Time to Use the "C" Word
by Laura Hollis
Thursday, October 16, 2008

I am tired of all the dancing around the subject with respect to Barack Obama’s political, social, and economic views.  He’s not a “liberal,” or a “Democrat,” or a “progressive,” or even a “socialist.”  Let’s call it what it is, shall we?  It’s time to use the “C” word.  His policies are communist, pure and simple.

Even without the power of the Presidency, a filibuster-proof Senate, and U.S. Supreme Court appointments under his belt, Obama has already:

•   called for a national citizen military force;
  
  
•   sent government agents to intimidate American citizens who have said they don’t agree with him and will not vote for him;
  
  
•   tried to use the offices of state Attorneys General to silence any opposition or dissent;
  
  
•   offered questionable "support" for the Second Amendment “right to bear arms” – as long as it isn’t in self-defense;
  
  
•   proposed his version of “from each according to his ability, to each according to his need;”  (plumbers – plumbers, for pity’s sake, should pay more taxes???)
  
  
•   trained, funded and utilized organizations like ACORN that are notorious for voter registration fraud;
  
  
•   consorted with and funded terrorists and anti-American radicals;
  
  
•   attended a church led by a racist, black supremacist, anti-American bigot;
  
  
•   been mentored by Frank Marshall Davis, who was apparently not only a Communist and a bigot, but also a pervert, and who warned Obama not to go off to college or fall for “equal opportunity and the American way and all that s***.”;

Despite concerted efforts by the media to hide this information, Obama’s connections with the Communist Party have been unearthed by independent investigators, journalists and bloggers.  And like clockwork, Obama apologists and handlers are trying to assuage the public’s concerns with assurances that Obama is "not that radical"; he knows that “socialism is dead;” he is a pragmatist, not an ideologue.

Uh-huh.  Sure.  Well, they got the “pragmatist” part right, anyway...

Call him "progressive"; call him "socialist"; call him "communist"; or call him "Marxist".  I'm truly hoping that in a little more than 3 weeks, we can call him "former presidential hopeful".

I am not voting for Obama. Case closed.

Communist is pointlessly inflammatory and will bring him defenders.  Also Communism is just a flavor of a larger slave driving mentality.

He is also more like Mussolini than Lenin. 

Of course, the Obomsomal brigades are truly scary.

So he is just Faciast lite.

I was skeptical about the civilian-military force because WND is just a ptarmigan feather away from being prison planet but:

I thought this was Barack's idea of a civilian miliatry force.
