President’s Message: Seeing Red
Nowadays, if you criticize President Barack Hussein Obama’s plans to reform healthcare, etc, you are suddenly a racist. And while I understand that the purpose of this is to stifle debate, it still irritates me beyond belief. Former President Carter (an embarrassment to the presidency and to the South) basically called the Americans at the town hall meetings racist. Oh, he has denied this, but I’ve listened to what he said several times and he can attempt to explain this away all he wants, but I know what I heard. The “drive by” media never passes up an opportunity to use the race card when they don’t like what is being said about Obama’s plans.
My problem with Obama has nothing to do with his race and everything to do with what he wants to do to this country. My mother used to tell me that you can tell a lot about a person by looking at the people he or she hangs out with or admires. So who are Obama’s friends and associates? Who does he admire? One of Obama’s role models is Saul Alinsky, author of Rules for Radicals, who believed that change “meant a Marxist revolution achieved by slow, incremental, Machiavellian means which turned society inside out. This has to be done through systematic deception, winning the trust of the naively idealistic middle class by using the language of morality to conceal an agenda designed to destroy it.” Another close friend, “the unrepentant domestic terrorist William Ayers, quoted the following poem in
his blog just two months before the election:
“The end of an empire is messy at best
And this empire is ending
Like all the rest
Like the Spanish Armada adrift on the sea
We’re adrift in the land of the brave
And the home of the free
Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye (1)
And since most Presidents generally surround themselves with people who support their views of governing, etc., one has only to look at the 28 or so czars appointed by Obama to see that this man has a revolutionary radical’s agenda. He wants “change” alright, but it’s not the kind of change that the American people will embrace – nationalized banks, government healthcare, government ownership of the auto industry, longer school terms to indoctrinate our children, reinstitution of the Fairness Doctrine – all of which would spell the death of dissenting opinions, as would redistribution of wealth and a domestic police force to control the populace. No, this is not what I want for my country. I truly do believe in what Dr. Martin Luther King said about “judging a man by the content of his character, not by the color of his skin.” And from where I stand, the content of Barack Hussein Obama’s character is looking bright Communist Red.
