Obama's love affair with communism

 

Such extreme leftists as Obama are bound to ignore history and the mountains of evidence that render a verdict against socialism as a destroyer of prosperity and an enslaver and slayer of mankind.

David Limbaugh  "Conservatives and other Obama critics are entitled to a big “I told you so,” after Obama’s stunning admission that he doesn’t believe there’s that much difference between communism and capitalism.

"Actually, it’s not that stunning to people paying attention. Many of us warned about Obama’s Marxist sympathies before he was first elected president, and we’ve repeatedly pointed it out during his presidency. Obama was raised and mentored by communists and spent many years engaged in community organizing (radical leftist activism). He established himself as the most liberal member of the Senate. Yet our warnings were met with cries of extremism, irrationality and, of course, racism. I wonder what these scolds would say now."  . . . 

"Such extreme leftists as Obama are bound to ignore history and the mountains of evidence that render a verdict against socialism as a destroyer of prosperity and an enslaver and slayer of mankind. Their worldview compels them to advocate economic and political control over the masses for the ends they seek, and they shut themselves off from all information indicating that to exercise such control over markets prevents the very results they profess to seek." . . .

Dr Thomas Sowell: Supreme hypocrisy on display

Thomas Sowell compares his experience as presidential appointee to today's battles  . . . "The Democrats complain, and the media echo their complaint, that it is the Senate’s duty to provide “advice and consent” on the president’s appointment of various federal officials. Therefore, according to this claim, the Senate is neglecting its constitutional duty by refusing even to hold hearings to determine whether the nominee is qualified, and then vote accordingly.

"First of all, the “advice and consent” provision of the Constitution is a restriction on the president’s power, not an imposition of a duty on the Senate. It says nothing about the Senate’s having a duty to hold hearings, or vote, on any presidential nominee, whether for the Supreme Court or for any other federal institution. The power to consent is the power to refuse to consent, and for many years no hearings were held, whether the Senate consented or did not consent.

"Nor have Democrats hesitated, when they controlled the Senate, to refuse to hold hearings or to vote when a lame-duck president nominated someone for some position requiring Senate confirmation during a presidential election year.

"When the shoe was on the other foot, the Republicans made the same arguments as the Democrats are making today, and the Democrats made the same arguments the Republicans are now making." . . .

Brussels is what happens when liberals don’t push immigrants to integrate

With their state designed across communitarian lines, the Belgians did not encourage integration, doing everything possible to prevent the immigrants from losing their original “identity.”

. . . “ 'Islam,” she said, “holds a place in our Western societies. Islam belongs to Europe … I am not afraid to say that political Islam should be part of the picture.”

"Mogherini’s statement offers an insight into the mentality that has helped produce the situation in Western European societies, where fear is woven into the fabric of daily life. It is a world of illusions and false identities.

"In Mogherini’s world, the sufferings of Syrians, caused by a savage regime, are on par with the sufferings of inhabitants of European capital cities such as Madrid, London, Paris and now Brussels that have come under attack from jihadists who kill at random.

"In that world, political Islam, far from being an adversary dedicated to your destruction, becomes part of the family.

"The envoy fails to see the logical conclusion of her analysis: If Islam is no longer a religion but a political ideology, why shouldn’t it be subjected to the same treatment, including criticism, as any other political ideology, and, if it poses a present and clear danger, face outright suppression?". . .Via Rush Limbaugh

More on Hillary

Los Angeles Times previews Hillary’s strategy to dispute a criminal referral on email scandal   "Hillary Clinton’s allies are carefully implementing a strategy to deal with a possible criminal referral to the Justice Department by the FBI.  Unfortunately, I have to take serious issue with my colleague Rick Moran’s interpretation of a Los Angeles Times story* on the FBI’s move to begin formal interviews with Hillary’s aides, and probably with Hillary herself, as the probe moves toward its final phase.
Rick writes:

It appears that federal prosecutors are setting a very high bar when it comes to criminal behavior by Hillary Clinton.

FBI readies crucial interviews of Hillary and her aides
. . . "This doesn't mean that Clinton is off the hook.  Her aides, especially, may be vulnerable, given that they were the ones who sent the emails in the first place.  But prosecutors may publicly be laying the groundwork to give Clinton a pass, or at worst a slap on the wrist. " . . . 

Sheik Yusuf al-Qaradawi: Theologian of Terror; Islam vs. civilization

. . . "On October 12, 2010, through a recorded message played by the Hamas-affiliated Ministry of Religious Endowment in Gaza, Qaradawi told guests at the meeting that Palestinians must continue to raise arms against Israel. According to Gazan Radio station Al Aqsa Voice, Qaradawi stated: "Not one inch of the land of Islam must remain in the grasp of infidels and occupiers. We must irrigate the tree of freedom with our blood. We must not leave the Palestinians alone. Every Muslim fulfill [sic] his role supporting our brothers in Palestine until they obtain their rights." He reiterated even more clearly, "Arms must not be laid down”he who wants freedom must pay the price."

"Several days later, on his weekly "Shariah and Life" television show on the Al Jazeera network, Qaradawi was asked by the interviewer if Muslims should attempt to acquire nuclear weapons "to terrorize their enemies." Qaradawi, noting his pleasure to learn Pakistan had such a weapon to defend itself, replied that this goal would be permissible for Muslims and provided religious justification for "terrorizing the enemy.'

A cautionary tale of terror, surrender  

"And then the pressure will begin, and under the new arrangement, other accommodations will be made in the West. Pork products really shouldn’t be sold or served because of health reasons, and alcohol sales, well, wouldn’t it be healthier for all if it weren’t readily available anymore?"

 . . . "American and British military commanders will be told, “Well, it’s nice you want to bomb A, B, or C, but there’s too much risk of hurting civilians. After all, we don’t want to help recruit more terrorists, now, do we?” Other counter-terrorism initiatives will be discussed and then discarded, because who wants to be called a racist, fascist or hatemonger?

"Then another attack will take place, and everyone will fall into his or her respective roles. Politicians will step forward to promise more of this or that, and the opinion makers and commentators will say we shouldn’t overreact, because these things happen in today’s world. We need to focus on the real threats, such as climate change, one’s carbon footprint, or the rise in ocean levels." . . .

News on the Immigration Front

So is this is an authentic view of Islam?   "Earlier today I read that Ballroom Barry is doubling down on his demands that Americans open their hearts and homeland to 100,000 Syrian refugees.  In his brief Easter remarks, Obama said:

"We have to wield another weapon alongside our airstrikes, our military, our counterterrorism work, and our diplomacy," Obama said. "And that's the power of our example. Our openness to refugees fleeing ISIL's violence. Our determination to win the battle against ISIL's hateful and violent propaganda -- a distorted view of Islam that aims to radicalize young Muslims to their cause."

Shortly I read that, a veteran friend out in Guam sent me this refugee pic:

"Notice the obvious: that it’s wet, possibly snowing, and the coats, hoods, and hands in pockets convey that it’s uncomfortably cold as well.  Then notice the less evident fact that the woman is shoeless, unlike any of the seven males.  Also, distinct from any of those males, she is carrying two small children, with the toil of her burden shown in the distressed expression on her face.  Notably, hers is the only face showing any strain within the group.  Seven healthy future American males, but not one will share the weight of the small children with this woman, much less see to it that she has proper footwear.

"Obama says ISIS presents a distorted view of Islam, so I’m compelled to ask: “Mr. President, is this an authentic view?' ” 

Man charged as Brussels bomber was ‘migrant rights activist’  "Faycal Cheffou has been arrested and charged with being the man in the hat captured on surveillance video entering the airport with two suicide bombers. He’s been identified by the taxi driver who picked up the bombers and dropped them at the airport. He is also a well-known “migrant rights activist” who has been on police and official radar for some time. Liam Deacon of Breitbart reports:"
. . . 

"Cheffou has a YouTube channel with videos decrying the treatment of Muslim colonists (a more accurate term than migrants, since they seek the transformation of Belgium into an Islamic state) in Belgium:

…recent topics include supposed police brutality against ethnic minorities, alleged human rights abuses against Palestinians, the Quran, and a report on Hasna Ait Boulahcen, a suspected terrorist who died in a raid linked to the Paris attacks.

"So who's the victim?

Obama reiterates refugee promise  . . . "Admitting entry to Syrian and Iraqi refugees has become a divisive issue in the U.S. as well as Europe, but Obama made clear he has no plan to back off his promise to admit 100,000 to the U.S. this year." . . .

ISIS 'crucifies Catholic priest on Good Friday'

. . .  after kidnapping him from old people's home where four nuns were shot dead

"The Indian Catholic priest kidnapped by ISIS-linked terrorists in Yemen earlier this month was crucified on Good Friday, it has been claimed.

"Father Thomas Uzhunnalil, 56, was taken by Islamist gunmen, reportedly linked to ISIS, who attacked an old people's home in Aden, southern Yemen, killing at least 15 people, on March 4.

"The terrorists reportedly carried out the heinous murder on Good Friday, after threatening to do so earlier in the week, according to the Archbishop of Vienna. . . 

"Four gunmen posing as relatives of one of the guests at the home burst inside, killing four Indian nuns, two Yemeni female staff members, eight elderly residents and a guard."

Use "weapons of love" to fight evil of terrorism, pope says on Easter

Reuters   " 'With the weapons of love, God has defeated selfishness and death," the leader of the world's 1.2 billion Roman Catholic said from the same balcony from where he first appeared to the world on the night of his election on March 13, 2013.

"The 79-year-old Argentine pontiff urged people to channel the hope of Easter in order to defeat "the evil that seems to have the upper hand in the life of so many people".

"The pope condemned the Brussels attacks several times during the past week, including at a Good Friday service where he said followers of religions who carried out acts of fundamentalism or terrorism were profaning God's name." . . .

"He urged Europe "not to forget those men and women seeking a better future, an ever more numerous throng of migrants and refugees - including many children - fleeing from war, hunger, poverty and social injustice.' " . . .
