Obama practically TOLD us he is a Marxist!

In Obama's own words:(short mp3 file) http://tobuds.com/blogs/images/obama_marxist.mp3

"To avoid being mistaken for such a sell-out, I chose my friends carefully...the more politically active black students, the foreign students, the Chicanos, the Marxists, professors, and structural feminists, and punk-rock performance poets..."

His friends: Defined Below - In the order that he mentioned them (with original source hyperlinks)

Politically active black students - Black Students Organization (BSO) is a cultural organization on Columbia's campus that Obama said he once belonged. It has existed since the 1960s as a response to social and racial tensions that occurred both on campus and throughout the country. http://www.wikicu.com/Black_Students_Organization

Foreign students - There had been some controversy as to whether Obama received government funds as a foreign exchange student (as an Indonesian citizen) as his mother's second husband was from Indonesia and supposedly legally adopted "Barry" Obama. See " Barack Obama AKA Barry Soetoro - http://tobuds.com/blogs/blog1.php/2009/09/04/barack-obama-aka-barry-soetoro

Chicanos - Term widely used during the "Chicano Movement" (Mexican American Civil Rights Movement) amongst Mexican-born or Mexican-American people in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Usually used as a self-identify term (I don't believe Obama is part Hispanic). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicano_Movement

Marxists - Marxism is the political philosophy and economic worldview based upon a materialist interpretation of history, a Marxist analysis of capitalism, a theory of social change, and an atheist view of human liberation derived from the work of Karl Marx. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marxism

Professors - (Bill Ayers - http://tobuds.com/blogs/blog6.php - Their connections, with pictures)

Structural feminists - Uses the insights of various epistemological movements, including psychoanalysis, linguistics, and political theory (Marxist and post-Marxist theory). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feminist#Post-structural_and_postmodern_feminism

Punk-rock performance poets - Patti Smith suggests in the documentary "25 Years of Punk" that the hippies and the punk rockers were linked by a common anti-establishment mentality. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punk_rock#Philosophy

If it looks like a communist, talks like a communist, and walks like a communist...then it must be a communist.

Wake up America! Communists really are in the White House! - We were warned a year ago! -

Wall Street Journal (Oct 17, 2008) "Americans voting for 'change' should know they may get far more than they ever imagined."
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122420205889842989.html?mod=googlenews_wsj

Starting in 2009, the United States became a two-party nation: The American Party (Republicans) and the Communist Party (Democrats)

Why is everybody so damn afraid to use the "C" word? People can be so cowardly sometimes. Obama and his administration are a bunch of damn communists! Say it! COMMUNISTS! And YOU voted them into office! That's right, thanks to the young voters of this country, the Democratic Party has officially become the Communist Party. Those "Dems" should at least call it for what it is, instead of hiding behind a traditional party name. They didn't come right out and tell you this because they thought that "Main Street America" wouldn't vote for them.

Some people, when they think of Communism or Marxism, may think back to their parent's days when characters like John Edgar Hoover of the FBI were spying on political dissenters and activists, and amassing secret files on political leaders such as JFK and Martin Luther King.

Or they may think of the years of McCarthyism, known as the "Second Red Scare", which occurred during the early Cold War days, when fears of a communist influence on American institutions and espionage were suspected by Soviet agents. Hollywood had been heavily investigated and some actors and producers were black-listed.

People generally born before the Berlin Wall fell or earlier (before the Reagan years) aren't really very familiar with the ideologies of Communism or Marxism, thinking maybe they are obsolete governments from the distant past, or practiced in countries far away from us. They might think of Russia or China, or they might think of the color RED.

Or maybe they were taught these ideologies by their professors in college, bundled into phrases like "Social Democrats" or "The Progressive Movement". Some may think these are extinct ideas, lost to the anti-Viet Nam War era when demonstrators and college protesters in the 1960's and 70's carried signs and participated in sit-ins. A time when their parents were "hippies", smoked pot, and went to rock concerts at the State Parks - and listened to their music on old-fashion devices like "turntables" and "8-track tape players".

Some may think Communist and Marxist beliefs are "cool", or maybe they really believe the ideologies hold real value for reforming societies....But then again, maybe they were just brainwashed (indoctrinated) like the kids in the 1960's and 1970's - exulting flower power and LSD, chanting slogans like "Make love, not war" and "Tune in, turn on, and drop out". Joining groups they thought were cool and "life altering", like Hare Krishna and soliciting money at airports. (I believe Christian Science is the new "cool" religion.) In the "old days" even the Beatles experimented with Hinduism and Maharishi (Transcendental Meditation and Yoga, while smoking the "bud" in water pipes.)

Labor Unions No Longer Represent Average Working Americans

The "Reds" are here! Marxism is still alive and influential in America. It's not an established political party like the Republican or Democratic, but the ideologies are referred to in code words and have quietly infiltrated the Democratic party under the far-left-wing liberal guises such as "green" and "progressive". They are activist moments, and backed by extreme radicals groups, many being labor parties like SEIU (these labor movements are FAR different from the ones your parents may have once belonged.)

Unions, like the SEIU today, are not real trade unions per se, where one first joins as a laborer, then schools in a particular skill or trade as an apprentice, advances to Journeyman, and eventually graduates as a Master (as in, "Master of all trades"). There are all kinds of unions...Steel Workers, United Auto Workers, Bricklayers, etc.

The unions, corporations, and politicians have all become cozy bed-fellows over the years. (In the old days I remember my shop steward bragging to me about his kickbacks when I was with the Carpenters and Joiners of America Union back in the 1970s.) The unions are no longer the protectors of worker's rights like they once used to be in the early days - - - when they worked with government to enact labor laws to keep 12 year old children and minorities from having to work 16-hour days in the coal mines in Pennsylvania - and in the sweat shops in NYC for minimum wages back in the early 1900's...unions have become BIG BUSINESS unto themselves, the only difference being is that they're no longer being ran by the Mafia, (like the Longshoreman were). They're now run by "business reps" who wear suits and ties...and manipulating the ignorant to do their dirty work on the frontlines for them.

Many of these "worker unions" today are organized and managed more like political activist groups...and with a "Communist/ Marxist" ideological government as it's ultimate goal. And many are corrupt, taking union dues and miss-managing and/or manipulating pensions - stealing.

"Union Steward" or "Shop Steward", "Union Rep" or "Business Rep", they're are all the same...and probably in cahoots with big business and working for an activist or "community organizer".

Bill Ayers - Influence Through Subtle Indoctrination

There was much controversy about Bill Ayers during Obama's campaign...not just because he was once a domestic terrorist in the Weather Underground and on the FBI's Most Wanted list, but because many people from the 1960's (such as Bill Ayers and Bernardine Rae Dohrn) still hold strong Communist and Marxist beliefs, and they became educators in our institutions of higher learning...and still espouse the virtues of these socialistic ideologies. They are anti-American in every sense. This is not the ranting of a crazy man, it's true...they haven't denied this...because they can't. (See my blog here: Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn - Cold Case Files

Barack Obama and his top administrators (czars and advisors) are mostly Marxists

Obama's lean towards The Green Party (or Socialist Alternative) may have been moslty through his professor, Roger Boesche (a political scientist at Occidental College), who had Obama in two classes: one on American political thought and another on European political philosophy...and especially the course on the American Populist Movement of the 19th century, a bottom-up campaign for economic justice.

Most of the people who got Obama elected were from the generation of educators and professors who taught their philosophies (Marxism, most softly, like "social change", or "progressive democrats"). And the young people who voted and got him elected were taught by these people. The old-school Democrats are a little behind the times and didn't see this slow and methodical infiltration into their party by these radical "reformers", because they (Obama and Company) used guilt and wrapped their ideology in code phrases such as "tolerance" and "diversity" and "green" - - - using NICE WORDS so people wouldn't oppose them or ridicule them for fear of being labeled "anti" to any of those things, or called a racist, or just plain old-fashioned. The "blue-dogs" and conservatives were all bamboozled (and now, might feel foolish for their nativity).

But we were all fooled! The Marxists slipped in before the door to Congress was fully closed and they have divided and multiplied like cancer cells in our government ever since. Left-wing federal judges are now beong appointed! Those that voted for Obama (and who didn't know Obama's and his colleague's perverted ideological views) are slowly realizing their mistake. At first, they couldn't believe it, "No way! There could never be Communists in the White House!" They were in denial, not wanting to admit their mistake, and maybe feeling embarrassed - or maybe feeling horrified that such a thing could ever happen. But it did.

Even the Russians realize this - more so than the American people! Wake up America!

Is It Too Late?

One need only look back at what Obama and his administration has been saying and doing all along. All one needs to do is to slip off their blindfold and see with open eyes. It's happened, Marxists are running the government now. They (Obama and friends) are probably still giddy with disbelief themselves - that they had actually taken the White House! And everybody is now wondering how Obama and his team passed a FBI vetting process. The only way to rectify this is to clean house, meaning every Democrat that voted for the healthcare plan...that is Obama's Big Time Bomb on this country. Some members in Congress may have not realized, but to be safe, it's better to remove them all and start over...just in case.

I realize this might all sound extreme, and it is, because the last Presidential election and it's aftermath is about as extreme as it gets...we have Communists and Marxist running the United States of America, and serious damage is being done as I post this article. Wake up America, our culture is being politically moved so far to the left that it's going to fall off the edge of the earth! Admit your mistakes and take action, or we are all screwed!

(Pictured below) The German Democratic Republic (East Germany) 100-Mark banknote (with Karl Marx's portrait) circulated from 1964 until reunification with West Germany in July 1990 (The "Euro" was the first step to a global currency). Notice the word "Democratic" in the name of a Communist country. Political parties and organizations use it too - "Democratic" sounding more like "Democracy" instead of "Marxist" - it's an over used code word, like "Social Democrat", to mean Socialist, Communist, or Marxist.

Oddly, since the Berlin Wall came down, Eastern Europeans have become more like Capitalists and the Western Europeans became more like Communists!
