How I know Obama is a Communist - ALAN KEYES

Loyal to Liberty

Alan Keyes

THOUGHTLET

What signals the difference between a "socialist" and a "communist"? It's the gradual repression of political and civil liberty culminating in the open prosecution and suppression of dissident views. But this suppression cannot come about until a monopoly has been established over access to the seats of government executive and decision making power. The key manifestation of this monopoly is of course some form of party dictatorship.

Aside from all the evidence in his known background, associates, policy preferences and political actions one of the main reasons I make bold to call Obama a communist is his grab for unchecked partisan control over the conduct of the next census. Skillful manipulation of the census could make the decisive contribution to establishing an electorally unchallengeable party monopoly, which would then provide the basis for consolidating party dictatorship. If such dictatorship were not part of their agenda, the Obama faction would leave ultimate oversight of the census process where the Constitution places it, in the hands of the legislative branch. As it clearly is part of their agenda, only ignorance or willful stupidity blinds people to Obama's ambition to establish a better tailored version of Soviet-style government in the U.S.

Of course, there may be another name for what keeps some of the so-called Republicans from speaking out about it. Could it be cowardice?

The only (sane) reasoned conclusion is ignorance, and here is how I got there.

Once long ago I had a college Professor tell his students, for which I was one, that many in power will either, willfully misrepresent the information/truth for their own benefit or they are blissfully ignorant. He concluded the lecture by saying, in either case when you find such, they should be avoided. They are ‘dangerous’ to the well being of a nation and its core principles.

A second lesson of wisdom was articulated with this “If they are not addressing/fixing the problem, they are part of the problem, if not the problem itself. – be it,  Economy, Census,  Debt, Constitutional eligibility, Borders, Bail-outs, Energy, Education, “LIFE”,  Family, War, etc, etc, etc,   They are the problem. -Ignorant-   

Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But
then I repeat myself.  -- Mark Twain

In my many years I have come to a conclusion that one useless man is a
shame, two is a law firm and three or more is a congress.  -- John Adams

There is no economic crisis, no food crisis or environmental crisis. There is only a crisis of ignorance. -'Bucky' Fuller

Ignorance is mans invention, a gift unto himself, but then so is knowledge, wisdom and truth.

Dr. Keyes: the only condition that politicians frequently grant themselves, is the favor of making ignorance,…a 'VIRTUE'.

God willing, AIP is the remedy.

As for cowardice,..

On cowardice;

“If a leader allows weariness to so grip the mind that its strength is sapped and reason gives up the reins, if a leader is so overcome by heavy-hearted sleep (lazy) that he neglects to do what the duty of his office requires…--like the cowardly ship’s captain who is so disheartened by the furious din of the storm that he deserts the helm, hides away cowering in some cranny, and abandons the ship to the waves—if a leader does this, I would certainly not hesitate to juxtapose and compare his sadness with the sadness that leads as Paul says, to hell….” -St. Thomas More

'Just' Leaders are [men] of ,.. the four 'C's

"Courage, Character, Commited to the Constitution and of 'good' Conscience".

-not the other "c' -cowardice

"Bold Courage,  Bold Courage -always Bold Courage"

Gen. George Patton’s favorite saying was a French saying of Frederick the Great: “L’audace, l’audace, toujours l’audace.” En anglais … “Audacity, audacity, always audacity.”
