The Roots of Obama’s Rage - Facts About Obama’s Vision and Background GB-9.29.10

There are too many things that just don’t make sense… We must start asking ourselves why and where the president’s decisions come from!

Nothing seems to make sense because we are looking at things through the wrong glasses.  We must do our homework and start looking at the president’s decisions through his eyes… his beliefs.

Fox Video: Exploring the ‘Roots of Obama’s Rage’

Left wing bloggers often write:  Glenn Beck finds secret socialists and shadowy conspiracies everywhere… but if you really watch his TV  show or listen to his radio show, you know that is not true.  Beck, more than anyone encourages people to question everything with boldness, to do your own research, follow your gut and use common sense.  This past week he even got the NY Times to write an overall fair piece about him.  Earlier this year both Beck #12 and Palin #9 made the Time Magazine Top 100 List of 2010.

Problem -  Too many Americans are too afraid, too lazy or too programmed to admit or look at our problems.  That is what the Progressives are counting on and have counted on… and gotten away with for 100+ years.

We are in trouble if more of America does not wake up!

Fact -  300 organization who align themselves with or are actual socialists, Communists, Marxists, Progressives or radicals or some sort are lining up to support Saturday’s ONE NATION rally in Washington.  It is being promoted on the Communist Party’s website.

Barack Obama cannot be connected to all the socialist organizations on the board above and at the same time be for mom, apple pie, the flag and America… It is impossible!

Opinion -  News shows used to tell you when they were giving their opinions…editorializing.  Now they mix opinion with a few facts and don’t tell you the difference.  They purposely have you believe that their opinion or slant the news… the actual truth.

49% of all Americans watch and trust Fox News over all other outlets because they are the best at separating fact from opinion and balancing their coverage.  They are not perfect,  and lean more to the middle in their news shows, and middle right in their opinon shows, but they admit it and bring on balancing contributors giving you a fighting chance, if you start with them and then do your own research, to find the truth and get the greatest mixture of news on TV.

The White House has been attacking Dinesh D-Souza’s new book, The Roots of Obama's Rage… Why?   Beck addresses our confusion as to the lack of common sense coming from the White House by  using the facts researched and presented by Dinesh D’Souza so that we/you can make a decision.  You should worry when people tell you not to read anything.

The Roots of Obama's Rage

Forbes Article:  How Obama Thinks…

Dinesh is the president of Kings College in New York City.  He said his goal was to understand and find the facts behind Obama Jr.’s thought process and his link to Obama Sr.’s thoughts.

Barack Hussein Obama Sr. came to America in the 50’s as a student.  He married Obama’s mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, in Hawaii.  Obama Sr. had drinking problems and a colorful life.  (If you do your homework a lot of the facts and dates just don’t quite line up with the official story….)

Obama idealized his father based on dreams and ideas put in tohis head by his mother.  Obama Sr was an African socialist.  He wrote an article: Problems With Our Socialism  (There's a big mystery at the heart of (President-elect) Barack Obama's Dreams From My Father:  A Story of Race and Inheritance.)  Two main points of his paper:

  • We need to eliminate power structures in existence…
  • Nothing stops the government from taxing 100% if they give commensurate benefits

There is only one photo of Obama and his father and he only visited with him once, but Barry (young Obama) has been on a lifelong quest to emulate Obama Sr.,  in every way.

Obama’s African Grandmother Sarah said that young Obama took on everything of this father’s beliefs… his father who was an African Socialist. …a Muslim… an Anti-Colonialist…  Therefore, Obama sees everything from that perspective as well:  the world is split into two groups:  the Colonizers  and  Colonized. 

This is the same granny who said she was present at Obama’s birth… in Kenya.

Newt Gingrich said to National Review Online recently, "What if [Obama] is so outside our comprehension, that only if you understand Kenyan, anti-colonial behavior, can you begin to piece together [his actions]?" Gingrich's comment sparked off Dinesh D'Souza's Forbes article, which argues that America is "governed by the ghost" of Obama's "Luo tribesman" father.

But let's not forget the white-liberal neocolonialism of his mother, which influenced him too. In Dreams from My Father, Obama reveals just as many or more dreams from his mother, the Ford Foundation anthropologist who introduced enlightened liberal ideology to the native tribes of Indonesia. There in that "land" of "fatalism," Obama writes, "she was a lonely witness for secular humanism, a soldier for New Deal, Peace Corps, position-paper liberalism."

Obama only saw his father once after his parents divorced, so it was Obama’s mother that inspired Obama’s dreams and formed his ideas.  See:  Neocolonial Dreams from Obama’s Mother

ShoreBank, Obama’s Mother and Geithner’s Father – Hmmm  Coincidences?

Ann Dunham, Obama’s mother, in large part loved Barack Hussain Obama Sr. for his anti-colonialist beliefs. After their divorce she married Lolo Sotoro because she believed that Lolo was also an anti-colonialist.  Their marriage began to deteriorate because Lolo began to modify his beliefs and alliances. 

Ann sent young Barack (now adopted and named Barry Sotoro) to Hawaii  to be raised by her parents because she wanted him raised with her/their values.

AYERS  - Weather Underground & Anti-Colonialist

UNGER – Brazilian Anti-Colonial Legal Scholar

REVEREND WRIGHT – Liberation Theologist and Anti-Colonialist  -  Obama Learned the “Precepts of Jesus Christ” from Rev. Wright

Not familiar with Anti-Colonialism… a belief that divides the world into 2-camps…. a belief that focuses on the evil of  conquerors or white Europeans and their allies (now America) verses the conquered… the 3rd World.

Being Glenn Beck: What Did Glenn Think About His NY Times Cover Story?

nyt

We‘re not sure if this will cause the earth’s axis to shift, but Glenn Beck is on the cover of The New York Times Magazine. In it, we learn who Glenn’s demeanor “conjures”:

Beck has a square, boyish face, an alternately plagued and twinkle-eyed demeanor that conjures (when Beck is wearing glasses) the comedian Drew Carey. He is 6-foot-2, which is slightly jarring when you first meet him, because he is all head and doughiness on television; I never thought of Beck as big or small, just as someone who was suddenly ubiquitous and who talked a lot and said some really astonishing things, to a point where it made you wonder — constantly — whether he was being serious.

Drew Carey? Maybe it’s the libertarian thing.  The article is long and informative.  You can read the ‘complete story’ hereBelow is the last page of the the article…

Beck’s Anchorage show started late — around 9 p.m. — and Beck was still speaking as 11 o’clock approached. He kept going, and going, and delivered a stem-winding ending about how George Washington became terrified at the end of his life about doing something that would dishonor himself and his country. I looked around the crowd of about 4,000, and it seemed no one had left. The room was perfectly silent after two hours plus — late on a Saturday night — to hear a self-described “recovering dirtbag” with not a single college credit to his name teach them history.

Sitting in his Mercury Radio Arts office three days later, Beck told me that he, too, noticed the silence and was astounded. “If someone had told me, ‘Hey, why don’t you tell some history stories at the end, and there will be dead silence,’ I’d have said, ‘No way.’ ” Beck has great distrust of success, especially his own. Friends say he is terrified of something going wrong, someone in his audience “doing something stupid” (presumably code for violence). There is a certain boyish disbelief in Beck as he engages in his real-time assessment, often on the air. “I told my wife, ‘I can’t believe I actually have reporters following me to Alaska,’ ” he said. (Note: reporter’s wife said the same thing.)

Beck told me that he recently threw away all of his old tapes from his Morning Zoo years, so his kids could not hear them. He has no idea what his role is in the political firmament. The notion seems to bore him. His most animated attacks on Obama in the days after the “Restoring Honor” rally were over his take on the president’s religious convictions, which Beck called “a perversion of the Gospel of Jesus Christ as most Christians know it.”

He is fragile, on the edge. There is no template for him or for where he is headed. “I have not prepared my whole life to be here,” Beck told me from his plush couch, his face turning bright pink. “I prepared my whole life to be in a back alley.” I expected him to cry, but he did not.

Mark Leibovich is a reporter in the Washington bureau of The Times. He last wrote for the magazine about Mike Allen of Politico.

When Glenn talked about it on the radio this morning, he had not yet had time to read the entire report. Here’s his early take:

The Coming Insurrection

If you have not read the book:    and you really want to know what is going on… get a copy and read it today!!  It is a must read!

The Coming Insurrection (Semiotext(e) / Intervention)

The left has decided to have their own rally… ONE NATION Working Together (10.2.10)… as a answer to Beck’s RESTORE HONOR Rally 8.28.10).  ONE NATION is being supported by the Communist party and supported by 300 socialist, Marxist and Progressive  and Big Union money groups plus the White House.  RESTORE HONOR was promoted by Glenn Beck alone, inspired by his belief in the Constitution and God, and financially paid for by Beck and supported by individual donators… whose money went to wounded warriors and troop related organizations.

You need to ask yourself why our President  is supporting a rally supported by Communists, Socialists, Progressives and Marxists and sending out emails for people to come to the rally?

Beck Backlash:  ONE NATION Rally Union Coalitions busing in Astr0 Turf Members to Show up Beck and Tea Party

Why does Obama keep quoting the Declaration of Independence and leaving out the words “the Creator”?  He was asked about it the first time… and he said it was an omission.  But then two weeks later he did it again.

{Update}  Revisionist Recitation:  Obama Omits ‘Creator While Quoting Declaration (again)

Why is this a huge problem??  Because that fact that our rights come from a Creator ( not Christian or Jewish or any specific religion's God or Creator), but a higher power… and not man is at the crux of our system and values.  The fact that our President either doesn’t understand that or doesn’t believe that is huge!!

The Roots of Obama's Rage

Forbes Article:  How Obama Thinks…

More details on this tomorrow~

Israeli Psychologist on Obama - A very interesting analysis on Obama!

Dr. Sam Vaknin is an Israeli psychologist. Interesting view on our new president. Dr. Vaknin has written extensively about narcissism.

Dr. Vaknin States "I must confess I was impressed by Obama from the first time I saw him.  At first I was excited to see a black candidate. He looked youthful, spoke well, appeared to be confident -- a wholesome presidential package.  I was put off soon, not just because of his shallowness but also because there was an air of haughtiness in his demeanor that was unsettling. His posture and his body language were louder than his empty words. Obama's speeches are unlike any political speech we have heard in American history.  Never a politician in this land had such quasi "religious" impact on so many people.

The  fact that Obama is a total incognito with Zero accomplishment, makes this inexplicable infatuation alarming. Obama is not an ordinary man.  He is not a genius.  In fact he is quite ignorant on most important subjects."

Dr. Sam Vaknin, the author of the Malignant Self-love: Narcissism Revisited believes "Barack Obama appears to be a narcissist."  Vaknin is a world authority on narcissism.  He understands narcissism and describes the inner mind of a narcissist like no other person. When he talks about narcissism everyone listens.  Vaknin says that Obama's language, posture and demeanor, and the testimonies of his closest, dearest friends suggest that the man is either a narcissist or he may have narcissistic personality disorder (NPD).

Narcissists project a grandiose but false image of themselves. Jim Jones, the charismatic leader of People's Temple, the man who led over 900 of his followers to cheerfully commit mass suicide and even murder their own children was also a narcissist. David Koresh, Charles Manson, Joseph Koni, Shoko Asahara, Stalin, Saddam, Mao, Kim Jong  Ill  and Adolph Hitler are a few examples of narcissists of our time. All these men had a tremendous influence over their fanciers.  They created a personality cult around themselves and with their blazing speeches elevated their admirers, filled their hearts with enthusiasm and instilled in their minds a new zest for life.  They gave them hope! They promised them the moon, but alas, invariably they brought them to their doom.

When you are a victim of a cult of personality, you don't know it until it is too late.  One determining factor in the development of NPD is childhood abuse  "Obama's early life was decidedly chaotic and replete with traumatic and mentally bruising dislocations, “says Vaknin.  "Mixed-race marriages were even less common then.  His parents went through a divorce when he was an infant two years old.  Obama saw his father only once again, before he died in a car accident.  Then his mother re-married and Obama had to relocate to  Indonesia , a foreign land with a radically foreign culture, to be raised by a step-father.  At the age of ten, he was whisked off to live with his maternal (white) grandparents. He saw his mother only intermittently in the following few years and then she vanished from his life in 1979.  "She died of cancer in 1995."

One must never underestimate the manipulative genius of pathological narcissists.  They project such an imposing personality that it overwhelms those around them.  Charmed by the charisma of the narcissist, people become like clay in his hands.  They cheerfully do his bidding and delight to be at his service.  The narcissist shapes the world around himself and reduces others in his own inverted image.  He creates a cult of personality.  His admirers become his co-dependents. Narcissists have no interest in things that do not help them to reach their personal objective.  They are focused on one thing alone and that is power.  All other issues are meaningless to them and they do not want to waste their precious time on trivialities.  Anything that does not help them is beneath them and does not deserve their attention.

If an issue raised in the Senate does not help Obama in one way or another, he has no interest in it.  The "present" vote is a safe vote.  No one can criticize him if things go wrong.  Those issues are unworthy by their very nature because they are not about him.
Obama's election as the first black president of the Harvard Law Review led to a contract and advance to write a book about race relations.  The University  of  Chicago Law School provided him a lot longer than expected and at the end it evolved into, guess what?  His own autobiography! Instead of writing a scholarly paper focusing on race relations, for which he had been paid, Obama could not resist writing about his most sublime self.  He entitled the book Dreams from My Father.

Not surprisingly, Adolph Hitler also wrote his own autobiography when he was still a nobody.  So did Stalin.  For a narcissist no subject is as important as his own self.  Why would he waste his precious time and genius writing about insignificant things when he can write about such an august being as himself?

Narcissists are often callous and even ruthless.  As the norm, they lack conscience.  This is evident from Obama's lack of interest in his own brother who lives on only one dollar per month. A man who lives in luxury, who takes a private jet to vacation in Hawaii, and who raised nearly half a billion dollars for his campaign (something unprecedented in history) has no interest in the plight of his own brother. Why?  Because, his brother cannot be used for his ascent to power.  A narcissist cares for no one but himself.

This election was like no other in the history of America .  The issues were insignificant compared to what is at stake.  What can be more dangerous than having a man bereft of conscience, a serial liar, and one who cannot distinguish his fantasies from reality as the leader of the free world?

I hate to sound alarmist, but one is a fool if one is not alarmed. Many politicians are narcissists.  They pose no threat to others. They are simply self serving and selfish.  Obama evidences symptoms of pathological narcissism, which is different from the run-of-the-mill narcissism of a Richard Nixon or a Bill Clinton for example.  To him reality and fantasy are intertwined.
This is a mental health issue, not just a character flaw.

Pathological narcissists are dangerous because they look normal and even intelligent.  It is this disguise that makes them treacherous.  Today the Democrats have placed all their hopes in Obama.  But this man could put an end to their party.  The great majority of blacks voted for Obama.  Only a fool does not know that their support for him is racially driven.  This is racism, pure and simple.

The  downside of this is that if Obama turns out to be the disaster I predict, he will cause widespread resentment among the whites. The blacks are unlikely to give up their support of their man. Cultic mentality is pernicious and unrelenting.  They will dig their heads deeper in the sand and blame Obama's detractors of racism.  This will cause a backlash among the whites.  The white supremacists will take advantage of the discontent and they will receive widespread support.  I predict that in less than four years, racial tensions will increase to levels never seen since the turbulent 1960's.

Obama will set the clock back decades.   America  is the bastion of freedom.  The peace of the world depends on the strength of  America, and its weakness translates into the triumph of terrorism and victory of rogue nations.  It is no wonder that Ahmadinejad, Hugo Chavez, the Castrists, the Hezbollah, the Hamas, the lawyers of the Guantanamo terrorists and virtually all sworn enemies of America  are so thrilled by the prospect of their man in the White House.

America  is on the verge of destruction.  There is no insanity greater than electing a pathological narcissist as president.

*Both Charles Krauthammer and Monica Crowley, in separate unrelated interviews, referred to Obama as a narcissist on the O’Reilly Factor today (9.28.10).

Religion in America: Are We Religion Illiterate?

Pew-2  -  Regilion in America Knowledge Chart

If you’re an atheist or agnostic, you might know the most about religion in America. That’s just one of the surprising finds in a new study by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life, as reported by CNN. The Pew gauged America’s religious knowledge by using a quiz.

World's Smallest  Bible

Among the findings:

  • Most Americans scored 50 percent or less on a quiz measuring knowledge of the Bible, world religions and what the Constitution says about religion in public life.
  • Those who believe the Bible is the literal word of God did slightly worse than average, while those who say it is not the word of God scored slightly better.
  • It’s not Bible-belt Southerners who scored highest – they came at the bottom.
  • Barely half of all Catholics know that when they take communion, the bread and wine literally become the body and blood of Christ, according to Catholic doctrine.
  • Only eight of the 3,412 survey respondents got all 32 questions right. Six got them all wrong.
  • While people with a high level of religious commitment do better than average on the religion questions, people with low levels of religious commitment do better than average on the general knowledge questions (which were included for comparison purposes).

“When it comes to religion, there are a lot of things that Americans are unfamiliar with. That’s the main takeaway,” Greg Smith, a senior researcher at the think tank and one of the main authors of the survey, told CNN.

The 32-question quiz polled more than 3,400 Americans by telephone. Visit the CNN website to take a 10-question version of the quiz. You can view the study here.

Surprise! 1/3 of blacks back tea-party movement

'The wheels on the race-card bus are beginning to fall off'


Posted: September 25, 2010 0-  10:15 pm Eastern

By Drew Zahn © 2010 WorldNetDaily

WASHINGTON - SEPTEMBER 12: A woman dressed as Sarah Palin poses with other activists during a rally on the West Front of the U.S. Capitol Building on September 12, 2010 in Washington, DC. Members of the Tea Party and other activists gathered at the 'Remember In November' Rally to protest large government and rally for conservative principals nearly two months before US midterm elections. (Photo by Brendan Smialowski/Getty Images)

A new poll released this week soundly contradicts critics' claims that the tea-party movement is "fringe," "white" and "racist."

PJTV's Tea Party Tracking Poll has monitored nationwide sentiments toward the tea party on a weekly basis since Aug. 2. The poll's most recent reports reveal the following results:

  • The number of people who identify as "members" of the tea party has more than tripled over the last month alone, up to 21 percent of likely voters;
  • Fifty-five percent of those surveyed said they support the tea parties based on the movement's positions on the issues;
  • Among the likely voters who are black, 32 percent said they would vote for a candidate backed by the tea parties.

The last statistic caught the attention of PJTV.

Just what is the real deal about America's racial obsession? Find out in "Negrophilia," personally autographed by the author

"Questions of racism within the tea party have been raised for months now," said PJTV's Polling Director Vik Rubenfeld in a statement. "Our survey found that more than one in three African-Americans support the movement. Moreover, the data revealed that 32 percent are also likely to vote for a congressional candidate whom the tea party supports."

Joe Hicks, PJTV host and former executive director for the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, said the poll "shows that, for many black voters, race no longer serves as a rationale for supporting policies that undermine their economic interests."

"Democrats and leftists have attempted to define the tea-party movement as a collection of angry white bigots," he said. "However, the PJTV poll of black voters shows the wheels on the race-card bus are beginning to fall off."

PJTV's Tea Party Tracking Poll uses Pulse Opinion Research – which conducts automated polls for businesses, media outlets and even Rasmussen Reports – to monitor opinions toward the tea parties from sample groups of 1,000 respondents, including a special analysis of 543 likely voters who identify as African-American.

In the Aug. 8 poll, while 24 percent of respondents claimed to have friends and family who were members of tea parties, only 6 percent took the title for themselves.

But the number of self-identifying "members" grew, such that by Sept. 12, barely more than one month later, 21 percent claimed to be a member of the tea parties.

Also trending upward is outward support for the movement.

On Aug. 8, of the likely voters who identified as tea-party members, only 34 percent said they supported the movement publicly, while 53 percent admitted they only supported the movement privately.

In the last month, however,  proportion of tea partiers who support the movement publicly has risen to 44 percent.

“An enlightened citizenry is indispensable for the proper functioning of a republic. Self-government is not possible unless the citizens are educated sufficiently to enable them to exercise oversight. It is therefore imperative that the nation see to it that a suitable education be provided for all its citizens. It should be noted, that when Jefferson speaks of "science," he is often referring to knowledge or learning in general.” … Thomas Jefferson

 

Obama's Wars

Woodward Book Already Burning Obama Administration
 Stunning Allegations in New Book - Video

President Barack Obama's top advisers are depicted in a new book as arguing over much of the past 20 months about policy and turf, with some top members of his national security team doubting the president's strategy in Afghanistan will work.
The book, "Obama's Wars," by journalist Bob Woodward, says Obama aides were deeply divided over the war in Afghanistan even as the president agreed to triple troop levels there. Obama's top White House adviser on Afghanistan and his special envoy for the region are described as believing the strategy will not work.
According to the book, Obama said, "I have two years with the public on this" and pressed advisers for ways to avoid a big escalation in the Afghanistan war.
"I want an exit strategy," he said at one meeting. Privately, he told Vice President Joe Biden to push his alternative strategy opposing a big troop buildup in meetings.
While Obama ultimately rejected the alternative plan, the book says, he set a withdrawal timetable because, "I can't lose the whole Democratic Party."
Lt. Gen. Douglas E. Lute, the president's Afghanistan adviser, is described as believing the president's review of the Afghanistan war did not "add up" to the decision he made. Richard Holbrooke, the president's special representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan, is quoted as saying of the strategy, "It can't work," according to The New York Times, which obtained a copy of the book before its scheduled publication date, scheduled for next week.
Obama was among administration officials that Woodward interviewed for the book. The Times, which posted its article on its website Tuesday night, said the White House had no comment on the book. The Washington Post also reported on the book on its website late Tuesday night. Read more...
