The Deception is Nearly Complete

Here we are, less than 20 days from election day, and the media's lovefest with Obama still has no bounds. Obama still receives no difficult or probing questions regarding his policies, his associations, or his background.

I've asked people to explain to me how Obama came to embrace black culture and the only answer I ever get back is because he's black. The color of your skin doesn't dictate what culture you embrace. Culture is learned. With all of the early influences on Obama's life coming from the white half of his family, primarily in Hawaii, how did Obama get his "ghetto creds"? It doesn't add up. There is something there that needs further investigation but that isn't going to happen.

Obama has a long list of unsavory characters that he has associated with over his adult life. One can explain away one, maybe even two, misguided associations, but Obama has many and at some point, one has to question his integrity because of all of these associations.

The first one to come to light was Rev. Wright, the white-hating, America-hating, Jew-hating leader of Obama's church. Obama claimed he had never heard Wright say the hateful, despicable things he had spewed from the pulpit in the 20 years that Obama attended Wright's church. Really? This guy, Wright, has been advocating anti-American sentiment, kill Whitey sentiment, and anti-semitism for 20 years and conveniently, Obama, not only managed to not be present on the Sundays that Wright got videoed preaching hate, but also managed to never hear about it or discuss it with his fellow church-goers. And Obama claimed Wright was an inspiration to him and the title of Obama's second book came from a Wright sermon. But now, Wright is just some guy that I went to church with. Before, Obama stated that he could no more denounce Wright than he could his own white grandmother.

Then, there's Tony Rezko, convicted of fraud recently, Chicago developer, and long-time friend of Obama. Obama and Rezko met in 1990 when Obama was still a student at Harvard Law School. Rezko offered Obama an unsolicited job offer from Rezko but Obama turned it down.

Obama did eventually take a job in 1993 with a small Chicago law firm, Davis Miner Barnhill, that represented developers that build low-income housing with government funds. One of the firm's not-for-profit clients -- the Woodlawn Preservation and Investment Corp., co-founded by Obama's then-boss Allison Davis -- was partners with Rezko's company in a 1995 deal to convert an abandoned nursing home at 61st and Drexel into low-income apartments. Obama spent around 32 hours on the job but apparently he and Rezko made some sort of connection.

In 1995, Obama began campaigning for a seat in the Illinois Senate. Among his earliest supporters: Rezko. Two Rezko companies donated a total of $2,000. Obama was elected in 1996 -- representing a district that included 11 of Rezko's 30 low-income housing projects. But Rezko's connection to Obama gets even deeper.

In 2003, Obama announced he was running for the U.S. Senate, and Rezko -- a member of Obama's campaign finance committee -- held a lavish fund-raiser June 27, 2003, at his Rezko's mansion. Shortly after getting elected, he and Rezko's wife, Rita, bought adjacent pieces of property from a doctor in Chicago's Kenwood neighborhood. The doctor sold the mansion to Obama for $1.65 million, $300,000 below the asking price. Rezko's wife paid full price, $625,000, for the adjacent vacant lot. Six months later, Obama paid Rezko's wife $104,500 for a strip of her land, so he could have a bigger yard. At the time, it had been widely reported that Tony Rezko was under federal investigation. But Rezko is just some guy that Obama met once.

Another hatemonger dressed as a man of the cloth is Pastor Michael Pfleger. Back in May, Pfleger, who has personally contributed to Obama's election campaign and preached at Obama's church as a guest as well as hosted Rev. Wright at his parish, advocated dragging out gun shop owners and killing them. And then, as if this wasn't enough, he then advocated killing legislators that support gun rights. You'd think that since Obama claims to be a friend to gun-owners that he would have sent back Pfleger's campaign contributions. He didn't and it wasn't just because he's not really a friend to gun-owners.

Obama's biggest elephant in the room seems to be his association with William Ayers and his wife, Bernadette Dohrn, the unconvicted terrorists that bombed our nation's capital in the 1970's. According to Obama, Ayers is just some guy that lives in his neighborhood. When questions have arisen regarding the relationship, Obama says that Ayers did all that old stuff back when Obama was 8 years old. (Yeah, well, then we should be more accepting of the Neo-Nazis because Hitler did all that old stuff before the Neo-Nazis were born.)

Ayers and Dohrn hosted a political 'coming out' party for Obama in the mid-1990's. Somehow, given the former Weatherman Underground members' rhetoric, I don't think they would have done this for someone that was not at least sympathetic to their cause. Ayers and Obama sat on a panel organized by Michelle Obama (another anti-America advocate). They served on the board of the Woods Foundation together for three years. The funds Obama and Ayers helped control at the Woods Foundation funneled thousands of dollars into both Rashid Khalidi's radical organization and the now-infamous Trinity United Church of Christ (Rev. Wright's and Obama's church.)

Although Ayers' criminal record is 'clean' because of the government's mishandling of the bombing case, his wife, Dohrn, was jailed for 7 months for not cooperating in a murder investigation. Dohrn often refers to America as 'the beast'. She and Ayers denounce, in their opinion, the United States' obsession with empire and our white supremacist way of life, quoting from Zhou Enlai, Mao Zedong's premier.

These two terrorists have not repented from their deeds of nearly 40 years ago and openly take credit for the bombings with Ayers stating that he wished he could've done more. But he's just some guy that lives in Obama's neighborhood.

Not necessarily the last of Obama's spurious relationships but the last one that I have time to discuss is ACORN. Obviously, ACORN is not a person but an organization but still paints a picture of the type of individuals with which Obama chooses to ally himself.

As I wrote in previous postings, ACORN is primarily a get-out-the-vote organization that is being investigated by as many as 17 states for voter registration fraud. It should be noted that ACORN has since its inception in the late 1970's fought for the Community Recovery Act and for less stringent requirements for mortgages for people who would not qualify for home loans.

Obama has stated

"First of all, my relationship to ACORN is pretty straightforward. It's probably 13 years ago, when I was still practicing law, I represented ACORN and my partner in that representation was the U.S. Justice Department in having Illinois implement what was called the 'Motor Voter' law, to make sure that people could go to DMV's and driver's license facilities to get registered. It wasn't being implemented. That was my relationship and is my relationship to ACORN."

But then, it was revealed that Obama had paid over $800,000 to ACORN during the campaign and his campaign had to revise his Federal Elections Comission financial reports because they had erroneously listed what ACORN did for that $800K.

"As an elected official, I've had interactions with them... But they are not advising our campaign."

Well, on that point, I believe Sen. Obama is telling the truth. But what isn't saying is whether he is advising ACORN on their voter registration efforts. And I believe he is which makes him complicitous in committing fraud. Why do I think that? In Obama's own words

"I've been fighting alongside ACORN on issues you care about my entire career..."

Oh, and if you wondered if Obama had any dealings with ACORN in the ensuing 13 years that he claimed he didn't do anything for them: The Chicago ACORN received grants of $45,000 (2000), $30,000 (2001), $45,000 (2001), $30,000 (2002), and $40,000 (2002)from The Woods Fund (The same fund that Obama and Ayers sat on? Say it ain't so!) Money talks, bullshit walks. Follow the money and you'll find the smoking gun.

Obama has tried and tried to distance himself from all of these associations and the media has by and large allowed him to do it. Only the few conservative news outlets and the internet have pushed Obama far enough into a corner to have to either denounce or deny the relationships. So far, the deception is working because not enough people are aware of these associations and have not made the connections.

We may wake up on November 5th and realize that we are living the nightmare of the radicals of 1960's & 70's running our country. They already control the legislative and for the most part, the judicial branches. Obama is their offspring, carefully nurtured and indoctrinated throughout his adult life. No wonder the liberals see him as 'The One.' No wonder the left sees him as the Messiah.

Won't someone tell the former fighter pilot that he's missing too many targets of opportunity? We need a conservative troop surge to avert this disaster.

And the cities will burn...

Given much thought about what would happen if Obama is not elected on November 4? Given the recent rise in the polls of the McCain-Palin ticket and the suddenly panicky reactions by Obama-Biden, the anointed one is no longer a shoe-in on Election Day.

For months now, it has been a foregone conclusion that Barack Obama was DESTINED to be President of the United States. Since the addition of Sarah Palin to the Republican ticket, however, things have turned around. Even black voters are starting to voice concerns that Obama might not win. And blacks are not happy about it.

For starters, blacks are nervous and angry because of a perception that if Obama doesn't win, it will be because of his race. The Wall-Street Journal published an article last week stated that

"My audience is upset," she said in an interview. "Some people said they would be so angry it would be reminiscent of the [1960s] riots -- that is how despondent they would be."

Riots? Because the black man didn't win? Is this another strong arm tactic by the left to force whites to either stay home on November 4th or vote for Obama? "Vote or Die?", as P-Diddy would say?

I believe that there will be riots if Barack Obama loses in November for several reasons. First, the left has always cultivated an entitlement mentality in minorities, particularly blacks. In other words, through affirmative action where the less-qualified minority is guaranteed a job or a scholarship or other appointment over a more-qualified white candidate, blacks have been taught by the left from birth that they are intellectually inferior to whites and need help getting ahead in life. And the election is no different. Obama is the only black applicant for President this election, so he should get it based solely on the color of his skin. So, on 5 November, should McCain win, in the eyes of a majority of blacks, they were cheated and will burn the cities to the ground.

Second, and this is another example of the strong arm tactics being employed by the left and being orchestrated by Obama himself, is the Chicago political machine. Headquartered in Chicago, home of the corrupt Daley Family Political Machine and Obama's "community organizer" roots, is the American Community Organizers for Reform Now (ACORN). ACORN is being investigated in several states for voter registration fraud.

So, we also see how Obama's community organizer roots are working for him in all of the key battleground states. Not surprisingly, Illinois, where ACORN started, is not a state that is investigating ACORN for voter registration fraud. So, how is this a strong arm tactic, you ask? Consider this - community organizing is nothing more than an urban Marxist revolution. Don't believe it?

Obama's training in community organizing came from the students/adherents of Saul Alinsky and his "direct action" methods. Alinsky wrote the book on American radical uprisings and Obama is his biggest student.

In the 1930s, Alinsky organized the Back of the Yards neighborhood in Chicago (made famous by Upton Sinclair's novel The Jungle on the allegedly horrific working conditions in the Union Stock Yards). He went on to found the Industrial Areas Foundation while organizing the Woodlawn neighborhood, which trained organizers and assisted in the founding of community organizations around the country. In Rules for Radicals (his final work, published in 1971 one year before his death), he addressed the 1960s generation of radicals, outlining his views on organizing for mass power. In the first chapter, opening paragraph of the book Alinsky writes, "What follows is for those who want to change the world from what it is to what they believe it should be. The Prince was written by Machiavelli for the Haves on how to hold power. Rules for Radicals is written for the Have-Nots on how to take it away". The documentary, "The Democratic Promise: Saul Alinsky and His Legacy," claims that "Alinsky championed new ways to organize the poor and powerless that created a backyard revolution in cities across America."

In his Rules for Radicals, Alinsky outlines his strategy in organizing, writing,

"There's another reason for working inside the system. Dostoevski said that taking a new step is what people fear most. Any revolutionary change must be preceded by a passive, affirmative, non-challenging attitude toward change among the mass of our people. They must feel so frustrated, so defeated, so lost, so futureless in the prevailing system that they are willing to let go of the past and change the future. This acceptance is the reformation essential to any revolution. To bring on this reformation requires that the organizer work inside the system, among not only the middle class but the 40 per cent of American families - more than seventy million people - whose income range from $5,000 to $10,000 a year [in 1971]. They cannot be dismissed by labeling them blue collar or hard hat. They will not continue to be relatively passive and slightly challenging. If we fail to communicate with them, if we don't encourage them to form alliances with us, they will move to the right. Maybe they will anyway, but let's not let it happen by default.."

(From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

So, perhaps some of these calls to radio programs and posts on blogs are being directed by ACORN to scare and intimidate voters to make sure Obama wins. What really puzzles me is that the mainstream media has made no mention anywhere of ACORN, despite the fact that Obama points to his community organizing days as evidence of his readiness to be President.

If Obama does win, he will have harnessed the same radical direct action used by previous adherents of the method. Perhaps you have heard of some of them?

Lenin, Hitler, Mao

Will we be scared enough to help add Obama to the list?
