Barack Obama gave the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Dolores Huerta, an honorary chair of the Democratic Socialists of America. During the ceremony today President Obama admitted he stole her slogan “Yes we can!” for his 2008 campaign. (Video at link)

---snip---

...Dolores Huerta, an 82-year-old labor activist and co-founder of the United Farm Workers union.

Huerta is also an honorary chair of the Democratic Socialists of America.

DSA describes itself as “the largest socialist organization in the United States, and the principal U.S. affiliate of the Socialist International.”

Huerta has claimed, “Republicans hate Latinos,” and has spoken fondly of Hugo Chavez’s despotic regime in Venezuela.

The Medal of Freedom is awarded to individuals who have made “especially meritorious contributions to the security or national interests of the United States, to world peace, or to cultural or other significant public or private endeavors.

And on a personal note, Dolores was very gracious when I told her I had stolen her slogan, “Si, se puede.” Yes, we can. (Laughter.) Knowing her, I’m pleased that she let me off easy — (laughter) — because Dolores does not play. (Laughter.)

I'm sure the squishes in the GOP will continue to state that Obama isn't a socialist.

[wjcsux]

I say WTF every day. And I thought Clintoon was bad!

I'm sure the squishes in the GOP will continue to state that Obama isn't a socialist.

If there is anyone in the GOP elite, or any journalist for that matter, who doesn't think Obama is a hard core socialist, then they need to start doing some real research. The data is all there. Many books have been written, many articles, websites, papers.

Maybe they could start by reading Trevor Loudon's excellent book, "Barack Obama and the Enemies Within."

The book description: " A history about those who advise, mentor, and operate behind the throne of the 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama. From early childhood to the present day the President chose to keep his personal life a secret. Those who surround him fall into a wide category of radicals, marxists, communists, and Americans who have joined together in a coordinated effort to overthrow capitalism and the Republic of the United States of America."

Wake up GOP! Wake up America!

As am I, M. As am I.

Is there anyone here who still isn't clear on what we have to do in November?

Is there anyone here who still isn't clear on what we have to do in November?

I think more and more the GOP should woo women voters with the following:

"Do you want your children and grandchildren to grow up in a socialist/communist system with all that that means?" Most, if not all women with children would say, "Hell No!"

Bigger Government equals Less Freedom for my Children!

[Art in Idaho]

What an absolute disgrace. The Presidential Medal of Freedom, (from the article), states:

The Medal of Freedom is awarded to individuals who have made “especially meritorious contributions to the security or national interests of the United States, to world peace, or to cultural or other significant public or private endeavors."

So Obama gives the Medal of Freedom to a communist. How's that for saying FU America!

[Obama_Is_Sabotaging_America]

Uh.. Find a way to get through to these brain dead zombies who only know the Obama which his news media tells them he is?:

By the way, WHERE IS CONGRESS ON THIS, YET ANOTHER ACT OF TREASON? Awarding enemies of the State makes him an enemy of the State.

[Squantos]

Why didn't he give Hitler one posthumously ?

"The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism, but under the name of liberalism they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program until one day America will be a socialist nation without ever knowing how it happened."
--------------Norman Thomas, 1936 presidential candidate on the Socialist ticket

[piasa]

Obama just gave the worthless medal to the nut who said this :

...speech given ...by Hillary Clinton campaign co-chair Dolores Huerta, who railed, "We didn't cross the border, the border crossed us" and gloated that immigration enforcement is moot because the reconquista is won. "It's really too late," Huerta said. "If 47 million [Latinos] have one baby each . . . it's already won."

[Caipirabob]

Huerta has claimed, “Republicans hate Latinos,” and has spoken fondly of Hugo Chavez’s despotic regime in Venezuela.

Oh lol...

My moreno kids are being raised to recognize socialists as the children of Hitler, Marx and Stalin that they are.

These sad hate filled monsters will be severely disappointed when Latinos don't fall for their pathetic filth hook, line and sinker.

We have an issue with folks who don't acclimate to our culture of freedom, and some ethnic groups are far more prone that others, but the fact is there is a strong group of conservative Latinos who do embrace the culture and are as American as anyone else.

It's the open borders/no borders crowd trying to import a culture that's contrary to American values that's the real issue. They want to displace by numbers with a "dependent class" of people the American culture of freedom. These people should be shunned and despised along with their facilitators, and rightfully so.

[Miss Behave]

Bump bump BUMP, Art!

[Miss Behave]

Sadly, there are women even here who would lead their children further TOWARD Marxism's cattlecars...by refusing to REJECT OBAMA in November.

U-2012>We are now giving Presidential Medal of FREEDOM to Communists !

"we" includes you and me...HE gives the medal not we

Unless you are an illegal alien,
he represents all Americans.

[Art in Idaho]

From Beck: "So you have some idea of who has received this in the past, it has been Billy Graham, Pope John Paul, Gordon B. Hinckley, Mother Teresa, Neal Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, Jackie Robinson, Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King, Friedrich Hyack, Bill Cosby, Ansel Adams, Frank Sinatra, B.B. King, John Wayne, Walt Disney, Charlton Heston, Bob Hope, Jimmy Stewart, Norman Rockwell, and now, Dolores Huerta – the honoree chair of the Democratic Socialists of America."

[terycarl]

Unless you are an illegal alien, he represents all Americans

He, as president does represent all Americans, but his views, actions, and opinions do not. Many opinions of any president are met with 50-50 acceptance and everyone knows that. Not everyone agreed with Bush (I did) and not everyone agrees with Obama (I don't). But, while he can give that medal to a socialist/communist in the name of the United States, every citizen does not have to participate in the congratulatory ceremony.

Why he picks out people like Van Jones, Saul Alinsky, Bernadine Dohrn, Rev. Wright and his so called czars is beyond me. He has us going down a path toward socialism/communism that the upcoming election will either end or exacerbate. What we need less of is the entitlement society that I believe we are headed for. As far as I'm concerned, if you don't earn it, it isn' yours. We can give to those who CANNOT gain on their own, but to those too damned lazy to get off their butts and work....nothing.

It is very plain to anyone familiar with the WORD of G-d.(Matt 24:6-13)

We are rapidly approaching Daniel's Seventieth Week.(Dan 9:27)

Some have suggested that 0bama is the rider on the White Horse.(Rev 6:2)

first of all, try not to spout irrevelant bible passages that I have to look up to respond.Daniel 9:27...zilch meaning, rev 6:2 oh please...rev 6:12 ditto...Matt 24:13 possibilities. He that shall persevere to the end shall be saved. That means you have to persevers FROM THE BEGINNING to the end. Now compare whatever "denomination" you follow to the true church of Jesus Christ. Catholics follow and persevere from the BEGINNING to the end. If you start out somewhere in the 16th century, chances are that you aren't too good at perseverance. shalom b'SHEM Yah'shua HaMashiach
