- - - And, of course, what Ayers has is selective memory, not failed memory. When he was more haughty about his terrorist exploits, he wrote, for example: "Everything was absolutely ideal on the day I bombed the Pentagon. The sky was blue. The birds were singing. And the bastards were finally going to get what was coming to them." If it was this easy to get witnesses to perceive, recall and relate, I might have stayed in the trial lawyer biz. Dohrn, too, had a keen sense of detail, gushing over the barbaric Manson Family murders: "Dig it! First they killed those pigs, then they ate dinner in the same room with them. They even shoved a fork into the victim's stomach! Wild!" But the larger point is this: We are too hung up on the word terrorist. Yes, Ayers was a terrorist, but he's not anymore in the sense that he hasn't bombed anything in a long time. He is, however, and he has always been, a radical leftist revolutionary. Don't take my word for it - he proudly says it himself, as I detailed in this post yesterday. That was the ideology that drove him to bomb American targets, it is the ideology he has taken to America's classrooms (which are just a different front in the same war he has been raging against our society for 40 years), it is the ideology he has never hidden from anyone, and - here's the point - it is the ideology that drove his partnership with Barack Obama. That's the reason Obama is minimizing the relationship. Obama and Ayers worked well together - happily funding the same communists, socialists, America haters, Israel haters, etc. - because they were ideologically aligned. Obama is smoother and more marketable than Ayers, but ideologically they're coming from the same place: American society needs drastic change. And if you want to know the change Obama and Ayers have in mind, look at what they did at the Chicago Annenberg Challenge. Look at Obama's Chicago years, which explains why Ayers and Dohrn would host the launching of his political career from their living room. That's where Obama doesn't want to go - because if voters look there, he's toast. - - - And what's scary is Ayers is typical, not the exception, of Obama's early political alliances (I think they are much more than mere accidental associations). Khalid Mansouri (who helped him get his Harvard Law Review post) and Raila Odinga (his political soul mate and actual cousin in Kenya) are even scarier on a lot of levels because they're not just professors polluting the minds of vulnerable youth, but actual leaders of radical movements that kill people today. By the way he got a ringing endorsement from Farrakhan recently as well. I don't know what it will take to get people to see who this guy really is. It may be too late. I also don't know what it will take to get people to see that the current financial mess has its roots in government intervention and not, as is supposed, the free market run wild. The Community Reinvestment Act of Bill Clinton, and the Dems refusal after they took power in 2006 to act with respect to Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac's gamble in the subprime mortgage industry (the real proximate cause of the current meltdown in the credit markets) are the real culprits. Yes, greed on Wall Street was a factor, but it was the government intervention to encourage those predatory lending practices in the guise of helping the poor own a piece of the American dream that led to this disaster. These two myths--that Obama is some kind of moderate uniting figure, the Anti-Bush as it were, and that the market meltdown is a failure of laissez faire capitalism--are setting us up for tyranny on a scale we simply don't imagine. The Hard Left lost 2 totalitarian regimes under Bush. That was his real sin in their eyes, particularly Hussein's, and they're making a major move to overturn our constitutional republic from within and without in response. If you all think you were duped by Dubya, you ain't seen nothin' yet. - Bob _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
