    Obama's view of the future of America - Socialism which is the next step to Communism!! He admitted to Joe the Plumber than he wanted to spread the wealth! He said that he wanted to make everyone equal! Is America ready for Socialism? The Iranian president, Ahmadinejad, said today that he is glad to see the end to capitalism in America!! Are you glad?????
    ====================================================================================================


    Under socialism a ruling class of intellectuals, bureaucrats and social planners decide what people want or what is good for society and then use the coercive power of the State to regulate, tax, and redistribute the wealth of those who work for a living. In other words, socialism is a form of legalized theft.

    The morality of socialism can be summed-up in two words: envy and self-sacrifice. Envy is the desire to not only possess another's wealth but also the desire to see another's wealth lowered to the level of one's own. Socialism's teaching on self-sacrifice was nicely summarized by two of its greatest defenders, Hermann Goering and Bennito Mussolini. The highest principle of Nazism (National Socialism), said Goering, is: "Common good comes before private good." Fascism, said
    Mussolini, is "a life in which the individual, through the sacrifice of his own private interests??realizes that completely spiritual existence in which his value as a man lies."

    Socialism is the social system which institutionalizes envy and self-sacrifice: It is the social system which uses compulsion and the organized violence of the State to expropriate wealth from the producer class for its redistribution to the parasitical class.

    Despite the intellectuals' psychotic hatred of capitalism, it is the only moral and just social system.

    Capitalism is the only moral system because it requires human beings to deal with one another as traders--that is, as free moral agents trading and selling goods and services on the basis of mutual consent.

    Capitalism is the only just system because the sole criterion that determines the value of thing exchanged is the free, voluntary, universal judgement of the consumer. Coercion and fraud are anathema to the free-market system.

    It is both moral and just because the degree to which man rises or falls in society is determined by the degree to which he uses his mind. Capitalism is the only social system that rewards merit, ability and achievement, regardless of one's birth or station in life.

    Yes, there are winners and losers in capitalism. The winners are those who are honest, industrious, thoughtful, prudent, frugal, responsible, disciplined, and efficient. The losers are those who are shiftless, lazy, imprudent, extravagant, negligent, impractical, and inefficient.

      Jim Johnson, no matter how many times people tell you that Obama is against socialism, you keep posting these blogs that accuse Obama of socialism and communism. It is not true and you know it. You are just trying to smear Obama and make people afraid.

      In his book Audacity of Hope, Obama writes at length about the FAILURE of SOCIALISM and the failure of communism. He enthusiastically states that American democracy is the greatest political system on earth. Obama is not a socialist, and he does not admire socialism.

      You need to recognize that all democracies socialize certain functions: police, fire fighting, military, roads, public schools, sewers, water. This is for the greater good and we all accept it. It does not make us socialists.

      To you, Jim, and to all of the conservatives out there who think that Obama is a flaming liberal, I would like to remind you of what he did when he was elected President of the Harvard Law Review. The Law Review President gets to name ten individuals to write articles for the Review, and these ten people also get to control the content of the publication. All of the minorities and the liberals thought they finally had it made, that Obama would appoint ten left wing editors. Instead, Obama appointed three conservatives, three liberals and four moderates. That year the Law Review was critically acclaimed as the best run and best written Harvard publication in decades.

      So when he wins in November, conservatives don't have to freak out. Obama is a centrist and will appoint a balanced cabinet full of active people who will really get things done. Kind of like the way our multi-cultural society is supposed to be. And exactly what we need in this time of economic crisis.

    It is interesting the stretch that is made to tie Obama to a Terrorist and make him appear to support terrorists. Funny the acts of Ayres were committed when Obama was 8 years old. He met them man 10 to 15 years after Ayres was cleared and the man was a college professor. Obama is appointed to work on an educational school board in which Ayres is working as well for a foundation that started by a well known Republican family and recieves contributions from well known republican families. The man likes Obama and may have helped kick off his state senate campaign in the 1990's sometime with other prominent Chicago area people who are NOT considered Terrorists. Obama has never praised the bombings either, in fact they sicken him. In the last 2 years, they ran into eachother once on the street. That is like saying that when I am doing yard work and talk to my neighbor who served time for embezzlement charges 5 years ago, I am in conspriacy with him. I talked to him about the weather and the yard work 5 years after he did time. He may still think he was in the right but I don't know and care because it is not harming me to do yard work next to him. But Palin can be married to a former member of a party that wants to sucede from the United States of America? What do they say when you are pointing a finger? You have 3 pointing right back at you. Talk about the economic strategy and the real serious issues in our country please. Work to unite the country and be a strong team to make it through such crisis. Don't you think that is why Obama doesn't waste his time trying to dig all the bad baggage of McCain and Palin. Because it isn't worth his time. He is more focussed on the issues like the economy and how he sees we can strengthen our country. His ads focus on the policies that are introduced and how they differ. Past voting records and who they represent is more important to me than a far fetched story about who talked to who and what when. I initially followed Obama because of his stance on Iraq, now after research, I can add I support him because of his healthcare policy, education policy, I agree with 90% of his perspective on the economy, his green policy and most of all I respect the fact he has well educated well informed people he has surrounded himself with that share the same values. He does not claim to know it all and is willing to ask experts like Warren Buffet for advice and actually listen to people.

      I hate to tell you how stupid you sound. Obama hung around Ayers when he was in his thirties and forties even though he knew Ayers commited crimes against our country. Ayers is still a terrorist and always will be. So will Obama.

      • Posted By: Nins @ 10/20/2008 4:52:27 PM

        Ayers, who was an idiot when he was younger, has redeemed himself later in life. He was named "Man of the Year" by a Chicago educator's association, and the very conservative Republican Annenberg Foundation appointed Ayers to two different boards, one of which he served on with Obama, along with lots of prominent Republicans. Would you say that they are all terrorists, guilty by association with Ayers.

        Jim, your one-sided ranting is really getting old. At least include some verifiable facts to go along with your opinions. You support McCain. That's great. Could you write at least one blog about why you think McCain would make a good President?

  • Posted By: Nins @ 10/20/2008 4:47:07 PM

    The GOP is grasping at straws. They have nothing substantive against Obama, but boy are they good at making up lies. This is the leading Karl Rove tactic for years, and if America falls for this again we should be ashamed of ourselves. Not to mention the obvious fact that this is all a smokescreen to keep the focus off of the fact that Palin has been found guilty of abusing the power of her office, and that she is in contempt of court for obstruction of justice. After Nixon and Clinton, Americans are to some extent jaded, but really, would you want a VP who refuses to attend hearings in her own defense, and instructs her employees not to testify?

    This year, the GOP offers you an angry old man and a woman who, while personable, is desperately uniformed on national and international issues. Both of them are far right politically. McCain used to be a maverick, but since 2004 he's voted 90% with Bush. McCain's policies are not original or reformist, despite how he's tried to co-opt Obama's popular message of change. Please go to the websites of both of the candidates and read their platforms. Obama's Blueprint for Change has more good ideas than McCain's plan. Compare them yourself. Obama's basic premise is that tax dollars should be spent to make America stronger and to improve the lives and well being of our people. For example, he uses education programs to train a new technology workforce, contributing to energy independence, creating jobs and improving the economy. When you read McCain's plan you will find no over-arching design to get America back on track. Instead you'll find more tax cuts for the wealthy, de-regulation of the health care industry, and a stated intent to overturn Roe v. Wade.

    I'm a Republican. Although I embrace some forward-thinking social values, in the past I've rarely voted Democrat. My thinking was that since Republicans grow robust economies, by voting Republican I endorsed a plan that would grow wealth for our nation, and then we'd be able to afford social programs. It was a good strategy for a couple decades, but I have to say that the tenure of W. Bush has changed my mind. Not only is there nothing fiscally responsible about today's GOP, the insidious alignment of the party with religious intolerance has really turned me off.

    On the other hand, the intelligent luminous thought of Barack Obama has ignited my patriotism. I want a President who puts America first and can get the economy back on track. In my mind, values voting takes a back burner when we are faced with a meltdown of the economy. It is time for a change, a real change. The Republicans have controlled the Presidency for 28 of the past 40 years, but they have fallen down on the job. The Democrats have a stellar candidate this year, and I am voting for Obama.

    Obama-
    Ayers-
    1) just a guy in the neighborhood
    2) our kids go to the same school- Ayers are 20s and 30s Obamas are under 10 years
    3) He was only eight,,, lame Obama was an adult when there wes a coffee at Ayers house to annouce his political career.
    4)Obama thought he was rehabed ..
    5) they served on two boards together
    6)ties to Acorn togher

    why did Obama just say " oh he is a guy from the hood."

  • Posted By: freerunning @ 10/18/2008 4:11:09 PM

    Bill Ayers has no regrets for his acts of terrorism and does not feel he did enough. Barrack Obama has associated with Bill Ayers, and kicked off his campaign with a coffee at Bill Ayers home. Mayor Daley is a self-professed friend of Bill Ayers: ("Rare Daley move:Endorses Obama for primary", Chicago sun-Times 12/20/06). An old saying is that "birds of a feather flock together". Although Obama has not shown any potential to use violent methods,, he does seem to share the same socialist ideas of those he has associated with. If you want to be like a horse kept in a paddock, well fed but bored, with no real outlook on life, then chose socialism. If you want to be free like a wild mustang, who has the ability to really live life, than chose freedom and capitalism, with all of its possibilites.

    This will make you re-think: A Trivia question in Sunday School:

    How long is the beast allowed to have authority in Revelations?

    Revelations 13:5 tells us it is 42 months, and you know what that is;
    almost a four-year term of a Presidency.

    All I can say is "Lord, Have mercy on us!"

    According to The Book of Revelations the anti-Christ is: The anti-Christ will
    be a man, in his 40's, of MUSLIM descent, who will deceive the nations with
    persuasive language, and have a MASSIVE Christ-like appeal...the prophecy says
    that people will flock to him and he will promise false hope and world peace,
    and when he is in power, will destroy everything...

    Do we recognize this description??
    ================================================================================

    Since most predictions are that the world as we know it will end in the year 2012,
    this sounds reasonable! Of course the numbers of true Christians are dwindling
    fast. It is becoming a sad nation. Our forefathers founded this country on
    Christian principles, but even that is being denied by many. Without the core
    beliefs that our country was founded on, this nation is doomed. Obama, coming onto
    the scene, has brought more hate and anger into this country like I have never seen in
    all my life. His core principles are so far left that it is enough to scare any
    intelligent, mature American. Our forefathers would turn over in their graves if they
    could see that most Americans are ready for Socialism or just too ignorant to understand
    what is happening. I guess I am just from the old school like John McCain, I still
    believe in God, freedom, equality, personal responsibility, capitalism, low taxes, and
    small government. For the last 30 or so years our government has squandered away our
    tax money and forced most of us to live in poverty or close to it. They treated our
    tax money as though it was theirs and like they earned it, and unlike most Americans,
    they did not live within their budget. Emergencies do arise, but any smart American
    knows that you have to be ready for those, so you try to have savings or you borrow the
    money with the intent of paying it back immediately. If Americans have learned anything,
    it is that the government can run nothing and messes up everything they put their hands on.
    Now, Americans seem ready to turn our country over to a big spender and a taxing fool.
    I WANT MY COUNTRY BACK!!!!

    Why Bill Ayers is important to this campaign?
    John McCain should make the argument personal and something that the American people can identify and understand. John McCain views Bill Ayers as a founder of the Weathermen and Weather Underground and also founder of the Students for Democratic Society SDS on the campus of the University of Michigan. The University of Michigan had held the first sit-in against the war. John McCain and the other 600 Vietnam POWs believe Bill Ayers was responsible for prolonging the war and causing them to receive extra beatings by the North Vietnamese for refusing to show their exuberance for the antiwar effort in the United States. The North Vietnamese fought even harder and refused to negotiate or return our POWs given the organized antiwar protests in the United States. All the North Vietnamese had to do was wait and domestic antiwar protests orchestrated by Bill Ayers would cause the United States to surrender. John McCain spent five and half years as a POW and personally received extra beatings because of Bill Ayers. Barack Obama views Bill Ayers as a reformed domestic terrorist who did despicable things in the past but should be given a second chance today. For Barack Obama there was never a need to keep a distance from Bill Ayers. Maybe if Barack Obama could have walked in John McCains shoes for just one day and suffered just one of the extra beatings that John McCain endured for five and a half years because of Bill Ayers and his Weathermen antiwar movement then maybe Barack Obama might appreciate a need to keep a distance from Bill Ayers. Along with the SDS Students for Democratic Society, Weathermen Underground, the Black Panther Party also actively opposed the Vietnam War. Barack Obama received the support of Southside Chicago Congressman and former Black Panther party member Bobby L. Rush during his bid for the Illinois Senate. The Black Panther Party along with the Weathermen Underground prolonged John McCains captivity and caused him to receive extra beatings. It is ironic that Bill Ayers led the antiwar protests during the Vietnam era that caused John McCain to receive extra beatings and to experience nearly six years of captivity, and today Barack Obama has been leading antiwar calls against the Iraq war. Barack Obama can not understand why John McCain is not happy that Barack Obama has not kept a distance from Bill Ayers. If Barack Obama had walked in John McCains or any of the other 600 American POW???s shoes one day, he would have no problem understanding why he should have kept his distance from Bill Ayers. The word shunning comes to mind. If Barack Obama would have shunned Bill Ayers and members of the Black Panthers Party there would be no issue in tonights debate.

      You McCain supporters are absolutely amazing! Now Bill Ayers is responsible for the Vietnam War. You republicans will make up anything and think you are smart enough to pull it off. Maybe McCain suffered for five years in as a POW becasue before the Vietcons shot down his plane he was bombing villages killing both women and children. Vietnam never came to McCain's neighborhood or his country and killed any U.S. citizen, but the U.S. had a right to go there and kill their citizens right? I will give you some credit if you can explain to us why the U.S. had the right to go to Vietnam and kill their citizens, and two what would you do to a captured fighter pilot from Vietnam if he was shot down as he was bombing your neighborhood? How do you think Jesus and God felt about McCain bombing those villages? Do you think God blessed him and the U.S. for killing women and children? Understand what McCain and the U.S, was doing before you blindly accept it for something God blessed. McCain got no worse then any fighter pilot would have gotten if he was caught bombing any town in America. McCain was caught killing Women and Children and destroying whole villages of people who never did a thing to McCain or his country and you think Bill Ayers is the cause of McCain's suffering? Wow you are totally off base and you don't know what you are talking about. The only way you can justify McCain's and the U.S.' actions in Vietnam is you have to believe the Vietnamese are less then human and they deserved to die at the hands of U.S. soldiers so the U.S. could further a failed program. Please, please, please give us one good reason why McCain and the U.S. had a right to do what they did to the Vietnamese, please! Then I'll feel sorry for him. I know for sure if you would have caught a fighter pilot in your neighborhood killing your family and friends not only would he not have lived for five years he would have been severly tortured and killed no questions ask, rigjht?

    October 14, 2008 - New York - The American Jewish Committee (AJC) has condemned the Rev. Jesse Jackson's statement about 'Zionists who have controlled American policy for decades.'
    "Rev. Jackson's remarks, which appeared in an interview with the journalist Amir Taheri in today's New York Post, echo classic anti-Semitic conspiracy theories about Jewish power," said AJC Executive Director David A. Harris. 'This statement, regrettably, is not the first troubling comment by Rev. Jackson regarding Israel, Zionism and the Jewish people.'

    Arguing as a private citizen that an Obama administration could bring significant change to U.S. foreign policy, Jackson was quoted as saying that "Zionists who have controlled American policy for decades" would lose much of their influence should Senator Obama be elected president."

    And people are upset about raciest comments some in the crowd are allegedly saying at Palin events? Isn't this the same Democrat leader who once called New York "Hymietown"?

    Bill Ayers the Weathermen bomb maker is two years younger than Ted Kaczynski the Unabomber, but both have Chicago connections and both received degrees from the University of Michigan about the same time. Bill Ayers received an undergraduate degree in American studies and Ted Kazinski received his Phd in mathematics from the University of Michigan a year earlier than Bill Ayers???s undergraduate degree from the University of Michigan. Not only a founder of the Weathermen Underground, Bill Ayers was a leader and organizer of the Students for Democratic Society SDS at the University of Michigan. Bill Ayers went on to get his Masters in teaching at Columbia in 1987.


    Lets look at the educational credentials of each individual:

    Ted Kaczynski, Unabomber: Harvard BA, University of Michigan Phd.
    Bill Ayers: University of Michigan BA, Columbia University Masters in Ed.
    Barack Obama: Columbia University BA and Harvard J.D.


    It does seem curious that these three individuals each have two degrees and all the degrees for the three individuals only come from three institutions of higher learning, Harvard, Columbia and the University of Michigan. The timing is curious too.

    Perhaps there is a nexus further than all three being raised in Chicago and all three going to these three universities.
