Barack Obama: Red Star Rising

No nuance here, no, no, no. Obama supporters in Minnesota put a Red Star smack in the middle of his logo, obliterating his little over the rainbow lie. It's Red Star Rising--Barack Obama's hope and change, Soviet style. Stanley Kurtz, NRO gives us the straight talk on Obama's socialism:

A variety of evidence now indicates, with a high degree of likelihood, that Barack Obama was a member of the far-left New Party, which also endorsed him in his first run for the Illinois state senate in 1996. Obama’s New party ties graphically illustrate the connection between his troubling “associations” and the core economic issues of the presidential campaign. The New Party’s agenda was radically redistributionist. More important, the New Party’s specific strategy for achieving its economic goals precisely paralleled Obama’s now infamous 2001 radio remarks on “major redistributive change.”

Kurtz cites a number of sources, unearths some new ties with the founder of the New Party, and asks this question:

Are Obama’s radical plans all in the past? There is no reason to think so. Aside from the fact that 2001 is not very long ago, Obama shows every sign of hoping to build a base for long-term economic change from below. Obama’s has promised a massive national service program closely allied with the nonprofit sector. In conjunction with this, Obama plans to remove “barriers for smaller nonprofits to participate in government programs.” In other words, Obama plans a massive effort to funnel America’s youth into volunteer work alongside the likes of ACORN. Not only might Obama’s favorite community organizers soon be training your child, the ultimate goal is arguably to bring to fruition Rogers’s dream of “popular governance rooted in mass democratic organization.” Over time, that is, a substantial new public sector, composed of radical community organizers and politicized student “volunteers,” would form the nucleus of a newly “democratized” capitalism. Some might call this the New Party road to de facto socialism.

Let's recall how he started his political career in Chicago. Let's look at where he channeled money meant for education. Then there are Barack Obama's own words, beyond spreading Joe the Plumber's wealth, even more recently than his WBEZ remarks of 2001, his rant in Daily Kos after Katrina--let's purge the Democrat moderates. Let's fool the public--Alinsky in action. Let's overwhelm the system. Sounds like someone else, doesn't it, his spiritual mentor of 20 years--what else is it but radical racist class envy:What else is it but hatred for the America we know and love. Barack Obama sees a red star rising over America.
