Radicals to the left of us and Jokers to the right and here I am..
 I know .. I know… not quiet the lyrics.. but close enough for me.
I wanted to take a look at the Obama Administration. I am going to try to be as unbiased as possible. I am going to present the facts.. NOT opinion. As Joe Friday said it.. “Just the Facts”.
Here is the question.
Is Obama a Radical or promoting a Radical agenda?
First let’s explore Obama’s past..
1. Associations:
William (Bill) Ayers
(FACT) “Bill” Ayers was one of the founders of the Weather Underground, a radical leftist Organization formed in 1969. Weather Underground carried out violet actions against the government including bombings at NYPD headquarters, the U.S. Capitol building, the Pentagon and a San Francisco police station.
(FACT) William Ayers has never renounced his terrorist activities and in fact said in an interview he wished he had done more. Ayers summed up the organization's ideology as follows: "Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars and apartments. Bring the revolution home, Kill your parents." In a 2001 interview, Ayers expressed his enduring hatred for the United States. "What a country," he said. "It makes me want to puke."
(FACT)Bill Ayers became acquainted with Obama in 1995. Ayers hosted a meet the candidate (Obama) dinner at his (Ayers) home.
(FACT) In 1995 Ayers -- whose stated educational objective is to "teach against oppression" as embodied in "America's history of evil and racism, thereby forcing social transformation" -- founded a "school reform organization" called the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC). He appointed Obama as the group's first chairman.
(FACT) The CAC archives show that Obama and Ayers worked as a team to advance the foundation's agenda -- with Obama responsible for fiscal matters while Ayers focused on shaping educational policy. The archived documents further reveal that Ayers served as an ex-officio member of the board that Obama chaired through CAC's first year; that Ayers served with Obama on the CAC governance committee; and that Ayers worked with Obama to write CAC's bylaws.
(FACT) In 1999 Ayers joined the Woods Fund of Chicago, where he served as a director alongside Barack Obama until the latter left the Woods board in December 2002.
(FACT) Obama claimed Ayers was just "a guy who lives in my neighborhood," and doesn’t really know him.
Rev. Jeremiah Wright
(FACT) The Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Obama's pastor for at least 20 years at the Trinity United Church of Christ on Chicago's south side.
(FACT) Rev. Wright married Obama and his wife Michelle, baptized their two daughters and is credited by Obama for the title of his book, "The Audacity of Hope."
(FACT) An ABC News review of dozens of Rev. Wright's sermons, offered for sale by the church, found repeated denunciations of the U.S. based on what he described as his reading of the Gospels and the treatment of black Americans.
(FACT) I never heard him say some of the things that have people upset," Obama said
(FACT) Rev Wright..”The government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three-strike law and then wants us to sing 'God Bless America.' No, no, no, God damn America, that's in the Bible for killing innocent people," he said in a 2003 sermon. "God damn America for treating our citizens as less than human. God damn America for as long as she acts like she is God and she is supreme."
In addition to damning America, he told his congregation on the Sunday after Sept. 11, 2001, that the United States had brought on al Qaeda's attacks because of its own terrorism.
(FACT)Obama: "I have already condemned, in unequivocal terms, the statements of Reverend Wright that have caused such controversy. For some, nagging questions remain. Did I know him to be an occasionally fierce critic of American domestic and foreign policy? Of course. Did I ever hear him make remarks that could be considered controversial while I sat in church? Yes. Did I strongly disagree with many of his political views? Absolutely -- just as I'm sure many of you have heard remarks from your pastors, priests, or rabbis with which you strongly disagreed."
(FACT) Jeremiah Wright is an unreconstructed '60s radical, a fire-breathing disciple of James Cone's period-piece black liberation theology. Mr. Obama wrote in his 1995 autobiography, Dreams From My Father, about his attraction to the leftist pastor's church as a vehicle for social change. If Black Nationalism would uplift the race, he wrote, "then the hurt it might cause well-meaning whites, or the inner turmoil it caused people like me, would be of little consequence."
ACORN
(FACT) Obama has had an intimate and long-term association with the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (Acorn), the largest radical group in America
(FACT) On behalf of Acorn, Obama and a team of Chicago attorneys won a 1995 suit forcing the state of Illinois to implement the federal “motor-voter” bill.
(FACT) The Barack Obama Campaign,” by Toni Foulkes, a Chicago Acorn leader and a member of Acorn’s National Association Board. The odd thing about this article is that Foulkes is forced to protect the technically “non-partisan” status of Acorn’s get-out-the-vote campaigns, even as he does everything in his power to give Acorn credit for helping its favorite son win the critical 2004 primary that secured Obama the Democratic nomination to the U.S. Senate.
(FACT) According to the New York Times, Obama’s memberships on those foundation boards, “allowed him to help direct tens of millions of dollars in grants” to various liberal organizations, including Chicago Acorn, “whose endorsement Obama sought and won in his State Senate race.”
(FACT) ACORN’s Political Action Committee announced on Feb 21, 2008 that it has endorsed Sen. Barack Obama for President.
2. STATEMENTS
1. "We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America" Barrack Obama
2. “"Then he boarded Air Force One, blasted 'We Are The Champions' and shouted 'I'm King of the World'."
3. "We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."
4. “I'm not interested in the suburbs. The suburbs bore me. And I'm not interested in isolating myself. I feel good when I'm engaged in what I think are the core issues of the society, and those core issues to me are what's happening to poor folks in this society.” Barrack Obama
5. “Barack Obama will require you to work. He is going to demand that you shed your cynicism. That you put down your divisions. That you come out of your isolation, that you move out of your comfort zones. That you push yourselves to be better. And that you engage. Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual, uninvolved, uninformed.” Michelle Obama
6.” Obama said. Look at the people I surround myself with””Judge me on that”
Ok let’s do that..
(FACT) Obama’s Green Jobs Czar Van Jones–an admitted proud Communist, “rowdy black nationalist” and radical activist. Jones also worked on the board of a front environmental group established by one of the founders of the violent Weather Underground. Note: This is the same group that was also founded by ObamaFriend and fellow radical Socialist Bill Ayers.
“We're really entering a third wave of environmentalism in the United States.
The white polluters and the white environmentalists are essentially steering poison into the people of color communities.” Van Jones
(FACT) Obama’s Science Czar John Holdren–has advocated forced abortions and “compulsory sterilization”. Holdren has called for a “Planetary Regime” to control human population and its usage of earth resources. He has stated his belief that “to provide a high quality of life for all, there must be fewer people.” He supports forced abortion as a means of population control. He also feels it is acceptable to abort a child as old as 2 years . He states that a child is not really a person until they are aware of tomorrow.
(FACT) FCC Diversity Czar Mark Lloyd–hired by Obama to shut down conservative talk radio. Radio stations with successful conservative talk radio hosts will be forced, under the ObamaFCC, to carry liberal programming (despite little-to-no listenership–does anyone remember the ill-fated leftist Air America?) or pay prohibitive fines. Lloyd also has strong ties to radical leftists and anti-Americans George Soros and John Podesta.
What he lays out is a battle plan to use the FCC to threaten stations' licenses with whom they do not agree with politically, and now he's at the FCC waiting to take their calls," Motley told FOXNews.com. "This is not about serving the local interest, it's about political opposition."
"It should be clear by now that my focus here is not freedom of speech or the press.... This freedom is all too often an exaggeration.... At the very least, blind references to freedom of speech or the press serve as a distraction from the critical examination of other communications policies." Mark Lloyd
(FACT) Obama’s Health Czar-Nancy-Ann DeParle–pro-partial birth abortion. For those of you not familiar with the term, that means the child–not the “fetus”–is viable for birth and survival. After the body is outside of the womb (sometimes only the baby’s head), the “doctor” provides an intrauterine cranial decompression of the baby. A catheter is inserted into the baby’s skull and the contents of the brain are “sucked out”–thus, collapsing the child’s skull. Under Clinton, DeParle also promoted abortion and the rationing of lifesaving medical treatment.
(FACT) Cass Sunstein, Regulatory Czar
Cass Sunstein, a Harvard Law professor who has been appointed to a shadowy post that will grant him powers that are merely mind-boggling, explicitly supports using the courts to impose a "chilling effect" on speech that might hurt someone's feelings.
"We hardly need to imagine a world, however, in which people and institutions are being harmed by the rapid spread of damaging falsehoods via the Internet," he writes. "We live in that world. What might be done to reduce the harm?" Cass Sunstein
(FACT) Carol Browner, global warming "czar" — was part of Socialist International, a group for "global governance"
(FACT) Ezekiel Emmanuel, health care adviser — proponent of the Complete Lives System, which puts values on lives based mostly by age
Apollo Alliance
.(FACT) The Apollo Alliance is designed to bring together the elements of organized labor with the community organizers with the green groups, the environmental groups, and to access all of the big foundation money that's been supportive of those causes in the past.
(FACT) Van Jones, the self-described communist who is now green jobs 'czar,' he described the Apollo Alliance mission as sort of a grand unified field theory for progressive left causes; it ties all these things together.
(FACT) The Apollo Alliance put out a draft stimulus bill last year in 2008. It included almost everything that ended up being in the final stimulus bill. Harry Reid has thanked them for helping design the final stimulus package that was enacted into law. And they brag on their Web site that they helped design this thing and push it through.
(FACT) The Apollo Alliance has a long list of endorsers, including Green for All, the organization founded by “Green Jobs Czar” Van Jones; Change to Win, an ACORN entity; ACORN itself; SEIU (son of ACORN); the Ella Baker Center, another Van Jones entity; and the Working Families Party (need we say ACORN?).
Movement for a Democratic Society
Their Pledge: To: All Friends Of Peace And Progress
Preamble.
The Bush regime lied knowingly, openly and repeatedly in order to
justify waging aggressive war against Iraq and its subsequent occupation.
Hence, its current propaganda campaign attempting to demonize and justify
war with Iran has no credibility and is a source of great concern.
Past US governments are guilty of a long series of assaults on Iran.
In 1954, the democratically elected government of Iran was overthrown by a
CIA sponsored coup, introducing 26 years of brutal dictatorship under the
Shah - and lucrative concessions for American oil companies. From 1980 to
1988, the US government financed Saddam Hussein's Iraqi aggression against
Iran, resulting in a million Iranian casualties and costing them $350
billion. Today, having invaded and occupied its neighbors, the US
government has a quarter million combat soldiers and mercenaries stationed
on both Iran's eastern and western borders and three aircraft carrier led
naval battle groups lurking off Iran's coast. Daily the Bush regime
regales the public with accusations against Iranian leadership and sponsors
sanctions against them while refusing to talk to them. Reports of current
US military incursions into Iran and attempts to destabilize Iranian
society are consistent with past US government activities.
Oblivious to domestic and world opinion and to international law, the
war criminal Bush regime conspires to instigate a pretext to attack Iran
again. It is their clear intent. We have seen this before.
Pledge.
We, the undersigned, will not further acquiesce to military aggression
against other nations by the Bush regime. In the event of an attack by US
military forces against the nation of Iran, we pledge to oppose that
aggression by our active participation in a campaign of mass non-violent
resistance, including civil disobedience, with the express intent of
impeding further aggression.
It is a colossal mistake to surrender to right wing reactionary conservative threats and intimidation for a number of reasons. Right wing reactionary conservative crowds of vigilantes coming armed to town hall meetings intent on breaking up the proceedings is what fascism looks like, it is what fascism is.(MDS on Townhall protesters)
The 2008 elections were a progressive mandate. Democrats hold the white house and majorities in the house and the senate. This progressive majority is not eternal and may not last. If we can’t get progressive healthcare legislation now then we never will.(MDS on Healthcare)
Progressives, Radicals, Black Nationalist, Communist and Marxist all documented as being in the inner circle of the President of the United Sates Barack Obama. Advising him.. helping write the bills like the Stimulus and Healthcare bill.
There is a very old and very WISE saying.. “Birds of a feather flock together”.
Is Barrack Husain Obama the President of the United States, a Radical and/or promoting a Radical agenda?
Why has the Democrat Party allowed the hard left Radicals to hijack their party?
Sorry for the extremely long post, but we need to explore the relationship between these groups and people that are advising the President of the United States.
