BARACK OBAMA - THE NEW MESSIAH ? Averthanus L. D'Souza. Excerpt: It is the supreme irony of our times that "Democrats" are undermining the very basis of true democracy which is government of the people, for the people, by the people, by investing in their government powers which no government is competent to handle. Mario observes: The excerpt above shows a complete lack of knowledge of what the modern American Democrat party has stood for since the Great Depression in the 1930's - as much government intervention in the economy and people's lives as they can get away with. Messiah???!!! Only for the far left wing political fringe and American Caucasians seeking to assuage their guilt over past slavery and those who oppose the liberation of 25 million Iraqis who now have the opportunity to experience freedom and democracy, thanks to President Bush, who almost single-handedly defied most of the rest of the world to provide this epic opportunity to the Iraqis. No one I met in India wants to discuss why the radical Muslim fanatics and other assorted left wingers - many of who enjoy freedom and democracy themselves - were so desperately and vehemently opposed to the liberation of Iraq, preferring to obsess on the missing WMDs which the whole world knew Saddam Hussein had, had used against Iran and his own people, and never disclosed what he had done with, even at the risk of his cushy dictatorship, which he had massacred hundreds of thousands in order to preserve. 17 UN resolutions over 12 years are stark proof of this, which the left wingers prefer to obfuscate. Of course, if one only listens to everything Barack Obama has to say and ignores everything he has actually done, he is the greatest thing since sliced bread, especially in his own mind. The facts are that he is a political chela of the infamous left wing community agitator, Saul Alinsky, one of Obama's many far left wing gurus along with the proponents of the Chicago school of black liberation theology like Rev. Wright and Fr. Phleger. Barack Obama is also one of the most self-centered and radical left wing Americans - just peruse the list of his past political relationships and alliances - to ever be elected to the US presidency, and is even to the left of Franklin Roosevelt, whose vote bank politics Obama now seeks to copy at the expense of the productive sectors of America. The Messiah nonsense is in the eye of his various beholders and is at complete variance with anything in his background and experience and lack of any significant legislative achievements. The proof lies in his mere 150 days or so in the US Senate before beginning to campaign for President. In the Senate, he did not author a single piece of legislation but signed on to legislation initiated by others, while finding the time to write not one, but two self-serving biographies. During the campaign he was able to fool enough Democrats to nominate him, including the shocked Clintons, and Bill Clinton was moved to accuse Obama of playing the race card and even called him a "Chicago Thug". Excerpt: The debate as to whether socialism is preferable to capitalism will continue for some time to come; ... Mario observes: Averthanus, kitem mhontai, re? Any debate has already been overtaken by actual events. Real socialism has been dead for quite some time now, relegated to the thrash heap of history where it belongs by all it's major proponents like India, China, Russia, etc. and now only to be found in abject economic basket cases like Zimbabwe, Cuba, Venezuela, N. Korea, etc. Western Europe is moving away from extreme socialism whereas Barack Obama, ignoring the experience of everyone else, is proposing to take America to the left. Even the seeds of the current financial crisis are to be found in his socialist notion of "spreading the wealth" by government fiat by forcing the banks to lend to unqualified borrowers to encourage them to own their own homes. This started under Jimmy Carter's Community Reinvestment Act, was dormant under Republican regimes but expanded under Bill Clinton and later protected and defended by the Democrat party, with Obama being the largest annual recipient of political contributions by the PACs of Fannie mae and Freddie Mac which were complicit in the economically faulty scheme. John McCain and President Bush tried to slow down the juggernaut but did not have the votes, and the mainstream media tagged McCain with the crisis, which is one of the biggest falsehoods in modern journalism. Prior to that McCain had overtaken Obama in the polls after he chose the charismatic Sarah Palin as his running mate - a real political achiever and reformer by any standards as her stellar achievements in Alaska have proven beyond any doubt, where she even included Democrats to her cabinet and took on and defeated corrupt politicians, some from her own party, and powerful oil company executives as well. In the meantime Obama has no significant record of working with the opposition when he had the chance, though he talks of inclusion, and remains one of the most partisan politicians in America. Fortunately, he is not likely to be around for more than one term, because radical Islam is likely to take advantage of his learning curve both in Israel and elsewhere and the US economy to struggle under the weight of his vote bank spending and outsourcing protectionist measures to reward his union supporters at the expense of low-cost service providers like India, but he will do severe damage in the meantime.
