"LeBlanc also wants the peace movement to help President Obama overcome the opposition to achieving his goal of a world free of nuclear weapons.
The nuclear disarmament movement in the US and around the world is beginning to rebuild, premised on the idea that if President Obama is able to challenge those who want to maintain nuclear superiority, it is going to take a grassroots movement like the one in the 1980s that compelled a nuclear disarmament agreement and moved the US government to sign treaties. Now at this point the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, which has been languishing in the Senate for decades since the Clinton administration and has never been brought to a vote again for ratification after it was defeated. As for the START treaty (Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty) with Russia, which expired in December and is continuing to be negotiated, if that bill is brought before the Senate at this point, just like many other pieces of legislation the Obama Administration supports, it would be doomed.
So we are in the midst of trying to rebuild a grassroots nuclear disarmament movement that can build on the antiwar sentiments that still remain very strong in our country, building on the idea that, in fact, the best way to change US foreign policy is for the US to take steps to reduce its nuclear stockpiles, but to also take some extraordinary steps that would send a signal to the world that the US is ready to begin comprehensive negotiations on a real nuclear convention, a real document that would set the guidelines and the deadlines for nuclear disarmament, total nuclear disarmament.
LeBlanc signals that the peace movements new direction will begin with a major campaign. Significantly May 1, will be the kickoff date and New Yorks far left Riverside Church will be the founding venue."

Ping!
Obama seems to be following the commie plans right on schedule.
Gates just reallocated $6Billion from military to energy - supporting non-nuclear alternatives.
He’s being set up as MAJOR fall guy on this non-nuclear gig.
Hillary even credited him with the whole program.
Good catch! ‘International Worker’s Day’...a commie celebration.
Gates isn’t a ‘fall guy’. He is a willing participant. Why do you think Obama kept him? Gates is a moron!
Ewwwwww....LOL!
Elections have CONSEQUENCES!!!!!
Actually, I like that the libs are bringing this issue in the open for all to see. Otherwise Obama would just hide major military reductions in some obscure bill and it would not be noticed until the bill had passed into law. When called out on it Obama would just spin the reductions as actually an increase and the media would accept this and parrot it constantly. It would soon be overshadowed by other outrageous actions of The One and thus he would ultimately get his way with little downside.

I just finished reading a column at the American Thinker, titled OBAMA'S LIST
Excerpts:
As for the newly announced nuclear disarmament treaty with Russia, we know even less about that, apart from it being a "breakthrough." The single concrete point I've been able to gather is that the treaty terms will allow 800 launch systems, a provision that only indirectly involves nuclear weapons as such. If true, this has the feel of complete disarmament and not the nuclear variety at all. Does this mean 800 missiles? Or missiles, bombers, and submarines, and what have you? It doesn't sound at all good. We'll know more when Massa O comes down from the big house to explain it to us.
Nuclear disarmament was in large part of product of the KGB, the secret sponsors of every disarmament movement from the 1950s SANE to the to the 1980s Nuclear Freeze. But tainted origins don't matter. Anything is better than nukes, which must be banished forthwith.
There is an argument to be made for maintaining a small but useful number of nuclear weapons, but you won't hear it from the left. Their contention is that nukes are no good and must be gotten rid of in toto. Forget the fact that they ended World War II decisively and quickly, that they helped win the Cold War (Could the West have kept the USSR contained without them? The simple answer is "no".), and have played a large part in keeping the peace since. No matter -- they're Bad Things, and must be eradicated, along with DDT, alar, fast foods, and Toyota. So Obama has heroically tackled the job -- just as Iran is obtaining its own nuclear arsenal. Great timing.

The rest of the column is required reading. He has a list and he's taking us on the highway to Hell.
Rush is now saying their blistering pace is because they know "it's now or never" - before the new congress. Well, DUH. If we have elections. I am starting to worry.
This is the same conclusion I came to following the whole don't ask, don't tell policy change. And quite frankly, this type of Bush appointee should not come as a surprise.
What the HELL is going on in Washington, D.C.? Why isn’t anyone saying STOP! NO! You cannot DO this?
Dear GOD what is it going to take?
“Elections have CONSEQUENCES!!!!!”
Yep...and so does having a corrupt,leftist and sociopathic media.
Unfortunately, it looks like the radical left church is without a preacher.
James A. Forbes Jr., 19892007, was heralded by Newsweek magazine as one of the twelve most effective English-language preachers, and called one of the best black pastors by Ebony magazine. Forbes was proclaimed Distinguished Senior Minister Emeritus upon his retirement.
Brad R. Braxton became Riverside's sixth Senior Minister in 2008.[1] Braxton graduated from the University of Virginia and was then a Rhodes scholar at Oxford.[5] On June 29, 2009 he submitted his letter of resignation.
As of 2010, the church is searching for its next senior minister.
I have no idea, but this Muslim-Marxist has to be stopped. He’s completely out of control. He is not a dictator, but with one party rule, he is being permitted to act like a dictator. Tyranny.
I am listening to Rush.
Obama and the case of the missing 'thesis'
By Jim Popkin, NBC News Senior Investigative Producer
July 24, 2008
excerpt:
The hunt for Obamas senior thesis began with a throwaway line in a newspaper article last October. The New York Times story, on Obamas early New York years, mentioned in passing that the presidential contender had majored in political science at Columbia and had spent his time writing his thesis on Soviet nuclear disarmament.
Journalists began hounding Columbia University for copies of the musty document. Conservative bloggers began wondering if the young Obama had written a no-nukes screed that he might come to regret. And David Bossie, the former congressional investigator and right-wing hit man, as one newspaper described him, took out classified newspaper ads in Columbia Universitys newspaper and the Chicago Tribune in March searching for the term paper.
Bossie came up dry, but said the effort was well worth it:
A thesis entitled Soviet Nuclear Disarmament, written at the height of The Cold War in 1983, might shed some light upon what Barack Obama thought about our most pressing foreign policy issue for 40-plus years (U.S.-Soviet Relations), he wrote in an e-mail to NBC News.

_________________________________________________
Here is the passage from the New York Times that the above article refers to:
"He barely mentions Columbia, training ground for the elite, where he transferred in his junior year, majoring in political science and international relations and writing his thesis on Soviet nuclear disarmament. He dismisses in one sentence his first community organizing job work he went on to do in Chicago though a former supervisor remembers him as 'a star performer.'"
[snip]
"he [Obama] declined repeated requests to talk about his New York years, release his Columbia transcript or identify even a single fellow student, co-worker, roommate or friend from those years.
'He doesnt remember the names of a lot of people in his life,' said Ben LaBolt, a campaign spokesman."
Obamas Account of New York Years Often Differs From What Others Say

Profile: Institute For Policy Studies (IPS)
IPSs [Institute For Policy Studies] Washington, DC headquarters quickly became a resource center for national reporters and a place for KGB agents from the nearby Soviet embassy to convene and strategize. Cora Weiss headed one of the IPS's most successful forays -- into Riverside Church in Manhattan. She was invited there in 1978 by the Reverend William Sloane Coffin to run the church's Disarmament Program, which sought to consolidate Soviet nuclear superiority in Europe -- in the name of "peace." In 1982 Weiss helped organize the largest pro-disarmament demonstration ever held. Staged in New York City, the rally was attended by a coalition of communist organizations. During her decade-long tenure at Riverside, which became home to the National Council of Churches, Weiss regularly received Russian KGB agents, Sandinista friends, and Cuban intelligence agents. Weiss became infamous for her role in the psychological warfare conducted against U.S. prisoners of war held in the infamous "Hanoi Hilton" during the Vietnam War.
The Liberation News Service, which is a news source for hundreds of "alternative" publications nationwide (with antiwar, Marxist-oriented perspectives), was founded in 1967 with IPS assistance."

1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.
2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.
3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.

Don’t you think Obama and Friends is trying to ruin America as fast as they can?
Have you seen this, my previous post?
He was pretending,
just to get elected.
He is no longer pretending:
Read this and weep:
Obama was a MARXIST in college, and still is now today.
Here is an interview with a Dr. Drew, PhD, a fellow student at the time, and therefore it is from someone who knew him very very well: send this to everyone you know if you wish to spread the (blocked) word:
http://www.newsrealblog.com/2010/02/13/marxist-obama-why-the-media-has-been-silent/
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBGBszZ2Qw0
The full interview is devastating.
Too bad Fox News ignored Dr. Drew in 2008 when he contacted them.
We now know the details of Barrys Occidental years.
He was an avowed and committed Marxist.
He looked forward to the revolution when the Marxists would overthrow our government.
His love for Marxism was unusually strong.
He looked forward to the revolution when the Marxists would overthrow our government.
His love for Marxism was unusually strong;
He was in passionate agreement with the most radical Marxist Leninist professors.
