“If buttercups buzz’d after the bee,
If boats were on land, churches on sea,
If ponies rode men and if grass ate the cows,
And cats should be chased into holes by the mouse….
If summer were spring and the other way round,
Then all the world would be upside down.”
–“The World Turned Upside Down,” English ballad, 1643
I think I’ve made a breakthrough in understanding President Barack Obama’s foreign policy of punishing friends, rewarding enemies, and taking risks toward empowering enemies by bashing friends. It isn’t that Obama is a Muslim or a Marxist; it’s that … he is America’s first (and hopefully last) 1960s New Left president.
Think of how the American left looked at the Cold War. For them, the phrase “Free World” was a joke. America’s allies were often repressive dictators. In Europe, even democratic states like Britain and France were, or until recently were, colonial powers.
Vietnam: America supported South Vietnam (boo) and fought North Vietnam and the National Liberation Front (LBJ, how many kids have you killed today; Ho Chi Minh, the NLF is gonna win).
Latin America: In Chile, America supported the army (boo!) and fought President Salvador Allende and the Communists (yeah!). Not to mention those military dictatorships who murdered peasants in South America and killed Che Guevara. And how about those Sandinistas. They wanted land reform and to help the poor and the United States plundered them for United Fruit and other greedy capitalists.
Great Britain: America supported Britain and thought Winston Churchill was a hero, but what about colonialism (get his bust out of the White House!)? Say, in a country like Kenya? Mau-Maus (possibly Obama’s grandfather) who were called “terrorists,” good guys; British, bad guys.
Middle East: America supported the bad guys (Israel, Jordan, Saudi Arabia) against the good guys (PLO, Egypt, Syria, Iraq).
The Communists: They had their shortcomings but at least they wanted to help people, right? And if the USSR was old-fashioned and degenerate, at least there were a lot of cool new revolutionaries.
Africa: Obama’s own father opposed a generally U.S.-backed Kenyan regime. In theory, he was a leftist and a man of the people. In reality, he was a womanizing, alcoholic, and corrupt politician, just the kind of “progressive” Third World politician who pretends to represent the voice of the masses.
And so on.
So the leftist view has been that American allies were bad guys. And since America was also the bad guy, American allies were doubly bad guys.
In contrast, those opposing U.S. policy or allies — notably, Latin American guerrillas; Fidel Castro; the Viet Cong (or National Liberation Front if you wish); Mao Zedong; Che Guevara (remember that Che Guevara poster in the Obama election headquarters in Arizona, was it?); Patrice Lumumba; and so on and so forth were heroes.
Pakistan has it both ways. On one hand, it is an American “ally,” but since it just takes money, hides al-Qaeda leaders, and sponsors cross-border terrorism against India, it is enough of an enemy to receive favored treatment.
So the bad guys to America were the good guys and the good guys to America were the bad guys.
I’m putting this in slangy language, but I’m very serious.
And for someone raised personally and politically the way Obama was (hat tip to Stanley Kurtz and Dinesh D’Souza) this was taken for granted.
Thus, be it England or Egypt or Israel or Colombia, if you are partnered with the United States it proves you are bad. And for Venezuela, Syria, or the Palestinian Authority, the more hostile you are to America the better you are.
Hence, the business of American policy should be to win over the heroic guerrillas who fight on behalf of the wretched of the earth (reference: Che Guevara, Frantz Fanon, the Communist “Internationale”). These are the people who — as they say in Hollywood — we’d like to be in business with.
Consider Obama’s profound disrespect for realpolitik as evidenced in his State Department speech:
“For decades, the United States has pursued a set of core interests in the region: countering terrorism and stopping the spread of nuclear weapons; securing the free flow of commerce and safe-guarding the security of the region; standing up for Israel’s security and pursuing Arab-Israeli peace.”
He says that the United States will continue to do these things. But listen to the subtle differences in that list:
“We will continue to do these things, with the firm belief that America’s interests are not hostile to people’s hopes; they’re essential to them. We believe that no one benefits from a nuclear arms race in the region, or al Qaeda’s brutal attacks. We believe people everywhere would see their economies crippled by a cut-off in energy supplies. As we did in the Gulf War, we will not tolerate aggression across borders, and we will keep our commitments to friends and partners.”
For decades, the United States wanted mainly to keep hostile countries from getting nuclear weapons, while Obama’s policy is to put the priority on eliminating nuclear weapons (including those of the United States) entirely. “Countering terrorism” becomes stopping al-Qaeda! How about stopping Hamas and Hizballah or the Muslim Brotherhood? Nope. Not part of the policy. “Standing up for Israel’s security” becomes the generic “we will keep our commitments to friends and partners.”
Yes, I think you’ve defined it — nailed it — the Obama Doctrine.
America-bad; America haters-good.
Not Muslim, not Marxist — but 60′s New Left
It’s his Worldview.
Not a conspiracy.
Well, it is conspiracy in the sense that he tries to hide what he believes — tries to bend opinion using phrases that seem familiar and good, but are actually the opposite of what they mean to ordinary U.S. people.
If his “Worldview” was admitted or understood — for sure he wouldn’t have any chance at all next election — might even face impeachment.
He is 95% a Chicago Democrat politician con artist. He takes all the liberal domestic issues and subverts them for corporate interest, like Obamacare, the financial “reform,” etc. If you think Obamacare is “socialist” please stop reading this, you are beyond hope.
Obama is the ultimate betrayer. The Republicans are paralyzed on the issue of domestic spending because calling for a balanced budget says their “supply side tax cuts” policy was a boondoggle scam, so Obama has no fears there. However there is space for him to play the leftist, and he and Jarrett play it up big time as a sort of compensation for being otherwise utterly corporate stooges. This area is foreign policy. He played the leftoid with Venezuela and Honduras. He picked on Israel to show he is a big boy. Remember the articles a few years back begging Israel to do X to show Obama was not incompetent? Also part of the foreign policy ineptness comes from the left’s belief in the “magical liberal,” ie, themselves, and their believed power to change the world.
Obama’s foreign policy is “leftist” because it is the one area he can be leftist and not lose power for his corporate cronyism.
I add the realm of foreign policy is a space Obama and Jarrett can exercise their leftist cliches about Israel is particular. They still believe, deeply, if they don’t realize it, that peace in the “Middle East” is dependent in some way on Israel. Take his recent speeches. They are disasters because they mix up the Arab Spring with the Israel Palestinian issue. NO Arab country supported those speeches because they were detached from reality, from most people’s perspectives, but not a Western leftist one, which hangs everything on Israel.
A person who gives aid and comfort to America’s enemies is, according to the US Constitution, a traitor. Treason is, according to the US Constitution, an impeachable offense. Once Ubama is removed from office, either through the next election or through impeachment, he can be tried for treason. And we all know what is the traditional penalty for that offense.
Yes, what you have described is Obama and the Left.
….my own recurring thought is that we musn’t allow ourselves to be snookered again by Obama’s shallow “charisma”.
I’m hoping that our national attention-span is long enough, and wide enough to remember in November of 2012 what I hope we’re learned since his election and that startling Nobel “Prize” after just starting his term of office.
We must not re-elect this chameleon. If we do have him in office again, I’m torn between thinking that “we deserve who we vote for”…..and knowing that we must prevent such careless voting in order to safeguard our national welfare.
Reminds one of Dean Acheson’s April, 1950 speech at the National Press Club. Hope the results of this aren’t as deadly.GBUSA
The hippie-hopey-changey world IS upside down. That’s why it’s best year was 1969.
Excellent analysis, thank you.
Just two points :
the Sixties New Left was marxist: it tried to mask itself to avoid looking inspired by the butchers of the Soviet Union but it was fanatically and dogmatically marxist.
Second, my usual note about “upside down”: if you want to say in Latin “to set (something) upside down”, you use the verb SUBVERTERE.
From which subversion, subversive.
Good points Sherab. By the way, have you seen the photos of Sarah today riding with the motorcyclists in Washington, D.C.? She and her family, what a great idea. She is truly intuitive. I am sure the other candidates are kicking themselves for not thinking of this first.

Hear hear! According to leftist ideology we are the bad guys and that’s why they insist on our suicide. Believing Obama is a muslim doesn’t take into account the influence of the left. First of all it unfair to Muslims, but most importantly: by ignoring the left you are sure to loose.
Moreover, you can’t blame Islam for being Islam. But you can blame the left for purposefully ignoring reality and desiring the disasters they bring about. From the open borders, staggering national debt, abandonement of sovereignty and the betrayal of allies. These are not unfortunate by products of a well intended ideology. It is the main focus of their revolution.
No truer words were ever said, when someone noted, “Obama doesn’t aim to lead, he aims to Rule“
Yup, you got it, but the New Left were amorphous Marxists. That is to say, Marxists in temperament on the “long march” through the institutions: “Revolution for the hell of it!” Thus, the paradox of a Chomsky, the revolutionary collecting a state pension from the state he wants to ostensibly destroy. But I suspect this is just a fantasy of the ‘lucky generation” that was too young to participate in WW2 and too old for Korea (born between 1925/45). This was the generation that produced the sub-cultural Beat Generation, a generation that coined the term “Greatest Generation” (Brokaw referring to the WW2 GIs), and a generation that provided the intelligentsia in novels (Kesey) and songs (Beatles) and movies (Mash) that led the baby boomers; it’s also the generation that created the self serving progressive narrative for the last fifty years that you so aptly delineate with Obama.
Don, it’s not so much “Revolution for the hell of it”. Actually there are two schools, which I would crudely describe as:
The Gramsci school whose strategy is “the long march through the institutions”, and whose purpose is a gradual socialist or communist “evolution”, transforming culture, society and politics bit by bit over time instead of taking power by a coup.
And the Frankfurt School that says what we have is bad, but offers no alternative other than to destroy what what we have hoping it will change “for the better”.
I’ve been following Barry Rubin daily for probably a year now and find his blog very insightful, but it sure took him a long time to figure out what many on the right knew about Obama in 2008, and he’s not completely there yet. But it just shows that Obama is so blatant in his actions that even a liberal (a real one, not a far-leftist posing as a liberal) will have to figure it out eventually. There’s simply a limit to what a rational person can ascribe to malpractice rather than intent. There’s a method in the madness and the method should tell us something. I hope enough Americans will figure it out by 2012.
At least Obama is consistent and predictable in his treachery towards America’s allies and his harmlessness towards America’s enemies.
At least now the American allies and friends he has alienated, despised, driven away, and betrayed know that they can expect nothing better from the American President and will now have to rely on themselves for their own security and stability.
Of course this is not a good situation and could lead to once careful and considerate states to taking impulsive short term actions where they would once have waited for the go ahead from Washington.
This is not just a problem concerning the Middle East either. There is a very good chance that Pakistan will once again heat up Jammu and Kashmir or make another Mumbai type terror attack on India. This could mean another war between the two states and the potential for a nuclear exchange as well.
North Korea now knows that it has nothing to fear from a Barack Obama led American military and may launch another military adventure against South Korea before Obama leaves office. Again, nuclear weapons could be involved in that conflict.
And I hasten to point out that both North Korea and Pakistan have close military and economic ties to Red China, which has promised to back both of those states if push comes to shove with the United States.
Barack Hussein Obama has certainly made a hash of American foreign relations, almost as serious a hash as he has made of the American economy.
The joke was that if you lose your job, it’s a recession, while if I lose my job it’s a depression. But the new joke includes the line that when Obama loses his job it’s a recovery! It will also mean international stability, peace, and progress when Obama is gone.
All well-taken points. But don’t forget the PRC itself as a potential military problem.
The PRC fully intends to dominate the South China Sea, and own the oil-rich Spratley Islands. They also are obsessed (that’s the only word) with returning Taiwan to mainland control by the proverbial any means necessary.
To accomplish the former, they are building a “prestige” navy around a single carrier. It’s mainly a littoral-warfare force, and wouldn’t stand up to a U.S. carrier battle group, but it’s good enough for sea control around the Spratleys (i.e., intimidating the Philippines and Japan).
As for Taiwan, they won’t even need their navy. Or their (virtually nonexistent) amphibious forces. They have an air force that is fairly big, and fairly powerful. All they really need to do is bomb hell out of Taiwan’s major cities until the rubble bounces, or the government cries “Uncle!” And I suspect that they don’t really care which way it ends.
In either case, the application of American military power (the aforementioned CVBG) or economic power (sanctions, etc.) plus military power (declaring and enforcing a no-fly zone for the PLAAF anywhere east of Quemoy and Matsu, or even just sending enough military aid to Taiwan to let them do it, as we did with Israel in the 1973 Yom Kippur War), would probably stop the PRC in its tracks.
For that exact reason, they can be certain that this President will do none of the above. Because Communist China represents the worldview he dreams of ruling the world- autocratic, superstitious, primitivist, mystical, brutal, anti-Western, and ultimately anti-civilization.
He wants a world run by the barbarians, in which, to quote the Doctor, Man’s ambition would not reach beyond his next meal. (See “The Masque of Mandragora”.)
He thinks he is creating a Paradise. It is more likely to look like hell on earth to the rest of us, but he simply does not care.

You know what it is about Obama..?
It’s like he was elected by the U.N. instead of Americans and 2008 was his first time here.
Under his presidency it feels like America has been put into receivership and it like he is here to oversee a giant liquidation sale.
NeoKong, Very succinctly stated. I know I don’t feel like I live in the USA any longer, but some “Alice in Wonderland” nightmare from which I keep trying to wake up. A plastic, sociopathic Barry, trying to “act” American, without knowing how to “be” American, to deluded, out of touch Americans that voted for and still support this snake oil salesman. While I would truly like to believe that I will wake from this nightmare 2012, I don’t put anything past this nighmare cast, to make sure Barry continues and the USA is no more.
Spot on.
I believe Spike thinks that he can go to be something bigger than potus of an average, though selfish, country. He sees himself in far more grandious terms than that, and if he doesn’t make it absolutely clear how much he detests american value, his ambition will be thwarted.
In Egypt it’s entirely possible that the winner of the Presidential elections will be the one who can most conspicuously distance himself from the Americans.
Behind the scenes Egypt will extort money from the West over Israel, Iran, etc – same game as before but with a North Korean twist of lime.
The spice must flow. ’67 and ’73 saw oil stop.
Except no one’s making any more oil. The middle east’s time is coming. The problem is that will make immigration pressures even worse.
There is no winning with this culture – if the British Empire was one where the sun never set – Islam is an entity where the mouth is never shut.
#10, there may be some advantage to some of these countries beginning to rely on themselves. The Saudi led Gulf Cooperation Council and the possible Polish led entente in Europe can be positive steps. It will be interesting to see if the President’s European jaunt produces more than spin, after the missile defense agreement went under the bus. GBUSA
One sympathizes with the author’s frustration over the Bamster’s Bamsterizing of US foreign policy. Having sledded into the WH on a pack of outright lies regarding his real views and attitudes, Obama began to Bill Ayers his administration with every zombie left wing hack he could dig up out of the fever swamps of academia. Thus, it was to be expected that he and they would try to adjust the vector of US foreign policy to reflect their communal worship for the extended Manson family of international predators known as communist (anti-American, anti-West, anti-reality) revolutionaries—the kind of people that really make their little hearts beat faster.
But Obama himself is a sort of bubble that is not to be taken too seriously, a rift in the reality continuum, as it were. And his little bubble will burst at some point, and maybe before the next president is sworn-in early in 2013. Who knows? We’ll all be breathing a deep sigh of relief when the Bamster’s due date comes even as we administer to the left’s suicide level despair that they had it within their grasp, almost realized their lifelong dream of wrecking the US to make the world a better place. The more caring among us will of course offer kind words for the fallen martyr to everything that’s good, decent, and right about this country. Bamster, oh Bamster, come back to us Bamster, we hardly knew you! Etc. And that’s been part of the problem all along, hasn’t it?
Turkish Military Officer: “The problem with being an ally of the Americans is that you never know when they will stab themselves in the back.”
Turkey did a good job of back-stabbing when we were forced to divert the 4th ID from entering Iraq via Turkey and had to ship them back through the Suez Canal and to a staging area south of Iraq.
Obama only seems upside down when you don’t assume he’s a closet Muslim.
I don’t think President Obama is a Muslim. I think he is a Christian. He is definitely anti-muslim because he is always ready to go to war with them. What about the war in Libya? Most of those people are Muslim. Same in Afghanistan and Iraq. I sometimes wonder why people on this site are so anti-Obama when he is killing so many of the people Israel hates-the Muslims. Jeesh, guys, Obama’s doing ya’ll a favor. He’s knocking off Muslims left and right. He practically knelt down and gave Bibi a ..ow job, for crying out loud! I’m surprised he isn’t the one putting up the rent for Dominic Strauss Kahn’s bunker in Manhattan. Do a little research, why doncha, and maybe find out he is! Not that I care or anything. As long as my welfare checks still come out on time. Is it midnight on the 31st yet? Me and my kids need some food and our government help won’t kick in till then. I like Walmart the best, by the way. And thank ya’ll for all ya’lls help and support. We (my current live in boyfriend and kids) really appreciate it. Ya’ll have a great Memorial Day. While I’m grillin some steaks and chops, I’ll be thinking of ya’ll. Chow!
And his get back to the 1967 Borders order and his dont build houses order to Israel is just a ploy to fool Mohammedans about how pro Mohammedan and anti Israel he is hey mika. You moonbats really do make me laugh with all you Obambi loving naive, gullible stupidity.
That’s “ciao”, not “chow”.
Homophones, you know.
cheers

If you took Israel out of the M.E. picture completely, the Muslims would be after killing each other, Shia vs. Sunni,etc.
Really, whether Obama is a closet-Muslim or not shouldn’t matter. He hates western civilization and he sure is not a Christian!
What matters about Obama is that he’s dedicated to his personal power, however he can acquire it,if by betrayal that’s fine with him, and debasing the United States of America at his every opportunity.
Does that frequent early-morning phone call to the W.H. repeat orders given by George Soros? Obama depends on more than his teleprompter.
When Obama dithers, it must mean that Soros hasn’t yet phoned.
A modern day Nero who fiddle’s while America burns. The Emperor has no clothes and his henchmen will not tell him….but there are men behind the curtain who are relishing their accomplishments. One could not dream of a better mole in the white house.
Obama knows what he’s doing…protecting Israel…at all costs. What could be more important? Israel has bought and paid for the U.S. presidency as well as Congress. You don’t think Bibi means America any harm, do ya? If we go under, Israel’s revenue source will dry up. Obama’s a shoo in for re-election 2012. I for one will vote for him. He protects people like me, the under class, as well as the uber rich. America’s middle class needs to get real. Ya’ll never were important, and you won’t be important in the future. Get back to me when ya’ll are applying for Medicaid and food stamps in 2013. Ya’ll are goin down! Viva la revolution! P.S. I think your McMansions will make swell rooming houses for some of my homies down in dixie!
Mika from the way you write about Obambi and your ‘homies’ it seems certain that you are a Racist Black who would support Obambi no matter what just like 96% of your Brothers do. So your OPINION has no worth whatsoever. You are so stupid you think this guy is Black like you just because of his skin colour and cant seem to get it in to your head that this 50% WHITE, 30% ARAB, 20% Black guy was brought up rich and privileged and sent to expensive schools and colleges by his RICH WHITE family, all the things you profess to HATE, and he has nothing at all in common with poor black trash like you.
Didn’t occur to you that Miki is a good satirist, did it?
A ‘good’ satirist exposes situations and people to ridicule nothing Mika said was any different to what Obambi and his fawning acolytes say all the time. So the satire if indeed that is what it is intended to be falls completely flat.
My sandwich is your sandwich.
If it comes down to it, I’d vote for Palin over Obama. She’s pro life. Anybody who has kids has to love Mama Grizzly.
There’s an old song that goes…”and they’ll know I’m a Christian by my love, by my love, yes they’ll know I’m a Christian by my love.” Obama’s a Christian and so am I! And we BOTH love ya’ll! We really do. Please keep those tax receipts coming! Jesus thanks ya’ll! So does Obama and me!
Second thoughts Mika you are not a stupid Racist Black you are a stupid racist left wing moonbat TROLL. Don’t feed the Troll guys I am sorry I did.
Our foreign policy in the Middle East has turned into a disaster. Not only have we succeeded in alienating our only real friend in the area, Israel, but we’ve allowed Mubarak to be replaced by God knows what and even now the Saudis don’t trust us anymore. But the possible alliance between Israel and Saudi Arabia should alert us to another possible disaster that’s coming: A Sunni vs. Shia battle that could end in millions of lives being lost. Conventional wisdom these days is that all of the arab countries will gang up on Israel after the Muslim Brotherhood takes over in Egypt. However, if only radical Islamic shiites take over, the Sunni nations (like Saudi Arabia) will feel vulnerable and want to protect themselves from the shia onslaught. And if Iran gets a nuclear weapon, trust me, the Saudis will want one too. Even though Hillary Clinton said that the United States will protect Saudi Arabia from Iran, do you really think the Saudis believe that after what happened to Mubarak in Egypt? Nope, the Saudi royal family is going to do everything in its power to ge a powerful WMD. If not a nuclear device, certainly a chemical one. So Iran forcing Syria, Hamas, Hezbollah, Egypt, and possibly Jordan into attacking Israel could also ignite a Sunni/Shia war as well. And Obama and Clinton don’t have a clue on how to stop it.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz… oh, wha…?
How true and how depressing! Half the country has voted by this man. God help us!
Obama’s leftist/Communist moonbat view is ‘my enemies enemy is my friend’ and as Western Capitalism and Democracy is HIS enemy then every tinpot dictator Mohammedan lunatic, Union Leader, and despot are his FRIENDS but Allies such as the UK and Israel and the EU are his ENEMIES.
Looked on from that point of view all the Obamanations actions make complete sense.
Barry you are a moron!
How about this one: plan to shake loose everyone (ill conceived) from eating at the USA trough – so we do not have to play #1 anymore and spend like it. Call it superficial NeoIsolationism with uncaring twists and effects – despotism will now flouish and Islam will be unchecked again. One more thing – economically, it will wreak havoc anda not clear the US debt problems. So we move to a global war economy to solve a population problem and put the peons to work.
Who’s on Idol this week?
My ideal cabinet would be headed by Bolton Sec. of State, Netanyahu Sec. of Defense, Cain Sec. of Treasury, Bachmann Attorney General, …
Now, who could we hire to make it so?
Just as it is the job of the United States to be just and not to enforce a particular (subjective) version of “social justice”, so it is the task of a United States President to represent the interests of the United States, not to personally decide what those interests are.
The Presidential Oath of Office is one simple line:
“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”
If Barack Obama didn’t want the job of running the place with all of its alleged warts and standing up for its founding documents*, he shouldn’t have run for President.
(*Obama has referenced the Constitution/Bill of Rights, as a litany of “negative liberties”; he’d like to replace restrictions on government with positive liberties, i.e., government provided)
Out of expediency and hopes of gaining another 4 years, expect to see less and less talk of the real objective, “fundamental transformation of the United States”, and more and more talk of our “values”, our common heritage etc.
Don’t believe a word.
“We must acknowledge that a strategy based solely upon the narrow pursuit of these interests will not fill an empty stomach or allow someone to speak their mind.”
As an ideologue, completely devoted to the ideologue’s narrative, Barack Obama will never bring himself to acknowledge one vital truth in Netanyahu’s speech to Congress last week:
That the only free Arabs in the middle east are Israeli Arabs.
Remember, Obama is desperate to be popular abroad. And he views popularity as giving the people abroad what they want, whether or not that’s in U.S. interests. If, for example, the “people” of the Middle East don’t want the United States to support Israel, then according to his worldview it shouldn’t.
Pathetic.
“…Societies held together by fear and repression may offer the illusion of stability for a time, but they are built upon fault lines that will eventually tear asunder.”
Fear and repression are Obama’s wet dream for the United States.
He is a weak man who would love to shut up his detractors. He envies totalitarian regimes.
Occasionally, he gives it away, such as his remarks wistfully envying China whose leaders don’t have to listen to a messy Congress or a messy population or go through prolonged Constitutional exercises to effect their decrees.
You think he was kidding ?
“[Hey, Hey,] LBJ, how many kids did you kill today”
Jacques, Jacques, Jacques Chirac!
How many kids did you starve in Iraq?
“…for Obama the world is upside down from the historic American political mainstream.”
President Obama was at Trinity Church for 20 years and only left when he was shamed out of it during his campaign. The President named his book “Audacity of Hope” after a sermon by his reverend, the eminent racist Jeremiah Wright.
That Trinity Church is based on Jim Cone’s Black Liberation Theology. James Cone says in his book Black Theology and Black Power, “While it is true that blacks do hate whites, black hatred is not racism.”
Julia Speller, Trinity Church historian in a March 15, 2008 Newsweek article said about the issue of Wright’s hate speech, “Is there an assumption that because of the hate talk, nothing good can come from him?”
Sure, like maybe Hitler’s freeways were good?
You got all that? These people are not only upside down but backwards and then crazy and stupid on top of it. And, like muslims, they are never wrong – it’s seared into their contradictory racespeak that they’re never wrong, about anything.
These people could make even George Orwell cry. If you named that church “Trinity Church of Moronic Doublespeak” you’d be closer to a truth and that’s where our beloved prez spent 20 years and had his kids baptized. That’s like having your kids baptized by Joseph Goebbels. But it’s okay: they like puppies and freeways.
What is stubbornly missing from the narratives
Obama’s deeds, plans, words, religion etc. are parsed, dissected endlessly yet no light has been shed on the grey eminences who engineered, financed and put on the throne this nameless, obscure individual without a modicum of achievement and credential.
There are an abundance of “investigative” books published by radical Leftists smearing republican individuals, revealing the most intimate personal details of their hated subjects yet nobody took the task to lift the veil from the invisible Obama network.
It would be a great reading to learn about the furtive network of the American radical Marxist king-makers; Soros, N.Y. Times, Tides Foundation, ….who’s who in the media, at the Wall Street, Democracy Alliance, Apollo Alliance etc.
Apart from ONE man – Glenn Beck – the rest of the conservatives simply afraid to challenge the Obama coterie and it shows.
Beck’s head is already on the pike;- the fear rule supreme among conservatives.
“It isn’t that Obama is a Muslim or a Marxist; it’s that … he is America’s first (and hopefully last) 1960s New Left president.”
Obama is an old-fashioned hardline marxist-leninist, like many of the “leaders” of the 1960s New Left actually were. And he got it all from his communist mother and grandparents; the Kenyan dad was not there! Frantz Fanon, anti-imperialism and the attempts to hijack anti-colonial movements were all part of standard marxist dogma in the 1970s.
If you really want to understand Barack Obama, don’t read Dinesh D’Souza, read Destructive Generation by Collier and Horowitz from 1996. It is all there.
If you want to understand the ideological underpinnings to Obama’s foreign policy, look at someone like Kees van der Pijl (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kees_Van_Der_Pijl), my International Relations professor in Amsterdam in the early 1990s and member of a stalinist splinter of the Dutch communist party.
Being European I perfectly comprehend and concur with your narrative.
The question goes beyond Obama’s personal ideology; how could fall this formidable nation into the traps of Marxism-Leninism with such a great enthusiasm?
Remember that in every country on earth, – including Russia – the Communist takeover followed by bloody civil wars at a time when the Communist destruction was still not widely known and its magnetism was untarnished.
Nowadays Bolshevism is considered as a failed socio-economic system and Americans now started to worship its demented prophets?
A street organizer overnight became a Messiah?
Even Lenin or Stalin had long credentials and struggling years behind them before turned into demigods…and this guy from Chicago South-side did the same in just a couple of month?
Astonishing feat!
To answer your question, depressingly conservatives are a huge part of the problem. Conservatives have helped reduce political debate in America in the decades since the 1960s to conservative versus liberal.
Conservatives call anyone who doesn’t share their values – God, Country, Military, anti-abortion, low taxes, and that’s about it… – a “librul”. Conservatism has 40 percent support at the most, so any “liberal” wins by the default.
Liberalism everywhere in the world means capitalism, except in America. In America liberalism has been a euphemism for socialism for decades. Now it is a euphemism for pure marxist-leninism as well.
Classic liberals wrote the Constitution, but have to call themselves libertarians in present-day America. They are sidelined and marginalized, often mixed with truthers and conspiracy nuts and they are only allowed a supporting role as “fiscal conservatives” in a Republican party dominated by “the Conservative Base”.
In the end (surprise!surprise! it turns out that modernity is fascism and fascism is modernity. It’s hard to see but it’s there.
