"We're really blessed in this country to have the Judeo-Christian tradition of wanting to love each other and help each other have better lives and to enjoy life and be good to each other. As opposed to the tradition of some Islamofascist localities where they do the reverse - sending their own children off to be blown up."
The Big Picture, 4/29/04.

    In His Own Words Obama Reveals the Kind of Change He Wants: Redistribution of Wealth

    In this entire Presidential election campaign, Obama never revealed to us that he's a Marxist - until Joe the Plumber got it out of him. Obama kept it hidden from us. Now audio has surfaced from an interview Obama did with Chicago Public Radio in 2001, in which Obama says it out loud again in no uncertain terms. You can hear Obama saying this:

    The Supreme Court never ventured into the issues of redistribution of wealth and more basic issues of political and economic justice in this society. And to that extent as I think people try to characterize the Warren Court, it wasn't that radical. It didn't break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the founding fathers and the Constitution, at least as it's been interpreted.

    [.....]

    And that hasn't shifted. And one of the tragedies of the civil rights movement was because the civil rights movement became so court-focused, I think that there was tendency to lose track of the political and community organizing, and activities on the ground, that are able to put together the actual coalitions of power, through which you bring about redistributive change. And in some ways we still suffer from that.

    That's the kind of change Obama wants: "redistributive change." He wants to redistribute the wealth. Redistribution of wealth is a key tenet of Marxism:

    Marx thought it was only a matter of time before the working classes of the world, realizing their common goals, would unite to overthrow the capitalists and redistribute the wealth. He felt the establishment of communism would be the inevitable outcome of a historical process.

    Of course that's what Obama believes. All his life-long mentors and friends are Marxists, Communists, America-haters, and/or terrorists. From the Jawa Report:

    It's not just that Barack Obama's father was a Marxist economist or that his mother Stanley came from radical far-left roots.

    It's not just that Obama's childhood mentor Frank Marshall Davis was a famous communist poet.

    It's not just that Jeremiah Wright, Obama's pastor, counselor and spiritual mentor of 20 years is a racist, America-hating radical.

    It's not just that Michael Phleger, Obama's other spiritual mentor is every bit as extreme as Wright.

    [.....]

    It's not just that Obama's political and financial benefactor William Ayers is an unrepentant radical socialist terrorist.

    It's not just that Bernadine Dohrn regrets that she didn't kill more people back in the 1960s.

    It's not just that Alice Palmer, Obama's political mentor in Chicago, was a communist propagandist.

    Add to that list Rev. Jim Wallis, an America-hater who has called the U.S. "the great power, the great seducer, the great captor and destroyer of human life, the great master of humanity and history in its totalitarian claims and designs."

    Add to that list Obama's own father, the Communist Barack Hussein Obama, Sr. - the one to whom Obama dedicated "Dreams of My Father:"

    Obama Sr. described his own economic plan, his counterproposal, as it were, as "scientific socialism - inter alia - communism." Yes, Obama's father was a communist who wanted to put socialist theory into action - by "force."

    Add to that list the Marxist Raila Odinga, former Prime Minister of Kenya, on whose behalf Obama personally campaigned in 2006.

    This was not Mr. Odinga's first brush with notoriety. Like his father, Jaramogi Oginga Odinga, the main opposition leader in the 1960s and 1970s, Raila Odinga is a Marxist. He graduated from East Germany's Magdeburg University in 1970 on a scholarship provided by the East German government. He named his oldest son after Fidel Castro.

    Raila Odinga was implicated in the bloody coup attempt in 1982 against then-President Daniel Arap Moi, a close ally of the United States. Kenya has been one of the most stable democracies in Africa since the 1960s. The ethnic cleansing earlier this year was the worst violence in Kenya since that 1982 coup attempt.

    Mr. Odinga spent eight years in prison. At the time, he denied guilt but later detailed he was a coup leader in his 2006 biography. Statue of limitations precluded further prosecution when the biography appeared.

    Initially, Mr. Odinga was not the favored opposition candidate to stand in the 2007 election against President Mwai Kibaki, who was seeking his second term. However, he received a tremendous boost when Sen. Barack Obama arrived in Kenya in August 2006 to campaign on his behalf. Mr. Obama denies that supporting Mr. Odinga was the intention of his trip, but his actions and local media reports tell otherwise.

    Mr. Odinga and Mr. Obama were nearly inseparable throughout Mr. Obama's six-day stay. The two traveled together throughout Kenya and Mr. Obama spoke on behalf of Mr. Odinga at numerous rallies. In contrast, Mr. Obama had only criticism for Kibaki. He lashed out against the Kenyan government shortly after meeting with the president on Aug. 25. "The [Kenyan] people have to suffer over corruption perpetrated by government officials," Mr. Obama announced.

    "Kenyans are now yearning for change," he declared.

    There it is again: Obama says "change" and he means change to a leader who supports Marxism. Obama supported Odinga, the self-admitted leader of a bloody coup.

    By the way, Odinga leads a party that is guilty of mass-murder - just in case you're interested in that little detail of a man Obama supports politically. That's the kind of change Obama supports in Africa.

    About 50 parishioners were locked into the Assemblies of God church before it was set ablaze. They were mostly women and children. Those who tried to flee were hacked to death by machete-wielding members of a mob numbering 2,000.

    The 2008 New Year Day atrocity in the Kenyan village Eldoret, about 185 miles northwest of Nairobi, had all the markings of the Rwanda genocide of a decade earlier.

    By mid-February 2008, more than 1,500 Kenyans were killed. Many were slain by machete-armed attackers. More than 500,000 were displaced by the religious strife. Villages lay in ruin. Many of the atrocities were perpetrated by Muslims against Christians.

    The violence was led by supporters of Raila Odinga, the opposition leader who lost the Dec. 27, 2007, presidential election by more than 230,000 votes. Odinga supporters began the genocide hours after the final election results were announced Dec. 30. Mr. Odinga was a member of Parliament representing an area in western Kenya, heavily populated by the Luo tribe, and the birthplace of Barack Obama's father.

    American Liberals: Obama does not believe what you believe. He is not worthy of your support. He will attack many of the things you care about, including your livelihood, which will be endangered by his Marxist, Socialist, Communist goals.

    Obama is a Manchurian Candidate: he campaigned while keeping his true goals a secret from the people. His true goals, like those of his life-long mentors and friends, are to attack America's foundations and remake it along the Marxist and Socialist lines of the failing states of Europe.
