I recently read David Horowitz's column on ratcheting down the rhetoric on Obama. He states that he has a growing concern that conservatives are name calling like liberals did to GWB.  Full disclosure I am a very big fan of  David Horowitz, his book Radical Son really completed my conversion from left to right but we're going to have to part ways on this one.  Anti-christ and Mussolini are some of the names used to label Obama by conservatives. I read a lot of columns like David's, I listen and watch conservatives on radio and t.v. but have never heard those names applied to Obama. What I have heard attributed to our new president are terms like socialist, collectivist, and marxist. The latter probably the most inflammatory. Are these labels appropiate? Yes. I prefer marxist because I think it's the most accurate. Increasingly in our great country we aren't calling things and people by their rightful labels and names. Illegal immigrants are called just migrant workers in any news story especially if they are involved in a crime. The term "War on Terror" is being dropped. Nationalized healthcare is now called "Universal" healthcare. I could go on, the list is long and very Orwellian. In every stage of  Obama's life from his childhood to his political career he has been mentored by marxists, and has said as much. Starting with his mother who was a radical in her own right. In Hawaii he sought guidance from a poet named "Frank" as referenced in his first book 'Dreams'. Well doing the minimal amount of research shows that "Frank" is none other than Frank Marshall Davis member of the CPUSA.  "Frank" was brought before the House of Un-American Activities Commities, government documents show this. In the same book our new president states that in college he attached himself to marxist professors along with other leftist groups. As a state legislator in Illinois his mentor according to him was Alice Palmer. Palmer is a known leftist and is currently a member of many communist front groups. In the early 80's she traveled to the Soviet Union to sit in on their congress and returned to the states with rave reviews of the Soviet system and their progressive policies. At the start of Obama's poltical jump-off he had a "coffee" held at the house of none other than Bill Ayers, a well respected professor and academic, according to Obama. A house also shared by Bernadine Dohrn. At one point named one of  America's most dangerous  people Dorhn is now considered a noble barrister. There are more examples, but finally he spent 20 years in a church that preeched Black Liberation Theology. BLT is nothing more than marxist ideology cloaked in Christianity. It's roots originating from central american marxists. Jonah Goldberg quotes George Carlin in his book 'Liberal Fascism' from the Bill Maher show. "When fascism comes to America, it will not be in brown and black shirts. It will not be with jack-boots. It will be Nike sneakers and Smiley shirts". No doubtedly he was mocking conservatives but we should all take something from this. After WWII communists/marxists hid their beliefs and associations. In the 70's marxists we're very vocal about their ideologies even going so far as claiming a certain brand if you will, Maoist, Trotskyite, and the like. After vietnam the New Left movement  was essentially over.  What happened was they,  in my belief  came up with a new strategy.  Stop with the crazy protests, bathe, put on a suit and tie,  become part of the system, become politicians, teachers, judges and lawyers changing the system from within. Now they have the perfect spokesmodel in the White House. He's a handsome man that has a great voice and can read a teleprompter very well. He's  young, hip, and innoculated from criticism because people are afraid of being called racists. We have to start calling ducks ducks and marxists marxists. Like McCain said, "don't be fooled by lofty rhetoric and empty calls for change".  And remember this. Communism won't come in the form of berets embroidered with the hammer and sickle on the side or some kids wearing some Che shirts. It will come with somebody wearing a suit or pant suit with an  American flag pin on their lapel telling you that they can provide you with healthcare, higher education, baby bonds, housing, and more. All you have to do is vote for them.
