Obama - a retrospective
Obama...does it matter now?
July 29, 2010
Matt BruceWhen I first wrote this article in November of 2009 it took off like a rocket ship!
The facts remain the same and it's time once again for the truth to be told about how America got into the shape it finds itself in as of today...When Obama wrote a book and said he was mentored as a youth by Frank, (Frank Marshall Davis) an avowed Communist, people said it didn't matter.
When it was discovered that his grandparents, were strong Socialists, sent Obama's mother to a Socialist school, introduced Frank Marshall Davis to young Obama, people said it didn't matter.
When people found out that he was enrolled as a Muslim child in school and his father and step father were both Muslims, people said it didn't matter.
When he wrote in another book he authored "I will stand with them (Muslims) should the political winds shift in an ugly direction" regarding the Palestinian issue, people said it didn't matter.
When he admittedly, in his book, said he chose Marxist friends and professors in college, people said it didn't matter.
When he traveled to Pakistan after college on an unknown national passport, people said it didn't matter.
When he sought the endorsement of the Marxist Party in 1996 as he ran for the Illinois Senate, people said it doesn't matter.
When he sat in a Chicago Church for twenty years and listened to a preacher spew hatred for America and preach Black Liberation Theology, people said it didn't matter.
When an independent Washington organization, that tracks senate voting records, gave him the distinctive title as the "most liberal senator", people said it didn't matter.
When the Palestinians in Gaza, set up a fundraising telethon to raise money for his election campaign, people said it didn't matter.
When his voting record supported gun control, people said it didn't matter.
When he refused to disclose who donated money to his election campaign, as other candidates had done, people said it didn't matter.
When he received endorsements from people like Louis Farrakhan, Mummar Muammar Kaddafi and Hugo Chavez, people said it didn't matter.
When it was pointed out that he was a total, newcomer and had absolutely no experience at anything except community organizing, people said it didn't matter.
When he chose friends and acquaintances such as Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn who were revolutionary radicals, people said it didn't matter.
When his voting record in the Illinois senate and in the U.S. Senate came into question, people said it didn't matter.
When he refused to wear a flag, lapel pin and did so only after a public outcry, people said it didn't matter.
When people started treating him as a Messiah and children in schools were taught to sing his praises, people said it didn't matter.
When he stood with his hands over his groin area for the playing of the National Anthem and Pledge of Allegiance, people said it didn't matter.
When he surrounded himself in the White house with advisors who were pro gun control, pro abortion, pro homosexual marriage, anti-capitalism, anti-free markets, pro-government control over everything and wanting to curtail freedom of speech to silence the opposition, people said it didn't matter.
When he aired his views on abortion, homosexuality and a host of other issues, people said it didn't matter.
When he said he favors sex education in Kindergarten, including homosexual indoctrination, people said it didn't matter.
When his background was either scrubbed or hidden and nothing could be found about him, people said it didn't matter.
When his first act as President, literally within 5 minutes of taking office, he signed executive order #13489 that sealed his own records, people said it didn't matter.
When the place of his birth was called into question, and he refused to produce a birth certificate, and continues to spend millions in court to keep the material sealed, people said it didn't matter.
When he had an association in Chicago with Tony Rezko, a man of questionable character, who is now in prison and had helped Obama to a sweet deal on the purchase of his home, people said it didn't matter.
When it became known that George Soros, a multi-billionaire Marxist, spent a ton of money to get him elected, people said it didn't matter.
When he started appointing czars that were radicals, revolutionaries, and even avowed Marxists and Communists, people said it didn't matter.

"The facts remain the same and it's time once again for the truth to be told about how America got into the shape it finds itself in as of today..." I am completely in agreement with that.

What I find scarier than our President with this history listed is the number of people in our country that agree with him on so many of these issues. I'm discovering more and more of my friends that are completely in line with where Obama sits on so many issues, including socialism, Black Liberation Theology (we are, of course, white people of privilege that are living on unearned privileges), and that his teachers and friends are forward thinkers in their minds and silent mentors of theirs as well. Obama isn't who scares me. It's all the people backing him up, KNOWING all this about him and completely agreeing with every bit of where he stands regarding the issues this list brings up, that worry me.

I'm guessing the younger generations like the idea of socialism. It seems to play into that something-for-nothing mentality they have. Younger people don't seem to want to start at the bottom and work hard to make their way up. They want it all NOW. Generally speaking. Socialism no doubt sounds great - give me something without me having to do anything. They really have no idea what they are getting themselves in for.

What I find terrifying is that you can regurgitate this hateful bile with no more proof of it's validity than "you found it on the internet." Or the idea that studying other philosophies and theologies, to keep one's mind open is a bad thing?
SHAME ON YOU for spreading hate under the guise of spirituality!

Nothing hateful about it, Patrick - just a recitation of facts found not just on the Internet but in the Dinosaur Media.
You must have your head in the sand if you are not aware of what has been going on. These are FACTS, not opinions.
Very interesting how the Left has nothing substantive or interesting to say - but uses the word HATE to describe anything with which they disagree.
Patrick, grow up. People have different perspectives, different opinions. You need a larger vocabulary and more research under your belt.

These are not facts, but rather misrepresentations and untruths on the whole, with a peppering of truth thrown in for effect.
Shame on you indeed!
I am a researcher by trade and I must say, you didn't put enough effort into yours if you actually believe the things you wrote. I urge you to be more thorough in future research.
BY the BY, I am not a fan of Obama, but I am a fan of honest discourse.

If you were truly a researcher by trade, you would have noticed that I did not write this article. It is clearly attributed to Matt Bruce, the author.
These are facts and in the public record. You have offered not a shred of evidence to the contrary - just your own opinion and some insight into its worth by your very unresearcher-like mistake on the piece's authorship.
You claim to be not an Obama supporter - yet you are obviously a supporter of the status quo.

Do these people all think that we forgot? I don't need somebody "researching" these facts for me. I REMEMBER. We lived it.
I was reading through the article and thinking, "I remember that...and that...and that..." all the way down the list.
What a bunch of hooey, telling us that this never happened.
Shame on Patrick and wt crosby for trying to pull the wool over our eyes. As if we didn't know.
