in the recent past.

That said... I still like him, and I’m very glad he’s on this like a pit bull. And he still has one of the most excellent intellects in this nation today.

Conservatives do worry, way too much, about being painted as “kooks” -—
Yes, we need to think about it, we need to make sure our facts are accurate before we take shots at libs -— but, as long as someone is on OUR SIDE, and that person is shooting at the enemy?
This concern over “who speaks for conservatives” is nuts.

“Conservative firing squads always form a circle”

I did not like it that Keyes ran a 3rd Party campaign. I have met the man, several times. I forgive him for his past mistakes. I am happy to have him take shots at Obama.

Keyes is right this time, and he deserves our support.

The Census is always under the control of the party in the White House. I don’t get what difference it makes whether the Commerce Department runs it or whether the White House runs it, its still Democrats for 2010.

Well yes except the Constitution of the U.S. places that power in the Legislative Branch. We would need an amendment to the Constitution in order for the Executive Branch to take control of it. Commerce is in the Legislative article.

Legislative Powers Article 1: The actual Enumeration shall be made within three years after the first meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent term of ten years, in such manner as they shall by law direct.

If you read the questionnaire Jr filled out in 1996 to run for State Senate you will notice he said he was a civil rights lawyer and lectured on civil rights law at UC. Once again he embellished when he said he is a “Constitutional lawyer” so I wonder what words of wisdom his sister uses while teaching her students about the Constitution?

Obama may well be a communist but I’d rather hear it from a sane person that a nut like Keyes.

That was exactly my point, in the post you were responding to. No arguments.
