The Conservative Revolution

Sean Hannity examines the link between Barack Obama and William Ayers, a founder of the Weather Underground in the video below. The Weather Underground was a radical domestic terrorist group that bombed the Pentagon, New York City police headquarters and planned an attack on Fort Dix. Ayers told the New York Times on Sep. 11, 2001 that he didn’t regret setting off the bombs. In fact, he wished he could have done more damage in his war against The United States.

Why does Barack Obama’s campaign spokesman say that he has a “friendly relationship” with William Ayers? Hannity explains the connection in the video below. Also, be sure to read the short biography of Ayers on Discover the Networks. As the Reverend Wright story will fade for a while, journalists should ask tough questions about the unrepentant terrorist’s connection to Barack Obama.

And I think he is right. Hillary is done. Get ready for the general election between Senator Obama and Senator McCain. Here is the video from MSNBC.

There is some debate over whether or not Reverend Jeremiah Wright’s comments matter when considering the presidential campaign of Barack Obama. For a few key reasons, I believe that this relationship does matter.

Yesterday’s speech at the National Press Club was a big mistake on Wright’s part. He kept his name in the news and refused to back down from his ludicrous claim that the government created AIDS to kill black folks. He made the outrageous statement that criticism of him is “an attack on the black church.” And he praised the racist and kooky leader of the Nation of Islam, Louis Farrakhan.

Barack Obama is running a campaign based on being a post-partisan and post-racial candidate who will change America. And he argues that his judgment trumps the experience of John McCain and Hillary Clinton. If we are to assess Obama’s ability to lead based on his “judgment” then we must conclude that he doesn’t have very good judgment at all. Would someone with good judgment stay in a black supremacist church that promotes black liberation theology? Would someone with good judgment maintain friendships with Tony Rezko and William Ayers? I think not. This is not guilt by association, but guilt by volition. Obama knew what kind of characters he was dealing with, and still made bad decisions by continuing these relationships and associations. His judgment is lacking, and without that, what is his rationale for being president?

There is another reason why the Rev. Wright controversy matters. His blame-America first ideology is part of mainstream leftist thought. The arguments he makes against America’s history and social organization fit right in with arguments made by leftist icons Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn and Che Guevara. There is nothing new here, just the same tired rhetoric meant to deconstruct America and, by extension, the West. This analysis is best exemplified by Dan Flynn’s book Why the Left Hates America. It makes sense for someone with a Marxist view of the world to vilify the country that best proves the Marxist paradigm to be unworkable and a nightmarish system for human beings. Rev. Wright, along with the other plethora of leftist academics and politicians, hurl attacks at this nation and its representative government because they cannot allow it to prove their leftist worldview to be the miserable failure that is is.

When you consider that Obama has made an issue over wearing the American flag on his lapel, and his wife has repeatedly bashed this country, it makes you wonder whether they agree with Rev. Wright’s comments. This is why Rev. Wright’s comments matter to the broader debate about who should, or should not, be president.

UPDATE: Obama denounces Wright

Obama just gave a press conference where he disavowed Wright’s statements at the National Press Club. Clearly the pressure from bloggers and the media convinced him he had to throw the pastor under the bus. I really don’t know whether Obama agrees with Wright and is just trying to save his political career, or disagrees with Wright but has not wanted to disown him. Either way, this won’t put the issue to bed. But I am glad that he at least addressed Wright’s statements more directly.

Here is the video of FreedomWorks Chairman Dick Armey’s recent appearance on CNBC’s show Kudlow and Company. In an earlier post I quoted Armey’s statement about Barack Obama. Now you can watch the video and hear Armey address Obama and liberals in general.

I finally got around to watching Reverend Jeremiah Wright’s interview with liberal hack Bill Moyers today. First, I want to congratulate Rev. Wright for his new $1 mansion in a white suburb of Chicago. Pointing out liberal hypocrisy is like shooting fish in a barrel. Should we even take seriously the views of people who don’t practice what they preach?

Putting that aside for now, let’s look at the interview with Moyers. Here are my thoughts.

1. Rev. Wright replaces so-called Eurocentrism with Afrocentrism. Why is one better than the other? And he is a proponent of black liberation theology, which takes this Afrocentrism even further.

2. Rev. Wright states as fact that the U.S. government gives drugs to African Americans. Conspiracy much?

3. Rev. Wright argues that “governments fail people.. they lie.” Well, why does he and his follower Barack Obama want to substantially increase government power in health care, energy, regulations and other things. If governments fail people, why not work to promote freedom and limit government?

4. Corporate owned media? You mean like the now “green friendly” MSNBC with Keith Olberman, Chris Matthews and David Gregory? I haven’t heard anything about how these liberal hosts have been prevented from espousing liberal views by their corporate masters. Besides, DailyKos and the Huffington Post are becoming as influential as corporate media outlets.

5. Those friendly “native americans” that Rev. Wright refers to were enslaving, killing, torturing and eating people on this continent before any European arrived. Man’s treatment of his fellow man has been good at times, but most often bad. The history of this continent, or any other continent bears that out. Wright says that “we” committed acts of terror to wipe out the “natives” and therefore we somehow deserved 911. I refuse to be blamed for acts that I had nothing to do with.

6. Wright has his own lies. Consider that he lies about the number of dead in Iraq and the number killed in the retaliatory strike on the empty facility in Sudan. He just makes numbers up to push his moral equivalence agenda on us.

7. Wright apparently opposed the retaliatory strike on the Libyan dictator Qadafi, which killed one of his sons. But did he condemn the Libyan acts of terrorism on innocent civilians that brought about that strike? Of course not.

When you constantly point out the bad in our culture and history, and refuse to see good, you are either delusional, angry, miserable or just a liberal. Or maybe all of the above. I’m simply not impressed with anything Wright has said. I’ve already read most of Noam Chomsky’s books on why we should hate Amerikkka.

My friend and fellow blogger Francisco Gonzalez says that Barack Obama can’t win the White House. I tend to believe that he is the favorite, despite the weaknesses Cisco cites. But I hope he is right and I am wrong!

Here is an excerpt from his blog Enjoying Freedom Every Day.

Think about it. He got trounced in both Ohio and Pennsylvania. Trounced. If a Democrat is going to take the White House, they need BOTH of those states. Ohio is a key battleground state, while Pennsylvania is a state that demographically represents the United States with its diverse populations, large cities and small towns.

If Obama has so much momentum WITHIN the Democrat party, if he is the front-runner, why aren’t the Democrats of Pennsylvania getting behind him to end this thing and move on to the general election?

Good questions. But I think the Democrats will be solidly behind Obama once he gets the nomination. Those hundreds of thousands of Hillary voters will fall in line and pull the lever for Obama. If she were to win, on the other hand, I think Obama supporters would not come out for her. Time will tell.

Dick Armey, chairman of FreedomWorks, slammed Senator Barack Obama for his lack of experience and his liberal voting record on CNBC’s Kudlow and Company last night.

Here is the full quote:

It’s very hard to predict what the future behavior would be of a person who’s had no past record of actually initiating anything. But what we do know about Senator Obama is he has the most liberal voting record of anybody in the Senate.

Therefore, we can observe that he will go along with any left-wing scheme that comes along. While he’s never had a policy initiative of his own, we could expect that if he were to win the White House, he would take the initiatives that came out of Congress – an increasingly more liberal and emboldened Congress – and you’d get many left-wing schemes coming out of the House and Senate to his desk, which he would sign, and embrace, and call his own.

[Obama] is a fascinating person. It’s so hard for me to understand how a person who is so wholly devoid of any on-the-job, policy accomplishment can take the job with these kinds of responsibilities, having demonstrated none in his life.

John McCain brought up Barack Obama’s “friendly” relationship with unrepentant terrorist William Ayers on today’s edition of This Week with George Stephanopolous.

“He became friends with him and spent time with him while the guy was unrepentant over his activities as a member of a terrorist organization, the Weathermen,” said the Arizona senator.

“Does he condemn them? Would he condemn someone who that says they’re unrepentant and wished that they had bombed more?”

Finally, McCain has begun to bring up this potentially campaign-ending revelation that has mostly gotten play on Fox News’ Hannity and Colmes. While the mainstream media reported on the story for a few days, other stories about Obama’s questionable friends have gotten more attention. (See Reverend Jeremiah Wright.) When you combine the fact that Obama has refused to wear a flag lapel pin, with his wife’s disdain for America and the Bill Ayers ties, Obama could be facing a big problem when it comes to patriotism.

As news reports indicate, John McCain is planning to hit Obama hard on this topic in the general election. And well he should.

This is a great piece of editing by someone chronicling the rough and tumble nature of the Democrat primary. Clever work, and fun to watch.

Just when I thought things couldn’t get any worse for Barack Obama, Hamas thug Ahmed Yousef made the following statement.

We don’t mind–actually we like Mr. Obama. We hope he will (win) the election and I do believe he is like John Kennedy, great man with great principle, and he has a vision to change America to make it in a position to lead the world community but not with domination and arrogance.

Obama already has some explaining to do about his ties to domestic terrorist Bill Ayers. And Jimmy Carter reminded everyone this week what the Democrats think about our Islamist enemies by literally embracing them.

This kind of terrorist coddling simply will not play in the general election among us God-fearing, gun-toting rural Americans. If the Democrats don’t want to fight our enemies then perhaps they should just submit to dhimmitude right now. As long as the liberals in San Francisco get to drive their hybrids they probably won’t even mind living in submission to Islam.
