Obama Affinity to Marxists Dates Back to College Days

FoxNews.com | Bill Sammon | Oct. 28, 2008

Obama’s affinity for Marxists began when he attended Occidental College in Los Angeles.

“To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully,” the Democratic presidential candidate wrote in his memoir, “Dreams From My Father.” “The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists.”

Obama’s interest in leftist politics continued after he transferred to Columbia University in New York. He lived on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, venturing to the East Village for what he called “the socialist conferences I sometimes attended at Cooper Union.” [Read more…]

Voter rolls stuffed with dead and absent registrants

This is how the leftist Democrats use communist tactics (voter fraud, ballot stuffing, etc.) to defeat the democratic process.
WLBT | Oct. 27, 2008

Mississippi’s voter situation is hard to believe. Places like Madison County have over 123% more registered voters than people over the age of 18.

Sue Sautermeister, First District Election Commissioner in Madison County, tried to purge the rolls, but ran into trouble when it was discovered it takes a vote of three of the five election commissioners and the purge cannot take place within 90 days of a federal election. [Read more…]

Obama: Redistribution of Wealth is Economic Justice

Reason | Oct. 27, 2008

Barack Obama during a radio interview in 2001 said some rather troubling things. He posited that the civil rights movement, while successfully establishing social rights for all, did not pursue “economic justice” and “redistributive change.” While said in the context of talking about the segregation movement, he was explicit in noting that the civil rights movement had not gone far enough in terms of providing equal rights for all. In his view racial integration was the first step towards equality in terms of providing racial equality, but true equality will only come with the economic equality of all, beyond the race issue.

We’ve already heard Obama tell Joe the Plumber that its better for everyone when you spread the wealth around, so this is not a radical bombshell, but it does reinforce an important point: when Obama becomes President, capitalists must be vigilant in the fight against socialist trends.

Democrats Contemplate Abolishing 401(k) Tax Breaks

Workforce Management | Oct. 16, 2008

Powerful House Democrats are eyeing proposals to overhaul the nation’s $3 trillion 401(k) system, including the elimination of most of the $80 billion in annual tax breaks that 401(k) investors receive.

House Education and Labor Committee Chairman George Miller, D-California, and Rep. Jim McDermott, D-Washington, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee’s Subcommittee on Income Security and Family Support, are looking at redirecting those tax breaks to a new system of guaranteed retirement accounts to which all workers would be obliged to contribute.

UK Announces Mandatory Sex Education for Kindergarteners

LifeNews.com | Kathleen Gilbert | Oct. 24, 2008

UK government officials announced yesterday that by the year 2010, 5-year-old children will enter the first stages of a comprehensive, explicit sex education program, mandatory for schools nationwide, including faith schools.

The compulsory Sex and Relationships Education (SRE) program will begin in kindergarten where Schools Minister Jim Knight says children will learn about “their differences, their friendships, and how to manage their feelings.” Knight insisted that the earliest curriculum will not be “sexually explicit,” saying “we are not talking about five-year olds having sex.” [Read more…]

Obamanomics

American Thinker | Amil Imani | Oct. 25, 2008

Obama’s economic plan is a recipe for long-lasting disaster. Keep in mind that wrecking anything, as opposed to building things, requires very little time and effort. Obama’s plan is deceptively attractive, while in reality it is a huge wrecking ball that will capsize the already listing ship of our economy. Here is a partial list of reasons why. Judge for yourself. [Read more…]

North Korea clamps down on phones to stop news of food crisis

Times Online | Richard Lloyd Parry | Oct. 24, 2008

North Korea is clamping down on mobile phones and long distance telephone calls to prevent the spread of news about a worsening food crisis, according to the United Nations investigator on human rights for the isolated communist country.

In a report to the UN General Assembly, Vitit Muntarbhorn, a Thai law professor who has never been allowed to visit North Korea, said that its government is using public executions as a means of intimidating the population, and using spies to infiltrate and expose religious communities.

Obamanomics Abhors the Free Market

DavidLimbaugh.com | David Limbaugh | Oct. 23, 2008

For Obama Kool-Aid guzzlers who believe Joe the Plumber was a premeditated Republican plant to trap Obama into admitting his communist inclinations (even though Obama approached Joe, not the other way around), I refer you to Obama’s history of similar utterances in favor of soaking the rich.

In June, Obama said he’d designed his tax and spending policies to deal, in part, with the challenge of our “winner-take-all” economy, where the gains from economic growth skew heavily toward the wealthy. “A strong government hand,” he said, “is needed to assure that wealth is distributed more equitably.” He said he’d seen “no evidence” that tax cuts, particularly on business, spurred growth, calling the idea “flawed economics.” He must be unfamiliar with the Kennedy, Reagan and George W. Bush years, pre-financial crisis. [Read more…]

Why The Left Always Resorts To Brute Force

Townhall.com | Kevin McCullough | Oct. 19, 2008

After Barack Obama got rhetorically bludgeoned this week with the consequences of his own words to a working class guy from Toledo, the nation got a peek into his soul. It was not pretty and it should serve as a preview of what we can expect from Barack Obama towards those who disagree with him. It has been unattractive, unbecoming of someone running for President, and certainly riddled with hypocrisy and double standard. [Read more…]
