			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- sphereit start --><p>Below are three excellent reports on Barack Obama. If these do not convince you that this man spells doom for America and our way of life, well, then you do not have the same vision of America that half the country has.</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 250px"><img title="Obammunism" src="http://roadsassy.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/Obammunism.jpg" alt="" width="240" height="226" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Obammunism</p></div>
<p>An incredible amount of work went into the pieces that I link to below and I thank those bloggers heartily. The first link probes into the destruction of the Democrat Party,a destruction wrought by the very same forces that molded a man named Barack Obama. The next two links lay out, case by case, the documentation of Obama&#8217;s radical ties and indoctrination, his siren calls for entitlement, his lackluster performance in the office that he now holds. None of it lies, all easily researched for verification. Stuff the media would have been salivating  over had such a mountain of damning evidence been found on the Republican side. It is work that ought to be  meat for hungry journalists everywhere. But as <a href="http://www.ornery.org/essays/warwatch/2008-10-05-1.html">Orson Scott Card recently noted</a>,  journalists ain&#8217;t what they used to be.</p>
<p>Please take the time to read these comprehensive accounts that describe the poisoning of America&#8217;s political waters and the &#8220;Progressive&#8221; pied piper, Barack Obama, who will make sure Americans swallow that poison , or else&#8230;.</p>
<p>And it is the &#8220;or else&#8221; contained in all of his implied <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">threats</span> promises for &#8220;change&#8221; that we need to begin worrying about . Click on the titles to go to the complete posts.</p>
<h3><a href="http://logisticsmonster.com/2008/10/19/obamas-american-socialism-decades-in-the-making">Obama’s American Socialism: Decades In The Making</a></h3>
<blockquote><p>As a preface to this series of articles, major kudos need to be awarded to Ms Placed Democrat, Matthew Weaver, Shtuey, Eastan McNeil, Steve Diamond, Christmas Ghost, RabbleRouser Rev. Amy, and especially John W. for all the research that has gone into these separate pieces of the puzzle.  Please visit their sites and thank them for the hours they toiled increasing everyone’s knowledge of the Obamanation.</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 330px"><img title="Obammunista" src="http://roadsassy.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/MichelleObama_communist.jpg" alt="" width="320" height="211" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Obammunista</p></div>
<p>Without the amazing tenacity of these individuals, (and a few unnamed), connecting the dots of the socialist agenda for the “New Democratic Party” would not have been accomplished.  I have tried to organize the articles in the series based on the timeline I have been able to put together according to all the research that has been provided. I am sure there are gaps and possible inconsistencies that will be pointed out by my astute readers, as we are all trying to piece this puzzle together from the smoke and mirrors that Barack Obama has created to hide his true past and real agenda.  We were all very fortunate when he spoke recently with Joe (the plumber) and showed America what we have been coming to learn about him for months.</p>
<p>Also, please be advised that the investigation that I have undertaken will take many democrats to places they would rather not go; be prepared.</p></blockquote>
<h3><a href="http://hotair.com/archives/2008/10/21/the-comprehensive-argument-against-barack-obama">CLOSING THE DEAL<br />
A Roadmap for Campaign 2008’s Homestretch</a></h3>
<blockquote><p>Allow us to put our cards on the table at the outset: We are two young conservative journalists—both in our 20s. Unlike many of our peers, we are not swept up in Obamamania and would prefer John McCain to win the election. We’ve teamed up with seasoned blogger extraordinaire, Ed Morrissey, whose careful and thoughtful pursuit of the truth—even when it benefits his political opponents—is respected across the blogosphere. In that spirit, we are not at all interested in perpetuating lies, rumors, and innuendo about Barack Obama. Promoting such information does America a disservice, allows Obama’s supporters to justifiably cry “smear,” and damages our own credibility.</p>
<p>What follows is by no means comprehensive, but it does shed some much-needed light on a number of Obama’s positions, statements, and associations about which he has been less than honest. We’ve attempted to boil each issue down to a succinct explanation with an accompanying, brief video clip—often starring Barack Obama in his own words. Before pulling the lever for someone who hopes voters will ignore his paper-thin resume, unsavory associations, and hard-left voting record, each citizen has a duty to do his due diligence.</p>
<p>In short, we hope this “closing argument” is compelling and clear, and we encourage you to share this essay with undecided or wavering family members, friends, and co-workers.</p>

<div class="blogPost">• We believe that Barack Obama is a brilliant orator and a man possessed of more charisma than any politician since JFK. • But we also believe that his philosophy of &#8220;<a href="http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2008/10/021782.php">spreading the wealth around</a>&#8221; is an ill-disguised form of socialism that undermines everything America holds dear.</p>
<p>• We believe that a &#8220;tax cut on 95% of working Americans&#8221; when only <a href="http://directorblue.blogspot.com/2008/10/tax-cut-for-95-of-people-when-only-60.html">63% of Americans pay taxes</a> is nonsensical.</p>
<p>• We believe that the Obama <a href="http://www.nypost.com/seven/10112008/postopinion/editorials/bams_vote_fraud_buddies_133144.htm">campaign&#8217;s obfuscated funding for ACORN</a> (originally described as &#8220;event planning&#8221;) undermines the integrity of our elections and calls into question the legality of his tactics.</p>
<p>• We believe that Barack Obama&#8217;s plan to form a <a href="http://directorblue.blogspot.com/2008/10/obama-plans-paramilitary-force-for.html">&#8220;civilian national security force that&#8217;s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded” as our military</a> is ill-considered at best.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- sphereit start --><p><a href="http://roadsassy.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/clinton-obama.jpg"><img src="http://roadsassy.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/clinton-obama-thumb.jpg" style="border: 0px none ; margin: 0px 5px 0px 0px" alt="clinton_obama" align="left" border="0" height="266" width="230" /></a></p>
<p>I never signed up for a course in the <em>&#8220;-isms</em>&#8220;; Marxism, Socialism and Communism &#8211; but researching the ideological underpinnings of the two progressive contenders for the presidency is teaching me more than I ever wanted to know.</p>
<p>I will frankly say that I will not vote for any black presidential  candidate who chooses to designate himself as an African-American (as opposed to an  American). In my mind that hyphen  has come to symbolize race card politics, signaling an agenda of  divisive grievances, not national unity.</p>
<p>And quite frankly, I could never bring myself to vote for a woman. Do with that what you will, but there was only one Margaret Thatcher and Hillary is her anti-thesis. But Hillary  feeds at the same socialist trough as Obama, devouring the same multicultural, kumbaya swill.</p>
<p>With either candidate, it&#8217;s always about race, or class warfare, or gender issues, but never about celebrating America and it certainly is never about  promoting &#8211; dare I say it &#8211; American exceptionalism.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>The trinity of American exceptionalism could be described as (1) dynamism (support for equality of individual opportunity, entrepreneurship, and economic progress); (2) religiosity (emphasis on character development, mores, and voluntary cultural associations) that works to contain the excessive individual egoism that dynamism sometimes fosters; and (3) patriotism (love of country, self-government, and support for constitutional limits).(link)</em></p></blockquote>
<p>I always find it amusing that the admonitions to respect  the traditions of <strong><em>all</em></strong> cultures that are preached from the pulpits of multiculturalism have failed to make an impression on the very &#8220;cultures&#8221;  that seek protection behind the PC mantle. But then, multiculturalism is a weapon aimed directly at the idea of &#8220;American exceptionalism&#8221;, as well as at whites, Euros, Anglos and other various &#8220;oppressor groups&#8221;. You may denigrate <em>those</em> cultures at will.</p>
<p>Obama and Hillary are  steeped in the rhetoric of white supremacy, sexism and oppression, as are the academic elites who have poisoned American education.</p>
<p><a href="http://roadsassy.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/commies.png"><img src="http://roadsassy.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/commies-thumb.png" style="border: 0px none ; margin: 0px 0px 0px 5px" alt="Commies" align="right" border="0" height="266" width="233" /></a></p>
<blockquote><p><em>Kors states that at an academic conference sponsored by the University of Nebraska, the attendees articulated the view that <strong>&#8220;White students desperately need formal ‘training’ in racial and cultural awareness. The moral goal of such training should override white notions of privacy and individualism</strong>.&#8221;</em> One of the leading &#8220;diversity experts&#8221; providing scores of &#8220;training programs&#8221; in universities, corporations, and government bureaucracies is Hugh Vasquez of the Todos Institute of Oakland, California. <em>Vasquez’s study guide for a Ford Foundation-funded diversity film<strong>, </strong></em><strong><em><em>Skin</em></em> <em><em>Deep</em></em></strong><em><strong>, explains the meaning of &#8220;white privilege&#8221; and &#8220;internalized oppression&#8221; for the trainees</strong>.</em></p>
<p>from&#8230;<a href="http://www.hoover.org/publications/policyreview/3484376.html"><strong>Why There is a Culture War</strong></a></p></blockquote>
<p>Might I suggest that the generations of blacks who have been indoctrinated to believe that they are oppressed get some training as well. If they want to claim that racism is institutionalized by whites, than I would have to say that entitlement and victim hood is institutionalized among <em>all</em> so-called minorities who jump on the grievance train.</p>
<p><strong><em>From</em> </strong><a href="http://tinyurl.com/365au5"><strong>Shelby Steele&#8217;s &#8216;A Dream Deferred&#8221;</strong></a></p>
<blockquote><p>I believe this acceptance of victimization is a totalism caused by the downfall of post-sixties liberalism. This is where liberalism lost it&#8217;s balance and ultimately its integrity. Many observers who lived through the sixties realize that it was the old American problem of race that did liberalism in. To accept victimization not as one of many variables but as a totalism was to see it as structural &#8211; so built into the patterns of society that that it could be manifested apart from human will. And if the evil was structural. only structural remedies would work against it. You couldn&#8217;t fight racial victimization on a case-by-case basis; you had to put into place structures that would prefer the victim in compensation for the victimization we could <em>presume</em> he or she endured. Thus liberalism becomes preemptive rather than defensive. It no longer protected individuals and fought for equal opportunity but it pursued group rights and equal results. It remedied the victimization before it was manifest. This transformation came from the embrace of victimization as a totalistic explanation of black difficulty. But it changed the basic terms of American liberalism from freedom, rights, and responsibilities to planning, engineering and entitlements.</p></blockquote>
<p>I absolutely do not buy that  minorities in this country suffer under systematic oppression. Instances of prejudice and incivility, yeah, I am sure that there are incidents galore. It&#8217;s called human nature and the only fools who think that they will be able to extirpate prejudice completely from the human psyche are , well &#8211;  fools like Obama and Hillary &#8211; magical thinking elitists who presume to know just the right alchemy necessary  to recreate the human soul.</p>
<p><a href="http://roadsassy.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/hillary-needs.gif"><img src="http://roadsassy.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/hillary-needs-thumb.gif" style="border: 0px none ; margin: 0px 5px 0px 0px" alt="hillary_needs" align="left" border="0" height="203" width="260" /></a></p>
<p>One such social engineer is a far left radical Saul Alinsky, often mentioned in both <a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/Articles/bobamasunlikelypoliticaledu.html" title="Barack Obama's unlikely political education">Obama&#8217;s</a> and <a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/Articles/Hillarys%20Thesis%20The%20Village%20Needs.html">Hillary&#8217;s</a> accounts of influential political mentors.</p>
<p><em><strong>Diane Alden</strong></em>  on Saul Alinsky&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>Alinsky asserted that he was more concerned with the acquisition of power than anything else: &#8220;My aim here is to suggest how to organize for power: how to get it and how to use it.&#8221; This is not to be done with assistance to the poor, nor even by organizing the poor to demand assistance: &#8220;[E]ven if all the low-income parts of our population were organized &#8230; it would not be powerful enough to get significant, basic, needed changes.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Alinsky advises his followers that the poor have no power and that the real target is the middle class: &#8220;Organization for action will now and in the decade ahead center upon America&#8217;s white middle class. That is where the power is. &#8230; Our rebels have contemptuously rejected the values and the way of life of the middle class. They have stigmatized it as materialistic, decadent, bourgeois, degenerate, imperialistic, war-mongering, brutalized and corrupt. They are right; but we must begin from where we are if we are to build power for change, and the power and the people are in the middle class majority.&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>But that didn&#8217;t stop Alinsky and his followers from using the middle class for their own purposes. <strong>They counted on the guilt and shame of the white middle class to get what they wanted. In order to take over institutions and get power, the middle class had to be convinced that they were somehow lucky winners in &#8220;life&#8217;s lottery.&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>Alinsky&#8217;s radicals found a perfect vehicle for their destruction of the American system and more particularly for taking and maintaining power. That instrument was the Democratic Party.</p></blockquote>
