Constitution

[phuloi]

Article 2, Section 1 of the United States Constitution “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

“I think that we can say that the Constitution reflected the enormous blind spot in this culture that carries on until this day and that the framers had that same blind spot. I don’t think the two views are contradictory to say that it was a remarkable political document that paved the way for where we are now and to say that it also reflected the fundamental flaw of this country that continues to this day.” Obama.

Just exactly what did he mean by ‘Enormous Blind Spot’? Or ‘The Fundamental Flaw of This Country That Continues…’?

My read is that the framers, in BHO`s view, left out his socialistic ideals of distributing Americas wealth to the have-nots. Let`s face it: He and his ilk hate capitalism-plain and simple and the Flaw that they see is just that; CAPITALISM! He/they would much prefer a European system of government, trouble is-the framers, Thank God, did not see it that way and our Constitution reflects same.

How can you faithfully defend and uphold something you believe is lacking or flawed. He should not be President just because of these statements. He is by his own admission a socialist (socialism and communism are one and the same) and wants our country change its constitution into something more akin to Sweden or Dennmark. He should not be president, yet the American Public is foolishly bought into his dogma. How sad. I believe if he is elected he will be a one term president because of his radical view will be exposed and he'll loose many friends.

Griz has raised an interesting point, one that I never thought of. Perhaps Barry's paradigm of the US Constitution is that it is a readily malleable tin sheet, subject to the whims of the moment or the pseudo-eloquence of the snake charmer in chief. A President's basic job is NOT to have an agenda of how and when and why to amend the Constitution. And if one can't honestly - and I stress that word - support and defend the Constitution, then one should just quit now and rejoin the other socialists, unrepentant American terrorists, Chicago thugs and other felons, and openly anti-American preachers with whom he has associated for the past 20+ years.

Obama's Marxist Past


Why does the media refuse to investigate Obama's Marxist past? Let's look at the evidence:

1. Obama's mother, Stanley Dunham, appears to have been a communist. In this otherwise unremarkable Chicago Tribune article about Obama's mother, it is revealed that Ms. Dunham grew up attending a radical Seattle church known as "the little Red church on the hill" and that her friends referred to her as a "fellow traveler," which is code for communist sympathizer. The same article also notes that the chairman of the school board and several of Ms. Dunham's high school teachers were communists.

2. Obama's father, Barak H. Obama, also appears to have been a Marxist. In fact, the elder Obama penned a scholarly article entitled "Problems Facing Our Socialism" in which he argued in favor of government planning/restribution of resources and lauded an article entitled "Appeals for Confiscation in Economic Development."

3. Then there is the issue of Obama's childhood mentor, Frank Marshall Davis, who was an open member of the Communist Party USA. In his autobiography "Dreams From My Father," Obama describes Mr. Davis as "a poet" who was full of "hard-earned knowledge."

4. Next there is Obama's time as a "community organizer," a "profession" invented by Saul Alinsky. The Saul_Alinsky reveals that in his famous book "Rules For Radicals," Alinsky explained that "community organizing" was really the first step towards revolution:

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].

And make no mistake, Obama himself was an Alinsky man. In 1990, Obama contributed a chapter to a book entitled, "After Alinsky: Community Organizing in Illinois." You can view it here.

5. Let's not forget Obama's adult mentor for 20 years, Reverend Wright. As Reverend Wright himself has explained, the black liberation theology preached in Obama's church was largely derived from the liberation theology movement in El Salvador and Nicaragua, which was Marxist and aligned with the Sandinista movement.

6. Finally, there are William Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn, in whose home Obama's political career was launched. Ayers and Dohrn, of course, founded the radical group The Weathermen, whose founding document called for the establishment of a "white fighting force" to be allied with the "Black Liberation Movement" and other "anti-colonial" movements to achieve "the destruction of US imperialism and achieve a classless world: world communism."

Now, don't get me wrong. I am not claiming Obama is a full-blown communist or controlled by the Kremlin, but if the American people truly understood his background, I think he wouldn't even stand a chance. Too bad the media's in the tank for Obama.

Say... isn't there some more dirt they can dig up about Sarah Palin's children?
