OBAMA HAS

and will continue to get a free ride from the press and the political establishment.  We’re still living in a world where it is more dangerous and more frowned upon to honestly discuss a politician’s leftist ideology and leftist life influences than it is to be a politician who led that life on the left.  Well Obama has led that life and we need to talk about it. 

During Obama’s teen years, one of the men who influence him enough to write about it was a man named Frank Marshall Davis, a committed man of the left with years of experience in the Soviet Union’s various communist front groups and political parties.  Never in our history have we had a President who’s grown up so much on the left and within the left — the real true radical left.  No one is suggesting that Obama is the Manchurian candidate, but everyone is becoming aware that Obama not simply another standard issue old school liberal like Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter or Lyndon Johnson.  He’s something we’ve never seen before, and it will be interesting to see to what extent traditional Democrats in the press and around the country are roused or repelled by a politician with a genuine radical paternity — something the Democrats have mostly rejected outside of very short periods in the late 1940s or the early 1970s.  And even Henry Wallace and George McGovern in their growing up were very far from textbook raised lefty radicals — they were much more men of the farm country who were used as vessel by radical activists for their own ends.  Barack Obama is something very different.  How different is the great mystery of the Presidential election.  And most everyone in the political class remains too intimidated by the power of the leftist idea within the establishment to make any effort to find out.

UPDATE:  Bumped back to the top:

Any chance John McCain knows who Saul Alinsky or Franz Fanon are?  They’re some of Barack Obama’s hero’s and influences,
and I’m rather certain John McCain is beyond his pay grade going up
against someone with this sort of background ..

Here’s a picture of Barack
Obama in Chicago teaching the principles of Saul Alinsky. Notice the
flow chart indicating the flow of money and power out of productive
businesses (“CORP”) and into the political class (“MAYOR”):
 
 

The heading at the top reads “POWER ANALYSIS”. The sub-heading
reads “RELATIONSHIPS BUILD ON SELF INTEREST”. The symbol on the arrow
between “CORP” and “MAYOR” is the “$” sign.
