Hiding his real agenda? He’s already implemented half of it.

If people would only do their homework! The information was certainly available. I tried to tell people in my circle. In the early 80’s, I was a young and stupid college Black radical serving an internship for Congressman Harold Washington in Southside Chicago. At the time, I hated White people and wanted to be actively involved in the the destruction of the government. What bothers me now is I worked with some of the same people that our current (gag, hacking cough) El presidente did. Many of these people shared my opinion. Their goals were for overturning the government and replacing it with at the minimum, a socialistic form of government.

Later on in life I accepted Jesus as my L-rd and Savior. He took the hate away and replaced it with love and compassion. I later joined the US Air Force and served for 8 years and it was an honor to serve my country.

My warning is if Obama has retained the same mindset I had while living in Southside Chicago (based on his actions, it sadly appears he has) he and his ilk need to be voted out of office YESTERDAY!

Katherine Kersten is and has been the lone voice of sanity at the Mpls “Red” Star.

Too many are jumping to incorrect conclusions, she is one of us.

I noticed that the comments in favor of the article were either thoughtful or polite opinion whereas those against were outright abusive. For me personally, the best was the defense that he "went to Harvard." (a) Can I see those records to assess whether he was any good while at Harvard, and (b) Separate argument: Harvard is an 'Elites Mill' turning out people who believe that they can and should rule the world whereas experience has proved that they should not.

I'm so far to the right, I'm writing myself in as county coroner November 2nd, 'cuz the only one on the ballot for it here is a Dimocrat (perfect for stealing the pennies off a dead man's eyes). Besides, I had a dozen hours of Bio in College, and my brother-in-law can field clean a buck like nobody's business, so I figure between the two of us, I can probably say convincingly, "Yup. Looks like he died of a gunshot wound."

Feel free to write me in if you're in my district.

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

Just how is it that he hid his agenda? Did the writer not check out his voting record?

Should there be any doubt now, perhaps a quick comparison between the ideas of Thomas Jefferson on debt and deficits versus those of Obama might clue some of these folks in to his real agenda.

"To preserve [the] independence [of the people,] we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our election between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude. If we run into such debts as that we must be taxed in our meat and in our drink, in our necessaries and our comforts, in our labors and our amusements, for our callings and our creeds, as the people of England are, our people, like them, must come to labor sixteen hours in the twenty-four, give the earnings of fifteen of these to the government for their debts and daily expenses, and the sixteenth being insufficient to afford us bread, we must live, as they now do, on oatmeal and potatoes, have no time to think, no means of calling the mismanagers to account, but be glad to obtain subsistence by hiring ourselves to rivet their chains on the necks of our fellow-sufferers." --Thomas Jefferson to Samuel Kercheval, 1816. ME 15:39

"I deem [this one of] the essential principles of our government and consequently [one] which ought to shape its administration:... The honest payment of our debts and sacred preservation of the public faith." --Thomas Jefferson: 1st Inaugural, 1801. ME 3:322

"I sincerely believe... that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity under the name of funding is but swindling futurity on a large scale." --Thomas Jefferson to John Taylor, 1816. ME 15:23

"[With the decline of society] begins, indeed, the bellum omnium in omnia [war of all against all], which some philosophers observing to be so general in this world, have mistaken it for the natural, instead of the abusive state of man. And the fore horse of this frightful team is public debt. Taxation follows that, and in its train wretchedness and oppression." --Thomas Jefferson to Samuel Kercheval, 1816. ME 15:40

In his own First Inaugural, Jefferson listed the principles by which his Administration would be guided. He concluded by advising future generations that should we wander away from them, we should return to them as the only path which "leads to peace, liberty, and safety."

Obama supporters might take note.

I’m not familiar with the author or her views, but she’s reporting about Kurtz’s book, this isn’t an op-ed.

But I find it fascinating that the Minn Red-Star Trib allowed the word tsunami to be used relating to November 2.

“I want to be president of the United States, and I don’t want Obama to be. But I have to tell you, I have to tell you, he is a decent person, and a person that you do not have to be scared as President of the United States.”

Yup, hiding right in plain sight for anyone willing to open their eyes and utilize their brain. Kate, dear, calling you slow is an insult to slow people.

I don’t understand how anyone 2 years ago, dismissed Obama’s sitting in Rev. Wright’s church for 20 YEARs...listening to the hate and bile he spewed...Obama must have believed it, if not, he could have walked out. That and his association with Ayers. Any other Presidental candidate with these associations would have been drummed out of the race.....but we know why he wasn’t.....the left protected him, his background, his little or no experience. And we are paying for it....

Well, Kurtz is very good at this---so is David Limbaugh's great new book, "Crimes Against Liberty." But I'll cite a certain LS who in August 2009 (!!) posted on the www.patriotshistoryusa.com blog that the Dems were going to pass Obamacare no matter how many seats it cost them, even if it guaranteed Obama's loss in 2012, because they saw this (and amnesty, which, thank God so far has failed) as their "doomsday machine" that would give them a socialist state forever.

I agree he's always been a radical and that few have been willing to address it only because in part the word "socialist" has lost so much of its meaning anymore.

Katherine Kersten: Obama has been hiding his real agenda

Excellent mysterious post,

Why do people insist that Obama "hid his agenda?"

What he did, against very weak opposition, is SELL his agenda to 53% of the voters who bothered to show up. The fact that so many Americans were blinded by the obvious is what is insane here.

However, with turn-out as low as it is, The Marxist Moonbeam from Mombasa only had to sell his shoddy goods to 26% of eligible voters. The way things are going, that's welfare recipients, college geeks, union members, minorities, and the ladies.

I took the time to read Dreams From My Father in early 2008. None of what has happened since is a surprise to me.

Why is it a surprise to so many in the elitist chattering class?

“Obama has purposely disguised what he believes, and is actively seeking to mislead the American people about his agenda. Obama, says Kurtz, is a socialist. He believes — not in state ownership — but in a savvier version of socialism that seeks to transform and undermine American capitalism through ever-expanding government control; irreversible entitlements; and a metastasizing public sector...”

Kurtz is getting close to the reality.

The reality is 0b0z0 has been creating another Facist regime like those created in Germany, Italy and Spain in the 1930-40’s. The powerful/super elites in those countries become government supported/mandated monopolies.

0b0z0, Reid, Pelosi Galore,Dodd, Barney the gay bounder and others have been pushing America into the Fascist cesspool since the Rats took over Congress 2 years pre 0b0z0. 0b0z0 has accelerated this process in his close to years of tyranny.
