In his second autobiography, "The Audacity of Hope," published two years before he became president, Obama confessed: "I can't help but view the American experience through the lens of a black man of mixed heritage, forever mindful of how generations of people who looked like me were subjugated and stigmatized, and the subtle and not so subtle ways that race and class continue to shape our lives."
Obama doesn't just have a hidden ideological agenda. He's also hiding a personal agenda that dovetails with his radical ideology.
[blockquote] How Obama Shares His 'Anti-Anglo' Father's Dreams (http://news.investors.com/article/609334/201204261741/obama-channels-rage-of-father-over-british.htm?p=full)
The Obama Record
The Obama Record: Why would the president abandon longstanding U.S. policy supporting British control of the Falklands? Same reason he sent Churchill's bust back to the Brits.
bfaclThe man sitting in the Oval Office views the Anglo-American alliance through the same anti-colonial lens as his late father and their shared hero — Frantz Fanon — who argued that America and Britain were great oppressors.
From 1920 to 1963, Britain colonized Kenya and, according to Obama, mistreated his grandfather in the process. His father, moreover, was briefly jailed during the emergency declared by the British to put down the Mau-Mau uprising there. Winston Churchill was then prime minister.
As Britain was fighting the rebellion, its embassy in Washington warned that Obama's father and other Kenyans seeking to study in the U.S. shared a dangerous antipathy toward both Britain and America.
In a Sept. 1, 1959, cable just released by the National Archives in West London, a British diplomat said the group had radical ties and a reputation for "both anti-American and anti-white" views. Obama Sr. still obtained a student visa to attend Harvard University.
This helps explain his son's attitude toward America's top ally. And why during a recent visit with Argentina's president he refused to follow decades-old policy supporting U.K. control of the Falkland Islands, opting instead for a position of "neutrality." And why he sent the Oval Office bust of Churchill back to London days after taking office in 2009.
Anti-colonial hatred, in fact, reflects Obama's economic and foreign policy. It explains why he goes around the world apologizing for America and seeks to end its global dominance and exceptionalism.

It also explains why he wants to redistribute America's military power to the Russians and Chinese, why he denied the Poles and Czechs missile defense and why he's cutting our nuclear arsenal by a third.
He sees domestic America through this lens as well, believing "blacks were forced into ghettos" by white capitalists. He believes formerly colonized people are not just Kenyans, but also African descendents living today in America. And that they still suffer under the "neocolonial" system of capitalism and must be liberated — and compensated — as he proposed in a 2001 Chicago Public Radio interview.
This is how he justifies his redistributive policies at home and abroad. This is what he means by "economic justice." It's no coincidence that welfare payments — through food stamps and disability benefits — have hit record highs under Obama. Or that succor has spiked in Kenya through increased U.S. aid and projects funded by the Obama administration. According to the U.S. Trade & Aid Monitor, recent largesse includes:
• U.S. development grants for expanding "livestock-related economic opportunities" in the African nation.
• Funding for a State Department program called Kenya Agricultural Value Chain Enterprises.
• Up to $50 million in U.S. Navy-coordinated military building projects at Camp Simba, Kenya, and another camp nearby.
• Deployment to Kenya of a privately contracted regional adviser for State's office of foreign disaster assistance, as well as an emerging pandemic threat adviser.
• A Trade and Development Agency-led project to explore energy in Kenya.
When Obama's father returned to Kenya with a Harvard economics degree in hand, he joined the newly independent Kenyan government as a Marxian economist. He argued for wringing all vestiges of Western "neocolonialism"out of the Kenyan economy and replacing it with socialism.
Unfortunately for America, which in 2008 had no idea it was electing a leader with such foreign baggage, his son is captive to the same ideology that sees capitalism as a form of neocolonialism.
"He adopted his father's position that the free market is a code word for economic plunder," said Dinesh D'Souza, author of the best-seller "The Roots of Obama's Rage." "Obama grew to perceive the rich as an oppressive class, a kind of neocolonial power within America." And he's trying to apply his father's discredited formulas from the 1960s of transferring wealth from the supposed colonizers to the colonized.
Rather than focus on the specific people who wronged his family, "Obama is on a systematic campaign against the colonial system that destroyed his father's dreams," D'Souza asserted, adding: "With a kind of suppressed fury, he is committed to keep going until he has brought that system down. And according to his father's anti-colonial ideology, which Obama has internalized for himself, that system is the military and economic power of the U.S."
What other evidence exists that Obama views the West through his father's anti-colonial lens? It's plain from his first memoir, "Dreams From My Father," that he worships his dad and his ideology. He devotes a third of the book to covering, in bitter detail, his father's life and his colonized ancestry in Kenya. This is purposeful.
He also discussed "neocolonialism," "Eurocentrism," "patriarchy" and "white capitalist imperialism" — along with the works of Fanon, his favorite author — in bull sessions with Marxist friends in college.
In his second autobiography, "The Audacity of Hope," published two years before he became president, Obama confessed: "I can't help but view the American experience through the lens of a black man of mixed heritage, forever mindful of how generations of people who looked like me were subjugated and stigmatized, and the subtle and not so subtle ways that race and class continue to shape our lives."
Obama doesn't just have a hidden ideological agenda. He's also hiding a personal agenda that dovetails with his radical ideology. [/blockquote]

So obama is a vindictive little asshat, temper tantrum throwing tyrant, angry because of his twisted belief his daddy was mistreated. Always knew the guy was about a mile wide and inch thick.
If history isn't totally re written, he will not fare well.

I remember reading something similar to this expose in the wake of the Churchill bust Debacle. But when I would forward the alarm to the Michael Medved's of this land I would get nothing but scorn and condescension.
This is the reason why I will not subscribe to the quaint but cockeyed notion that Øbozo isn't malevolent - he just has a different vision for America. Bullsh!t! The man is out to dismantle America.

I'm also rather tired of hearing variations of "America didn't know who it was electing". It was obvious to me. It was obvious to everyone on this forum. Even with the media obfuscating as much as it could, the evidence was there.
If people want to say they made a mistake in voting for him, fine. Remedy your mistake in 2012. But don't try to pass off this "nobody knew!" nonsense. His Marxist inclinations were crystal clear.

Knew most of this cra way before the election of '08 but nobody listened.
What do you say to people that voted for the clown and continue to say they love their grandchildren? In my case it's likely she'll vote for the Marxist pig this go round again as well.
Makes me want to club her. ::rockets::

Club her, warpmine, before she does you.

They lie. It's not that they didn't know, they didn't care. They wanted to vote for him.

They did care. They wanted what he promised, whatever it was, a "transformation".
You want it, you got it Toyota.
Not so friggin happy now, are they? Oh, not the 47%; they like it. They want more.

Once Stymie has a large majority of Americans on the dole , I'd like to see him get them to work !

Worst yet, still believes that nonsense NPR spews out. No changing this braindead person's mind. Like that of the Walking Dead. One tract mind zombie, dinner. Yes, It's my mother, I said it. ::gaah::

Oh, once the breaching point is reached, they'll work...as slaves, or be lined up and shot.

The libs I know are all pretty well off so they weren't voting for a Toyota -- they have one of those and a BMW or Mercedes. Actually, I believe that many of my lib friends are anti -Republican as a knee jerk reaction. I think it's because they don't link Christians especially the ones that have made politics their mission. They may say they're Christians but they think they are enlightened enough not to let their religious formation dictate their voting. In reality it's their lack of religious formation that dictates their voting. They believe the government should "help" people. They're willing to support Obama and Dems even it costs them some money because they have money and know they'll still be able to have what they want. --they can't leave it to Christian charity because they don't like Christians who walk the walk.

Since we're on the topic here's my two bits:
It is impossible for Christianity and liberalism to be practiced by the same person. Much like it is impossible for Islam and Democracy to exist together.
Democrats may say they are Christians but the sad reality is that liberalism today is 100% evil - advocating death and poverty at every turn. You can not reconcile the stark differences between the tenants (wholesome and good) of Christianity and the tenants (destructive and evil) of liberalism.
I am haunted by the words of the pastor of my former church. "I'm a proud socialist!"; he is fond of proclaiming. But when you try to explain the depths of the evil of socialism and the horrendous death count of it in the last 100 +/- years he completely tunes you out and refuses to hear any of that - preferring instead to blindly follow this cult of death.
America is a dominantly Christian country and it is completely necessary for the left to destroy that. They are doing this through 'social justice'. It is abhorrent to me that they would seek to undermine the religion that this country was founded on. But that is exactly what they are doing.
So the next time your good friend (or family member or whatever) claims to be a good Christian while voting for a democrat be sure to enlighten them.

I'm with you.
I don't line up politically, 100%, with any candidate. It is, imo, impossible. But there are certain religious precepts which compromise is not possible. In order to vote democrat, claim you are christian, you must ignore your own beliefs.
I've had dem friends tell me they separate thier religious beliefs from thier political beliefs. Hogwash. Copout. I've listened to enough so called religious leaders preaching social justice and I believe it is why so many churches are accepting the social justice message. Water finds its own level.
Wait til your "friends" start coming up to you, stating you do not love God because you will not accept sinful behavior. You will be labeled having no compassion because you won't accept a lifestyle contrary to Gods word....You don't have love in your heart...... They comment they will "pray for you".....
All I can tell you is run. Get away from these idiots.

Not in person. I have had such things written to me; 'you are a nasty, greedy, unChristian person because you do not want the gummint taking your money for the pore&starvin' as Christ taught'.
Besides, that's my usual reaction to asshattery in general.

I have a very good friend who has been an ELCA Lutheran member his entire life. It was a conservative church when he was young, and has been overrun by liberals, now eager to embrace all forms of perversion and social justice as "Christ's teachings".
It is very hard for him, and in a way, it is akin to the struggles people face in recognizing and then responding to the Democrat party's departure from their beliefs. Who could imagine, for instance, a reasonable Jew or a thinking Black continuing to vote Democrat? But they do, in droves.
My friend continues to attend the ELCA church, even though they've departed from his beliefs long ago. Identity is a difficult thing of which to shed ones self, even when not doing so flies in the face of reason.

Read the handwriting on the wall, connect the dots, whatever way it can be put, I've no patience with them that won't reason.
During the last ten years, I have become very much more a cut-to-the-chase thinker; it has simplified my life in numerous ways. If it walks, looks and quacks like a duck, it's a damned duck; plan your responses accordingly. Excuses walk.

I hear ya Pan. Even so, it is from that pool of people who recognize the cognitive disconnect and believe themselves frozen into inaction on their reason, where we will find people who will eventually convert to reasoned thinking. In fact, converts come from them exclusively. From them, we get our David Horowitzes, Dennis Millers, Jon Voigts, etc... for whatever it's worth.
ETA: And even our Ronald Reagans...

Yeah, missionaries, they go into the wilds to bring the knowledge of God
sometime they are successful, sometime they lose their heads but they
keep on doing it.
