OBAMA'S PURPORTED MOVE TO THE CENTER

A good one for some perspective. But let’s not be fooled and lulled into thinking as some in the media are now claiming, that Barack Obama has moved to the center. He has not. He is making statements that he wishes to focus now on jobs creation, but he has said this since he entered office two years ago. He has changed his cabinet around, and the media has been there to help create the false image of a center-left move with the addition of Daley from Chicago, who has been, is, and ever will be a leftwing politician, though he is being portrayed even by some “conservatives” on Fox as a moderate and consolatory character. He is not. Everything Obama is doing and saying is designed to get him reelected in two years. He knows that he must regain the critical moderate and independent voters who voted for him in 2008 if he is to secure a second term. He knows that he also needs more Democrats to come out and vote, if he is to stave off any potential competitors from within his own party. And he knows that he will need the media’s help to convince enough useful idiots out there with a short memory that he learned through last year’s midterm elections that he must “moderate” his policies and that he has begun to do it with these latest moves and hirings. Don’t be fooled.

Barack Obama is taking the advice of the media which in the weeks following the trouncing the Democrats received last November, who said that what he needed to do now was to pivot and move towards the middle if he was to regain his poll numbers with the public and possibly win reelection. Liberals and conservatives alike all said he would now move to “the center.” He has in recent weeks, complied by appearing to move in that direction, but he has not changed a single policy or objective of his. His so-called compromise with the Republicans to extend the Bush Tax Cuts for another two years (note, until he can secure reelection) is nothing but an old Marxist Tactic of one step, two steps forward, in which one appears to compromise with a single concession to the enemy while simultaneously moving forward to advance one’s cause on two other fronts. He has not changed his policy on Climate Change and his mad Green Agenda that will bankrupt key industries in the nation, drive the cost of energy for average Americans, and impoverish the already suffering private sector, particularly the backbone of American enterprise – the small businesses – that employ eighty per cent of our nation’s population.

He continues to enforce his radical agenda behind the scenes through various Executive Orders, which are then enforced by fifty-two so-called Tsars, whom he appointed without congressional oversight or approval, and without the consent of the American electorate. And he continues to support far Left causes, organizations, and activists across the land. His Justice Department continues to pursue its radical direction as Eric Holder is vigorously enforces the wishes of the president’s own militant Anti-American world view. The dismissal of the New Black Panthers case is just one example of this policy, but there are many others. Giving foreign combatants and terrorists Constitutional rights is another example. And where it may appear that he is conceding these policies to more moderate ones, he is really triangulating a different approach because the current ones have too many legal hurdles to overcome, and he must complete these before 2012 and the elections just in case Obama is not reelected.

The Net Neutrality Laws is being vigorously pursued, and there are rumblings about reinstating the Fairness Doctrine, which is unconstitutional and a favorite ploy of the Left in squelching all free conservative free speech, and reinstitute the total leftwing media monopoly the radical liberal progressives had before the advent of talk radio, cable TV, and the Internet. If Obama and his Marxist and Socialist allies in government can regulate these before next year, he will have gone a long way, as he has with ObamaCare and the repeal of Bill Clinton’s Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy of gays in the military

Another area where this administration is advancing the radical feminist agenda is in enforcing the policy of placing women in critical front-line positions in every branch of the US military. This has been an agenda of the radical Left for decades. It is one of a two-pronged assault on cohesiveness and moral on our nation’s armed forces – one with homosexuals and lesbians, the other with women in frontline combat units – one destroys the cohesiveness of the unit, the other is meant to distract it; but both are designed precisely to undermine the combat effectiveness of our armed forces and render our nation incapable of effectively being able to defend itself. The cohesiveness of the combat unit broken down, the military unit is rendered ineffective, and with the distractions brought on by these changes, moral within each combat unit will also erode, command will break down, and the defenses will be opened to being overrun as they will be neutralized from within. Obama is vigorously pursuing this.

Obama also wants a national ID Card for all American citizens, and wishes to overturn immigration and Constitutional Law in giving illegal and undocumented foreigners within our border immediate citizenship and the right to vote. This is a ploy to gain the ten to sixteen million mostly Hispanic votes from this group and the increasingly growing and important Spanish speaking voting bloc in the US. He is being helped in this through the various Mexican owned Spanish language television stations throughout the country, specifically Telemundo and Univision. Both stations have a huge audience in the Latin American communities throughout the country and both station’s Mexican owners have a vested interest in promoting this agenda. These two stations are nothing more than a propaganda arm of the Mexican government, and almost exclusively favor Obama and the Democrats over the Republicans, with the rare exception of supporting Republicans from time to time who are advocates of granting amnesty, citizenship, and voting rights to illegals in this country. They will support all candidates who advance this agenda, but almost exclusively support Democrats over Republicans in every election. Obama and they have a mutual political agenda and they both want him to be reelected in 2012.

Obama has not changed his views on abortion or even worse – infanticide, aborting a fully developed baby – being the only elected official in the history of the state of Illinois to have supported infanticide, something that not even the strongest advocates of abortion in the Democratic Party can bring themselves to support, much less, advocate, as he had done during his career in politics. Obama continues his pursuit of our repealing our Constitutional right to keep and bear arms, and to this end he has his Attorney General, Eric Holder, Homeland Security head, Janet Napolitano, and various government agencies using every means possible within our system to confiscate fire arms from ordinary citizens, while repealing their licenses to either sell or buy them throughout the country, while his allies in both houses of congress are taking full advantage of various news reports to politicize and use them to advocate stricter gun control laws, and free speech. They shamelessly used the tragic events of the shooting in Arizona of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, and the death of many of those gathered there to promote these laws and advance their agenda of neutralizing the Second Amendment through legislation and through the courts, and through supra-government agencies such as the Justice Department’s FBI, ICE, ATF, and every agency comprising Homeland Security.

Obama’s hiring of GE’s Jeffrey Immelt to head the new Council on Jobs and Competitiveness, which replaces the president’s Economic Advisory Board that was headed by former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volker, is a brilliant tactical move. It is meant to promote the image that the president is serious about job creation and is taking on a more pro-business position as he “moves to the center.” It is meant to be nothing more than for public consumption and nothing more. GE was the parent company of NBC and its cable arm, MSNBC, CNBC, and it has used these to promote Obama’s agenda. In return, the Obama Administration has almost exclusively given GE lucrative contracts and subsidies. Obama is very good with his friends, As Chris Stirewalt, observes in his write-up for Fox News:

“There are a few companies on the Obama corporate A List – Democratic patrons Google and Goldman Sachs both turn up again and again at White House functions and for special recognition – but no company seems to get the VIP treatment that General Electric receives.
Whether it is pushing the president’s plan for global warming fees in order to create demand for his “Ecomagination” line of windmills, solar panels, etc., boosting the president’s national health-care law as part of an effort to sell more medical equipment, or enthusing over the Obama strategy of making loans available for industrial exporters, Immelt has been an Obama stalwart all along. Immelt has also consistently argued to shareholders that there is big money to be made in advancing the Democratic agenda.
While most corporate leaders have taken a wait and see approach to Obama’s occasional overtures to the private sector, G.E., along with Google, Goldman and few others, have backed him to the hilt.”

Bill Clinton’s former political advisor, Dick Morris makes the following salient observation that GOP leaders best be careful to listen to and follow:

“On this, the second anniversary of his inauguration, President Obama is clearly showing a determination to change his image, replacing his hard left dogmatism with a seeming flexibility and openness to the views of the center. Will it work? Will it lead to his re-election? Are we only one-quarter of the way through a two term Obama presidency?
If the Republican Party wimp out and embraces a moderate agenda, trying to meet him in the middle, Obama will succeed and will be with us for six more years. But if the GOP defines itself in stark contrasts and pushes conservative policies, we will beat him. The key is to test Obama’s centrism by confronting him with bold demands to rollback health reform, undo his massive spending, deregulate community banks, enable state bankruptcies, and block pending executive orders to impose carbon taxes, card check unionization, and FCC regulation of talk radio and the Internet.”

No, Obama has not changed, and will not change, but he wishes you to believe he has moderated. To this end, he’ll speak as though he has, while behind the scenes his policies and agenda continue unabated as he lulls an unsuspecting public and the leadership elites of the Republican Party into putting its guard down, become more conciliatory, soften their political agenda, and if possible, drop much of what conservatives and T.E.A. Party candidates who won sixty-two seats in the US House of Representatives and six seats in the US Senate last year wanted; repeal of ObamaCare, investigations into the inflationary policies of the Federal Reserve System, abandonment of Cap and Trade and the Green Agenda, lifting Obama’s ban on offshore drilling, which is still in effect though he claims it is not, pursuing true clean energy alternatives such as natural gas, nuclear energy, clean coal, etc., and several other policies, all of which Obama is on the wrong side of, and all of which he continues to pursue regardless of what he is saying and what the media is saying about how he is moving towards the center.

Obama’s speech writers know precisely what he needs to say, how he needs to sound and appear before the American people, and what he needs to appear to be doing in order to appear to the public – with the complicit help of the mass media – that he is moving towards the center, while continuing to vigorously pursue and further his own radical agenda on American without abatement. Obama has not changed, will not change in his goal of fundamentally transforming the United States of America before his first term is complete. He must do this in order to set the groundwork for the next Democrat President, since the Democrat Party for all intents and purposes has been overrun by radicals, militants, Socialists of every stripe, and Marxist-Leninists right down to the grass roots level. Once he is gone from the presidency, he can secure through this current actions that his policy objectives have all been met and in place. Obama has not moved to the center. A centrist Obama is nothing more than a creation of the media elites – so-called conservatives as well as the predominant liberals. I would caution everyone who reads this to listen closely to what Obama says, and learn to read between the lines, but more importantly, be informed about what he does, and not necessarily what he says, because this man is a bold Marxist-Leninist, and it is not so much what he says, but what he does that counts. And more importantly, it is not what the media says about him, than what they don’t report on that counts. Obama and the his media allies are nothing more than very adept actors on the stage of history plying their wares on an unsuspecting and largely ignorant populous who are unaware that it is in a slow cooker and Obama and his media allies are turning up the heat, and before they know it, they will be boiled without having known how it was done or what precisely happened for them to have gotten them into this predicament.

SHAMELESS & DISGRACEFUL EXPLOITATION OF A TRAGEDY

In what is perhaps the most disgraceful display of political grandstanding ever witnessed since the time when leading Democrat politicians turned the late Senator Poundstone’s funeral into a political pep rally years ago, far left partisans in the mass media, led by their counterparts in congress, and other far left activists; have taken this past Saturday, when a lone mentally disturbed 22 year old gunman named Jared Lee Louhner shoot and killed six people – one amongst them, a nine year old girl who was born on 9/11 – and critically injuring Representative Gabrielle Gifford’s (Dem. Ariz.) and fourteen other people around her, within just two hours of this tragic event, shamelessly used it to promote their political agenda ranging from the Fairness Doctrine to more draconian gun control laws, in the process demonizing all Americans who disagree politically with them. These shameless opportunistic partisans took aim specifically against Sarah Palin, and talk radio’s Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin, Sean Hannity, and Michael Savage In all of my years, I have never witnessed such a shameless display of mischaracterization and hateful rhetoric and libelous slander against another as I have witnessed this past week on the alphabet soup channels, and some of their cable counterparts.

Beginning with Prima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik, a far left machine politician who has used this event to demonize the Republican Party, talk radio, and the T.E.A. Party, and all conservatives on the various morning shows. Dupnik has perjured himself from this case by his statements, something that a law enforcement officer should never do during the investigation of a crime. Have these people no sense of decency? Have they no shame? Can they not once dispense of their activism and lies in consideration of the grief of the families of those who died and those who are struggling with the wounds inflicted by this maniac? Could they not allow a grieving nation to reflect upon what just occurred instead of twisting the tragic event to take the opportunity to promote their political agenda? And why is the news media complicit in doing the same thing along with them? What has happened to objective reporting? Why is it that news reporting given way to editorializing and the promotion of one political point of view, and the slandering of all others who hold a different point of view? What has happened to a person’s right to conscience? To the free and open exchange of ideas? And why not wait to the families and the nation have had time to mourn their loss? Again I must ask, “have these people any sense of human decency? Have they no shame?”

It is ironic that the very people who decry extremism in others are themselves the most extreme of partisanship, of opinion – some calling for the abolition of talk radio, ban of all fire arms (repeal of the Second Amendment), even legally proscribing certain “types” of speech – in short, removing the very liberties our Constitution has protected for over two hundred years. It is interesting that those calling for moderation, and for all the facts to be vetted when a Muslim fanatic went on a shooting rampage in Fort Hood, Texas a year ago, today are quick to lay blame at the feet of those whom they disagree with politically. These are the same far left characters who last year called the T.E.A. Party racist, and extreme, and dangerous without a shred of proof to support their claims. And now they shameless and disgracefully rushed to demonize a part of the American electorate they disagree with and seek to supplant by any means possible. Ladies and gentlemen, these media pundits and politicians are themselves the dangerous ones. No one hears anyone from the “Right” calling for the abolition of free speech, or the abridgment of the right of the people to their fire arm, or the curtailing of any of the liberties enjoined and protected under our Constitution. Then, it must be observed and then asked, “Who are the extremists here? Who are the people calling for measures which in one way or another assault the rights of the American people?

Step back and take a long hard look. Listen closely and do not allow yourself to get mindlessly carried away by the naiveté of the talking heads of the alphabet soup media who harbor their own agenda for the Left. And don’t be fooled by those who claim to be the avatars of moderation, who claim to be without title, and who claim not to want to be identified by either the Move On.org extremists on the Left or the T.E.A. Party on the Right, but are really leftist hacks masquerading as “mainstream.” Again, their own rhetoric exposes them, because it is the same rhetoric one hears from the left who command the alphabet soup news channels who have made this claim for years, but who in recent years, have come out as transparent partisans in every issue.

And please don’t be taken in by their cheap and simplistic rhetoric. Their claim at being “objective” or the guardians of information and truth; they are not. Their behavior during this tragedy is only the most recent example of just how callously shameless and inconsiderate these people are. By rushing to demonize a sector of the American electorate during a national tragedy such as the one which occurred this past Saturday, they show themselves to be contemptible and without any moral standing. This is a trend that has been increasing in how the networks report news, as news reporters have becoming more and more partisans with agendas they must use any tragedy to exploit. After all, they have a very good example in Rham Emanuel, who himself said, “A crisis should not be brought to waste.”
