Marxist Obama: Then And Now
David Horowitz's NewsRealBlog ^ | February 13, 2010 | Liz Blaine

Posted on 02/13/2010 9:12:52 AM PST by callisto



Dr. John Drew, a political scientist at Occidental College, reports on young Barack Obama’s marxist perspective in the Fall of 1980.

“At the time he was already an ardent Marxist arguing a pretty straightforward vision of the future that saw a revolution led by lower classes to overthrow our capitalist system.”
Elaborating on Obama’s ideology,
“The idea was basically that wealthy people were exploiting others. That this was the secret of their wealth, that they weren’t paying others enough for their work, and they were using and taking advantage of other people. He was convinced that a revolution would take place, and it would be a good thing.”

Excellent post. We really need the Pajama Media to ramp it up on President Dithers' Marxist college roots. God knows the lamestreamers won't touch it.

In the meantime, I'm going to email this to a dozen people. I suggest others do the same.

” He fought hard for his Marxist revolutionary perspective , I’d be curious to know how much his ideas have changed .”
We have zero evidence that Zero has modified or abandoned his Marxist views, only that he’s attempted to disguise them.
The leader of the Democrat Party and CINC is a lifelong and committed Marxist.
Glenn Beck has been validated , as have all the rest of us .
I take no joy in the validation however , because of the dire ramifications for our country and it’s future .
And the Republicans want to work with this guy ....????!!!

and PLENTY of evidence that they are EXACTLY the same now as they were then

If O’blowhard spent some time working in the real world he might have figured out that his liberal professors were nothing but lying hypocrites. Instead of joining the real world he decided to spend the next 30 years with his lips firmly wrapped around the government penis. How could he have any idea how the private sector functions if he never had to take part in it?

John Drew exposed this before 11/08 and was only published in a few places. Anyone that wanted to understand BO’s ideology can go here:

The interview/video is a prime example of the MSM’s failure to expose Obama’s ideological history and agenda.

So in essence, we have someone as President who’s plan is to overthrow the Constitution and lead the people in a Marxist revolution?

Ok, so what do WE do about it?

The following interview blew me away!!! If you listen to the entire hour, you will learn about Mohammed Hasan Chandoo, Mr. O’s wealthy donor and very close friend, and Mr. O’s expensive tastes! On other reading today, I learned that during the pre-election debates, Mr. O claimed to have experience in foreign policy. How? He spent 3 weeks in Pakistan with his friend, Chandoo! Mr. Chandoo was recently seen at the White House at the Ramadan dinner.

You can say the same thing about Marx, who spent his life scribbling his crackpot theories while his own family starved.

Yep, he was really one to emulate alright. Two daughters and a son-in-law committed suicide, three children died of malnutrition. His daughter Laura married a Socialist, buried three of her children, then she and her husband committed suicide together. Another daughter, decided with her husband to do the same thing and she died but he backed out...

Some great family history there.

He wants a revolution huh? Does he realize that there are over 300 million Americans? Many of them heavily armed? It’s a revolution he will lose, but of course he would run and hide in some foreign country with all of our tax payer money he’s got stashed in offshore accounts.

I have this very strong feeling that Comrade Obama will not serve a full term as president. I think he will be removed - either by impeachment and Senate trial, or the by a Second American Revolution.

The man is clearly a traitor, and although he has had great success in hiding all important records about his life and true beliefs, at some point the mask will fall off.

Then the righteous rage of the American People against Obama will be an awesome thing to behold, and the Patriots will demand literally his blood.

I would not be surprised to see him tried for treason, after his removal from office and folow the fateful steps of Charles I of England to the gallows.

I
