Paranoia strikes deep

This thread is full of thought crimes and truths which shall not be mentioned on DU.

It begins benigly enough.

Senator Obama, 12-20-2007..."The President does NOT have the authority..."
 
"The president does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation.” ---Senator Obama, 12-20-2007

Clear?

It descends rapidly into madness here:

22. He was NEVER a constitutional SCHOLAR, never published a scholarly paper, wasn't on tenure track.

He was a "senior lecturer" - that's the lowest level of teacher at a law school, below Full, Assistant, Associate, Adjunct and or Visiting Professors - at University of Chicago. They are not on a tenure track. He never taught the basic, traditional course in Constitutional Law, required of all first year law students, and covered in detail in state bar examinations. He taught three courses:

At the school, Mr. Obama taught three courses, ascending to senior lecturer. His most traditional course was in the narrow constitutional area of (1) DUE PROCESS AND EQUAL PROTECTION of constitutional law. His (2) VOTING RIGHTS class traced the evolution of election law, from the disenfranchisement of blacks to contemporary debates over districting and campaign finance. His most original course, a historical and political seminar as much as a legal one, was on (3)RACISM AND LAW.

Nor could his views be gleaned from scholarship; Mr. Obama has never published any.

Very interesting article on his years as a part-time instructor at the University of Chicago Law School. He was a popular teacher, but refused to intellectually engage with his fellow faculty. One sentence particularly sticks with me as showing that even at the beginning of his political career, he identified his future success and power as dependent upon wealthy whites.

Before he helped redraw his own State Senate district, making it whiter and wealthier, he taught districting as a racially fraught study in how power is secured.

23. Thank You for the History.
 
Filed away for future reference.

I would like to know a little more about his Community Organizing too.
So much of it now seems like a smokescreen,
and even grooming for a run at the White House

Even though I found him to be charismatic and inspiring at the 2004 Democratic Convention, I always wondered how a little known State Senator with NO record at all, landed such a coveted speaking spot so high on the Prime Time Democratic Party Convention schedule.
Politicians will KILL for that kind of PRIME Time National Exposure!

Look to the farce bvar22  (aka the first Black President) "That's a fairy tale man".     

DU may self destruct if this keeps up or at the very least begin purges yet again.  My party, my president, right or wrong.

So much blatant racism in that thread.  The DUmmies should be ashamed...

Too much, too little, too late. The super far left kooks (bvar22's an ELMer) have caught on to Dear Leader being a fraud, but they have reached that conclusion based upon the wrong reasons and have made themselves less than useless. They'll cause a few headaches on the island, but the hardcore Dems will ignore them.

And what exactly are you primitives going to do about it ?

Because of your sycophantic mewing, Obama is now the 'Unitary Executive' you feared GWBush had become - and Obama's racial identity protects him from any and all dissent.

I am surprised that the whole thing hasn't gone down the memory hole.

The management a trois must be on vacation. Playing golf on Martha's Vineyard, now that the real Dem bigshots have moved on?


Skinner and Elad returning to the clubhouse. EarlG got lost somewhere on the back nine.

I would love to see an Obama clown driving the cart with a whole cast of DemoClowns following behind in the local Halloween parade but 'ain't gonna happen here in P_town North' .  It would be great street art Clown Reid chasing Clown Pelosi, wth midget Clown Kooksandwich and a whole host of others, maybe even Hillary in a Dykes on Bikes outfit chasing Clown Reno.  It would be epic.

Forget about the fun and game.   Zeitgeist, we are stuck with trying to get our country back to what it was 50 years ago.

Can this be done, I don't think so, the society is moving way to fast for us to keep up. Hard to adjust to the changes from the last 5 years., much less then 5 hours ago.

Some political advisors on the BBC now compare today to 1914 and what lead up to the first Great war.

Not much we as individuals can do about all this, as Pogo said, " we have met the enemy and he is us"

Best that I can do.
