Thoughts of Obama from Bama

Week 42: "Rolling Down the Track Faster Than a Runaway Train Towards Socialism”

“I hear the train a comin'It's rolling round the bendAnd I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when,I'm stuck in Folsom prison, and time keeps draggin' onBut that train keeps a rollin' on down to San Antone..When I was just a baby my mama told me. Son,Always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns.But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him dieWhen I hear that whistle blowing, I hang my head and cry” Johnny Cash

First and foremost Thoughts of Obama from Bama extends our condolences, thoughts and prayers to the families and friends of those killed by a cowardly Islamic Jihadist terrorist last Thursday at Fort Hood, Texas. We also send our best wishes for a speedy recovery to all the wounded. Their service and sacrifice are greatly appreciated.

Freedom and liberty took a gut shot this week as the US House of Representatives approved their Socialized Medicine Reform Bill Saturday night. Not a mortal wound but certainly a crippling blow to capitalism; free enterprise; our civil liberties; and our Democratic way of life.

Voting along straight Party lines the final tally was Socialist – 220; Republicans – 215. One deaf, dumb, and blind Republican from Louisiana voted with the Socialist. Must be a LSU grad (Hey Tigers, we just beat the hell out of you. Rammer Jammer Yellow Hammer…). The train wreck of the
Obama Administration and their comrades in Congress are definitely one step closer to realizing their Utopian Marxist dreams of a Socialist America and a single payer Government run Healthcare System.

Many Americans still can’t accept the fact that the current occupant of the Oval Office is a genuine Socialist. The sad truth is that even a cursory review of his writings, speeches and drug fogged school years reveals young Barack Husain Obama jumped on the Socialist train a long time ago.

Records are a tad sketchy but Thoughts of Obama from Bama has it on good authority that our future Socialist-in-Chief was indoctrinated at a very young age in not only Marxist/Socialist doctrine but also Islam. Growing up in Hawaii and Kenya our budding young Socialist was an active member of the following extremist organizations:

· Hawaiian Socialist Youth League
· Kenyan Socialist Youth League
· Future Marxist of America
· Che Guevara Fan Club
· Barbara Streisand Socialist Youth Choir
· Marx/Lenin World Domination Society
· Big Brother and Big Sister are Watching You Association
· Young Democrats
· Castro’s Socialist Cigar Officiando Club
· Children of the Chinese Revolution
· International Union of Socialist Youth
· Socialist Youth Front
· Comrades International
· Future Sheet Head Adorner’s of America Society

Those still not convinced of our Marxist/Leninist-in-Chief’s Socialist pedigree need look no further than the views expressed in his own words in two books, Dreams of My Father and The Audacity of Hope, both of which hit number 1on the Havana Times Best Sellers List and several public comments he has repeatedly made over the years. Following are a few examples:

· About his drug sub-culture days spent at Occidental College Obama wrote “There were enough of us on campus to constitute a tribe, and when it came to hanging out many of us chose to function like a tribe, staying close together, traveling in packs,” he further wrote. “It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.” He concluded: “To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists.”
· “It's not surprising, then, they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations." Definetly paraphrasing Karl Marx, “Religion is the Opiate of the People” while addressing a crowd of liberal elite boneheads in San Francisco.
· “I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.” Certainly comforting to hear from our Commander-in-Chief who is suppose to be conducting 2 wars against Islamic terrorist in Iraq and Afghanistan.
· Revealing his true position on Socialized Medicine "I happen to be a proponent of a single payer universal health care plan."
· “It's not that I want to punish your success. I just want to make sure that everybody who is behind you, that they've got a chance for success too. My attitude is that if the economy's good for folks from the bottom up, it's gonna be good for everybody. I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody.” Stating his advocacy of the classic Socialist economic tenant, the Redistribution of Wealth, to Joe the Plumber.
· “Their ain’t a dimes worth of difference between a Democrat and a Socialist” · “Socialism then; Socialism now; Socialism forever”
· “Keep Socialism alive, Keep Socialism alive, Great God Almighty, Keep Socialism alive”

Granted the last three might be a bit of a yarn but Thoughts of Obama from Bama is confidant if he didn’t actually say it he was damn sure thinking it.
In addition to Socialized Medicine a review of the Socialist Party of America’s Political Platform reveals an extremely troubling commonality with the President’s; Comrades Pelosi and Reid’s; and the Democrat Party’s policy initiatives. Major Democrat supported Socialist initiatives headed straight at us like a runaway locomotive include:

· The USA Socialist Party Platform: Advocates the "right" of adequate housing for everyone – Community Organizer Obama trained ACORN workers to secure mortgages for unqualified people in sufficient numbers and with the intent to collapse the housing and financial industries.
· The USA Socialist Party Platform: Believes in open borders and six-months residency as the only requirement for U.S. citizenship - Obama marched with illegal aliens in Chicago in -support of "comprehensive" immigration reform. Pelosi encourages criminal illegal aliens to’ ignore our laws and bilk the system. A felony deserving of criminal prosecution.
· The USA Socialist Party Platform: Demands a "livable guaranteed annual income”.Obama trained ACORN members to conduct seminars on the subject in cities around the country.
· The USA Socialist Party Platform: Calls for a "steeply graduated" Progressive tax policy - Obama has promised to increase the tax burden on the” rich”. Although defining exactly who is rich isn’t based on personal income but instead Government revenue requirements.
· The USA Socialist Party Platform: Wants unions to be reorganized without a secret ballot - Obama supports Card check and believes that labor unions should be allowed to organize without a secret ballot
· The USA Socialist Party Platform: Demands we tuck and run from Iraq like a scalded dog – Obama won’t acknowledge victory and dishonors the fallen and all that have sacrificed so much

Norman Mattoon Thomas was a leading American socialist, pacifist, and six-time Presidential candidate for the Socialist Party of America in the 1930’s and 1940’s. Following are his views of America’s Socialist transformation:

· "The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of "liberalism," they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened! "He went on to say: "I no longer need to run as a Presidential Candidate for the Socialist Party. The Democrat Party has adopted our platform."

This Socialist train roaring down the track sure as hell ain’t bound for glory. Our Socialist Revolutionary in-Chief’s actual destination is cradle to grave Big Government control, oppression, and intrusion in every aspect of our lives. The Socialist transformation of our great nation has already secured a strong toehold and is ever so stealthy establishing a tyrannical death grip on our God given liberties and freedoms.

High time we jumped this train, change tracks and ran the President and his Congressional Comrades out of office on the nearest rail.

A Final Thought.

The first Islamic terrorist attack on American soil since 9/11 occurred last Thursday during week 42 of the Obama Presidency. Nidal Malik Hasan; an Officer in the US Army; Man of Medicine; A convert to Islam; An obviously deranged, psychotic, pathological killer (Characteristics shared by most Islamic terrorist); declared a Jihad against his own Country, fellow soldiers, and from his perspective the Great Satan; Killing 13 and wounding 29 Americans at Fort Hood in central Texas; A horrific and cowardly act murdering and maiming dozens in the name of Allah; A vicious and coldblooded act of war by an Islamic Jihadist terrorist.

Our Commander-in-Chief’s response to this terrorist attack screams out for analysis and scrutiny:

1. The President’s first public comments took place at a scheduled Press Conference following a Seminar at The Interiors Department. His opening remarks were troubling and bizarre.

Before mentioning the terrorist attack (Our words, not his) he rambled on for 2- 3 minutes just standing behind that podium smiling and waving like he had good sense. He seemed more than content to praise the success of the meeting and give shout outs to folks in the audience.

When he finally got around to the attack there was no mention of a terrorist; the first terrorist attack on the homeland since 9/11; or the Islamist Jihadist responsible.

He did extend his condolences and warned the rest of us not to jump to any conclusions. Translation – when we all find out the gunman is a Muslim with ties to al-Qaeda don’t automatically assume he’s an Islamic Jihadist terrorist – as Political Correctness is priority one in these types of sensitive situations.

2. The President delivered an eloquent and well written speech at the Memorial Service held a Fort Hood on Tuesday. He made warm and fitting tributes to the fallen. He also displayed what appeared to be true empathy for the family and friends of those gunned downed by this madman.

He again conspicuously failed to mention this was a terrorist attack; The first terrorist attack on the homeland since 9/11; This was an act of war; We would hold those who inspired, supported, and carried out this act of war responsible.

Either Presidential Political Correctness run amuck or a much more insidious response from our Commander-in-Chief consistent with previous remarks from his book Dreams of My Father can explain his truly bewildering reaction to the terrorist attack at Fort Hood.

“I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.” Barack H Obama

Not exactly the call to arms we were hoping to hear from our President as we continue our global war with Muslim extremist and Islamic Jihadist.
