Tweak the Wreck to Make it Work

Posted on 31/01/2011 by Grumpa Joe

Awhile back, another Progressive Liberal President spoke to the Democrat controlled Congress and told them to pass a universal health care law. Pass it no matter how bad it is, you can always fix it later. In his State of the Union Speech. President Obama was very direct when he said he would not undo Obama care, but he would entertain fixing some of the objectionable parts of it. He also remade a statement that he would listen to any ideas proposed by those opposed. Really?

If President Obama thinks he can fix the clunker he invented by tweaking it, he is a danger to himself and should be committed. Perhaps we are wrong and he really is the second coming of Christ. Excuse me, Christ is not politically correct as the One who can make miracles. Maybe he is the second coming of Allah.

The only way to fix this clunker is to send it to the shredder fast. After it is on its way to Progressive heaven he can entertain some real free market solutions that will work.

I’m afraid that sitting in the front row at Trinity United Church for twenty years of listening to the tenets of Black Liberation Theology has brainwashed him into believing that Marxist solutions work. Meanwhile Marxist countries have rejected the philosophy in favor of freedom and capitalism. China pretends to be Marxist, but is gleefully embracing capitalism to save its population from starvation. Russia has also embraced capitalism and personal freedom. It is quickly becoming an economic powerhouse. That leaves President Obama with North Korea, Cuba, and Venezuela as the model for the twenty-first century Marxist utopia.

I don’t buy Marxism, Socialism, Liberalism, or Progressivism because they all take away man’s God-given right to liberty and the pursuit to happiness in favor of  all men being treated equal at the expense of liberty, free will, and the freedom to  realize his human potential.

By the way, the other President that gave BO the invaluable advice to pass anything then fix it later was none other than Bill Clinton. I can hardly wait for a scandal to break out with BO and a liberal cutie in the Oval office.

If you think my view of BO as a Marxist  is off base read the link below that will take you to Obama’s ‘Missing Link.’

Radical Overload

Posted on 21/07/2009 by Grumpa Joe

Cover-Rules for Radicals

The Cloward-Piven Strategy to implement socialist revolution
I recently came across an article written about sociology professors Cloward and Piven from Columbia University.  After reading the article linked above, the current state of affairs in our country becomes very clear. We have been undergoing a revolution from within since nineteen sixty-six.  The revolutionaries are socialists who want to destroy capitalism and everything it stands for.

The revolution began with an  idea  to overload the welfare system in order to bankrupt the country. It seems to be working very well. The housing meltdown is  part of the welfare scam;  a social experiment intended to give everyman a home. The current attempt to rope us into the welfare system is called universal health care. It is another weapon being used by socialists to bankrupt the country. Reminiscent of the USSR, is the hypocrisy of giving the president and Congress a gilded Lilly plan, while the rest of us will suffer.

A proponent of the overload concept was a man named  Saul Alinsky.  Obama studied Saul Alinsky while working as Community Organizer. Obama also attended Columbia University, the home of Cloward and Piven. Obama attended a church based on black liberation theology. For twenty years he listened to ranting sermons by the Reverend Wright. Obama worked with Bill Ayers, a professed terrorist, and communist with a small ‘c’.

Is it a coincidence that POTUS is so radical?  Or were his radical connections deliberate methodology on his part to create a foundation for the strategy designed to destroy the United States of America?

Into Socialist Slavery!

His Soul Is Black

Posted on 30/10/2008 by Grumpa Joe

My Flag Flies Everyday

More from “Dreams From My Father.” BO writes about how he learned of Reverend Jeremiah Wright’s church. As a Community Organizer, he found himself interviewing local ministers. The job involved looking for common issues that he could then bring into action through the local people. A good idea, that in my opinion is the same as pushing on a rope. It seems this old minister directed him to a young minister on 95th St who was attracting all levels of blacks. Even though his church is in one of the poorest neighborhoods on the southside of Chicago. I know it well, because I grew up three miles east of there. It wasn’t always a poor area, it was middle class. Unfortunately, the whites abandoned the area after the first black family moved in. They couldn’t move away fast enough. I digress. Before he left the community organizing business, BO showed up at the Reverend Wright’s church for a service. It sounded like BO didn’t really have much of a connection with God at the time. He was attracted to the message that Wright preached, i.e. Black Liberation Theology. It is a belief that racism is evil. 

James Cone a Black liberation theologian explains that   “…at the core of black liberation theology is an effort — in a white-dominated society, in which black has been defined as evil — to make the gospel relevant to the life and struggles of American blacks, and to help black people learn to love themselves. It’s an attempt, he says “to teach people how to be both unapologetically black and Christian at the same time.””

BO’ attraction to this message seems to confirm his troubled mind regarding his “blackness.” Being fathered by a black man to a white woman, and reared by white grandparents he did not understand his own racial make-up. As I explained in my previous post titled “Conflicted Soul,” he was raised white, but his soul was black. He wanted to be black. I don’t see anything wrong with that. He is half black, so why wouldn’t he want to express himself as black? What I do see as a problem is with his faith.

Religion is a belief and a faith that there is another world after death. Black Liberation Theology emphasizes action toward blacks learning to love themselves through the teachings of Jesus Christ. BO evidently saw something in this theology that appealed to him. Perhaps he could learn to love his blackness if he pursued this avenue.

When the media finally uncovered Jeremiah Wright’s sermon in which he “God Damned America,” BO got too much negative publicity out of it. At first BO defended the Reverend. I commend him for that. He showed that he truly had a strong relationship with the man. When the threat of losing his race for president increased, he finally “resigned,” from the church in an attempt to distance himself from Jeremiah Wright. Did he also resign from his “belief?” A true believer would have stood his ground and stayed.

If BO dropped this belief in Black Liberation Theology, after twenty years, at the drop of a hat, how quickly will he change his mind about his plan to tax only those making over $250,000.00?  How quickly will he change his mind about any of the issues he so arrogantly proclaims to be the “Change We Can Believe In.”

Thieving Radical Hate Monger?

Posted on 09/10/2008 by Grumpa Joe

A few years ago I took a course in improving human performance. In that course, the instructor advised that if I wanted to become a leader, that I should hang out with leaders. The principle is a small step toward getting what you want. I would learn valuable lessons in leadership from the associations. I thought about this principle while watching the news last night. One of BO’s spinmasters was accusing Sean Hannity of trying to make BO guilty by association.  It occurred to me that the liberal candidate for president is hanging with some interesting people. First he is using several thieving ex-CEO’s from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to advise him on matters related to the housing crisis. Next, he hangs with a “guy from his neighborhood,” who is a proclaimed non-repentant terrorist. The man clearly hates our country. Let’s not forget his time with Anton Resko, known to seek out corrupt politicians for personal gain. BO has some nefarious real estate dealings with this man. On Sundays, he is known to hang with his good friend Reverend Jeremiah Wright who preaches Black Liberation Theology (translation, hate whitey and the government with all your heart and soul).

WIthin this group of associations there is a thread of continuity; thievery, radicalism, hatred.  BO wants me to believe that his associations with these people have not influenced him in any way. Just where is BO going with all this? Perhaps he wants to be the thieving radical hate monger of the century.

There a few more asscociations that occurred earlier in his life. Like the one with his mother, a known radical thinker, his grandparents, also known to be radical thinkers. Then there is Barack Hussein Obama Senior. BO would like us to think his father abandoned him, but BO-Sr. kept in touch with his son, and BO- Sr. believed in taxing the rich to benefit the poor, or “redistribution of wealth.”

I don’t believe for a moment that the association with his parents didn’t have any influence on his life or his values.

What is scary about his associations, is that the people who are backing him must  be thinking the same way. Why else would they worship him?
