Withdraw Grants To Libyan Charities:
"The Obama Administration plans to give $400,000 in funding to a Libyan
charity run by the Gadhafi family, and U.S. Rep. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.)
wants the grant withdrawn."
The socialist seduction of America:
"While traveling across that communist country [what was then Yugoslavia],
I got into a conversation with a lady passenger about freedom and 'basic
rights.' I explained that in America, we have fundamental freedoms of speech,
of the press, of religion, association, travel and so on, as well as freedom
of opportunity – that is, to succeed or fail, but also to be able to keep
the fruits of our labors and to be free of the tyranny of a stifling and
predatory government. She countered, with words very close to these: 'I
know that's what you believe in America. But in my society, we believe
basic rights include the right to a job, to housing, to health
care, to the basics of life....'
"...their worldview, so prevalent
in America today – especially at the pinnacle of power with President Obama,
his whack-job czars and advisers... brings about a great deal of evil. Indeed,
upwards of 100 million people were murdered during the last century,
crushed by the madness that besets nations that give themselves over
to the seduction of collectivism....
"How,
in America of all places, did we get to a point where the rare and inexpressibly
precious freedoms millions of our warriors have fought, bled and died for
count for so very little? How did we get to where a worldview that is basically
– let's say it out loud – communist, or socialist, is resonating with so
many Americans? And how can the president of the United States get away
with appointing a self-proclaimed communist revolutionary like Van Jones
as his personal adviser....
"Truth
is, many of us are disturbingly close to Van Jones in our view of life –
or if not to his revolutionary street tactics, then at least we're close
to the reality-challenged socialist idealism of Aubrey O'Day and the lady
on the train. ....We're meant to be guided and inspired – and rewarded and
chastised – by God, not by deluded, egotistical politicians who, in their
extreme dysfunction, somehow imagine their role is to be our god."

Czar's 'communist manifesto'
scrubbed from Net -- Founded group with 'commitment to fundamental ideas
of Marxism-Leninism':
"Last week, WND reported the official communist-oriented manifesto of a
radical group founded by Obama's environmental adviser, Van Jones, was published
in full on the Internet. Just hours later, the manifesto was removed and
the entire website was taken down....
"
Van
Jones, special adviser for green jobs, enterprise and innovation to
the White House Council on Environmental Quality, is an admitted
black nationalist and radical communist. Jones was the leader and
founder of a radical group, the communist revolutionary organization Standing
Together to Organize a Revolutionary Movement, or STORM. STORM's official
manifesto, titled, 'Reclaiming Revolution,' had been published on the Internet.
...the manual describes Jones' organization as having a 'commitment to
the fundamental ideas of Marxism-Leninism.'
'"We
agreed with Lenin's analysis of the state and the party,' reads the
manifesto. 'And we found inspiration in the revolutionary strategies
developed by Third World revolutionaries like Mao Tse-tung....' 'We
also saw our brand of Marxism as, in some ways, a reclamation.'"

Obama’s Civilian Troops:
"...young people, educated in a system that allowed Bill Ayers to become
a 'distinguished professor' of education, heed the siren call of Obama's
Organizing for America.....Today's communists, like Bill Ayers, work in
our schools aiming to keep American students in the same level of ignorance
and tribalism as the peasants of Russia and South America. They began their
nefarious deeds in the 1960s. With help from the Soviet Union, they fomented
hatred of the United States and then successfully groomed a generation to
colonize the schools. The SDS (Students for a Democratic Society), of which
Ayers was a member, spelled out their strategies in their position paper,
the Port Huron Statement. Employing the old Soviet strategy of "boring from
within," they focused on "an overlooked seat of influence": the university.
Divested of their history, literacy, and ability to reason, their students
became the mob that elected Barack Obama."

began in more than a century ago, when Fabian Socialists began to

'1984': It's here:
"These words, written by
George Orwell in
his prophetic novel, '1984,'
describe a dystopian future in which an all-powerful government watches
its citizens night and day. A socio-political and omniscient Party rules...
and it is ever vigilant for signs of disloyalty, of dissent, among the subjugated
populace. Any word or deed that can in any way be deemed an impropriety
in the eyes of the stern, totalitarian government of Big Brother is an offense
so serious that all citizens, including their own children, are encouraged
to inform on the offender. Spying on and then reporting your own
parents, ensuring that they will be hauled away into the night to be tortured,
re-educated and then executed, is deemed a noble act....
"Britain's
astonishing 'Secure Beneath the Watchful Eyes' campaign is just one of many
disturbing trends in invasive government surveillance among the British....
'China's Ministry of Supervision'... announced the discipline watchdog
will open the unified national informant hotline '12388' on June 26 for
the public to report discipline offences of civil servants and officials.'...
"When
Homeland Security declares that almost all conservatives and libertarians
in the country are domestic terrorists, Orwell's nightmare of a government
making dissenters 'unpersons' is only too real.... When your president urges
you to report to the government any citizens who dare to question his socialist
schemes, asking you to send an e-mail to flag@whitehouse.gov, technology
has ushered us into Orwell's past future..." See

Here Comes Socialism: "We will shortly become... a socialist
democracy in which the government dominates the economy, determines private-sector
priorities and offers a vastly expanded range of services.... [Obama] will create
a permanent electoral majority that does not pay taxes, but counts on
ever-expanding welfare checks."
Comparative vs. Cost-Effectiveness:
"Indeed, those who oppose health care reform argue that any attempt to set up
a Comparative-Effectiveness Institute (as presidential candidate Barack Obama,
among others, has suggested) inevitably puts us on a slippery slope headed straight
toward making medical decisions based on 'cost-effectiveness.' Before long,
the conservatives say, Medicare will be denying treatments simply because they
are too pricey.'"

'Social Justice': Code Word for
Anti-Americanism: "What
caused young evangelicals, the children of the so-called 'religious right,'
to change their moral imperatives so dramatically? Most likely it's the attitudes
and decision-making they learned in the public schools....
"The vast
influence of the so-called 'father of modern education,'
John Dewey, had already spread
disdain for objective truth... A socialist and signer of the Humanist Manifesto,
Dewey viewed education as a process of
socializing the child....
"In the
1970s, Sidney Simon's best-seller
Values Clarification taught students to cast off their parents' values and
make their own choices....
William Ayers
became a leading advocate of 'social justice' teaching, i.e., getting students
to believe that they are victims of an unjust, oppressive and racist America."

New Spread the Wealth Grading Policy:
[Ilustration by a college professor]
"...those who score above 90 on the first exam will have points deducted and
given to students at the bottom of the grade distribution. For example, if a
student gets a 99, I will then deduct nine points and give them to the person
with the lowest grade. If a person scores 95 I will then deduct five points
and give them to the person with the second lowest grade.... And so on. My point,
rather obviously, is that any points above 90 are really not needed since you
have an 'A' regardless of whether you score 90 or 99....
"
Those
who are failing, however, need the points – not unlike the failing banks and
automakers that need money to avoid the danger of bankruptcy.... By the end
of the semester I will abandon any formal guidelines and just redistribute points
in a way that seems just, or fair, to me. I will not rely upon any standards
other than my very strong and passionate feelings concerning social justice.
In the process, I will not merely seek to eliminate inequality..."

The Socialist Phenomenon - Preface:
"...socialism (at least at first sight) turns out to be a glaring contradiction.
Proceeding from a critique of a given society, accusing it of injustice,
inequality and lack of freedom, socialism proclaims... a far greater
injustice, inequality and slavery! Noble Utopias... usually evoke nothing
more than a reproach for their 'utopian' nature...But it is enough merely to
open these books to be astonished by the scene: disobedient citizens turned
into slaves; informers; work and life
in paramilitary detachments and under close supervision... and especially
the details of general leveling..."

the Bible: "'Democracy
demands that the religiously motivated translate their concerns into universal,
rather than religion-specific, values....' [Barack Obama]
"...socialist
change agents still believe that with a bit more psychology, sociology, surveillance
and assessments -- all part of re-education -- the dream can be accomplished.
But they are wrong! Whether subtle or coercive, the march toward solidarity
will bring terror and totalitarianism, not peace and plenty. And it will surely
raise hostility toward Christianity, which is incompatible with the rising socialist
system. As Marx and Engels wrote in The Communist Manifesto (1848): "...communism
abolishes eternal truths.... and all morality..."

Lured to Disaster:
"Behind the housing boom and bust was one of those alluring but undefined phrases
that are so popular in politics-- 'affordable housing.' It is hard for me to
know specifically what politicians are talking about when they use this phrase.
But then politics is about evoking emotions, not examining specifics.
In looking back over my own life, I find it hard to think of a time when I didn't
live in affordable housing. When I first left home, back in 1948, I rented a
room about 4 by 8 feet, costing $5.75 a week. Since my take-home pay was $22.50,
that was affordable housing....
"The
difference is that today there is some arbitrary percentage of one's income
that sets the limit to what the government will consider to be affordable housing.
It used to be 25 percent but it might be 30 percent or some other proportion.
But, whatever the percentage, it is no longer the individual's responsibility
to choose housing that fits within that limit. It is somehow the taxpayers'
job to make up the difference, when someone chooses housing whose cost exceeds
that magic number.
"It
is certainly no longer considered to be the individual's own responsibility
to acquire the work skills and experience to be able to earn enough to afford
better housing as the years passed. Why do that, when the government can simply
'spread the wealth around'...?" See

Obama climate czar has socialist
ties: "Until last week,
Carol M. Browner, President-elect Barack Obama's pick as global warming czar,
was listed as one of 14 leaders of a socialist group's
Commission for a Sustainable World Society which calls for "global governance"
and says rich countries must shrink their economies to address climate
change.
"
By
Thursday, Mrs. Browner's name and biography had been removed from Socialist
International's Web page, though a photo of her speaking June 30 to the
group's congress in Greece was still available. ....
'"Carol Browner was chosen
to help the president-elect coordinate energy and climate policy because she
understands that our efforts to create jobs, achieve energy security and combat
climate change demand integration... cooperation....and partnership with the
private sector." See
The Revolutionary Roots of the

While Carol Browner's bio and

SI Commission for a Sustainable

has been established by the Socialist International [SI] to articulate
from the world of progressive politics a way forward to address global environmental
concerns, climate change and the issues of governance required to deal

USA persona non grata in Latin
America: "Celebrated
by the left as a display of 'independence,' the distancing of the continent
from the USA is far from that: it is wholesale and overt submission to the
expansionist strategy of the Russians, Chinese and Iranians. In recent years,
the Chinese President Hu Jintao spent more time in Latin America than George
W. Bush, increasing trading and diplomatic relations with several countries
on the continent. Mahmud Ahmadinejad already has an invitation to visit Brazil,
and Russian warships are sailing merrily about in joint maneuvers with Venezuelan
warships in an area where such would have been unthinkable some years ago....
Lula, of whom George W. Bush had high expectations as an essential instrument
of American diplomacy to stop the advance of continental communism, is
himself, just as much today as since the foundation of the São Paulo Forum in
1990, the great mastermind of Latin-American subversion, something that
this summit made clearer than ever."
