When Barack Obama spoke in the 2004 Democrat Convention, my wife and I were stirred by his speech, because it embodied the best of the American dream. My wife told me, “He will be president some day,” and I dismissed and forgot about it. But she was right.
When Barack Obama ran for the presidency in 2008, my first thought was that this was a great thing, because now our great nation had finally matured to the point where every American could aspire to the highest office in the land. I thought, “If a black man can run successfully for the White House, then the country has finally developed and grown to the summit of its greatness, and any American can aspire to become President of the United States.” I felt good for our nation because of Obama.
But as the months passed by and the primaries came to their end, I had begun to discover some very disconcerting facts about Obama and his past associations with radical organizations, Communist acquaintances and close friends and associates, his self admission in his autobiography of his choice to follow the radical road with Communists during his college years, the power brokers who helped him rise within the ranks of the local Democrat Party Machinery in Chicago, his stance on abortion, homosexuality, same sex marriage – which he claimed at the time, as he does now, that his points of view concerning it were in development, but which he has since made it evident he supports and promotes as public policy, even having his Justice Department not pursue the enforcement of DOMA (the Defense of Marriage Act), his role as community organizer – a creation of the communists and promoted by Saul Alinsky in his book Rules for Radicals, a method of community agitation used effectively by communists to create chaos – use in Cuba, Nicaragua, Viet Nam, Communist China, and the old Soviet Union during the days of Lenin.
The more I dug into Obama’s background, the more worried I became. I was very concerned in 2004 about John Kerry winning the White House, because I knew him to be a Communist who is registered as a Democrat, but Obama was worse than Kerry. This is why I wrote as I did at the time, and I warned about what to expect. Those who read my reports, will remember that I wrote about the current Depression were Obama to be elected president, and it has come to pass. I have nothing personally against Obama, he believes in what he’s doing, and I celebrate the fact that as an African American, the American electorate made it evident that we had come a long way from the days of my youth, and elected him to the highest office in the land. But his radical past and Marxist bonafides quenched all of these emotions, because in his ideology, I saw the end of our great Republic.
And now it has come to pass. Just as I had warned three years ago, it has come to pass. It is good though, that among America’s African Americans there are others who think differently than Barack Obama. Men like Herman Cain, who is running for the presidency, as well as Colonel West, who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. There is Dr. Thomas Sowell, Professor Walter Williams, Secretary Condoleezza Rice, Secretary Colin Powell, J.D. Watts, and many others, who if the media were to listen to them and promote their points of view as much as they do Obama’s, we’d be much better off.
To conclude, I cannot celebrate the presidency of Barack Hussein Obama, because it embodies an alien ideology I do not and cannot support, because in every nation where such an ideology has been made the law of the land and promoted as public policy, it has brought the tyranny of overbearing government upon the lives of its people, and has left them destitute and hopeless. History teaches that this ideology has failed wherever it has been used – the list is formidable; Russia, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Moldova, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Romania, Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, Albania, Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Viet Nam, North Korea, and the list goes on. And now it has come here. Not under the point of a gun, but under the weight of bureaucratic federal power and legislation as well as presidential executive orders, all of which circumvent the restraints the Constitution places on government, because the people doing it do not respect or uphold it, though they swore to. I wish I could celebrate Obama’s presidency, but I cannot. Perhaps by reading the reasons cited above, you can understand why.
