Friends Show the Way To The Editor:“Show me your friends and I’ll tell you what you’ll become,” is an astute assertion. President [Barack] Obama’s myriad colleagues and friends are a potpourri of revolutionary activists and admirers of Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro and Mao Tse-Tung. They are advising, counseling and fundamentally transforming America in the name of social, redistributive and environmental justice. Van Jones stated in an interview that his environmental activism was a means to fight for racial and class “justice”, and that he was a “rowdy black nationalist” and a “communist”. Mark Lloyd said he “found inspiration and guidance in the insurgent revolutionary strategies developed by third world revolutionaries like Mao Tse-Tung”. At a 2008 “media reform” conference, he declared, “The Marxist revolution in Venezuela under Chavez was incredible and dramatic.” Anita Dunn, the White House communications director, in a speech to students confided that, “Two of my favorite political philosophers are Mao Tse-Tung and Mother Teresa…the two people I turn to most often.” Cass Sunstein believes economic crises provide “the most promising conditions for the emergence of socialism in the U.S.” Remember Rahm Emanuel’s exhortation, “Never let a crisis go to waste”? Bill Ayers, a neighbor and colleague, characterized his political beliefs, “I am a radical leftist, small “c” communist… maybe I’m the last communist who is willing to admit it.” In a New York Times interview on Sept. 11, 2001, he is quoted, “I don’t regret setting bombs. I feel we didn’t do enough.” The weekly sermons of Reverend Wright and advice of these “friends” and their effect and influence cannot be dismissed. We are left with a portrait of a president surrounded by persons inspired not by our Founding Fathers or the Constitution, but by tyrants and dictators propagating a tyrannical ideology with a legacy of brutality and crimes against humanity.
There is no doubt about where we are going, what we are becoming and who is leading us there. |
