Oh, Marxism is not literally in my house, I wouldn’t allow that – it is philosophically in the house of the people, the White House.  I like to think the people that live there are like tenants — some are there for shorter periods of time than others, but none for more than 8 years.  We currently have a tenant that should be evicted.

The current resident, President Barack Hussein Obama appears to be painting an image of America as a country in a state of decline.

As a proud citizen of the United States, I resent the image being projected by one who should be the courier of the message that we are a nation of exceptionalism, not Marxism.

No one has characterized Obama better than The Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer during his speech before the Wriston Lecture at the Manhattan Institute in New York City on October 5.  He said, “The Current foreign policy of the United States is an exercise in contraction.  It begins with the demolition of the moral foundation of American dominance.  President Obama was asked about American exceptionalism, His answer? ‘I believe in American exceptionalism, just as I suspect that the Brits believe in British exceptionalism, and the Greeks believe in Greek exceptionalism.’ ” Krauthammer astutely observed, “Interesting response.  Because if everyone is exceptional, no one is.”

Obama apologies for America and all of its past from George Washington to George Bush.  When you take Obama’s rhetoric and translate it into plain English he is saying there is nothing special about America. He has done this now on trips abroad eight times visiting 20 different countries more than any other president in our history, and he has one more this year to pick up the Nobel Peace prize in Oslo for promises, rhetoric, false hope and perhaps for sex appeal – but, not for achievements.

Krauthammer went on to support this contention by saying, “As he made his hajj from Strasbourg to Prague to Ankara to Istanbul to Cairo and finally to the UN General Assembly, Obama drew the picture of an America quite exceptional – exceptional in moral culpability and heavy-handedness, exceptional in guilt for its treatment of other nations and peoples . . . Obama indicted his own country for arrogance, for dismissivness and derisiveness (toward Europe), for maltreatment of natives, for torture, for Hiroshima, for Guantanamo, for unilateralism, and for insufficient respect for the Muslim world.  Quite an indictment, the fundamental consequence of which is to effectively undermine any moral claim that America might have to world leadership.”

Yet when it came to himself in his address to the United Nations Obama had the humble audacity to say, “For those who question the character and cause of my nation, I ask you to look at the concrete actions we have taken in just nine months.”

Obama’s comments more frequently are self-promoting while denigrating the nation he represents, comments that reflect his Marxism objective, for after all his philosophy comes from a self-proclaimed Marxist, Saul D. Allinsky, who wrote the playbook “Rules for Radicals”  a dictum on community organizing closely followed by Obama when he was a community organizer in Chicago.

It reflects his close ties to the Service Employees Union (SEIU) and its President Andy Stern who visited the White House 22 times this year and kicked in some $85 million in contributions to Obama’s campaign.

SEIU is a special interest group, you know one of those groups that Obama was not going to allow to be part of his administration of change.

Stern is a guy that believes in the philosophy of, “Using the power of persuasion and if that doesn’t work, we’ll use the persuasion of power.” This philosophy can be also found in the Alinsky playbook.

Now, what are some of the other signs of Marxism being espoused from the people’s house?

Well, there is wealth re-distribution as explained to Joe the Plumber before Obama was president.

This comes about through big government, which Obama has already achieved; taking over the auto industry, the investment community, financial institutions, control over people’s health care, an attempt to censor the media, tighten the control of freedom of speech, control of the internet and fail to recognize a ‘war on terror’ by attempting to appease the Muslim community and be soft on defense.

He has moved to put the lid on a Congressional investigation of the Ft. Hood terrorist act that took 13 lives, a fetus, and wounded some 30, by a Muslim US officer, until the Feds and the military have completed its investigation.  Well, these are the very organizations that failed to take action on the red flags that were before their very eyes.  It’s called manipulating the perception, a move to a possible cover-up and creating an image that Obama wants to project.   He is yet to call it a terrorist act.  Interesting note on the carnage at Ft. Hood:  Why aren’t our soldiers armed?  Why do we trust our military with guns on the battlefield and not on a military base?

By the way, explain to me today’s battlefield during something Obama doesn’t want to call a ‘war on terror.’

It is a known fact that the only guy/woman that stops a bad guy with a gun, is a good guy/woman with a gun.

Now, while Obama was globetrotting in Asia, it was announced that 5 terrorists of 9/11 that took 3,000 lives will be transferred to a Court House in New York for a civil trial.  We are giving war criminals the right of a civil trial with all the rights of a US citizen rather than a military tribunal, providing them with a platform for more Jihad propaganda and the risk of a terrorist act within sight of the World Trade Center, an area by the way, which will be in a state of ‘lock-down.’  All terrorists have admitted their guilt, yet we will spend the next 5 to 10 years at extraordinary expense to bring them to trial.

These are Obama’s  politically staged moves to distance the thought that we are in a war on terror that Obama wants to stonewall;  when we were attacked again only weeks ago on our own military instillation, by allegedly one of our own.

Jihad has infiltrated our military, whether it be a single cell of al-Qaeda or something more ominous.  The enemy wears many uniforms, the battlefield is not defined and singular acts are just as effective as massive acts – the bottom line is still carnage.

We are at war in Afghanistan, why the prolonged delay on the request for more troops, while those in our military need the help and are dying because of Obama’s failure to make a decision?  If you don’t want to be there – get out.  Don’t put our troops in harms way by an error of omission.

Now, within our White House there is Chief of Staff Rham Emanuel, who has been quoted, perhaps more than he likes on a philosophy, that “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste.”

Well, this White House hasn’t allowed these crises go to waste to meet their agenda.

Obama travels the world with apologetic rhetoric coming off his teleprompter, bowing to a King of Saudi Arabia and an Emperor of Japan, while deferring to the power of China because our Treasury Department is in debt to them to the tune of $800 billion.  No wonder they are asking if we really need health care reform now.

Here at home our national debt is $12 Trillion.

Well, it doesn’t seem as though this crisis is ‘going to waste’ for an Obama- Marxism agenda.

I don’t want to encourage the sale of ‘Rules For Radicals’ by Allinsky – borrow it from the library – it’s worth the read in order to plot the next steps of this administration.
