Resisting Obama

I haven’t listened to Medved in quite awhile, and his post-election column confirms that I’ll be doing myself a favor by continuing to ignore him. He assumes the conciliatory and diplomatic postures held by far too many these past two weeks and I have had my fill of it.

One of the reasons the GOP suffered major reverses across the country involved the perception that they practiced more divisive and angry politics than did the Obama-crats, with his fuzzy, feel-good message of hope and change. By a wide margin, poll respondents identified McCain more than Obama as a candidate who spent most of his time attacking rather than offering a positive vision.

“…they practiced more divisive and angry politics”? Really? Damn, I always miss the good stuff. All I heard was McCain chiding his supporters for speaking “The One’s” sacred middle name and advising us that an Obama presidency is not to be feared. Like CAIR and Islamists, the Obamanites and appeasers evade responding to documented facts by condemning them as punitive, calumnious and divisive.

It reminds me of the mentality of those progressive “educators” who deride competition as hurtful. Everyone has to pretend that there are no superior players, that everyone is a winner. If an election between opposing parties fails to reveal the divisions wrought by conflicting ideas, what the hell is the point? Is that how we end up with an American Idol presidency?

Perhaps that is why I am feeling so lethargic of late – thus my absence here – the world has taken on this nebulous, twilight quality. On November 3rd, Obama’s lengthy list of radical affiliations, his documented socialist roots – starting with his communist mother and continuing via one mentor after another throughout his youth – all of this is no longer of any consequence after Nov 5th?
Inaugural Day will not sprinkle fairy dust on Obama. He will not walk through that White House portal and emerge a man miraculously transformed into an America-loving patriot of principle. He will still be Barack Hussein Obama.

Someone commented recently that I harbored harsh opinions about Obama. I responded, more or less, like this:
Primarily it is a position that has developed since 2001, not in response to Obama’s emergence on the scene, but in growing understanding of what the ‘isms of the left are, how they compliment many of islam’s tenets and how the convergence of both, parasitically using each other, could succeed in shrouding this country under a totalitarianism quite like what is slowly suffocating Europe and is now hunkering down over Canada. I have feared this chimera for a long time. Obama simply puts a face on it. For Obama, the collectivism and disdain for individualism inherent in Islam does not feel unfamiliar or uncomfortable as it is also characteristic of the Marxism he subscribes to.

Most of those who have been writing in the anti-jihad vein recognize the ideological affinity that both totalitarian systems enjoy between them. Long ago we realized that the most potent ally Islam has in any nation, is the left. And now we have Obama in office.

Now, all of his philosophical and political kinfolk who have spent the last year camped under the Obama bus are shaking the dust off and rising up to embrace and celebrate their old friend. Louis Farrakhan of the Nation of Islam being one.

…even as he talked about the undercurrents of racial tensions, Farrakhan could barely suppress his joy at Obama’s victory and its significance for the black community.

On Sunday, Farrakhan said he had deliberately held his peace after he saw how some positive comments he made about Obama during the Democratic primaries made trouble for the aspiring presidential candidate. (Source)

“Reverend” Jeremiah Wright is another. And then you have “respected professor” Bill Ayers rising up from the sixties dead like another resuscitated rock star trying to find the juice for one more freaking tour. When will the damn hippies finally freaking lay down and die? What a damn spectacle. But I digress…

Within the circle of men and women that we see gathering around Obama, we can observe the convergence of three virulent strains of oppressive ideologies. The Alinsky trained Obama and Hillary – and most of his cabinet it would seem – preaching the social justice, progressive, Marxist catechism ( all prettied up and dumbed down for the obama electorate), the “Reverend” Jeremiah Wright – black separatist, steeped in liberation theology, and the maniacal bigot Louis Farrakhan – brandishing his black american version of Islam.

Those are some of the reasons that you won’t see me swilling kumbaya Kool-Aid with an outstretched hand waving a white flag. Those that now are populating the Obama administration are a breed of Americans spawned by a malignant culture of narcissism and nihilism. With Obama they now find themselves in power. While most of us in this country, myself included, have been drunk with the surfeit of America’s freedoms and bounty,we have been steadily compromised. Infested. Breached.

And through that breach, sweeping in on Obama’s coat tail, comes multiculturalism at is most legalistic and septic. If you have been as disgusted as I at Bush’s dangerously naive PC obsequiousness to Islam and his hug-an-illegal pandering, be prepared for PC’ism at it’s most egregious.

They’re back, the multiculturalists that is.

For years they’ve been encamped in our universities, and now even our high schools. But with the election of Barack Obama, they’re riding high. We’ll be hearing a great deal about “reaching out” to other cultures and nations, as the age of Obama dawns. Maybe it’s time to ask some serious questions about this term, multiculturalism.(Source)

American Thinker calls it cultural Marxism.

Both communism and the New Left are alive and thriving here in America. They favor code words: tolerance, social justice, economic justice, peace, reproductive rights, sex education and safe sex, safe schools, inclusion, diversity, and sensitivity. All together, this is Cultural Marxism disguised as multiculturalism.

This is what I fight, have been fighting, long before there was a “black” president-elect in the picture. That is why the charge of racism brought against those of us who stand against Obama is tedious, sophomoric, and disingenuous. If only it were that bloody simple. But I assure you, the charges will not stop. Identity politics have served the multi-culturalists and “social justice” minions well and they have no intention of retiring the tactic. The race card is accepted currency in the coming White House. As a result, warnings about political islam and sharia law will be castigated as racist. Pleas and demands to protect our borders, sovereignty and uphold our constitution will be reviled as anachronistic and neanderthal. The sanctity of the individual will be drowned by a incestuous and suffocating collectivism.

The linchpin of Cultural Marxism is cultural determinism, the parent of identity politics and group solidarity. In its turn, cultural determinism was birthed by the Darwinian idea that man is but a soulless animal and therefore his identity is determined by for example, his skin color or his sexual and/or erotic preferences. This proposition rejects the concepts of the human spirit, individuality, free will, and morally informed conscience (paired with personal accountability and responsibility) because it emphatically denies the existence of the God of the Bible.

Consequently, and by extension, it also rejects the first principles of our liberty enumerated in the Declaration of Independence. These are our “unalienable rights, among which are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” Cultural Marxism must reject these because these principles of liberty “are endowed by our Creator,” who made man in His image.

The antidote is courage and the light of truth. If we are to win this cultural war and reclaim and rebuild America so our children and their children’s children can live in a ‘Shining City on the Hill’ where liberty, families, opportunity, free markets, and decency flourish, we must muster the courage to fearlessly expose the communist Left’s revolutionary agenda to the Light of Truth. Truth and the courage to speak it will set us free.

The courage to speak the truth… . It is what conservatives best have in abundance if we want more than a snowball’s chance in hell to hold our own, let alone take back some ground. And most of the time, that is gonna sound pretty damn harsh.
