What is happening to our Republic?
"Treacherous leaders", "propaganda network." When one hears or reads these words it usually comes from the political apparatus of some third world dictator, not the president of the United States. But that’s exactly where they came from, and it wasn;t some harsh words for the leader of Iran, North Korea or Venezuela.
The Obama apparatus used these terms to demagogue his political opponents. This kind of language has never been used in the history of American politics. This organization is calling on its apparatus to call on their Senators on September 11 to pass the so called "Pubic Option" and "fight back against our own Right-Wing Domestic Terrorists." An amazing affront to the American people on the day we remember and mourn those whose lives were lost in the worst terrorist attack in this nations’ history.
His political apparatus is sending lesson plans to teachers to "guide" the classroom discussion both before and after the broadcast. This has all been characterized as message to "challenge students to work hard in school, to not drop out and to meet short-term goals like behaving in class, doing their homework."
Yet, what is the hidden goal? To build a relationship with children to disarm them and perhaps even divide them and their parents? We’ve seen this happen in other totalitarian societies. Nikita Kruschev warned America that communism would destroy her “from within.” Gain control of the classroom, and you have control of the nation.
"The philosophy of the school room in one generation will be the philosophy of government in the next," opined Abraham Lincoln. That works both ways. Obama’s guide, Saul Alinsky, and his friend, William Ayres, both taught that the battle is won in the classroom.
Now, with the battle for the future of America enjoined by the right, Obama and his minions are reaching for our very soul as they make a bold grab for our children. The question for us is, "will we stand idly by and allow this disgraceful and undemocratic, yes, un-American, political ploy in our children's classrooms go unchallenged, or will we stand and declare, 'Enough!'"
The administration already has a program to use the classroom to spread their message to children about the 2010 census. Some would say the purpose is more sinister, to spy on their parents. They have already called on American citizen to spy on each other and report "fishy" email and conversations to the White House.
They have taken bold measures to nationalize part of our finance and manufacturing sectors through "bail outs" and seek to take hold of 15% of our economy through nationalization of health care. In November 2008 the majority of voters succumbed to the sweet elixir of “hope and change.”
Is this the "hope and change" they wanted? To turn the world’s most successful democracy towards a socialist dictatorship? These may seem to be harsh words. But are we willing to speak soft platitudes while our nation is destroyed "from within." I pray not.

Change, Obama's positions vary minute by minute
As recent news events and the current political cycle has demonstrated, disgusting images of anyone on the left are hate speech and those committing such acts must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Arguments, ideologies and even general statements that differ from the leftist “party line” are deemed at their core racist, intolerant, disgusting, lies and without basis. Even when it is shown that those statements are rooted in fact backed up with quotes and even recordings showing the statements to be factual.
Barack Obama was only 8, so the story line goes, when Bill Ayres committed his heinous acts, there for he cannot be held responsible, I can accept that. But Obama was in his 30’s when he sat on committees and boards with Ayers, conceding to and helping to promote Ayres views of America while accepting Ayres help in launching his own political career. The Obama campaign would have us believe the candidate barely knew Ayres.
For 20 years Obama sat in the pews of the Chicago Trinity United Church while Jeremiah Wright spewed hate for the principles of America and directed that hate towards 74% of Americans who are white. Obama counseled with Wright and calls Wright his spiritual mentor. Yet during all that time Obama claims he knew nothing of the racist views and hatred espoused by Wright. When confronted with it, Obama conveniently threw his mentor of 20 years “under the bus.”
Now the story line goes that it was 7 years ago when Obama made statements of support for PLO spokesman Rashid Khalidi calling Khalidi his "friend and frequent dinner companion." That was so long ago and now the Obama campaign spins out, “he does not share Khalidi's views.”
Of course, he didn't mean "spreading the wealth" when he said those words so clearly to Joe "the Plumber" Wurzelbacher. What he really meant was tax fairness.
He doesn't promote or support socialism or Marxism. But, as stated in a 2001 interview, equal outcome for all is desirable and even, in his view, a basic societal right that the US Supreme Court has failed to ensure. According to Obama our nations highest court failed to "break free from the essential constraints" of our Constitution. Therefore the Constitution itself is, in his view, fundamentally flawed and should be "thrown under the bus."
The Obama campaign dismisses the socialist characterization of such statements as a "distraction." The spokesperson says Obama was speaking of the "civil rights movement – and the kind of work that has to be done on the ground to make sure that everyone can live out the promise of equality" and "has nothing to do with Obama's economic plan."
Excuse me. His 2001 statements are fundamental to his current tax and wealth redistribution policies.
I recently heard Obama campaign spokesperson Bill Burton excuse a statement by the candidate as inconsequential because it occurred 2 weeks previously. Next we’ll be told to forget what was said in the previous sentence because it just didn’t happen that way.
So we are required to make excuses for and accept a new story line a day for candidate Obama who refuses to defend at face value even one of his controversial stands. If we fail to accept his views we are characterized as racist, intolerant, dysfunctional and without merit.
I suppose in an Obama administration free speech will still reign as long as it mirrors their party line. If not, you may well end up in an gulag, Obama style.
