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.

. . . "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.'

"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.' " . . .

Did a North Dakota community really name its landfill after President Obama?

Snopes

In an overwhelming 35-10 vote, the state Senate advanced a bill naming a 650-acre site currently under construction after the nation's 44th president. Governor Jack Dalrymple is expected to sign the measure into law Tuesday. 

When completed, the Barack Obama Memorial Landfill will be the largest waste disposal site in North Dakota, and the 17th largest in the United States. It will be especially rich in toxic waste from the local petroleum and medical industries. 

"We wanted to do something to honor the president," says Republican State Senator Doug Perlman, who was the lead sponsor of the bill. "And I think a pile of garbage is a fitting tribute to Obama's presidency."

. . . "This article, like all articles on the Daily Currant, is a piece of fiction. A disclaimer on the Daily Currant web site clearly states that "our stories are purely fictional." Of course, that disclaimer is not included when the story is shared via email, Facebook, or Twitter. 

"In addition to the disclaimer, the article is plainly false due to the use of fictitious quotes from imaginary people. Doug Perlman and Allison Mitchell, two politicians quoted in the article, are not senators from North Dakota. " . . .

Obama's 'National Lampoon Latin American Vacation'

. . . "Indeed, the majority of Obama’s speech essentially was meant to lower the esteem and prestige of the United States and to reduce its stature in the eyes of the Cuban people to curry favor and conform more closely to the communist nation of the Castros.' .  .  . 

Larry Klayman

.. . . "It is now even more apparent that Obama, being in his last year of an arrogant, belligerent, divisive and highly destructive presidency, believes that he can do whatever he wants, regardless of appearances. He is consciously disparaging the United States as his final payback for what he views as hundreds of years of continuing racial discrimination toward African-Americans and, more recently, his fellow Muslims. Like the low-class staffs of Bill and Hillary Clinton that vandalized computers and furniture on their way out the White House door, to show their disdain for incoming President George W. Bush after his victory in the court case challenging the ballot count in Florida, Obama’s persecution complex and latent hatred has caused him to trash our Judeo-Christian national heritage and national security as his final days in the peoples’ house hopefully comes to an end.

"This president, put simply, is a national and international disgrace. Nothing more needs to be said. We the People must now go forth to rebuild our great nation and seek justice for the severely damaging and frequently “criminal actions” of Obama and his comrades.

David Kupelian explores what it really means to 'take up your cross'

"THE PASSION OF THE CHRISTIAN"

World Net Daily

“And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s, the same shall save it. For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?”– Mark 8:34-37
“And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.”– Luke 9:23
“And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.”– Matthew 10:38

 

 . . . "No, if God wanted to demonstrate His love for us, and at the same time provide us with the perfect, ultimate example of real love for our fellow man, what could be a more perfect expression of love than the willing suffering and death of His Son – Who while dying asked God to forgive His tormentors? The sheer beauty, logic and power of it is transcendent. If you’re looking for love in this loveless world, that’s it." . . .

Grayson: Reid 'lied about me'. Karma or what?

A plague on both their houses.

The Hill

. . . "In the statement, Reid accused Grayson of using his position as a congressman to “unethically promote his Cayman Islands hedge funds, and he should drop out of the Senate race immediately.”

“ 'It’s pathetic that somebody would make a statement like that based upon a false accusation,” Grayson told The Hill’s Molly K. Hooper. “My goodness, it’s in Ten Commandments — thou shall not bear false witness*. And that’s exactly what he’s done; he lied about me.”

"The House Ethics Committee is considering whether to open an investigation into Grayson and has said it will make a decision by April 5. The Florida Senate primary — in which Grayson is seeking to upset the establishment choice, Rep. Patrick Murphy (D-Fla.) — will be held on March 15." . . .

*Ask Grayson how much he enjoyed Reid's made up public claim that Mitt Romney hadn't paid his taxes in years. Alan Grayson might be a good choice for a Sanders ticket. "False witness" Grayson says? What about this statement of his: "Republicans want you to die quickly"?
